Every time I open up eShop I am astonished how the main place where I am supposed to pay money to Nintendo is literally the slowest, most annoying and unresponsive thing on Switch. I am literally astonished at how they have managed to make it that bad.

In Poland we have "Hunger is the best condiment", I guess it might be something similar

am I being too grumpy?

• Ring roads that go around the city to take as much traffic out of it as possible,
• many public transport lines that were designed some time ago and were never updated to more efficiently cover whatever was added after them
• smaller, detached villages / small cities away from the main city that sometimes grow full of skyscrapers for some reason

Most people who are in dev aren’t maintaining shit.

I disagree, but maybe what I do in "dev" is a bubble where things are different.

They are going to care if you can maintain your code. Programming isn't "write, throw it over the fence and forget about it", you usually have to work with what you - or your coworkers - have already done. "Reading other people's code" is, like, 95% of the programmers job. Sometimes the output of a week long, intensive work is a change in one line of code, which is a result of deep understanding of a project which can span through many files, sometimes many small applications connected with each other.

ChatGPT et al aren't good at that at all. Maybe they will be in the future, but at the moment they are not.

Żadnej luki nie potrzeba. Jeśli jesteś autorem to możesz zmienić licencję kiedy chcesz i na jaką chcesz. Każdy kontrybuujący z zewnątrz musiał podpisać CLA które im na to pozwalało.

A taki ładny komunikator był, jak discord wyglądał. \s

I remember some PCs had an option in BIOS to turn on at specific time

W sumie chętnie poczytałbym o tofu underground

O cyk, kolejny artykuł do mojej kolekcji linków podsyłanych osobom dziwiącym się jak ja mogę unikać mięsa

I think most people can believe that he knows something about manufacturing, but almost everyone doubts that he "knows more than anyone currently alive on this planet". Those are quite different things.

I'd rather say that it's "learning from history of similar services". Facebook also seemed nice in the beginning.

Ogólnie w kwestii Dolnego Śląska polecam zarówno przeglądanie strony Radia Wrocław, a jak ktoś jest lokalnie to ogarnięcie radioodbiornika (najlepiej na baterie, jeśli zabraknie prądu) i słuchanie na częstotliwościach:

• Wrocław, Legnica 102,3 FM
• Wałbrzych 95,5 FM
• Zgorzelec, Bolesławiec 103,6 FM
• Kudowa - Zdrój 98,0 FM
• Kotlina Jeleniogórska 96,7 FM
• Kotlina Kłodzka 96,0 FM
• Bogatynia 89,0 FM

I always go with the following strategy:

• Tons of public transport to ensure that local commute doesn't have to rely on cars. In general, if I start to get the feeling that I need to place a highway in the city to solve the congestion problem, then I look what route is under served by public transport.
  • Buses or trams (if I want to be fancy) for shorter routes, metro for longer distances.
  • Passenger trains for inter-city and longest local transport.
  • Cargo trains in industrial hubs, but careful with those, as they tend to generate a lot of traffic when trucks come and go. I usually do some sort of a traffic sponge (one-way road that leads only to the cargo train station) for trucks to wait without blocking other traffic.
• I use highways sparingly and only for longer distances, like connections between cities. I try to build them outside of the city, so it would also act as a bypass - the cars which are not going into my city but through it won't generate traffic in the city itself this way.

I saw the following comment on the orange site:

Telegram offers end-to-end encryption in the same way that McDonalds offers salads.

and I really like that take

They aren't, Telegram is not a secure messenger. There are e2e chats, but those are not groupchats, they are not always available (not on the desktop or using the web client) and in general they are rarely used. All those big groups and channels are unencrypted and there's nothing stopping the authors from looking into them.

I personally switched from NextCloud to Syncthing.

Syncthing:

• is easier for me to maintain,
• allows for the "server" to be behind NAT,
• lets me have multiple "servers" at the same time (eg. something at home and a VPS)
• lets me have certain "servers" set as untrusted, so all data on them is encrypted, while others can have it unencrypted for easier access I put "server" in quotes, as Syncthing doesn't really have a server, all clients are equal peers.

On the other hand, NextCloud:

• gives me a way to share files by link with others,
• lets me browse files via a web interface,
• mobile app lets me access files as I need them instead of having to synchronize everything.
