I really hate how Product Managers somehow get to take the reins of engineering teams instead of having to sell them product ideas. It's madness, they often lack the technical skills and "optimise away" requirements surfaced

Oh man, and I completely missed the part where Imperial units aren't even standardised globally.

I can't edit this now, but, 10 US Quarts (9.46L) are not the same as 10 Quarts (11.36L). Good job there!

Great, to make Imperial even better there's the British Imperial units, but the colonies came up with their own version of it. So, same as with pints, the British quarts are not the same as the American ones. https://noai.du

I didn't say it was SI units, but it's easily convertible to them. Metric isn't magic, but it's a cohesive set of legos that can be transformed easily without requiring messy arithmetic and hard to memorise scale constan

But that's an inline engine, right? I think a model based on engine layout, displacement/cylinder, and cylinder count might be quite good at predicting the necessary oil (and will tell you when your car uses a bit too much compare

That's 11.3L for the civilised audience. For reference, my 3.6L 6-cyl boxer needs about 6.5L according to my service notes.

Not around since 2015, and desperately needed since around 2018-2019 with those military contracts and silos. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_evil

and I'm not sure how much they need to do to drive up costs. During Covid the economy has started showing signs that the incentives are wrong and Trump 2 showed you can just buy government favours and tilt the field to your advantage.

Old people shouldn't be able to drive by default past certain age. It'd be better for everyone if they just got to use cabs for free.

You can comfortably go back to your home country. It might feel that you wasted your time in the US, but it was hard to foresee Trump ruining the US so fast and there's little to do about it as an immigrant.

Some businesses pass you the credit card fees if they offer other payment methods. You'll even hear about a discount around VAT/2 if you pay with cash sometimes. I think that hiding the CC fees into the price that you pay with all

Apparently the US can. They have ICE ready to fight inland terrorists like people with signs or nearby a poorly maintained pool.

You mean that the menues that look from 2-5 Windows versions back are hacky and not an Hommage to their older releases?

but if I add that to my user-global config instead of the projects I'm working with, I'd be making the deliberate choice of fixing things only for me and not anyone else for pretty much the exact same cost. I think rules for your

Yeah, I'd say it's this easy, but it just takes a very long time to get confidence on it being ready enough.

I know! I got my own domain and it probably took me over a year to be confident that no important email was getting to me though my gmail handle I had been using since 2004

Even 1Gbps has been hard to justify for me TBH, most things over the internet aren't fast enough. The nice thing though, is that latency is great independent of other traffic as bandwidth is pretty much never saturated

It's ironic that SF has such a bad network. When I moved there like 10yrs ago I thought I would finally have 1gig fiber, but bandwidth was on par with what I had with my parent's VDSL connection from the country side, and latencie

It's not only the power structure, it's also the flawed democracy that allows gerrymandering and can only have 2 parties. It's the oligarch controlled media. It's the legalised corruption.
