I'm sorry but I lived in France and this didn't happen. We had to pay for the food (~3€), and if you didn't had the money (basically because of low resources), then it was free. People that could pay payed, and people that couldn't didn't.
It’s not like that for most kids. Juvenile records are sealed or expunged which means they wouldn’t show up in an adult background check. There’s probably some unusual circumstance involved here or he lived somewhere where you have to ask the court to seal the record and didn’t.
I miss LAN parties... I miss the custom cases, the fancy drawings, the spilled sugary drinks that stuck to the table, and the open shares where you would copy the whole `Movies` folder on a 100Mbits connection..
I modded my case of course, and it was crappy. I'd integrated a glass window on the side, so people could (would!) look at my custom water cooling setup. And of course, the glass (held by hot glue), would fall down at the most unfortunate time. Great memories!
I never understood the appeal of all the gaudy gamer PC aesthetics, just as a piece of furniture you keep at home it looks ridiculous.
But thinking of it in the context of lugging your PC to a LAN party, now I'm picturing a fork of Fast and Furious but instead of all the tricked out cars revving their engines with their hoods popped, its a row of gamer PCs running DirectX benchmarks, and the length people go to make an original piece of art out of their motherboard suddenly make sense.
I feel bad that I feel this way but I really dislike them, but I can't believe those gamer chairs became the mainstream chair to see over the last few years. A few years ago they would get clowned, then it was less, and less, but it is cool that we're being more inclusive about chair themes.
I know it was twitch and them giving free chairs away to get more people to buy them. Great marketing.
I'm in my 30s, and somehow people think it's a miracle I don't have bad back problems after sitting at least 6 hours a day in front of the computer, while the only miracle performed is me going to a store to get a personalized recommendation based on how I like to sit, and invest hard in getting a proper chair.
First thing I ask when people complain about bad backs, is what chair they use. Often they've just grabbed some chair after going window shopping, instead of aiming for personalized recommendations from a professional. Often, they're using these shitty "gaming" chairs. Sometimes though, they've just read a bunch of the internet about how good Aeron chairs are, so they bought those, not understanding not every chair fits every sitting style...

I don’t get it either but I appreciate that we are not all the same. I enjoyed marvelling at someone bringing a huge rig, oversized ultra wide screen monitor and loud custom keyboard + LED headphones that resembled a light show.
Sad that the article is not talking about bacteriophages[1]. Basically viruses that infect other bacteria. The world is full of them (and even virophages: viruses that infect other viruses). The soviet union started experimenting them, and they seem to be used to treat hard-to-cure infections like Staphylococcus aureus, but I guess it died down somehow?
I've heard that for stubborn cases it works really well. It's true it does not lend itself to mass manufacture the way antibiotics do but I believe, a typical lab with the right knowledge/equipment/resources should be able to do it. I saw a documentary a long time back where they do it Georgia, not sure how legit it is.
It lives on everywhere! Lots of labs working on it in the US, we started a clinical trial in Australia called Phage Australia.
As the other post says, it's effective but cost prohibitive at scale, and biologics are a pain. It'll get here, but we need way better tools to lower the costs.
Dumb question, but how do you use SQLite on kubernetes? Indeed SQLite doesn't work over NFS (and I guess other remote file shares) so how do you share access to it to other pods?
Without an additional layer you will have to be happy with a single vertically scaled instance of your application. If you want to resort to horizontal scaling, you can look into something like LiteFS
