When empires collapse, it's usually not caused by a foreign power, but by negligence and corruption from within

What was the desire? Since the desire was a moving, ever changing, target it seems the force was primarily about showing force. Kind of meaningless.

Indeed, power is about convincing others fear your force. Using force is, in a sense, admitting a lack of power.

Yeah! Browsing through the screenshots truly feels like watching vintage porn.

The Iran regime was obviously going to be a push over.

Not the first forever war initiated as a Blitzkrieg. Not the last either.

> "Audio modality is really challenging to comprehend because of how limited our hearing is"

Would it help to significantly lower the hearing capabilities of the AI system? At Juvoly, we always encouraged GPs to invest in high quality microphone like Jabra Speak, connected through USB. A good mic results in much better audio transcriptions, but maybe that was all for the wrong reasons?

You're right about SVN's guts vs Git. I should have been clearer that I was referring to the client cli only.

Mercurial wasn't as simple as Subversion. But with hg I still felt like understanding 80% of what the tool had to offer and actually being able to mold the timeline the way I wanted.

Git has so many gotchas, bells and whistles that whenever I'm doing something out of the ordinary I'm wondering if there isn't an easier / canonical / smarter way I should be doing it.

So true.

I can only think of hobby projects, like writing yet another emulator, expression parser or media processor in a new language I'm trying to master.

In a professional setting, you would always diligently explore libraries and only implement your own if there is no suitable alternative.

Does your apple laptop run Linux or MacOS? Do you run Kubernetes locally or only when network permits? What was the reason for targeting Linux rather than MacOS? And what in this context is the value add of using Kubernetes for your development?

Never understood the appeal of Kubernetes to developers, outside of a massive deployments. Always felt like a poor man's Linux for those that insist on using apple or windows desktop.
