Sounds like you agree with TFA:

> “Nobody was asking for the screen to be bigger. Nobody was asking for more production, more lasers. Literally, the number one complaint every year was, ‘Hey, you guys are overselling these shows, we want more room to dance.’”


I went to a show at Fabric in London during Kubecon last spring and they did the same thing. I still saw the odd person who peeled it off taking selfies or pics of friends inside but that was definitely the exception.

Perhaps it can be enforced with a type of laser that doesn’t damage the human eye but completely obliterates a phone camera. As long as you keep the sticker on nothing happens to your phone.

I've seen this in Asia, there's an employee who basically is standing at a raised spot in the corner and if you take out your phone they shoot a small laser pointer right into the camera, it messes with the video. They can't get it on there all the time but a video where half of it (or more they are surprisingly accurate) is a strobing laser becomes pretty garbage anyways. While they are doing that another employee/bouncer comes over and warns them, have seen people get kicked out for pulling it out a second time.

This sounds like a job I would love.

"I've seen this on planet earth"

Afghanistan? China? Tonga?


True, it wasn't very specific, but I think we can rule out Afghanistan where music and dancing are illegal.. I haven't been to Tonga, seems possible that there might a little nightlife in Nukuʻalofa but probably not laser-wielding security, so that narrows it down a little.

Do you actually think Tonga is in Asia?

I think Lidar on cars can damage cameras: https://www.heise.de/en/news/Autonomous-driving-Lidar-can-se...

But it's probably a nightmare from the liability perspective.

If we are asking for impossible things why make it so scifi coded? I would much prefer cute bunny unicorns who suddenly grow fangs and bite people who are taking pictures. They are both equaly realistic but the bunny unicorns are nicer to think of.


Certain kinds of lidar do damage phone cameras https://www.jalopnik.com/1866994/lidar-permanently-damage-ph...

Of course. There is no doubt that you can shoot cameras out. That's not the problem. The problem is if you try to scale that effect up to the size of a club what you have won't be eye safe. There is not enough margin between "safe for human eyes" and "destroys cameras" to construct a practical system. Especially not to the safety requirements of an entertainment venue.

Had to enable reader mode to get past this weird limitation.

As an infra person I couldn't agree more. Get an expert in there. DB's are their own universe of complexity and deserve dedicated attention.

Baffling piece of software. It's a task manager and every time I use it I flail around for ages trying to figure out how to mark a task completed. No idea why people like it.

Because the customers are hordes of PMs and other types who can use as tool to be taskmaster over hordes of developers.

It's Amazon warehouse worker tracking software for developers and thus we hate it.


Thank you for being the first person in this discussion to explain wtf this is.


One problem with using containers as an isolation environment for a coding assistant is that it becomes challenging to have the agent work on a containerized project. You often need some janky "docker-in-docker" nonsense that hampers efforts.


I like using LXC containers, eg full persistent OS and you can do docker if you want etc. I started this and it works well for me to put on a server or VPS:

I was planning to have worktrees bind mounted systematically, but agree it’s not super clean atm at scale (yet)

whatever


><obscure set of random words>

"language server" is probably not particularly obscure (or random) to the audience of people who know what "mecrisp-stellaris" is (i.e. the audience of the post).

i actually doubt "language server" is obscure to pretty much anyone who has done any programming recently.


"rip it out" is a phrase I've been saying more often to the robots.
