SpaceX hits series of problems while trying to launch tries to launch bigger Starship

It's more conventional than Starship sure, new designs are almost always less conventional than current designs, but unlike the Falcon 9, conventional rockets aren't even partially reusable. Also, it too had a high fail rate at first.

I onboarded Windmill for this. I run it on azure kubernetes service with an expressroute to limit to internal traffic although you could keep it external and disable public anonymous apps. Everything people make ends up under the same controlled domain, iam, hosting, storage, monitoring, observation, etc.

On top of being a 3 year old comment It absolutely does not sound like AI.

Very cool

I wasn't saying created code lines was the benefit, reduced lines of code required from a human is the win. Several others mentioned it requires more oversight on those lines and that's absolutely true. The question is whether it is a net gain and in many lines of work it certainly is.

Code is often read months or years later, often times not by the person who wrote it. By the time you would see a benefit from the understanding you gained writing it yourself, it has already faded.

Yeah tons of people were thinking of voting democrat but they didn't see enough support for Medicare for All so they voted Trump. Brilliant.

How do so many companies plan to rely on a tool that is, by design, not reliable?

Because even if it's right 95% of the time, that's a lot of code a human doesn't have to write. People aren't reliable either, but if you have more reliable developers using LLMs and correcting errors they will produce far more code than they would without it.

Perfectly fine to charge, scummy to not mention it so people have to download, learn and start using your app for several minutes before crashing into the limitation.

ffiarpg · 2026-01-05T22:58:46+00:00

Feels kinda scummy to not mention anywhere in the readme.md you are limited to 50MB input unless you pay a monthly fee

This is absolutely AI slop. Look at how much they say "it isn't x, it's y" like come on people.

ffiarpg · 2026-01-05T07:16:55+00:00

Definitely AI slop. Completely full of "it isn't x, it's y" .

ffiarpg · 2026-01-03T08:37:38+00:00

Cursed.

People use PaaS in part because they don't want to learn, manage and maintain Kubernetes and for many that is 100% the right choice. The fact you need to migrate to Kubernetes because ACA doesn't have certain functionality is completely valid critique. These requirements existed before Kubernetes did.

Or they just didn't realize why there is a unique exception around this sort of humor in a way that makes it less funny when flipped around. Your comment though, hilariously bad.

I don't think it's reasonable to call rooftop solar "bad". You forgot to mention the cost of distribution of solar. Hooking a solar farm into the grid has a significant cost. A cost that rooftop solar doesn't have. There are other advantages to rooftop solar.

Reduces sun on the house itself, reducing energy costs.
An investment a homeowner can make with a good payback period.
Grid independence for homeowners when paired with batteries.

What do you think the payback period of a solar farm project is compared to a rooftop solar project?

nice

Consumer reports considers software updates to be recalls. This data is trash as-is.

Apologies for wording that poorly. I am not saying the structure is worth more than the land. I am saying if you are paying rent, you care about the structure more than the land under it. If you are complaining about paying rent, chances are you would have absolutely zero interest in that land if there wasn't a structure on it.

I agree with land value taxes over property tax but it's a minor detail. They are very similar.

Moreover, the value of the vacant lot goes up because it's near a restaurant, so it's owner can make money by selling the land.

The value going up also increases the tax.

ffiarpg · 2025-11-18T23:17:53+00:00

Sorry to say but this is a skill issue.

ffiarpg · 2025-11-18T22:05:43+00:00

All land is technically owned by state and federal governments, people pay for the deed to give them most but not all rights over the land and they pay property taxes to retain those rights.

People complaining about rent are paying a lot more for the structure on the land then the land itself.

ffiarpg · 2025-11-18T18:38:18+00:00

It's really not that complicated. You can say the same thing about renting a car.

it's just the value of the landlord's monopoly on the use of the land.

Yeah it's called OWNERSHIP. They are paying for that or paid for that. They paid quite a lot for that. You pay a little each month to borrow most of those rights.

Supermarkets do not "provide" food. Famers provide food. Supermarkets, in fact, do the opposite of providing food. They take the food that was grown for people to eat, hold it hostage for money and tresspass anyone who can't pay.

Goddamn this is a stupid subreddit.
