The design is very neatly done especially when the docks disappear and you place an app into full screen mode. I really like the concept overall, this looks like a cool side project!
What did you do in your past that you have to virtue signal so hard to correct it in your head?

Every person is capable of murder, that's why murder happens. It's a natural thing, in nature, creatures die and kill every day. The fact that you consider yourself so outstanding and morally erect that you are completely sure that you'd never kill a person and have never wished to only tells me that its likely you had never had any real introspective thought in your life.

Of all evil I deem you capable: Therefore I want good from you. Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws.

Exactly, people need to stop pretending Star Wars is something it isn't.

It ain't high science fiction, it ain't some coherent canon of beautiful authentic story telling.

Apart from Rogue One and Andor, it's space shows for kids. The plots never made total sense, the acting was always corny, the writing wasn't exactly tight. All the way back to A New Hope.

It's pew-pew-pew blasters in space, bad guys vs good guys, etc.

I hated the sequels, they were awful, each in their own unique way. Abrams makes garbage stories from whatever he touches these days. But he makes garbage that makes money, and that's really what it's about.

Public hands over $$, gets to see shiny space battles with a dose of nostalgia. That's what they're paying for, whether the true fans complain or not.

Myself, I hated the prequels, too, but I rewatched them recently with my adolescent son, though, and he was fine with them and, yeah... because as cheez and corny and incoherent as they were, that's what Star Wars is.

I'll save my purism for Dune.

I am going to lose some karma over that comment:

As someone who has not watched star wars before being adult but is pretty fond of fantasy and sci-fi, I am wondering if the simplest explanation for the constant disappointments is that the universe and source material are not that great in the first place. Is it possible that in 2023, a good chunk of the love for star war movies is due to fond childhood/90's memories that are impossible to recapture? I am hard pressed to find people that became passionated about star wars by discovering them late in their life.

If I am right, then what to do? People are going to be unhappy if the franchise tries to modernize itself and make drastic changes, but they will also be unhappy if they get more of the same because it won't have the madeleine effect.

Has been happening for the sub-60W market for a long time.

Lenovo has also gradually been adding USB-PD to their gaming laptops, first at 100W and by now I believe at 140W. Though the one I use can use up to 300W and the only viable aftermarket charger is the SlimQ 240W, which can do either 2x100W PD or a range of barrel plugs (and lenovos high-wattage rectangle) on one relatively small brick.

This is interesting to me because it's so at odds with how I took in the new trilogy. I thought only Johnson showed any vision at all, and I also thought his sense of small scale combat choreography was way better, e.g. the scene where Adam Driver and Rey fight those guys in the red suits.

JJ's movies were so derivative of the original trilogy I sometimes wondered if he was messing with us, e.g. the scenewhere a character says, if I recall, "it's just like the death star!" once they've unveiled...another death star.

But yes, the fact that the three movies don't gel whatsoever, in terms of tone or plot, seems like a management issue. Really puts into perspective what the folks at Marvel have pulled off.

The X-Men and DCEU movies seem like a similar story.
I agree.

It would seem to me (having next to no knowledge about defamation laws) that defamation would be applicable to the person publishing the incorrect information, and not just one party in a private conversation. I suppose it's complicated if it can be shown that ChatGPT is consistently returning incorrect info for a range of questions but surely its responses aren't considered to be statements of fact?
Crazy. Why do you believe that? Have you read the WHO’s methodology? What is your expertise in air quality studies and/or policy? Do you know how many scientists and organizations outside the WHO agree with their assessment?

Nobody said anything about walking past a single smoker, that’s pure straw man in this context. The stats also aren’t generalized from a single event. You’re arguing armchair FUD logic without any facts, against real-world evidence from a global organization with a many decades history of monitoring all available science on this topic.

Time will tell where majority groups migrate to, I'm mostly afraid it will be ever more fractured islands that slowly fade for a good long while before one dominant platform slowly gains traction again as was the case with Reddit.

Lemmy looks a little too technical for majority users to consider I'm afraid.
> I genuinely don't think it's that complicated. There's a perception about that, but look at the wire protocol for a couple devices & it starts to feel extremely rote extremely quick.

