Landlords are an excellent thing, as anyone that cannot afford, or does not want, to simply buy a house could tell you.

Set up is a phrasal verb and omitting the space is incorrect, yes, but only an annoying pedant would point it out.

It recommends Debian and says:

>I make my guides on this site for Debian 11. If you use another OS, just know that your [mileage] may vary in terms of you might need to change some instructions here minorly.

If you were going to complain about bad grammar, that sentence is a much better target, and yet it is still quite easily understandable.

Don't be ridiculous. You don't need to be computer savvy to use electronic banking. Cheques haven't been used in most countries for over a decade and the only actual difference is that you get transferred the money immediately instead of banking a cheque.

Fwiw, two factor authorization requires smartphone savvy. This is mind bending to the wall phone crowd. Not to mention the difficulty with lots of passwords that require new ones every so often. Not everybody grew up or lives digitally - there’s a whole lot of people who “had people do that for them” or didn’t work with computers in their career.

Great, now every operation has 300ms of latency. Kill me

If your ping is that high, you might be doing it wrong. Even Starlink is usually less than half that, usually a lot less. Most Remote Desktop setups I’ve seen are fairly and surprisingly responsive. It’s not quite as nice as a desktop 3 feet away, sure, but that only matters for a few things, and it’s good enough for most work. The tradeoff can be worth it since you can now work from anywhere via laptop and connect to the same machine. No need for multiple setups, most of the machine management is taken care of, upgrades are seamless. For various reasons I haven’t been able to move permanently to a cloud workstation, but TBH I often want to.

Worse when the VPN they also force on you adds 300ms.

All of the big clouds have regions throughout the world so you should be able to find one less than 100ms away fairly easily.

Then realistically in any company you'll need to interact with services and data in one specific location, so maybe it's better to be colocated there instead.

I wonder if everyone on HN has just woken from a 20 year coma.

School shootings are extremely rare. If you want to protect kids you will be much more effective if you work on pedestrian safety, or anything related to driving at all really.

None of what you said is true. The Judicial Committee of the House of Lords was renamed the Supreme Court and moved to a different building (but otherwise essentially unchanged) in 2005 under Tony Blair's Labour government.

No, that's not accurate. The Supreme Court of the UK was established in 2009 so I was off by a year. That would have been under Gordon Brown.

There is a huge difference in the quality of workers in fast food. Some people are slow. They are inefficient. They let things burn, they count change slowly, they are clumsy. They can't multi-task.

It is cognitively simple for you, because you aren't thick. But for people of well-below average intelligence, flipping burgers and doing something else at the time is just not possible.

This is incredibly ignorant. The Church didn't kill anyone for being good at art, and in fact did more for the development of fine art than any other institution in human history.

Looking at religious art and thinking religion destroyed/hampered art is a hot take honestly.

If anything the opposite argument would be that without relgion art has devolved has more merit than this.

As I understand it, being an artist was a trade. If there were no customers asking for pagan art, there would have been no pagan art.

Customers were not allowed to ask for pagan art, on penalty of death for large portions of the time we are talking about.

Owning art that was too lifelike was also a death sentence.

Anything that detracted from the grandour of the church was evidence of satanism. So, if you got a painting that looks better then what's on display in church, you were gonna get executed eventually.

Yes, hence there being a lot of obviously pagan art at the Vatican.

No. IDE-specific ignore lists should go in $CONFIG/git or .git/info/exclude (or whatever the path is).

(git config --global core.excludesfile "$CONFIG/git/ignore")

.gitignore is committed to the repository and should be for files created by the repository that shouldn't appear in 'git status' like build/, etc.

They are safer, more fuel-efficient, less polluting and quieter.

Nobody said it isn't debt. The difference is that it is debt that makes sense: you can't realistically buy land without it, and houses tend to appreciate so the interest costs are less of a problem - they just represent the time value of money.

Most other debts people incur personally are to buy things they could save for, which go down in value. Like cars.

That’s the out. I’ve seen many people explain what their debts are and don’t think of their mortgage as one.
