"Do your own research" is counter productive when you don't know how to research...

Scientists Explain Why ‘Doing Your Own Research’ Leads to Believing Conspiracies
Researchers found that people searching misinformation online risk falling into “data voids” that increase belief in conspiracies.

As a teen I fell off the other side if this damn dam... It had pipes sticking out every few feet and I bounced off of every one of 'em on the way down. Amazingly I did not break anything.
By-the-way, this photo shows the downstream side - the concrete apron is used in many films (such as in the film clip - Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Official Trailer - below after the photo.)
I drove past just the other day and low and behold there was yet another film crew filming someth…

So, um, it looks to me like Dev Containers (https://containers.dev/) are, like, Lando and DDev, but more standard? Am I following that right?
Because I've already got a fairly well tuned straight Docker Compose setup for my dev that seems fine...? Why would I want this?
Or its alternative:

A Shopware 6 plugin failed because it used a relative path to load a file from vendor/, which broke in a deployer setup where custom/plugins is shared across releases. Since plugins can live in different locations, such paths are unreliable. The fix is to use kernel.project_dir and build the vendor path dynamically via DI. Read the full blog post to learn how.

Shopware 6: Don’t make assumptions about paths and were your plugin lives
We have a template which generates documents for us. Unfortunately it broke with the following error: php.CRITICAL: Uncaught Error: Failed opening required ‚/var/www/customer-deploy/shared/cu…

Immer, wenn ich LinkedIn öffne, erwarte ich dass endlich jemand das Learning aus seinen Flatulenzen beschreibt. Also aus'm Pups. Alles ist gut für ein Learning, Mandarinenschalenspirale kurz vor Weltrekord abgerissen! Hund, der fast 1x1 kläffen kann! Ein Radieschen, das wie ein Radieschen aussieht – und nicht wie „die Liebenden“, ein Herz oder ein Popo. LEARNINGS! Aber Pupse? Fehlanzeige. Dabei bieten die sich doch für Learnings so sehr an … Ich bin enttäuscht von euch, LinkedInlies!

Hot take: TDD is easier with LLM-assist dev. You can tell the computer "write a failing test for XYZ" which is super helpful when you see a bug in the wild that doesn't have a test for it yet because if it did your bug wouldn't have made it past CI.
Discuss (I've done the above).

“Ow” Isn’t Enough: Writers, We Can Do Better – Bob Mueller
Writers and filmmakers often miss the small but important details that make stories feel real. From painless gunshots to inaccurate Miranda warnings, these storytelling pet peeves pull viewers out of the moment and remind us how much realism really matters.

A Hermetic, Transparent Soft Growing Vine Robot System for Pipe Inspection
Rehabilitation of aging pipes requires accurate condition assessment and mapping far into the pipe interiors. Soft growing vine robot systems are particularly promising for navigating confined, sinuous paths such as in pipes, but are currently limited by complex subsystems and a lack of validation in real-world industrial settings. In this paper, we introduce the concept and implementation of a hermetic and transparent vine robot system for visual condition assessment and mapping within non-bra…

Now that Musk has offloaded Twitter and his AI experiments to SpaceX, he can be sure the government will bail it out when the AI bubble pops. The government's defense industry depends upon SpaceX for access to space.
This is probably the main reason for the "sale" transferring money from one of Musk's bank accounts to another of Musk's bank accounts.
The AI price bubble popping could have wiped out xAI and thus Twitter with it, but now it's cushioned against that by contracts with a government who can't afford to allow their only real space access to go bust.
So he can subsidize his failing AI business and his unprofitable media-manipulation efforts at Twitter with his government-protected failing exploding space-rocket project.
All protected by the lie which the media keep repeating uncritically that it makes any sense at all to have data centers in space.
What a great businessman.
