IMO, if you are printing PLA, it’s not worth it.

The usefulness increases with the temperature. It dramatically reduced my printer’s consumption when the bed is 95°C, and allowed it to heat up to 115°C without pushing it to its limit (I didn’t try anything further).

I have an adhesive insulator from Aliexpress. It has lasted for a few months without any visible wear, but I can’t say much about its longevity. But given the price, I would be kinda ok with it lasting only a couple of years.

Well, yes, people don’t get colds when the weather is cool. People gets colds when the weather turns cool, or dry, or hot.

When other people fix shit, it’s either expensive or sub-par

It’s usually both, and it usually takes more of your time to arrange things than to fix it.

Stupid people taking that thing seriously is not fault of its creator.

Let me present to you our Lord and Savior, the Penguin…

You can try asking AIs about their usefulness, cost effectiveness, and sustainability. Their answers vary much more than the CEOs’.

It’s not a signal, it’s more of a cause. Things are happening and they didn’t even cause them.

What? That’s a vibes assessment of all the things. Do not go investing based on random internet comments.

Apparently, it has been bursting for a week or so. But if you want to take today as the official date, ok.

The interesting thing is that the US didn’t even raise their interest rates.

Oh, boy. People care! People care!

It’s to be expected that the author blocks anything that can refer to keyword blocking. But “perchance” is as random as the movies community.

The json is also full of inconsistent formatting, what probably means it was all written by hand. The author put a lot of caring into disallowing communication in his communication software.

So… 560 users banned by name (I can’t believe I made into the list!), 2200 username regexes (I wonder how many false positives there are), 98 communities banned by name (a lot of non-radical politics, but stuff like “movies” made into the list too), 33 community regexes (it would be a nice game to make false positives of “^Fuck.*US”), 54 instances, 354 domains, and a “clbuttic” filter with 296 forbiden content regexes.

Does the application actually show any content?

Well, the stuff in my post is obvious enough that you don’t need to actually look for it.

My first experience with Oracle was taking out all the government services from my state because I passed a DBA a script that inserted too much data in a transaction…

Well, an almost invincible guy that had only this one weak spot…

No idea.

Oracle is known to throw millions into lawsuits with no fundaments at all, and I’m not aware of anybody that published a comparison involving their database recently. Those two may be related, or not, IDK.

The usual whataboutism people reply with every time I point this is that Microsoft does the same.

What is correct, Microsoft does the same :)

processing extreme amounts of data at extreme io rates

For anybody trying to take that seriously, keep in mind that the Oracle’s query planner is absolutely shit, the write performance can go to shit depending on the contents of your transactions, any advanced transaction insulation also destroys performance, and single-machine performance is completely shit, the extreme numbers are all on scalability and when compared to other (unpatched on the case of Postgres) ACID databases.

Also, it’s not clear if those claims are still real, because you can only run Oracle databases if you sign a contract saying you won’t compare it to other systems.

That prophecy is not theirs.

Fuck all the players that practice that “jump into the adversary’s knee” move. From Argentina and from the other teams.

They brought the stock because they thought they could sell it for more in a short while.

The next step in that plan was always selling it. Turns out they thought wrong.

(But more precisely on this case, some index funds were buying it with people’s retirement money because they were required to. As soon as they all brought it, there were none any more to buy.)
