I still think cars need to be controlled through hardware knobs. At least all the normal car functions. GPS and AndroidAuto/Apple CarPlay interaction should be the one exception, but even here you need a volume knob at least, so that i

You're not wrong, but the person you replied to was doing wordplay on breaking news (cracking a rock open) and boring (as in drilling).

On point. This is also why good CI/CD automatically alerts users of major issues. It's just not a thing humans are good at to pay attention to a long stream of mostly boring information. Computers are good at this though. Now the

My top 3 reasons are: 1. Audio delay makes everyone feel like they're interrupting and being interrupted. And the audio quality is still abysmal. I get serious misophonia from this. 2. I talk with my hands a lot, so I feel I can't

I was going to say this sounds like optimizing the stuff that takes 0.1% of runtime for performance over safety. Of course you'd need to measure this for your application, but without a performance measurement maybe it's better to

I can't quite see why Rust would make it harder, it's always a breeze compared to working on C++ projects, especially as the project matures. The compiler catches a lot of issues early, which otherwise slow down C++ projects as th

It's more than test coverage though. Their spec had the same glaring error. It's a design, management agreement, spec, review failure. The tester could have said something because they realized the design is bullshit, but by that

I personally would call it a placebo if the group weren't told that others got $950 more for the same goal of housing attainment. They would effectively not know that they're the "placebo" group where the mental/pla

$50 is more like a placebo control, than a non-placebo control. It's not enough money to be able to afford housing, but it may have an effect of making people feel like somebody cares, i.e. a mental effect, just like a placebo can help

I'm sorry if I came across implying this is the case for you. It was more of an observation that the reverse may happen. If you're rather reserved it might be that people are trying to fill in the pause, because it makes them unco

Good point, which really ties back to 6 though. A lot of the people that complain about constantly being interrupted seem to ramble on incessantly and never allow anybody else to speak. For a good conversation there needs to be a balance he

I guess there needs to be a balance between low value for driving exports and high value for making imports possible. Japan is an island nation, they need to import a lot of things to make their exports happen.
