Autowiper sensors are some of the simplest, well understood technology around. You place an infrared led at a low angle to the windshield, you place an ir collector so the light from the LED hits it. (Remember that at shallow angles, light

Aseprite files also can be ingested directly by tools down the line. Godot, for instance, with a plugin can setup all your animations directly from an aseprite file.

Sort of, anarchy does not mean individualism. It absolutely can be built around syndicalism and federation. If a group of people says, "we believe it's best to take turns doing this labor" then they can do that. Typically the

The basic theory is that when something is abundant and everyone has what they need, the incentive for theft doesn't really exist. If you set out a barrel of forks and say, "take what you need" then at some point everyone has

I live in Seattle and have a mid tail cargo bike. I regularly shop at the local nursery, hardware store, or Costco on my bike. My bike configuration can carry about one full but not overflowing shopping cart. Because I don't need to st

Some of us genuinely believe in mutual aid and practice it. Talking about mutual aid inspires mutual aid. It's ok to tell stories where good things happen because you got involved.

This is called mutual aid, and is one of the fundamental underpinnings to anarchist theory. People will help each other, generally, if doing so is not too much of a burden on themselves. Systematizing that behavior into genuine community su

Spend ten minutes googling, it's really not hard to find articles that talk about men and unique needs of men in traditionally women's spaces, and they stayed focused on men. It's trivial to demonstrate that these exist. Mayb

Trans women are women. What the fuck is this hate shit doing here?

Then I retract b) in this case. You are in the nearly impossible case - a woman who does know that, for them, the situation was worse as a balls-haver. But it's hard to generalize, and the original comment did an extremely typical thin

You aren't paying attention to women's media if you think that's the case. Plenty of women's media discusses the difficulties in men's lives. And when they do, for instance talking about testicular cancer, they tend

That's not an excuse. Men can and should be capable of "oh shit, we should fix this bad experience women have!" Without needing to center men's experiences.

What an absurd statement. It's a) not a fucking competition and b) nearly impossible for you to know that and c) not going to be universal for all balls-havers and all labia-havers. Also, like, what is your comment even aiming to achie

I'm 40, I got a sleeve done this year. I've never been more thrilled to get one. Get tattoos. It's your body, if the art is meaningful to you, why hold back?

Well, obviously, right? They started with the premise of, "what if we committed wholesale intellectual property theft" and moved immediately to, "I bet we can put a whole lot of people out of work and keep the profits to ours

First syllable plus diminutive is a super, super common English construction though. Beverage to bevy, for a sort of contrived example. Sometimes these take a bit of work to go from the shortened version to the long one.

They specifically said, "their reviews are fair". Maybe you missed that part of their post?

My phone plan costs $14/month and could power music indefinitely at high speeds. Notably, it's something I already have and already pay for. $300 more for a new stereo is still a lot to many people. Plus, if I buy beater cars but

Blaming the victim of a con is just intellectual elitism. Everyone, literally everyone is vulnerable to a con that's obvious to someone else. Sure, tech cons are more obvious to us technical folk, but we have our own blind spots in oth

The parent didn't say "no car" they said "cheap car". Most people can't afford to buy new cars.

This is a fascinating misunderstanding of history. Were you not around when phones all had unique, non USB charging cables? It was a nightmare trying to charge a phone or device if you forgot your charger.

You are saying you can reduce e waste by whole integer percent with a simple bit of legislation? That's a clear win.

It's surprising to me that people see examples like this and somehow still think, "well, it's one bad apple. One bad decision from one company" rather than a systematic problem with incentive structures. Capitalism, and

I meant more generally, in the sense that if someone is never in the role. Like if someone says, "we don't need engineering managers". Of course you are correct in the short term where I'm stepping away from my role temp

It's a function of scale. Hundreds of engineers is very, very small scale. In an environment like that I totally agree that you can delegate these responsibilities to individual engineers and it's probably fine. When you have tens

I'm an engineering manager who was formerly an engineer. I have always held that an engineering manager is not above the team, but within the team with a different role. Like, I do the following things: Prevent other teams from reachin

I can imagine no ways in which this ends poorly. Like, News Corp in particular, but news in general, has become an entertainment product with heavy biases. Are we really thinking it's a good idea to just wire those into systems we don&

The rule of thumb is that employees cost the company double what they pay the employee. So, still hundreds of thousands per employee.

An engineer costs $500k a year. Salary, benefits, office space, equipment, hr, legal, and other overhead. The engineer will only see a fraction of that, of course. If you told me it took a hundred engineers to run Wikipedia I'd say, th

Your own link shows investment income as about $3-4m. Nowhere near enough to pay for infrastructure and engineers, let alone all the other things you need to operate Wikipedia. If you want to argue against finding Wikipedia you are going to
