Back in the day, you scanned the disk. Folder by folder, file by file. If what you were looking for appeared early in your search, you were golden. It turns out, though, that scanning a filesystem is computationally very complex and takes a long time. Not something you might notice so much on a PC, but something that you would notice on a server. So, instead, you want to index the disk, slowly and over time, and then you search against the index. This works well in a server, but no so much on a workstation. Well there’s really no difference between Windows 11 and Windows Server 2024 except for some fine tuning of resource allocation. Essentially, you get the very (for desktops) ineffective server version.

This is me. Grad school was about interest not work.

Guess we’ll cut food stamps but tell people who can afford to to get a watch

Helpful to know that the country was markedly different before and after each of these events. Think of things before and after WWII, for instance. We will experience similar over the next 20 - 40 years.

Get a metal colander.

One of the biggest bits of propaganda of all time.

Hello fellow Knight (in someone’s service)

I work for an R1 university and have had multiple siblings gleefully claim that where I work is a cult that needs to be shut down. They don’t even have enough empathy to wish me well in my life.

This specific court most certainly has very special processes and procedures that other courts don’t follow.

Basically a bunch of rich dudes with land who knew how to read Greek and Latin and were steeped in the philosophy of the time had stars in their eyes and believed that they could come up with something that would work specifically based on the good will and good faith of all the actors involved. They were very naive about human nature and did not put in any real protections against bad actors.

Before he was more widely known for his shenanigans.

Don’t extrapolate because if one bad actor. Would you stop funding the ACLU if this story happened there?

Because privatizing public services just breaks the service while lining pockets. It’s why the rivers in the UK are too dangerous to swim in due to bacteria’s from sewage discharges after the water and treatment systems were privatized under Thatcher.

Can’t the conversation be on volume levels? You can say that you find it distracting and difficult to enjoy your own activities.

I click the random button several times and move on with my life.

Yes. They are. It’s just invisible to you
