This is it. No algo, no overlords, and no ads. It is what we make it, not what the venture capitalists need it to be.
That's a fast parse! I'm assuming the 4GB is preloaded in RAM before the parse starts? Or the read and parse are parallel.
This is just stupidity. No such thing as a double with no effort. Even bitcoin, because you need diamond hands and a time preference of multiple years, not next month.
🤔 interesting. Maybe toxic maxis, but your average DCA-er living a work-a-day life, probably not. I'll have to think about that more.
Dang! This is a great social commentary! You're totally right too 👌
Got an ironic thing to share with you all:
So, yesterday I wanted to put the laptop to sleep and accidentally hit the reboot option. It started the shutdown process, but I hit esc to stop it. I then proceeded to 'sleep' my laptop like normal.
Ever since, my laptop is blazing fast! 🤣 I accidentally turned off the bloat!
I am always shutting stuff down and restarting processes to keep my PC running well, but nothing was as effective as my accidental and interrupted reboot 🤷♂️
I might have to make this my ongoing routine 🤣
Yeah, that's exactly how I found it. Didn't think to look for its date of post.
Phoenix makes sense. It's a hot place. I bet it's expensive to keep up with that, though.

"Study history, but don't ever pass judgement over a moral decision!"
We study history so we can make observations and learn from it, especially moral lessons.
Rewriting history would be denying facts. That's literally the opposite of what I'm doing.
Both bombings are condemnable, regardless of the timing of surrender
Hindsight is 2020. This isn't rewriting history but learning from it so we don't commit the same crimes and avoid the evils of the past.
We needed to respond, but we also needed to have avoided evil acts, and attacking innocents is one of the worst crimes. If we instead attacked a military compound, the blood of the innocents would be on the hands of the Japanese military because they put them in harm's way.
No creation needed. The plain fact is that two cities with all their innocents were attacked. Evil is not resolved by more evil. A military base or the emperor's palace should have been the target, not innocents. Even the emperor's palace would be really iffy.
The issue is not whether we needed to respond militarily (whether surrender was given) but the manner and method of our response. That doesn't need a citation.
The US military ought to have chosen non-innocent targets, such as a Japanese military base. At that point it would be on the Japanese for the innocent lives lost (civilians shouldn't be mingled in an encampment). Instead, we chose two cities where innocents made their lives. "Getting the message across" might have taken three, or four, but that is better than committing an evil of our own. The proper response to evil is never more evil.
Certainly, if that was the whole story, yes. We can say that the Japanese state and military were far from peaceful while still condemning making an entire city including women and children a target. It's not a white washing of the Japanese but enough self-awareness to know when we've committed evil regardless of the instigation.
Most definitely. Japan needed to get a return for their deeds at Pearl Harbor, but innocent lives must never become the targets of retaliatiory violence.
If any use of such a bomb could be considered just, it would require extreme precision and a very hard and certainly non-innocent target, which a city with residents is most certainly not.
