No matter how old I get, I still find it weird thinking, even for a nanosecond, that for me to exist my parents and grandparents had to do THAT kind of thing.

I was once in the plane and I asked the flight attendant to please bring me some water. I wanted to swallow an Omega 3 gel cap. Thinking she wouldn’t be long (I didn’t fly often back then), I put it in my mouth. It was only a couple of minutes, but the flavour of that thing dissolving is still on my top 5 of the most disgusting things I’ve ever tasted.

- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 6 days ago:
The fact that I bought all my machines used (and mostly on sale), and that not one of them is general purpose, id est, I bought each piece of hardware with a (more or less) concrete idea of what would be its use case. For example, my machine acting as a file server is way bigger and faster than my desktop, and I have a 20-year-old machine with very modest specs whose only purpose is being a dumb client for all the bigger servers. I develop programs in one machine and surf the internet and watch videos on the other. I have no use case for VMs besides the Logical Domains I setup in one of my SPARC hosts.
- Comment on Education doesn't increase intelligence by making people memorize things, but by constantly reminding people that they might be wrong. 2 weeks ago:
I’d argue that learning to socialise, and the so-called social intelligence that comes with it, is THE killer argument for schools and against homeschooling.

I was watching Farenheit 9/11 the other day. I quickly realised that, with the Orange Maggot’s ominous shadow casting over every other bad president anywhere ever, it has been very easy (for people not living in Iraq and Afghanistan) to forget what a giant, bloody, stinky asshole this ‘man’ was and how much damage he caused.

The only thing I learned worth remembering while working as an intern in a real state firm was the phrase ‘in this business, the only fair deal is when the buyer screams because he paid too much, and the seller cries because he sold too cheap.’
- Comment on There is no good reason why there is still homelessness and poverty 3 weeks ago:
A quick look at the Wikipedia article The world’s billionaires will reveal that billionaires have an estimated aggregate net worth of 16 trillion. That’s more than 2,000 dollars for every single human being on this planet. Maybe not as individuals, but as a collective, they literally have the possibility of ending world hunger. And that’s only the richest three thousand or so.

I consider keto to be a fad, and it can be dangerous if you have no competent nutritionist to guide you. Buuuuuuuuut…
I met a guy in one of my past office jobs. The guy looks 45, but is 60. Not only that, but he looks way younger than 10 years ago before starting the diet. He eats 20 grams of carbs a day (!) so that’s simply out of the question for me…

You’re absolutely right about that, motherfucker.

Surprise, surprise, motherfxxxers. Now you’ll have to re-hire most of the people you ditched. AND become humble. What a nightmare!
- Comment on Chrome VPN Extension With 100k Installs Screenshots All Sites Users Visit 1 month ago:
This is the reason I’ve always been skeptical of all those Video Download Non Plus Ultra Pro 9000 extensions, also in Firefox. I’m like yea right. Next thing I know I’ll be getting copyright infringement and piracy notices plus cease-and-desist letters.

I still can’t forgive myself for not having asked a chick for her number after I had a good dance with her at a party…25 years ago. She was very pretty, exactly my kind of woman, at least physically, which is presumably why I was afraid to ask. It made me realise that I absolutely prefer to deal with the pain of rejection than to deal with the resentment and self-loathing of not having asked a woman out, asked for her number or even just talked to her.
- Comment on GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation 1 month ago:
People not realising (or not caring enough about) the irony that more than 80% of open source projects are hosted in a platform which is a) not open source and b) owned by M$ has always been a mistery to me.

FFS will people ever use “it’s” and “its” correctly ?
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 1 month ago:
Because of this, I’ve always had ‘mixed feelings’ (to put it mildly) towards Mozilla, and sometimes I really struggle not to hate them. They’re (yet) not Google or Microsoft and that’s cool, but besides that, I also cannot think of more than a handful of good decisions against a ton of pretty awful ones, so right now I’ve settled for ‘a necessary evil’, which is pretty sad considering their potential.
