  • Once you do this, you can never ever unpollute your water table.

    Oh but hey, “technology” in the future will solve this!

    We’ve been hearing that about climate change for decades at this point, why suffer now when maybe we can force future generations to shit out a technological diamond or suffer for us!

    Material science is good but not magic, at some point we need to acknowledge addressing the sources of problems which were can totally address today is better than being on someone else using magic.

    This brings back memories of trying to match locale info from my local computer, a remote server, a MySQL db, and a different Python app in a different server region.

    It was for an international email campaign so each users email needed to match their in app locale for number and currency formatting, but there were like a half a dozen different layers of apps and servers that all handled locales differently.

    Add in a hard deadline for the client and oof, that was a painful week.

    LC_ALL=C is now cursed knowledge that resides in my brain. I wasn’t able to install Babel or any other libraries because security reasons so I had to handle everything manually.
