Thank you, I wouldn’t have known how to react to the child’s amusing statement without the emojis instructions.
- Comment on Open letter: ~100 EU companies urge EU lawmakers to take “radical action” to shrink the reliance on foreign infrastructure by fostering a so-called “Euro stack”. 2 weeks ago:
As a software house, running our own infrastructure would be a nightmare in so many ways… Just thinking of all the hardware that needs to be deployed, and how many sites worldwide we’d need just to provide the same level of service we have now, and then being able to scale up massively during peak time but have all that capacity go to waste during low season, then dedicated teams on all sites to handle emergencies 24/7, the massive loses of revenue anytime the services are down…
“Just in-house it” is definitely not the answer, there’s a reason AWS makes so much money.

Thanks for the straight answer, brother.

This is surprisingly myopic from someone who supposedly works in the field.
Where do your full stack applications run, my friend?
Because unless you’re in China or Russia, the answer is either AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.
Nobody is looking to reinvent the wheel. The call is for the EU to invest heavily in infrastructure, like building its own chips, creating its own data centres, and yes, developing its software industry to provide alternatives to all the proprietary/closed stuff.

That’s not what this is, and even then, that competition wasn’t even good. You had two countries hoarding technological advancements for themselves, with everything having to be discovered twice.
This is a worldwide collaboration, where each assists the others, and it’s a much better way of making progress. See ITER.

I looked up what dingus means, and got this:
nouninformal•North American used to refer to something one cannot or does not wish to name specifically.
So it’s like Voldemort… takes notes

Of course not, how could you miss the oversized stuffed mascot sitting across from him??
- Comment on The USA was always broken 1 month ago:
And it’s hard to overstate that the post WW2 golden age came as a result as the rest of the entire world being devastated by war, while the US industry was absolutely untouched and immediately ready to pivot from war time demand to supplying the world.
That ain’t gonna happen again.

Definitely not, a bacteriophage is like 500 nanometres. A tardigrade is 0.5 mm, or 500 000 nanometres, literally 1000x the size.

Yes but that’s from a company that builds decent cards at an acceptable price, and not from the HypeLords of the Lesser Return on Investment Unless You’re a Farm.

- Comment on I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone 2 months ago:
The scary thought here isn’t that they’re actively listening in.
It’s that they know enough about you to know that something will be of interest to you before you even realise it yourself…

That’s the most unlikely story I’ve heard in a minute… Even assuming there’re some deep rooted kernel level shenanigans, which no one has found yet, how would you fiddling with some settings expose that?
Probably just got a dropped call, and it resumed the playlist in shuffle, I’ve had it happen where the music comes out as if in a phone call (messes up frequencies) for a few seconds before it goes back to normal. Occam’s razor and all

It’s much better now. 20 something years ago, I was a freshman med student. It was disturbingly common for a teacher (a doctor) to start smoking in the middle of a lecture, which were held in auditoriums inside the hospital.
