Hindsight sure is sharp

In hindsigth, are there strong reasons why european nato members should have invested significantly more in military, than they did?

This falsely assumes that economic actors necessarily have sound judgment about value

Does this matter in the context of this post? I.e. are GDPs "the sum of shit people pay for" or do they get adjusted for "sound judgment of value"?

I like that they bring up all these informations, just to conclude, that neo-liberalism would be the solution (instead of the problem).

reliably maintaining services

it's funny that you use that as a selling point.

In my experience almost no outage happens because hardware failures. And most outages happen because bad configurations and/or expired certs, which in turn are a symptom of too much complexity.

Allman if the condition is very long

while(isSomething
    && isSomethingElse
    && nFoo < 10)
{
    bla();
    bla();
}

vs

while(isSomething
    && isSomethingElse
    && nFoo < 10) {
    bla();
    bla();
}

Anyway, well worth reading his complete works. Good shit. Grab a copy off me.

There is a torrent for the audiobooks, narrated by Wayne June (the narrator from Darkest Dungeon).

Wayne Junes reading Lovecraft is a match made in heaven. I strongly recommend giving it a try

thanks. I forgot about that. But I'd like to add, that this models kind of feels like "donations with extra steps" to me. i.e. you can get it for free, but you choose to pay the developer even though you have to.

are you saying jokes in the 80s (70s,60s,etc) were better?

evolution could happen in jumps. How often that happens is debatable.

there is plenty open source software, that you can buy. There are many modes:

  • you buy the support (redhead)
  • you buy the long-term-support (ubuntu)
  • you pay for backports to old releases (keycloak iirc)
  • there is a open source version, and you can pay for enterprise features and hosting (gitlab)
  • there is an open source version, and you pay for customization (star office, iirc)

and my personal favorit:

  • you pay a random developer to submit pullrequests for bugs that are relevant to you
