Software devs are so bad at estimation that there is a whole methodology/movement based on refusing to estimate, but devs report the time they have saved by using LLMs, and I’m supposed to take that number seriously?

If you're in Japan, important PSA!

Add this to your ~/.ssh/config:

IPQoS none

Turns out the default SSH QoS/DSCP setting puts you in a traffic class that NTT FLET'S IPoE treats as priority, but limited to 10mbps!

I was wondering why IPv6 rsync was so slow... (affects git push too!)

Edit: To clarify, this only affects apps that override the default DSCP flag, like SSH. Most other IPv6 client apps don't.

Billionaires hate any mechanism that creates the well informed

Attacks on Wikipedia come from the same sources as those attacking public education, book publishers, libraries, school boards, scientific foundations, news organizations, and public service institutions.

Billionaires believe that education makes people unhappy with their "station in life".

They view social mobility as a threat to their power & control. Stratified stagnation is very alluring to them.

A literate woman is one possibly not dependent on a man for a roof over her head.

An educated black or brown voter risks voting in their own self-interest, unlike MAGA.

A widely read immigrant perpetuates alternative policy positions, other than vulture capitalism.

Okay but on some level it is very funny that team "facts not feelings" built machines they claim can ferret out absolute "truth" and "reason" through machine learning, and are now big mad that those programs are too woke because reality has a known woke bias.

Like I mean I get that this realization is never going to sink in for these nazis and it wouldn't make a lick of difference if it did, but it is extremely funny in the abstract.

Some day there will be a documentary about Eurovision, showing how they heroically invented a technology that filters out booing during Israel's performance, banned pride flags from stage, beat up people shouting “free palestine”, and shut down all opposition to banning a genocidal state from participating, despite multiple nation's public broadcasters urging them to have at least a conversation about it.

I'd say this isn't like Eurovision, but sadly this is very much aligned with Europe's spirit.

Instead of storing my data in the cloud, I just store it in the bush. It's the same thing, only palette-swapped. More accessible, too.

yeah, I concur.

Cry and sob hysterically at every occasion, especially when confronted by government clerks.

Friends and enemies, I would like to show you the best blue screen of death I've ever seen. I pulled over with two hyperactive dogs in the car just to take the picture.
