They should make the versions UUIDs instead of integers so that we don’t make assumptions about their ordinal relationships.

This is it, everybody. I found the moment when gen AI finally went too far.

Those questions/claims are really interesting as like… A way to teach children how to think about scale and approximation and stuff.

Adults holding those beliefs both a) sincerely and b) defensively though… Less cute.

Not sure if pleased or screaming 🤔

This meme is about net neutrality.

Why does being a team sport or not affect whether you can root for them?

_People vs. People

We had planned to get some memeing done but we had an all-hands right before sprint review, then sprint retro, then there was an “optional” product sync that we kinda had to go to, and then the team social, and that was basically our whole day.

Thought we might meme a bit at lunch, but there was a lunch-and-learn and it’s not like we were going to skip a free lunch.

Great contribution. Reminds me of “it’s not practice that makes perfect; perfect practice makes perfect.” Not exactly the same idea, but related: A good coach can elevate your progress well beyond what you can do yourself.

Or like consumptive knowledge vs. participatory knowledge or something.

I notice a huge difference between things that I consume alot of content for but don’t engage with, vs. things where I actually try to apply the knowledge. Your brain makes connections in a totally different way when you try to apply the knowledge.

I watched piano tutorials for like a year before I finally saved up for a decent digital piano to play at home. I had tons of little facts and ideas rattling around my head, which were actually very helpful, but completely disorganized. Every time I learned a new piece, some of that loose knowledge would Tetris into place, and things would get a little more coherent.

But there’s always this gap between my pool of ingested information and my ability to do something with it.

You seem pretty confident, so I’m gonna go ahead and internalize it as factual.

BRUSHED MY GODDAMN TEETH FOR NOTHING!

So uh… I understand that Kepler has died, but in what sense did he make him the Orbital Police?

Then what you do is

For me, it’s primarily #5: I want to know which apps are accessing the network and when, and have control over what I allow and what I don’t. I’ve caught lots of daemons for software that I hadn’t noticed was running and random telemetry activity that way, and it’s helped me sort-of sandbox software that IMO does not need access to the network.

Not much to say about the other reasons, other than #2 makes more sense in the context of working with other people: If your policy is “this is meant to be an HTTPS-only machine,” then you might want to enforce that at the firewall level to prevent some careless developer from serving the app on port 80 (HTTP), or exposing the database port while they’re throwing spaghetti at the wall wrestling with some bug. That careless developer could be future-you, of course. Then once you have a policy you like, it’s also easier to copy a firewall config around to multiple machines (which may be running different apps), instead of just making sure to get it consistently right on a server-by-server basis.

So… Necessary? Not for any reason I can think of. But useful, especially as systems and teams grow.

“…for NOW”

Totally. I’m not even sure how many do call themselves anti-establishment, but I do know that there’s lots of talk on the right about building a “second economy” and “alternative public square” and stuff like the Daily Wire trying to make movies, all as part of this “fine, I’ll open my own casino” kind of play. It’s very purposefully establisment-focused, just not the existing one.

Oh, sorry for misunderstanding you. I’m used to “getting results” as referring to achieving measurable business objectives, but the meaning changes completely if you meant the opposite, and I’m not sure I follow what you’re saying in that case.

Thanks for the recommendations. I will look at those.
