Since it says "Translated by Nancy Qanqar" i'd be willing to bet they're training on some audiobooks with a transcript and somewhere in there it consistently has "Translated by Nancy Qanqar" in the transcript where there is dead air in the audiobook.

I recently went to a gas station where the pump worked right! No affinity cards. No car wash offer. No asking for a ZIP code, since I'd been there before. No screen with ads. Press card against RFID reader, select octane, pump gas.
I went inside and complemented the worker on their pumps being so easy to use. I go back there occasionally, even though the station with the ad screen is cheaper.

Dashes in API keys are really annoying. Double-clicking doesn’t select the full key, which just adds extra hassle. It would be much better if they used a continuous string without any separators. Makes copying and pasting way easier, and doesn't affect security at all.
I really don't care about the aesthetics of a string but this is 100% my issue when interacting with UUIDs.
I imagined that the space stations have the equipment to take all measurements and record evidence so you aren't having to return samples to earth except for a neat souvenir.

Climate obsessed people are probably in it for the right reasons but are hysterically annoying from any third party perspective. Keep telling people that cow burps are what is driving bad weather and you can keep being baffled that "deniers" hate any of the solutions you come up with there after. People hate pollution across the board, people hate theoretical models of climate effects based on research divorced from reality that predict weather in 30 years to be a doomsday scenario because of something so obviously mundane while ignoring outsourcing manufacturing to china and india to bus, boat and flight. At this rate we may one day in our lifetime be able to have all the pigs and cattle raised in china and fly them on business class to europe in order to fight the weather via carbon credits.
boredumb commented on Using Rust in non-Rust servers to improve performance github.com/pretzelhammer/... · Posted by u/amatheus
Rust is simply amazing to do web backend development in. It's the biggest secret in the world right now. It's why people are writing so many different web frameworks and utilities - it's popular, practical, and growing fast.
Writing Rust for web (Actix, Axum) is no different than writing Go, Jetty, Flask, etc. in terms of developer productivity. It's super easy to write server code in Rust.
Unlike writing Python HTTP backends, the Rust code is so much more defect free.
I've absorbed 10,000+ qps on a couple of cheap tiny VPS instances. My server bill is practically non-existent and I'm serving up crazy volumes without effort.
I've been experimenting with using Tide, sqlx and askama and after getting comfortable, it's even more ergonomic for me than using golang and it's template/sql librarys. Having compile time checks on SQL and templates in and of itself is a reason to migrate. I think people have a lot of issues with the life time scoping but for most applications it simply isn't something you are explicitly dealing with every day in the way that rust is often displayed/feared (and once you fully wrap your head around what it's doing it's as simple as most other language aspects).

> very few people get sick from them,
Do you have any source for this statement? If you get stomach infection (like ulcer), there is no investigation of source of bacteria. Every municipality just accepts dog poop as "part of nature". And nations that do not tolerate dogs are healthier.
Toxoplasma can be actually traced to cats, and like 60% of population are infected!
Huge part of population have stomach ulcers and other poop hygiene related diseases with "unknown sources"!
> nations that do not tolerate dogs are healthier
Which nations would that be?

I've used chromecast to power all my "dumb" tvs for years and being able to use my laptop or any phone that's on the wifi has been amazing to avoid using a clunky roko or firetv interface. Sad to see one of the most personally useful pieces of google tech ending.

Many moons ago I wanted to do something similar for AI data sets and models over IPFS. I don't know the future for IPFS but I do hope the essence of a p2p data sharing infrastructure becomes more accessible to help individuals tackle some of the issues with large datasets with less hardware on hand.
