It really reads like an AI attempting to paraphrase the lyrics of the song without infringing upon copyright.

The 10 Rap Commandments was an homage to Biggies “10 Crack Commandments”. LMM put in tons of references to hiphop culture, literature, and pop-culture. I particularly like how he managed to work in “Screw your courage to the sticking place” as a reference to both Macbeth and the best song in his favorite Disney movie (Beauty and the Beast). (My opinion on being best song in B&B. Probably #2 for Disney Villain songs…Be Prepared has my #1 spot)

Man the dude is such an impressive lyricist. I can’t say I care much for his singing…he’s talented, don’t get me wrong, but far from the best singer in the original cast (which itself is a huge contest but probably Leslie Odom Jr (Burr), though Renee Goldsbury (Angelica Schuyler) or Philippa Soo (Elizabeth Schuyler/Hamilton) were both absolutely amazing too…“Burn” still gives me chills)…but writing is really his strength.

I thought “alpha” just meant full of bugs and not fit for production.

So…why hasn’t ICE scooped these guys yet?

If you owe the bank $1000, that’s your problem.

If you owe the bank $1,000,000,000…that’s the banks problem.

That’s weird I feel more ADHD than ever.

I switched off vyvanse to Adderall because vyvanse was mostly for BED and wegovy is kicking BEDs ass. Adderall used to be much better for focus/concentration/prioritization/organization/etceteration. But now? I don’t think it’s working.

Clearly you’ve never taken a management class.

It’s okay for small scale, dev, etc…on a fast and flat/local network.

But databases really don’t like NFS, SMB, or most file sharing protocols. There’s too much transaction overhead.

The effect gets exponentially worse as you add in latency. Database may as well be on the moon if you’ve got more than 10ms between it and the app (hyperbole but not really).

Use fast local storage, ideally. Or block if you have it. Async replicas if you are chasing 9s.

When databases fail, they fail spectacularly and cause ripples. Remember that you’ll be the one supporting it when they do.

Does distro hopping count?

Does it matter if I preserve /home?

Counterpoint: Linus was all out in the open.

I wouldn’t want to see what Bill Gates is like behind closed doors…especially as a kid.

btw, so is Gabe, but he is doing it on a much larger scale now

Not sure if this is meant to be a fat joke, but it’s worth the extra month wait for HL2E3 if it is.

Lol for real. Have you ever met a user?

Nothing…I was hoping to have some childhood heroes I can still keep.

If it’s any consolation I also worshipped Carmack and Zoid Kirsch (credited then by deadname)…

I was actually going to comment on that as well but I didn’t remember the exact history of git.

His newsgroup post announcing Linux is legendary, though.

Or are you referring to his guitar pedals?

I love how just…normal…Linus is. Like…humble. Content.

Like, hey, I revolutionized the world with a pet project. Nbd.

When I was a kid I worshipped Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. I’m glad I realized later that Linus and Woz are the real heroes.

Airing Sesame Street in the Middle East was one of the most effective western propaganda tactics of all time and this chucklefuck shredded it.

And replaced it with this.

Too many bad things happen when you teach women and children they don’t need to be sex slaves, I guess.

What river where?

I should hope that open source developers are exclusively using open source models that are trained on open source projects.

I mean, I would think, at least. It seems to me that most of the people in charge of big projects are usually FOSS purists.

That’s part of the reason why AI scrapers are breaking the small web. FOSS purists really have no significant defense against it aside from Anubis.

Real DoS protection comes from capacity, which costs serious dollars, especially in this day and age where botfarms can be hired by the hour for rather cheap and record-breaking attacks seem to happen like monthly.

The alternative is using a CDN, but there are none that align with FOSS ideals. And for CDNs to be really effective, you need them to break open TLS and handle the decrypted traffic, which raises privacy concerns on top.

But anyways…most license agreements would make it a requirement that if you’re using an open-source model, that it be properly attributed, right?

That’s been the back-and-forth for as long as I can remember.

A democrat builds a sandcastle, then a republican comes and knocks it down and mocks the democrat for having no sandcastle, while having no sandcastle of their own. Then next democrat comes and builds a new sandcastle, and it might be better than the last one, but it doesn’t matter, because next election cycle comes around and the republican gets elected and we gotta start all over again.

Dems can never make any actual progress, because every time they actually have power, they need to spend all of it repairing the shit done by the previous republican. Every single time.

Except this fucking pres is going a step further and relocating all the damn sand to to the fucking desert.

You just brought me back in time to honors history in highschool where I needed to go to the historical society library and had to use their microfilm to get stuff from an old newspaper.

I wonder if they still have microfilm now, or even put new papers onto it. It seems so archaic nowadays.
