I hope this makes the US revisit the concept of building something like the SSC. Competition in science is awesome.

Same as any FF or chromium fork. The further away from the original you are, the longer security and performance updates will take to trickle down.

No. They likely don’t have the manpower to update it. It is run by students, after all.

To be fair, all the FF engineers probably dgaf about a platform where they don’t even have the freedom to use their own browser engine.

Floorp is great. It has so many features that make it better than stock FF.

That’s why earthly exists. Now you can run your pipeline on a container with a “familiar syntax” inside another container with a “familiar syntax” inside of a “reproducible, easy-to-use” VM provisioned on top of probably KVM, as Torvalds intended

FWIW, gitlab-runner exec and earthly exist for running tests locally, with others things like nektos/act for GHA as a 3rd party solution. I’ll never get used to yaml, though, all my pipelines are mostly shell scripts. Using a markup language as a programming language was definitely one of the decisions of all time.

In the back of my mind I know this is there, but the cat | grep pattern is just muscle memory at this point

Part of your credit score is also the present. It’s more than a bit predatory, but not having any current financial responsibilities looks bad. For example, if you have no loans whatsoever but paid back a bunch in the past, there’s little evidence saying you can currently pay them off. At least, that’s the theory of it.

I feel guilty even owning a house because it’s gotten so bad

It’s not like prices are going to rise forever. Market cycles are natural. There will be a crash, and there will be cheaper homes once again, and as long as the government is competent, random businesses won’t buy them all with the intent to rent them out to potential homeowners.

For the opponents, what is the proposed alternative?

I’d imagine this is the crux of the problem. Banks need some way to determine if someone will pay back their loans, and what better way than to tabulate their history of doing just that? Should banks be willing to take risks in a system with stuff like the 7 year rule?
