I'm guessing you're in in automotive or aerospace based off the engine piece. I agree, but I would presume a day long meeting leading up to a wind-tunnel test for example would have a full agenda of presentations based off simulations performed, set-up/teardown overview, scheme of testing to be performed, facility status, emergencies, data acquisition, etc. For this all the relevant teams would expect to have significant engagement and contributions. I think this is different from what people complain about. I work in satellite ops and we suffer from those types of issues (unnecessary stand-ups, status reports that could be an email etc.) despite the need to sober up and have runs where it's a lot closer to the former than the latter.
Musk doesn’t build anything without a paradigm shift. Up until now we’ve only known “paint the car, wash it, wax it, touch up, repaint or else it will rust out and fall apart.” The new paradigm with the CT could be “it’s so hard it barely dents, the finish will age and develop a patina over time but stop worrying about it because it will never rust out in your lifetime.”

Yeah I want my car to look good and clean, but I think this will be an easy fix and some small adjustments to your standard wash process could be all that’s need.

I already have an iron remover I use on my painted car before I apply ceramic coating. It’s not standard for people to do that when washing but it’s also not an exotic procedure.
It’s not that noteworthy though. Russia cannot sustain the war effort at this cost and this pace for the entirety of Ukraine. It’s a really small place with minor strategic value. Incessant meat waves do eventually work buts it’s not a winning strategy.

“Sustain” is a really funky term that’s hard to define. Like, they can keep refurbing tanks. They can keep funneling out meat. But they can’t replace the ships. They can’t replace the sovereign wealth fund.

Not to say the US shouldn’t be sending every last bomb it can find

That's why privacy first, free and open source software are so important. Few believe in their utility but to save our species souls we must fight.
I donate to a decent number of open source projects. Others I think are more than fine without me (Linux kernel, etc.) but I wouldn’t hesitate to donate if I believed they weren’t.

For the rest, I would indeed as happily see them fail than compromise on the definition of open source. The two are equivalent to me.
Same dude you make money and then lifes comfortable but no challenge
Yeah, totally. That's where branding used to be a valuable signal, under the assumption that a company wouldn't deliberately choose to destroy their long-term value. I don't believe that anymore, so I'll place what remains of my trust in reviewers I know are independent (God help us all if it turns out CR is taking kick-backs or something) and figure know more about, say, washing machines than I do.
I watched a video about it after Cybertruck release, but can't figure out which one it was mentioned in to share it, but basically, yes, the knew about this, its mentioned in the owners manual. If I recall correctly, the video mentioned that it should be covered when not in use, and it will suck if birds are shitting (uncovered) on it too.

Edit:

I'm pretty sure that Parisiens saw all other kinds of frenchmen as untermenschen and actively eradricated their languages until, like, late XX century. Since they held absolute political powers nobody was even there to question it.

Compared to that, Russians have super great attitude towards southwestern Russian variety. They do recognize the existence of Ukrainian language (dialect continuum) and that some people might want to speak it unharmed, for starters.

Ukrainian state rewrites history like there was no yesterday, but you could definitely study Ukrainian in any UkrSSR school from 1960s to 1991. I wonder if you could find a school that will teach any Languedoc, anywhere in Languedoc.

I'm also pretty sure that Germans from different parts of Germany aren't big fans of each other as a group.

Yeah no, that's garbage. There's plenty of garbage business models and they aren't suddenly okay because one company uses it and 1% of their money funds some small bit of OSS work that underpins their business model.
For those confused by the dangling modifier, he means the combined act of cutting the trees and selling the wood is restrictive. Also, a terrible analogy since trees are an exhaustible resource within a meaningful time range.

It's not running "most of Windows". In particular, as far as I know (no insider knowledge), it's not running any of the Win32 APIs (USER, etc.). So that rules out any printers which require coordination with their desktop app (which, to be honest, to get full functionality is still a shockingly high number of them). It's highly unlikely the XBox hypervisor implements any of the printing APIs, even UWP because this is a video game console, and not only does almost no one own a networked printer, an even smaller group of essentially no one has a printer, opens documents on their video game console, and wants to print them.

Features aren't free. What Xbox feature would you drop to have an engineer go implement printing APIs on them? Is that the best use of their time?
A Glitch in My Serenade
This gave me a flashback to a public speaking class in college back in... 2006ish. I gave a speech about how recycling was bullshit and a waste of time. It was very poorly received haha.
> Official UN statement is 1300 death in Maripol.

That's a lie.

https://edition.cnn.com/europe/live-news/russia-ukraine-war-...

> “The actual death toll of hostilities on civilians is likely thousands higher,” UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet said... Bachelet added that right now it is "impossible to know" the exact death toll.

Even Russia doesn't think it's that low, and they've reason to want to undercount.

https://www.anews.com.tr/world/2022/12/30/russia-says-3000-c...

Python is challenging as a production language, given its tooling inconsistencies, but it’s a great pseudocode language.
Personally I’m happy with that. If the thing merged caused an issue, I’d want to revert the entire thing that was merged, not a subpart of it which would result in a state of the codebase that nobody reviewed.

If you’re very diligent about making good atomic commits that always pass all test that can work, but I find that squashing PRs (and PRs being relatively small) is a very good trade off
I think asking whether they pay you or you pay them is probably a great way to guess which is good and which isn't. The cost of recycling something is probably mostly energy (i.e. carbon emissions) as is the cost of manufacturing a replacemement (even the materials cost itself is probably largely a function of energy spent to dig them up and get them to you) so if they pay you, it is saving carbon emissions and if not it isn't. You can get paid for dropping many metals off somewhere, you have to have your city pay to do anything with the plastic. I realize there are other factors but if one needs a quick guess that would be a good way.

