I lived through it.

In this thread, many people making judgements based on incorrect facts and ignoring that New Zealand’s biggest city had about a years worth of strict lockdown over the 2 year period from 2020-2021. In this thread you’ll also find New Zealanders from outside of Auckland commenting about their personal experience on behalf of everyone from the country.

Massive mental health impacts for one. Did you live in Auckland throughout COVID? If not then I don’t think you can comment on this.

You clearly do not live in Auckland then. The person you’re replying to is not incorrect, you were just fortunate to live in another part of the country.

The “one town” you’re referring to is Auckland, NZ’s economic center and has a third of the country’s population.

Whenever I talk about COVID lockdown with NZers from outside of Auckland they play it down because there was only a few weeks of strict lockdown at the start. However, anyone that lived in the Auckland region can tell you that the lockdowns were long, tough and plentiful. People in Auckland were still stuck in their homes celebrating birthdays alone late 2021. Eventually the government gave up when the Omicron variant exploded and a majority had been vaccinated.

I think this app is a poop tracker. Tick the days your poops take an extra flush, and then also the days you get a clean release. That should help you track your bowel movements effectively. You’re welcome.

Passkeys aren’t a full replacement in my opinion, which is what DHH gets wrong. It’s a secure, user-friendly alternative to password+MFA. If the device doesn’t have a passkey set up you revert to password+MFA.

It uses asymmetric cryptography. You sign a login request with the locally stored private key and the service verifies the signature with their stored public key. The PIN on your device is used to unlock access to the private key to sign the login request.

Not as bad from my perception. Though I’m not arguing in favour of cars. I just think mopeds are a strange mobility option to adore. Good public transportation + cycling infrastructure is much more adorable. In the Netherlands, the mopeds are a menace to the safety, quiet, and air quality in cities.

As you point out, they’re not the solution either.

Yeah I love the smell and sound of a million mopeds. Taiwan is known for its urban serenity.

“Security theatre” is what I’ve named the contact in my work phone for the call center I have to call every time I accidentally use the “one time password” more than once (because god forbid they implement proper SSO, meaning I have to do a shotgun login run every morning). When I call them all I tell them is my name and that my account is locked.They click a button and we’re back. Complete waste of time on everyone’s part.

Abstractions aren’t concrete and all of these standards you’re referring to are concrete data serialisations. You may be interested in CUE which captures this concept in its design.

You’re doing it right by avoiding as much of Gitlab’s CI features. I’ve seen versions where scripts are inlined in the YAML with expressions in random rule fields and pipeline variables thrown all over the place. And don’t get me started on their “includes” keyword, it’s awful in practice, gives me nightmares.

Then I write a Kubernetes manifest in YAML with JSON schema validation and the heart rate goes down again.

I agree. You can’t just dismiss the problem saying it’s “just data represented in vector space” and on the other hand not be able properly censor the models and require AI safety research. If you don’t know exactly what’s going on inside, you also can’t claim that copyright is not being violated.

Someone should produce two identically named films in the same year and watch IMdB burn while they try to disambiguate them.

I think that’s just the JPEG compression destroying all detail, so in that lighting now they just look like orange polygons.

I agree, though he is still a great director that makes great movies.
