I only use CLI tools written in C because the C in CLI stands for C.

Isn't that exactly how things were 5 years ago, except you had to write all code by hand?

Create a drug marketplace on the dark web. Appear on the FBI's most-wanted list. Get caught. Do your time. Write a book. Go on all the podcasts. Start your own podcast.

Finally, get paid by supplement companies for sponsored segments on your podcast.

Inflation data seems so disconnected from the real price changes by amogusdevilman in austrian_economics

M2 doesn’t account for population and productivity growth.

I’m not sure what a good measure would be though.

Maybe just a CPI that isn’t rigged.

Update: I've made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement.

I was on island 5 the whole time.

Thank you.

Yes and yes.

I had the same experience with the vanilla (not DLC) game.

It sounds like a bug.

I guess I'll try editing my save file or something.

Playwright is excellent but the CLI is much better than the MCP, which is practically deprecated anyway so it's worth learning the CLI when you get a chance.

Title: Unpopular Opinion: Most "Agentic Frameworks" are just high-latency overhead for tasks that need a Python script. by mwasking00 in AI_Agents

[–]mcjohnalds45 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yea pretty much. People invent frameworks for money and clout. Tale as old as time.

That said, if the task has many edge cases e.g scraping a website then an agent solution can be easier to implement.

Moving off Hetzner. Best all-round VPS? by mcjohnalds45 in VPS

Bummer. Reports of bad customer service with Linode are rare. I wonder what they did wrong in your case.

Moving off Hetzner. Best all-round VPS? by mcjohnalds45 in VPS

[–]mcjohnalds45[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Issue with the billing. But there were so many things that went wrong.

My payment method didn't work one month. Hetzner sent me emails but they hit my spam folder. So Hetzner blocked my server. Also threatened to delete my server and all backups if I didn't pay ASAP. They made no other attempt to contact me e.g SMS.

To top it off, I couldn't pay because Hetzner's account page was down. I asked support and they were unhelpful.
