Friend of mine used to retrofit CNC machines. He's left the business, because the machines that can be serviced moved to poor countries - where customers tend not to pay him at all. The modern influx of CNC have some "intellectual property" protection and cannot be serviced.

well, except for pattern matching. That is just syntax.

Is this data not public for some reason? I think it will not hurt if there are multiple copies spread between public offices and private companies. What really hurts is a private company hammering your webserver for their own profit. They should get their own copy.

Thank you for this long context!

I second that. Loading the pages takes longer before the video starts playing. I also regularly run into bot detection where no video will play at all until I log in.

I switched bank in 2021 and it was hard. No bank advertises "we do compliant chip tan" and no bank advertises "we do not buy an app framework that scans for customs roms".

Switching banks is hard, because all of them suck, are underdocumented and a moving target.

> Dopamine has a half life of 2 minutes in the body.

May be true.

But doing "rewarding" work encourages your body to emit more dopamine. Some people call it "the flow", others "hyperfocus", but it is a constant stream of dopamine that keeps you doing what you currently do. And you can interfere with the emittance and absorbtion by using caffeine.

An ADHD brain may work better without stimulating caffeine, YMMV.

I second this. Clownflare is agressively blocking: Fennec v149.0.2 - Germany

I am guessing: There is an evolutionary "shadow". Genes for getting old and healthy are not selected for, because you get old after having children. Evolution optimizes for the survival of your children.

Might be that cancer hits after creating offspring.

What is the motivation that Rust invented its own RegEx flavor instead of sticking to PCRE or even RE2?

When I shop for special hardware (e.g. bicycle shift gear) it is usually underspecified. If the information does not exist in the text block, a chat bot is of no use.

I would like to second this.

In Golang if you iterate over a thousand files and

    defer File.close()

your OS will run out of file descriptors
