Indeed, am I talking to a person or to a proxy-prompt?

Your ISP will route your packets and not obfuscate the original destination nor cache any content, provide Ddos protections, WAF,...

Cloudflare does.

I hope that train rides get more and more popular and especially cheaper.

At the moment I am looking at a 10 hour car-trip to the mountains in Switzerland. The train trip would be the same. The only sad part about it is that it would cost me and my family around 900 Euro's. If we would calculate the car trip it would be around 242 Euro.

In the train I can read, chill, watch out the window, play board games with my children,...

In the car I need to pay attention to the road, my children are hooked to a tablet or annoyed and bored.

But to go to the UK with the train it is a no-brainer. 2 hour trip to arrive in the middle of London, Paris, Amsterdam,... for 200 Euro's for the whole family.

It really impacts our choice of vacations.

Once a month you embark on a 10 hour drive to spend a weekend skiing/boating and then returning with another 10 hour drive?

So for 2 days of doing such activity you'll spent 20 hours in a car?

It also just doesn't make sense. Like, we train a human and that takes 20 years of food.

To train an LLM it needed a collection of 800TiB of data (The Pile). To generate that pile, you needed millions to billions of humans. So did training the LLM now suddenly take 20.000.000 billion years of food or are we not allowed to make the same shitty comparison.

Why not educate us oh wise one?

Are you saying that two audio files each watermarked for a specific different user will not show a difference? Because then I am genuinely interested in how they achieved that feat

Most access blocking is through ISP DNS servers. Just set your DNS to an open one, no need for a VPN.

And I love that requirement. I do banking on my desktop and to confirm the transfers I get a push notification from a third-party application (ItsMe, so not a banking mobile app) with all the information I have entered.

I can confirm the transaction from a complete separate device while doing a second check if all details are correct.

We have multiple separate environments per application. For environment specific inputs we use variables.

The distinction is very clear in our team. Locals are used as const (like an application name), variables are for more dynamic user/environment inputs and data is to fetch dynamic information from other resources.

Zero problems. If a local becomes more environment specific a quick refactor fixes that. You can also have locals that use variable or data values if necessary.

One big win we also have is that we stopped using modules except for one big main module. We noticed from previous projects that as soon as we implemented modules everything became a big problem. Modules that are version pinned still required a lot of maintenance to upgrade. Modules that weren't version pinned caused more destruction than we planned. Modules outputs and inputs caused a lot of cycle problems,... Modules always seem too deep or too shallow.

Same, locals are in my head like consts. You define it and it stays that way. A shortcut for a repeated value.

Data resources are you requesting a dynamic value of your environment.

Variables are dynamic values that a user can change.

People are sticking to Chrome and clones as they got an advertising budget that is higher than the whole Mozilla foundation cash flow and are installed as default browser on the OS.

Combine that with aggressive approaches that try to persuade users from switching when trying to change the default browser on an OS.

The features most people on HN are complaining about are very gimmicky and not even widely used in the developer market.
