Imagine all the productive things the EU could do if they stopped channeling emotional teenage angst, maybe they tried to make their own AWS, or facebook. Instead, we get this, and the Canada thing. It really is cringey.

“No” is the answer you’re asking a question about. Where was this going?

Your beef is with git, which is terrible, not a shell.

I agree with you. We are still paying for 2008, and compounded the problem with Covid stimuli. I sure wish we would just rip the band aid off at this point, but it might already be too late. The global economy is jacked, China needs everyon

Does a vacuum have feelings? A cellphone? A paper plate? A billion transistors either pulled high or low? That last bit is the point, and no, there are no feelings there.

Sorry, stranger on the internet, I was simply qualifying a failure case.

I had to switch from levis jeans to carhartt pants because my levis would rip after 5-6 months, almost like clockwork. No, I am not at all overweight. Carhartt just makes more durable pants, and I hate shopping.

You’re mistaking a technical problem with a process problem.

It’s very amusing to me that rust is trying to achieve a safety critical certification. Whatever version of the compiler that gets the cert will be cemented for the next 20 years. Safety critical work / security-sensitive work is compl

Man this made me laugh, that’s too funny. Either you forgot a /s or you sincerely have no idea what you’re talking about.

There’s a story in the Christian Bible about David, Old Testament. He was told to fire arrows into the ground. He shot 3. The response he got was something like “you should have shot more, now you’ll only sack 3 cities.” Tell me more about

We did, yes. You either pick a daycare close to home or work, with the deciding factor being which daycare is better.

Given your current prose, I don’t really feel like engaging much anymore. Engines speak CAN. We needed software to interface with the engine, along with DC/DC converters, coolant pumps, motor controllers, the IG, and about 20 other com

Why put @prestigious.edu and name a famous person? Why not just say you went to Stanford? Lots and lots of people have gone to Stanford.

> Less maintenance the traditional engine. I can tell you from experience it really isn't much less. Stale gas, dry-rotted hoses, dry/cracked seals, failed starter, fried ECU, fried coolant pump. Also account for the entire oth

I worked on unmanned ground vehicles that did this... 10 years ago. In fact we designed them from scratch. FWIW, now you have all the same joys of engine maintenance that one has with a traditional ICE car: oil changes, oil filter changes,

Are you trying to make a joke about New England/New York/New Jersey? I’m trying to understand and I just don’t get it.

Wouldn’t a “simple” fix for the AWS thing just be to force amazon to split aws out into its own company? Google (alphabet) and Facebook (meta) should probably get split up too.

The simple, untried solution is to stop being the export dumping ground of china. But when anyone says that the knee-jerk reaction is “you’re an awful person for saying that” FT has had a few articles about it recently, here is one about a

Did you read the link? Spending 1 million bucks to fix all the methane leaks in the world is such an insane bang-for-buck win that I can’t even fathom spending one billion bucks for a tenth of the gain. But sure, go for it. Logic be damned.

The current potus was directly elected because “know-it-alls” kept trying to jam ideologies down peoples throats. I have this awful feeling we’re going to swing back that way, and the escalation on “both sides” will be an absolute disaster.

Oh, it is. That idea absolutely terrifies china. Their entire economy is predicated on global consumption.

I watched a woman break down crying in a grocery store, the guy behind her put 40 lbs of ground beef on the conveyor. She started off as angry “how can you bear the thought of eating all that dead animal?” “Oh it’s not even for me, it’s fo
