I'm wondering why the tolerances for the oil pipe were so small in the first place. Why not make the pipe one or two mm thicker?

I can't remember the last project where I haven't used Craft CMS. Twig templating, no opinion on the data structure and easy to extend.

It is weird how children apperently need protection from books but not from exploitation. For the richest nation in the world that is just a sad state of affairs right now.

EVs make up about 2% [1] of vehicles in Germany right now. It will take at least a decade until the claim isn't valid anymore. [1] https://www.statista.com/statistics/1300500/electric-cars-sh...

I had Firefox crash regularly when my GPU started failing, don't know why. But before that and after getting a new GPU zero crashes in years with 100+ tabs open regularly.

Maybe Vivaldi would be a good fit for you?

Are there banks/companies proactively trying to trick customers? Call, then throw up some red flags, then educate? Especially for older customers a "near-miss" might be helpful to lower the risk of them getting scammed.

Some of those "OGs" must be really full of themselves if they think a few superficial 20-year-old development stories are "ruining the Rockstar mystique".

There seems to still be a lack of incentives to write good software. Until the fines for data breaches or bad releases become dangerous to the existence of the company, this won't change.

In my mind, something like Dwarf Fortress could be a great candidate. Each interaction and character has (and changes) a plethora of variables which affect the behavior and relationship. Those could then be used to generate fitting dialogs

I wonder when AI will be used to improve NPC dialog and imrpove mission generation on side-missions. If I were Rockstar that would be my main goal for GTA6.

They closed nuclear plants, but the decision to close them down was made ten years ago. To extend them now would be prohibitively expensive and not even the owners wanted to keep them online. You can fault Germany for not building new mode

Signal had 40 million active users in 2021 [1]. With 14 million in infra cost, that comes to .35 per user/year. Total expenses are about 33 million, so about .825 per user/year. All in all that seems very reasonable. [1] https:&#

I see this as a useful tool for creating interactive demos and prototypes which allow to quickly iterate over ideas. Could keep the feedback loop with clients short and allow to minimise miscommunication. I could see for example Figma imple

The certificates are generated once for each document. So every 10 years for a national ID. The information is then signed using the certificate with the helpg of your local device. Since the government is the CAA, the receiver can quickly

That is a bad implementation, then. You could just as well design a system, where the only parties involved are the person and the party asking for identification. The only way to then track behavior would be to be embedded at every single