USB-PD standard is 500+ pages. I remember some early adopters (before ready-made usb-pd controllers were available) complained about that, that the PD code was far bigger than rest of their gadget code. Hell, just look at amount of PD stuff that was subtly or not-so-subtly implemented wrong.

And it's like, they decided to invent their whole own PHY and wire protocol instead of just using CAN or one of the RSXXX ones, for no discernable gain.

Sure it is easier now but not because standard is, but because chip manufacturers made chips specifically to handle that mess...

Paris was substantially rebuilt in the mid 19th century.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haussmann%27s_renovation_of_Pa...

A lot of what you think of as "Paris style" is much newer than New York City. NYC has plenty of buildings older than that, and more importantly, its grid pattern is even older.

New York does have many newer buildings, while Paris deliberately prevented much modernization after that. Downtown Paris has no skyscrapers except the Eiffel Tower itself, but it does have modern business centers pushed off to the outskirts of the city.
I have Der Kleine Brockhaus (one volume) from 1925. I'm sometimes reading it for fun.

People keep suggesting Lemmy but I think decentralized social media is preferred by technical people like us. But in real world only centralized social media seems to work. So why not adopt a model that will be good in the long run, how about something like Wikipedia non-profit Reddit alternative?

Yeah that's probably what the Digg execs said, and StumbleUpon, and the Myspace guys before that.

I don't care about the supposedly woke stuff, I'm talking about the direction of the plot. Everything that made the critics love that movie hurt the franchise.
> I can't help but wonder with all the talk about the important of energy at the national level, why this kind of analysis is not done by one of gov. Agencies ...

This kind of thing used to be more common in the US but in the 80s various trends, from ideological privatization to increased tolerance for "gaming the system" and an increase in regulatory capture, squeezed this kind of thing out. Not completely (car models get crash testing, for instance) but, for example, FDA no longer does its own prospective research, but responds to applications from the private sector (and when it has questions, has the requestor do the research).

It is funny to see VME boards considered "large" (though there were options to allow them to be huge). The name is "VersaModules European format" replacing the 370x230mm VersaBus boards with 233.35x160mm 6U for typical VME boards. Simple i/o could use 3U (100x160mm) boards. This reduction was possible because of denser chips, specially PALs.

Very large boards (9U height and/or 340mm or more depth) were used later, as I mentioned above. But I consider them the exception.

Apple wanted an ISA-like form factor so the cards became 101.6mm high and between 177.8 and 327mm deep. So a bit smaller, but not that much than more typical VME boards. The less squarish form factor does make routing signals to the connector a little more complicated.
>Or is it just when it’s a crypto company, this raises an eye?

I don't know a lot of founders in their 20s and 30s who ran a business, especially if it failed who had time or money to take a casual year off, buy luxury real estate in Singapore and pet tigers in Dubai. In most industries running off with your customer or investor funds is probably a crime. For some reason crypto 'founders' always end up with millions even if the people they ought to have a fiduciary duty towards end up broke.

> What’s the point to get your “2c” heard on Hacker News?

Archiving helps me know more about myself. Primarily, I use forums as a way to archive my viewpoints and how I have reasoned them. It's spectacularly rewarding when discussions devolve into an argument and I know specifically how and why I came to a certain conclusion, because I can reference thoughts that I reasoned before. Rarely, I find my views challenged in a constructive way that informs and changes the mind of one party or the other...if only on tangential topics. That's always nice.

It's also handy to listen to the echo chamber to get ahold of the zeitgeist of that particular group, which is useful when interacting with other people in real life that espouse particular aligned views. Now you can have an interesting conversation, you might not have had otherwise, which is a practical benefit.

When a tool I use across jobs has a bunch of features that are controlled by toggles, then what I get from the tool changes every time I change jobs.

the nice thing about USB-PD is that you can connect any PD-compliant charger to any PD-compliant device, and get some charge.

so even without any software or clever switches to slow-charge your laptop, if you took a USB-PD laptop that prefers a 240W charger and plugged it into your 50W tablet charger or 20W phone charger, it would charge. it would just do it a lot more slowly than witht he high-power charger.

I suspect your lenovo works the same way - if you plugged it into a 65W thinkpad X1 charger, it'd probably slow-charge your laptop.
