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.

Odd choice to pick an example with frequent crowd crushes.

Oh man, Medium sucks so much.

You can run so many cancelled trains on that bad boy

I used to have Netflix until I moved country and they blocked me out of my own account. Fuck them, cancelled. To the seas with their content.
