I bet if Morgan Spurlock knew how it was all going to turn out he'd have eaten a lot more McDonalds.
Ngl, it seems to me like an irc chat client should be a pretty stable codebase anyway.
Fair enough, both are existential threats our kids pay for because we don't want to. However, most other things just aren't actually important.
Balance the federal budget. That should be priority #1.
I have a son, he's 2. What did he do to deserve a trillion dollars in debt(Canada's national debt was 458 billion in 2008, 591 billion in 2012, and is 1.17 trillion in 2024)?
His job is to grow up healthy and to learn to speak and listen, to read and write, to use numbers. He's doing his job.
His job is not to pay for a bunch of goods and services I want "someone else" to pay for.
Americans have a similar story. In 2000 the federal debt was 4 trillion. Today it's 34 trillion.
All the people whining about the boomers should remember that millennials were a big part of the voter base through most of those trillions and it went to programs pandering to you, so don't act like our hands are clean.

Sort of like if you stay a virgin until you're 30 you become a wizard?

Minor changes related to world war 2 being definitively the biggest conflict of the past 200 years. By body count there's a number of Asian conflicts that were comparable such as the Taiping rebellion, so I'd probably call it among the biggest conflicts. My note about relative non-combatant nations faring the best after the war still stands. Later on when I mention that sometimes you should fight anyway I probably would have wanted to mention that world war 2 nonetheless is widely seen as a moral war and although non-participants fared better it's still the right thing to do regardless if you personally benefit.
Of course the point I was making is that fighting doesn't magically confer benefits on the fighters, which I think remains.

I see a lot of people.talking about water consumption by data centers.
Big question is whether the water is consumed or just used.
Water is a renewable resource, so you can take it out if a river, run it through a heat exchanger, and return it and the water isnt consumed, it's just used and returned.
It seems that one major way of cooling is evaporative cooling. So the water is evaporated into the air, and eventually will fall as rain, and whether that's consumption becomes really complicated since it depends on local weather patterns and the like.
I do think there's an argument to be made that there's environmental effects from injecting Olympic swimming pools worth of water into the air every month. I would fully expect that to change the local climate.
Rest assured everyone that the parts stolen from a roadside sign that run my social media empire use not a drop of water for cooling!

Ironically, I was finding the me who has spent 3 more years deep diving into history was debating the me who wrote that. It's not totally wrong, especially in context, but it could probably be phrased more accurately.
Thanks. I couldn't remember where I was talking about that so I went back and found it in the Chapter "basics" where I was explaining that violence is a last resort and that it often isn't benefical to you. It kind of reminds me of the Sun Tzu quote: "He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight." -- I do say that sometimes you do have to fight, but especially when you're teaching a child it's often not that time.
What's funny is there's lots of posts tonight, and I was really got interested in reading this post until I realized I wrote it at the end. :P
tbf though, they can turn off a gasoline vehicle remotely.

I agree, it was a strawman and I was being intentionally obtuse so I could snark. Reality is a lot more nuanced.
On one hand, there's a lot of "governance" I see which just looks like attempts at bullying and domination to me. Demand everyone obey or affix them with a scarlet letter and try to rally enough people together that the people who control the lists become the most powerful people, able to shut down anyone they don't like.
That being said, even someone like me who has an empty blocklist, an empty mute list, and doesn't defederate anyone may occasionally have to use mod tools. The ideal for me would be having the ability to paint with as thin a brush as possible to achieve the desired result. I want even people I really don't like to be able to talk about things I really don't like within certain limits (which I don't need to tell anyone because I'm not their dad -- it's in the TOS)

I've never heard about this before, but it's sorta nuts seeing every party saying "yeah, this makes sense" except the one.
You're not the first person to suggest a blog, but it's more about the journey. I'm thankful to have people cool enough to have conversations about things with and who are willing to tolerate my big walls of text as I try to figure out the world with everyone.
