40k is not a lot. Honestly that sounds like something that should have no consequences.

Dependa how you use it. If it's only for backups then it's fine.

The easiest place to save is in entitlements. Saving there is unfortunately a really good way to avoid reelection. If you want to save money, get a better demography. That's impossible, but not more impossible than cutting benefits.

The only real use-case for IPv6 is self-hosting, and that's just very niche. Other than that the arguments in favor of IPv6 turn to stuff like latency and network complexity. That's not nothing, but it won't make anyone change ISP, and so ISPs don't have to care about it.

From the ISP's POV a complex IPv4 network plus a simple IPv6 network is more work than just having a complex IPv4 network. IPv6 is optional, and IPv4 isn't.

The only way I can imagine IPv6 succeeding is if somehow big websites decide to slow things down for IPv4 users enough that they complain to their ISPs.

I get a feeling that the best way we currently know how to use these tools is to not read their code at all. Models code and models review. Humans just ask questions and guide. Claude Code has no code editor on purpose.

Is this sustainable? I've got no idea.

If there is a will there's a way. LibreOffice can have any feature ypu want if you're willing to pay for it. If you're not willing to pay then it wasn't that important to begin with.

Moving to LibreOffice cannot be a money-saving exercise if it's going to work. It has to be a political priority.

Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. It's just a min-maxing hill-climbing machine.

Or maybe the reason more bribes are paid to the current administration is that the current administration is more receptive to bribes? The ROI on gifts to Trump is probably higher than on gifts to Biden so it makes sense to give more.

There's only so much hydro power to build out, and nuclear takes forever. Solar only works in summer that far north, and without insane batteries wind power just becomes greenwashed natgas.

The new drone companies seem to favor Rust more. Helsing sponsors a lot of Rust conferences and stuff. Quantum Systems has job postings for embedded Rust. For companies that don't have a lot of legacy influencing their decisions, Rust is pretty much always going to be in their software stack. The big primes will probably come around to it in a decade or so.

I like "do, don't show" but I don't think that precludes a thin layer of gameplay over a story. Walking simulators are a prime example. The entire point of a walking simulator is the story, but the game doesn't progress without input from the player, unlike in a cutscene/movie. What Remains of Edith Finch is one of my favorite games, but the gameplay is pretty barebones.

Unfortunately Trump is worse than Musk. And it's Trump who's to blame for the Ukraine speed restrictions.

Population control, preventing overgrazing, stuff like that. However, the Netherlands (unlike most countries) is basically a big farm with practically no wild nature, so humans manage that stuff already. Maybe I'm exaggerating a tad, but I don't get what benefit wolves have in the Netherlands specifically.

Another interesting niche is in between JPEG and RAW. RAW files are a pain to deal with, but editing JPEGs can be problematic due to bit depth and whatnot. Personally I just want to shoot pictures and not edit/convert/whatever, but sometimes I have a shot that could benefit from a bit of adjustment, and that's where even large JPEGs have an issue. Bit depth and whatever isn't suitable.

The issue for me is that RAW sucks, and Jpeg also sucks. Jpegs are standardized and display anywhere, but are also super lossy. RAW, like fish, is not actually a thing beyond a sorta "I know it when I see it" deal. It's non-standard even between camera models from the same manufacturer, and there are like 10 pieces of software that bother with this bullshit and afaik none of them are OSes or browsers.
