People want cheap products in a general sense, they don’t like off shoring, it was hugely disruptive to jobs and the quality nose dives (at least for a time, sometimes permanently). They didn’t ask for or choose it, they’re the low information side of the system

Of course they’re upset at things being tariffed, they don’t want prices going up. They likely have some preference to buy things made locally, or by a country with a reputation

None of this is a choice made by consumers, it’s a generalized set of incentives and pressures created by the market

It’s like planned obsolescence… People hate it, it’s being sold to them

It continues to boggles my mind how so many people are walking around with a narrator and movies playing in their head, and how I went through decades of life before I realized that was a thing

How do I know where my keys are? I just remember the location of my keys…I don’t see them, I remember their location. It’s one of a million little quantifications of the environment my brain does for me automatically all the time. In fact, I generally notice and remember where all the keys I see are, because I think of keys as an important object to keep track of

I won’t remember what they look like, except as a very general impression. I’ll probably remember if they’re big or small bunches of keys, or if they’re on a lanyard, but I probably won’t remember if a keychain is red or green. I’ll remember it’s on a side table near the door, or on this side of the room.

But I’ll remember qualia of the keys. I’ll remember if I see an individual put them down somewhere, and if there’s something interesting about the keys I’ll probably remember that, but generally? I probably won’t remember much except the general location

At the end of the day, I remember what I notice, which is generally what matters to me subjectively. My mind stores everything as impressions

The first two are debt related, and the third is off shoring

People didn’t ask for any of that… It was sold to them for profit

Good job boing

Why do new languages come into creation?

Because someone with the understanding and education to write a new language decided the ones they know aren’t cutting it

Paintings are pigment expressed upon a medium. Code is thought expressed through a medium

People create new paints all the time

Yeah, and back them my hackles raised then trump would threaten elections

Go on, try to hit the caravan speech now… I sleep

Microsoft basically took it from Bethesda and cleared out a bunch of their core staff

The IP might not have been transferred, but Bethesda’s product ownership has been revoked. They didn’t even let outside teams touch their offshoot projects (like apps), and now the IP is probably going to be milked

Maybe obsidian will do something interesting with it before it inevitably is reduced to slop

In their defense, it was very boring. The white house hyped it up like he was going to drop a bomb, but it was just the same speech he always does

…Isn’t that what we’re talking about though? Or did I misunderstand the OP?

The post said they were neon database creds, so I would think those would live on the production system in .env

Rereading it, it seems that they probably set their local build to point at the prod database… Which is like halfway developing (with AI) in prod (which I think we’d agree is not ideal)

I do absolutely agree with what you’re saying though, not everyone should have access to the prod system for sure… Especially not an AI on a loose leash

I’d split the difference and say we’re both right

There’s no step 2. They think that displacement of immigrants will fix the medical system, raise wages, create free labor, and make their children speak to them again

Why? Because every problem can be attributed to “the enemy”, and so removal of “the enemy” will fix everything

It’s the core of fascism, if they somehow succeeded “the enemy” would transition from brown people to dissenters and then “fake” fascists or impure bloodlines or something

There must always be an enemy, because a fascist movement runs on hatred for “the enemy”… That’s the whole plan

How do you bounce the system? How do you auto restart the service if it fails? At the end of the day, a lot of creds have to essentially be stored in plain text somewhere

And to be clear, to me production creds mean creds that live on the production system, not creds that give access to the production system

The crazier thing here is why was an AI working on or pushing to prod

Permanent standard time is objectively better, if anyone bothered to listen to the experts the opinion is clear. Last time we tried permanent dst it didn’t last through the first winter, because people hated it

Plus it’s been studied, having groggy people driving to work in the dark causes a lot more accidents than driving home in the dark

Trump is a symptom, not the cause. Our democracy has been hacked and dismantled, if we want it back it must be rebuilt

She’s a way better writer than she is a person

She is a pretty shit writer though

Time left to live. There’s plenty of useful things that tell you more about a person, but shinigami eyes would let you save lives and know it, even if no one else does

And if it turns out the number can’t be changed through your actions, that would tell you a lot. If nothing else, you could say goodbye to loved ones and get incredibly rich by finding a CEO about to run out of time

Well, suspended except when it’s a criminal warrant. Which is how it always was

It’s good to repeat it: immigration is a civil matter. It’s a matter of paperwork. Do you know who goes after the murderers and rapists? The fucking police

Better than hard coded… Ideally we use tokens+fingerprint or something to avoid storing the creds directly (if possible), but putting them in environment variables is pretty common

It’s not the worst thing, it’s very convenient (so people won’t go around it) and usually not the weak point in security (although AI being able to easily see it is an interesting twist)

Reconstruction was ended too early, in large part because of the Lincoln assassination, and the very questionable choice to appease the South by putting Andrew Johnson a heartbeat away from the presidency

We definitely should have been draconian in punishing the south, but our greatest mistake is civility politics. The leaders were all in the same social circles, and to this day that’s a recurring problem that plagues most democracies. They didn’t want real consequences for their buddies

So all in all, we didn’t strip enough power from the leadership and stopped punishment way earlier than even the overly light-handed plan in place

Well, not quite… See they’re trying to keep daylight savings time permanently instead of staying with normal time permanently

This has been attempted before, and it didn’t last through the winter. It’s apparently pretty brutal on people when the sun doesn’t rise until 9 or 10, and experts say it’s possibly the worst option for public health

Yeah but the context clues are a hell of a lot easier there. You’re holding an object, and if someone called it a chupa-chupa or a sucker most people would be able to put that together pretty easily

Now imagine you’re going through stretches and someone walks in and is like “oh, playing football are you”. You could be preparing to go outside and play football… But you’re just stretching

I think most people would be confused by that unexpected second meaning of a familiar word
