I have my doubts that a company would be able to just abandon a live and operational nuclear power plant. I'm no nuclear or power engineer, but I am familiar with data center power consumption. There are companies in the region that would absolutely build more data centers, but are power constrained from the utility companies in the area, that are not just for AI, but for general compute. Even then, it's low carbon production energy. If you have a ton of excess power, just start forcing high carbon production facilities in the area to close and now you've greened the grid.

While I'm not a fan of the loan nor the massive waste of power most LLMs are, I actually think that's its a good thing because if Microsoft can break through some of the excessive red tape on nuclear plants then they'll bring this online and hopefully prove that nuclear power can be safe and a good source of large amounts of power, when the huge demand for AI dies down, then maybe they'll keep the plant around and provide power to the grid.

Kind of but it's not fair to put it all on the manager. Multiple people decided to hire the person. Somebody else approved that code review. People approved the technical design. Why didn't the tech lead raise concerns with the manager about someone's under-performance, etc. it's unfair to just put all blame on the manager.

The idea of extreme ownership is about not saying "not my problem I won't do anything" or blaming your reports. It's about saying I can and should do anything and everything in my ability to fix problems.

But then you've got cities like Morro Bay, CA that are trying to stop a plan to replace a coal plant with a battery storage facility because batteries are supposedly dangerous.

Then good luck getting a house mortgage because you can't lend based on future income because it's not guaranteed. When I bought my house they incorporated the value of my brokerage account. I wouldn't be able to own a place if they didn't.

With house mortgages it's collateralized against the house, a physical object, but it has only a fake value until it's actually sold because house prices can go up or down.

This is my biggest challenge with this extension. What's clickbait to one person is not to another. Several times I've come across titles that get mangled when rewritten to lose key points. Or the image gets replaced with a random screen grab. There's a difference between somebody doing the YouTube face and a title with "the craziest stunt you've ever seen" and an artist photo with a title saying the "a crazy stunt jump through a burning hoop". I'm okay with the latter but dearrow will often remove crazy. The is just an contrived example

One person could still say "crazy" makes it clickbait, but having some adjectives are fine

If you are port forwarding. I recommend not exposing it on the default port of 25565 and instead expose it as a random port. Then, assuming you have a domain name, create an SRV record that points to your IP and port. This will cut down on the drive by scanners who scan by ports, but won't totally eliminate it. If you do use the SRV record, your friends won't even notice there's a different port.

Ah yeah. Mono didn't support WPF, but Mono did support running WinForms apps natively on Linux without using Wine.

.net core is the future but Mono is still important for running legacy .net framework applications like ones that use WinForms or WPF. That's pretty much it. Anything new should go straight to .net core.

As a professional software dev, I worked with pretty much every OS daily. My personal computer was a Windows, my work laptop was a Mac, and I ran my code on Linux so I was familiar with the things I liked and disliked about each. I also ran my own set of server with my websites, mail servers, and various research projects to learn and grow.

Then I decided it was time to order a new laptop and I didn't want to go to Windows 11 because I felt Microsoft was going too much into features I didn't want like Ads, more tracking, pushing AI. Don't get me wrong, I like AI, but it was too much about forcing me to use it to justify their stock valuations.

I also was working on reducing my usage of big tech, setting up self hosted services like pi-hole, Home Assistant, starting to work my own Mint alternative. It just felt natural to get a Framework laptop and try running Linux on it.

I still have a Windows desktop for games and other things, I still use Mac at work. I still like the Mac for it's power efficiency and it doesn't get as hot. Linux has some annoyances here and there, like dbus locking up, or weird GNOME issues, or for a while my screen would artifact until set some kernel params, or the fact that my wifi card would crash and I had to replace it with an Intel card, but I'll stick with it.

I actually have a double sided male A cable. I was shocked when I got it but I have this laptop cooler that has two A ports on it, presumably to allow a pass through but I'm always nervous that I'll plug it in and fry something.

There's two main ways of doing geo-based load balancing:

1. IP Any-casting - In this case, an IP address is "homed" in multiple spots and through the magic of IP routing, it arrives at the nearest location. This is exactly how 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 work. It works fine for stateless packets like DNS, however it has some risks for stateful traffic like HTTP.
2. DNS based load balancing. A server receives a request for "google.com", looks at the IP of the DNS server and/or the EDNS Client IP in the DNS query packet and returns an IP that's near. The problem is that when you're doing Wireguard, it goes phone -> pi-hole (source IP is some internal IP) -> the next hop (e.g. 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8), which sees the packet is coming from your home/pi-hole's public IP. Thus it gets confused and thinks you're in a different location than you really are. Neither of these hops really knows your true location of your phone/mobile device.

Of course, this doesn't matter for companies that only have one data center.
