That’s just a side effect and what keeps the ball rolling. The entire point is that they give Israel money and the Israelis turn around and spend it on American “defense” contractors. It’s a round about subsidy for American industry with the bonus that they get a lackey in the middle east.

I used to get EVGA bstock which was reasonable but they got out of the business 😞

I swapped to AMD this generation and it’s still expensive.

I mean if you were hoping for some gotcha on them being hypocrites you should know by now that they don’t care and neither do their supporters.

Yeah yeah I’m sure they will do all sorts of gasping and then confirm him anyway. Despite what they say the lot of them are just Trump sycophants at this point.

I’ve been saying this. I’m curious to see who wins out. In this case it’s populist bullshit vs American coffee retailers. Let’s see who comes out on top.

uv is good but it needs a little more time in the oven.

For the moment I would definitely recommend poetry if you are not a library developer. Poetry’s biggest sin is it’s atrocious performance but it has most of the features you need to work with Python apps today.

Part of that joke though is that they’re both exactly the same which is of course a false premise.

People who have fallen for one grift are prone to falling for others.

Tossed it in the microwave and here we are

Fair enough it was a 2.5 nvme but 8tb m2 2280 disks have been on the market for literal years. You could get them in PCIe gen 3 …

The reason it costs so much is because the chip industry is limiting supply again again to drive prices up after a few years of over producing. Not because there is something fancy in this drive.

This isn’t bleeding edge at all. Just put a 15tb drive in a machine the other day and they are a couple years old at this point.

You know I’ve not seen a bonzibuddy in a long long time.

For reference Bing chat is still confidently sure there are 2

Ask an LLM how many Rs there are in strawberry

Maybe check out Kagi’s ultimate tier. They let you swap between some of the different options to see which you might find useful. As a bonus you also get kagi search which can be useful.

So… Just another Tuesday for consulting then?

They can be tracked back one by one but if you have any amount of traffic it’s a constant game of cat and mouse.

You can block entire ASNs until they start using residential proxies provided by less ethical companies. Then you end up blocking all of France or destroying user experience by enforcing a captcha on everyone.

The type of request is not relevant. It’s the cost of the request that’s an issue. We have long ago stopped serving html documents that are static and can be cached. Tons of requests can trigger complex searches or computations which are expensive server side. This type of behavior basically ruins the internet and pushes everything into closed gardens and behind logins.

Be the change you want to see!

Anyway those are probably the lowest effort content which is why you see it most. Over time though the other forms will come. Most of Reddits front-page is memes and news for the same reason.
