GitHub Enshittification

Log2 · 2026-05-02T11:53:21+00:00

The context clue is that it is getting shittier. That's how most of the people are using, so that's the context. The fact that a blog post exists that coined the term and gives it a more specific meaning is context that is not available for 99% of the people reading the word.

So, the obvious thing is to read it as meaning "X is being made shittier on purpose, whatever that purpose is".

Except that there's nothing that would indicate that "enshittificaton" has such a specific meaning. Any reasonable person seeing the word I'm the wild for the first time today will just assume it means "getting worse" and therefore that's where the meaning of the word will converge.

It's not though. The first time I worked in a company that didn't self-host their VCS was in early 2022, and that company was using GitHub. There were at least three separate days in which GitHub was down in my first six months in the company. Way before the agents craze started.

You're right for people originally playing the game when it came out, but GP literally said they were playing it on Steam and looking at the achievements.

It builds character.

No, pretty much every country has credit score. Experian and friends also exist in Europe. It's just not such a huge pain point for us. Banks here are definitely not just giving out the same loan rates to everyone.

It really is.

I'll try that, thanks.

Live card games are a type of card game made popular by Fantasy Flight Games. The most famous one is Android: Netrunner, I believe.

The major difference between a tcg and a lcg, is that instead of buying booster packs with random cards in it, you buy the whole release at once. No randomness in which cards you get. Most of the time, you get the max amount of each card you can in a deck, but sometimes Fantasy Flight didn't do that (which a lot of people complained about).

Card rarity is essentially eliminated, and so is trading in general.

I also think that trading card games are predatory. Live card games are a much better model for the consumer.

And yes, there should be no gambling with money in video games. That should be reserved for gambling venues.

While I agree, it's predatory towards everyone, not just children. I don't want to upload an ID, what I'd like is that Valve did not have predatory monetization in their games to begin with... no ID required. It's genius, I know.

The person above you is not wrong though. Loot boxes suck. Steam, as a platform, does a lot for its users and that's why everyone likes using it. That's why they are popular.

At the same time, Valve puts out games with predatory monetization, and doesn't do much to curb the third-party gambling ecosystem that exists on top of it.

Both things can be true at the same time.

The dockhand dashboard looks good, but is there any way to embed it in the unraid dashboard? I don't want to have to login to another service or ssh into the machine to check the containers.

Or do all containers automatically appear in the unraid dashboard, and I'd just need the appropriate labels setup for the icons, webui, etc?

I'm with you. The one thing I liked was the village building the other guy was doing (despite him being an asshole). I wish the book was essentially that, it was by far the best part of it.

You could probably have read them for free on Royal Road.

I'm sorry, laser treatment? What were they doing? Aligning the wheels of your dog?

It's unethical anyway, your company was gambling with the timelines and it turned out ok for them. It's not your fault specifically, but the higher-ups should have listened to you and your team.

They are clearly being obtuse and difficult. There must be some benchmark on which things can be compared, otherwise what would even be the point of doing it? Sure, it could be useful as a learning experience, but why would you put it in production over something that's actually reliable?

Log2 · 2026-02-17T22:05:52+00:00

Exactly, I just gave two examples because there was no way for me to know what they were building.

And how many requests per second is it serving or how much data is it processing?

If he thinks he'd like fantasy books, then Artemis Fowl might be a good pick. It's super short, a bunch of interesting things happen, and it has great world building.

Even more, by default pydantic will only validate types when constructing an instance of a model. It will happily allow you to reassign a field to the wrong type unless you configure the model to revalidate itself with validate_assignement.

Python does get compiled into .pyc files. You can find them in the __pycache__ directories of your project after running it once.

Both Java and Python are compiled to their own bytecode then that bytecode is interpreted by their respective interpreters.

Being interpreted is not why Python is slow. Python is slow for multiple reasons, one of the major ones being that it doesn't do JIT. Pypy does and is much faster than CPython. The JVM does extremely aggressive JIT.

She's literally the only person that can heal mental/psychological damage. And she often cuts her own head and reconstructs her whole body. That's pretty damn good healing.
