“You know, it occurs to me that the best way you hurt rich people is by turning them into poor people.”
- Comment on Whats the most downvoted comment/post on lemmy? 1 month ago:
Anytime I post about AI or LLMs I get aggressively downvoted.
I do not do it very often and when I do it usually a gee whiz, look at that post. Inevitably the response is AI slop!!! AI is bad, you are bad , you should feel bad.
- Comment on What really separates a PC from a server? Mainly the hardware, but I guess software too. 1 month ago:
A PC can be a server. A server can be a PC.
Famously Google use commodity PC hardware to build the v1 version of its search engine:
- Comment on Valve adds "all the Team Fortress 2 client and server game code" to its Source mod tools, letting modders "build completely new games based on TF2" and publish them on Steam 1 month ago:
Source Mod tools not to be confused with Sourcemod tools.
- Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone? 1 month ago:
I can only speak for myself and my kids. I have an iPhone because my work gave me one for free. They only support iPhone for security reasons. Keeping Android devices up to date across a large fleet is challenging leaving security gaps. For my kids they wanted my old iPhones because it’s what all their friends have.
- Comment on Why was Hitler so mean and hateful toward one group or another? I find it hard to believe he woke up one day and said you and you suck but these people over here are good. Taking it so far as killing? 2 months ago:
He was a shit human, but he was also a politician. His political message had two parts: 1. Jews are responsible for all our problems 2. We need to conquer more lands.
He said this was the only alternative to handing the country to communists.
The simple xenophobic message appealed to the common people, fear of communism bought the elites in-line.
- Comment on if you've had or have anger issues, how did you become a better human? 3 months ago:
Sometimes it helps to feel bad for someone instead of being angry at them. I think of Gandalf’s quote from LOTR:
“Frodo: ‘It’s a pity Bilbo didn’t kill Gollum when he had the chance.’
Gandalf: 'Pity? It’s pity that stayed Bilbo’s hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment.” - Comment on We got several more inches of snow last night after getting over seven a few days ago. I went to my local newspaper's website to find out if there was anything I should know. This was their top story. 3 months ago:
So what’s the deal with the crows?
- Comment on What administrative powers exist among workspaces in the software industry and why? 3 months ago:
From an enterprise security perspective you want to operate with a least privilege model. For developers who need admin access this is typically granted through some just-in-time temporary elevation process, but many developers who are writing code and pushing builds through a devops CICD pipeline may not need admin to do their jobs.
- Comment on what works for you to let go? 3 months ago:
Sometimes it helps to feel bad for the person rather than get angry. As Gandalf said in the LOTR:
“Frodo: ‘It’s a pity Bilbo didn’t kill Gollum when he had the chance.’
Gandalf: 'Pity? It’s pity that stayed Bilbo’s hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment.”Remember that plumber earns his livelihood on his professional reputation. If he cannot keep an appointment, he is failing at his career.
- Comment on Fuck geometry 4 months ago:
In the complex plane each of these vectors have magnitude 1 and the distance between them is square root of two as you would expect. In the real plane the imaginary part has a magnitude of zero and this is not a triangle but a line. No laws are broken here.
- Comment on Has anyone ever come up with what a Palestinian State would look like without wiping Israel of the map? If so have both sides ever been presented the offer? If not why? 4 months ago:
It is exactly what happened with the settlement of native american lands in the US. Settlers move into land given by treaty to the Indians, when trouble occurs the military is sent in and the Indians are inevitably ejected from their lands.

You should be continually contributing over time allowing you to benefit from the dips by buying low. This offsets the losses and is called dollar cost averaging,
