Gib probably has a handful of servers scraping, but the place is so small, it almost it eclipses normal traffic

Tiny peninsula; Six datacenters

The geology of the area seems to make for good cooling and DR sturdiness. One DC is even 500 meters under rock.

I'm also quite skeptical of the IP databases ability to get this correct in border regions. All of Gibraltar is, necessarily, near its borders.

Go nad or go home


Underrated


We've never seen randon mutation and selective pressure ever really build anything, only trigger and exploit existing adaptive rulesets... pushed to extremes mutations may often yield a benefit in a narrow situation but at some greater cost, like throwing the backseats out of your car helps you accelerate faster, but reduces the overall utility and flexibility of the use of the vehicle. Im sure if we started honestly looking at organic systems as the product of thought, it would yield a greater understanding of them that we would be able to leverage in industry.


If you're interested in poly phasic sleep, the book "Life Time" by Professor (of circadian neuroscience) Russell Foster goes further.


It doesn't really matter, because their target audience does not care about that.


No true Scotsman.

It’s sad to see this childishness around what should be an important project.


The point being made is if the project and code were important to you, you wouldn’t be judging it based on the founder’s social media habits…just how it runs, and if it continues to do that year after year.

Spoiler, it’s great, and will continue on.


You can't categorically exclude a founder's personality as an indicator of a project's ability to thrive.

All the people basically defending this or saying it's not an issue only makes it worse.

It's a perfect example of the problem: a founder is a leader, and a leader's behavior spreads and can infect the team and community.


Simply name a project that’s failed due to this, or suggest a vector through which it could happen here for the first time.

Being okay with someone being unhinged while defending themselves over and over again hardly seems divisive.

Maybe you can frame your objection better?

Genuine question: are you familiar with the controversy of how Linus Torvalds used to frequently operate at the helm of the Linux kernel fiefdom?


Yes, because such move decreases the target audience accordingly.


And yet, you do the same.


I don't understand what you mean. Did I add rants to GrapheneOS docs?


"This is the one thing we didn't want to happen"


Its a nice start, but there is a certain irritation in that the popup text is directly over the puck. I felt like I was losing more because I couldn't see the puck under the combo counter than anything in the game.


> Fortnite "Usage"

I like this choice of word, it seems fitting.


This is just advocating being lazy in communication. Which is entirely expected and in harmony with our time starved work environments.


So a company decided to send cold outbound to a targeted audience from a dataset they gathered from a public social network... so what?

> "Scandalous behaviour" really? In the same year as the Epstein files?

Wishing a companies total demise over such a trivial matter? Honestly?

All this prissiness about some unwanted emails...


Most startups fail. Some deserve it.
