The article doesn’t say that. It says that most arent spending above 43% on housing. It doesn’t dig into that, likely on purpose.

LLM to generate ideas, history to check uniqueness
I get it.
There are quite a few areas on the linux desktop that show obvious signs of too many choices and loose integration making it an unpolished experience.
Outside of niches like online forums, people seem to think GUIs and marketing are what make something professional.
In reality outside of individual use you really want to avoid GUIs in configuration so that you can be consistent. You shouldnt have to dig down into menus and click through lots of screens to do comparisons or set something up. Thats really where Microsoft’s ecosystem is weakest right now. WinRM and powershell remoting lack polish in the same way wifi or bluetooth management in the linux desktop does
You cant fully setup winrm with gpo, for example listener addresses get bound the first time its enabled with gpo and then its just stuck at that. If the system has it’s ip changed you have to disable the gpo to make any changes and when you get it fixed it reverts when the policy is applied again
Microsoft only seems to care about how things will be managed in their cloud now and all products for managing things locally are showing some rot. Sccm -> mecm -> mem is terrible, theyve even ending all training for tools for on premises management. All they do is azure training and certs now.
You can absolutely go as nuts or more nuts with this on linux. You can do all kinds of hardening steps, and centrally deploy the policies with push or pull. Microsoft has even moved towards dsc (desired state configuration).
Other languages behind reverse proxies from apache httpd or nginx do not have the same memory hit. You can still blame php. Not my fault they tied their language to the webserver in a way that uses tons of extra memory.
Easy example. Have they fixed file upload behavior yet? Do they store the entire file in memory by default instead of chunking it and storing it as it comes in?
If not it’s like the worst memory usage of any language possible.
If you have to go change the php.ini to adjust file upload sizes, it’s not really moving forward and is decades behind other languages.
In congested cities if you don’t enter the intersection when its not completely clear then you’ll have to wait ~40 minutes for a chance to go across. Waymo’s riders have that as one of the biggest frustrations. Then theres a gridlock behind them.
There’s no winning with cars.
I am on a cycle right now where I can’t sleep without ambien and 300mcg melatonin. I’ve struggled with falling and/or staying asleep my whole life. My brain will calm down some and ill taper off of the ambien again at some point.
Besides the long term health, i am just not a pleasure to be around if i run on no sleep.
I still have some triptans, a couple different ones in the medicine cabinet. I can go a year without thinking i might need one. They make me feel like my brain is starved for oxygen or something like that.
They do work, but if hydration, tylenol, or ibuprofen will help I’d rather use them.
Yeah I think it went away at the start of my 30s. Definitely glad it’s not a worry anymore.
I can still get stress or dehydration headaches, but no constant small one that breaks through to eye stabbing with my heartbeat.
I have heard it is common for them to go away by 30s.
For a decent chunk of my early 20s i had to take amitriptyline a couple of hours before bedtime to prevent migraines. It also makes you sleep on cloud 9. I was on call at nights and there was no snapping out of the sleep pull, thats the only scenario I can think that it may not help.
Talk to a doctor about it. I have had a couple of brain scans and don’t have anything up there that looks bad. It just happens to some people.
I’m glad you checked it out. It’s quite a fun and absurd series.
I read your name as stoned morman
Have you also listened to He who fights with monsters?
That series is pretty great and I had never gotten into the litrpg or isekai genres before then.
While I understand your perspective, it’s worth noting that reactions to offenses, like many emotions, exist on a spectrum. Some individuals might experience deep hurt from a comment that others brush off with ease. While we can’t always control our immediate emotional responses, we can cultivate resilience and perspective over time. Claiming that no one would choose to be offended might oversimplify a complex web of human emotions and social dynamics. Some might lean into being offended as a defense mechanism or to further a personal or societal narrative. Emotions are complex, and so are the reasons behind them.
For a single new problem that hasn’t yet been automated I use CLI utilities to collect information to use to write code for a new automation.
I use web UIs to monitor metrics (grafana) and write custom exporters to collect metrics that can show performance or potential issues and logs.
If I really like a book or series and there are parts that are very dry to me, I just skim to see if there’s anything I might miss. I rarely have to backtrack.
I normally buy them on release day if it looks like a game i want to play. The bugs don’t seem to bother me that much and I dont come across as many spoilers that way.
I’m a programmer myself, and it’s interesting for me to think about some bugs. Maybe that’s part of the reason why I don’t understand all of the hate.
If your balcony could support the load you could grow quite densely with hydroponic towers, but you won’t ever recoup the costs. That method is also very little work beyond the initial compared to soil.
