  • Research suggests we are subconsciously drawn to the body odours of people who have different Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes than our own—a biological trick to ensure healthy, genetically diverse offspring. – google et al

  • source the materials out there

    That’s 5 words and trillions of dollars worth of start-up cost.

    If we’re so dead-set on flying servers out to LEO so they can be micro-meteor target practice, maybe we could leverage the no-water, solar powered setup we’d have to do there to get better DCs on earth here, first. We’d have gravity and thus convection on our side as we look at cooling, not to mention the vastly better proximity to supply chains during the proof-of-concept phase.

    The CI on forgejo is, unfortunately, nowhere near as good.

    Given how long gitlab has been struggling to fix basic bugs and instead creeping into features - hello-oo bloated and slow vscode-like web editor and non-ephemeral runner management - I’m not sure they have any staff left to let go. But it’s nice they found an excuse to shed their remaining talent and avoid complete stock devaluation.

    The planning is happening openly, including a voluntary separation window.
