Oh, so forced labour then?

API calls get more expensive, not less, as you've loaded more context. This is exactly when you want to switch to cheaper models.

Maybe they're putting out a weather balloon to test sentiment. That way when they're caught they can just point at the other page to say it was just a mistake.

I think with power tools on Windows 11 at least it forces the privilege escalation window to pop under.

For me it's mostly just that the SSH performance on a large monorepo is much worse than HTTPS.

While the motivation is similar this basically kills the feature. It requires that your friends not only use but continue to maintain their accounts.

From my understanding of OP's implementation, being completely offline they can basically just keep the key on a USB or file store of any kind.

Personally I think the most robust solution is single key access (a la emergency kit), distributed in one or more secure bank vaults for redundancy (many still do offer these for free or cheaply for small boxes). Put instructions in your (living) will and done.

I don't see a reason not to be loyal to Steam. I probably spend just as much if not more than console gamers but in return I get so much more value.

If AI really generates the value it claims to cutting jobs is short sighted. If existing human knowledge is commoditized, then we should be able to invest in generating new knowledge, and creating new kinds of products that were not even possible before.

$45/hr is low for GTA. I was making about that in Toronto in 2017 with two years experience, one year vocational degree, and a bachelor's in a completely unrelated field.
Re:Trying to get error backtraces in Rust libraries right on Saturday August 30, 2025 @10:25AM (#45074946)
Maybe this is my Golang dev leaking, but I intuitively thought that `try: / except:` in Python is essentially the same thing as `if err != nil`, just my IDE doesn't scream at me if I don't catch them.