If people can wrap their head around the idea that landfills are not dumps and are instead very safe and borderline irrelevant, then the carbon emissions should clearly determine what one recycles.
Just that something is largely written in Lisp, doesn't make it a "Lisp Machine", nor a clone of it.

There are tons of small things you can do to double or triple your revenue, usually by decreasing how much you spend in the first place, but also things like offering deals for people who buy right away without abandoning their carts or removing roadblocks from the purchasing process.
CERN gives you diplomatic status, by law (at least in Geneva) lessors have to be more accommodating indeed.

On the other hand, most landlords and property management companies absolutely hate applications from people who they know are going to leave after a fixed term contract.
I think one limiting factor is the fact that most posts aren't particularly deep or insightful, so the intellectual space from which one can engage on the subject is pretty limited. So most people who engage with content of this sort are just clout chasers trying to get attention or scammers.

Is it really surprising that if Elon amplifies some post with a single exclamation mark all of the replies will be completely inane and full of spam?

Another factor is account size. You can still find interesting replies in accounts that are relatively small, especially when the author takes time to manually hide spam and scams. But once an account goes beyond a certain size they just become a magnet for nonsense. It's pure quantity over quality. Elon has the biggest number of followers but the quality is abysmal.

With regards to the plastic bag surcharge, this is a policy that has largely worked in some parts of Europe as far as I can see.

They charge typically 10c for a single use bag, and 30c for a reusable bag[0] (which is much heavier plastic indeed). And people actually reuse the bags, or bring their own cloth bags, to the supermarket.

Additionally, single use plastics have been mostly banned and I can't recall seeing any (apart from straws, which were banned more recently) in the last 15 years. This was met with some grumbling early on, but people got used to it rather quickly.

[0] To give you an idea about how sturdy these 30c reusable bags are, I routinely use these to transport car parts (like brake disks & calipers, or suspension parts), fluids, power tools, or even lead batteries around.

I don't know why you're being so unnecessarily demeaning about ex-Google people or trying to downplay the accomplishments of the person who wrote the blog post. There's no need to call it "circle jerking" if someone acknowledges that the founder of a successful business has accomplished a lot, well above and beyond what an average engineer can pull off.

There was a recent article on the seaweed: [Australian red meat industry says it doesn’t need to meet its self-imposed net zero target](https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/feb/08/austr...)

> This includes feeding cows seaweed based additives, but one of the longest commercial trials failed to meet hoped-for methane cuts and led to the animals eating less food. ... “The commercial viability of those [food additives] means they are not something likely to be widely adopted by the industry.”

So yes, business as usual. Nothing has changed.

> A 2022 CSIRO report commissioned by MLA found the industry emitted almost two-thirds the volume of greenhouse gases in 2020 compared with a 2005 baseline. But it said the reported reductions have been driven by a decrease in land clearing and an increase in forest regrowth, as recorded by Australia’s national carbon accounting system. An analysis by the University of Queensland said the NCAS may be grossly under-reporting land clearing rates.
Maybe, maybe not. The stochastic, black-box nature of the current wave of ML systems gives me a gut feeling that using them like this is more of a Monkey's Paw wish granter than useful tool without a lot of refinement first. Time will tell!

If I start getting Google AI Assistants asking me to wait to connect a call, I am absofuckinglutely disconnecting that shit immediately, before my times shoot through the roof.

The heavier plastic means those bags have a longer reusable life. Unlike the thin plastic bags which were often only good for single use yet still takes centuries to breakdown.

As for the plastic bag tax, in other counties which that has been introduced there has been a reduction in the use of new bags. Every culture is different though, so it might not work in CA. But what they’re doing is far from untested.
For people with interests or opinions that were heavily censored by pre-Musk Twitter, the end of this censorship alone compensates for the countless new annoyances.

That hot dog is wrapped in foil and probably was prepared by someone wearing gloves though. Health depts around the country are more and more insisting on glove wearing for basically everything, though that has its own problems and is debatably less sanitary in certain ways.

Health depts are particularly obsessed with utensils too. The plastic is because of all of the hands that might be reaching into wherever they are if they're self-serve, if they're dropped, etc.
Trying Out Stable Cascade Local Image Generation
Perhaps unpopular opinion, but it's because the 0$ cost is what 99% of OSS users care about.

Since it requires no investment on part of the user, it increases the potential target market to a much larger size than it would if it were paid. There's just something about things being free that break people's minds.

There's even a study on this where they offered chocolates for free vs 0.01$, and the free option was much more popular even though the 0.01$ chocolate was much higher quality and much better value for a very negligible difference.

Lots of users just want to download something, use it for a few minutes and be done with it. Or at least try it out and know that they can fall back to a free version at worst and not feel like they made a bad investment.
"it really looks like a deliberate attempt to influence public opinion"

I'm much less concerned about thousands of redditors bagging on Musk than I am about Musk's ability to influence public opinion, which he has extraordinary power to do as someone with a huge megaphone and $200B to splash around.
They enjoyed the golden years after WW2 where the economy was booming, decent pension starting at reasonable age, nobody cared about the environment, people lived like there's no tomorrow.

Now the coming generations can deal with the fallout.
I put a plastic item in a stainless steel bowl and added bleach. I left it for several days because I was trying to remove some persistent stains from the item. When I checked it, the bleach had corroded through the stainless steel.

I would imagine that road salt stuck into seams would, over time, also corrode stainless steel. If there are small gaps, it can get in there and be hard to clean out. Just like getting food caught between your teeth and not flossing.
So happy for you, thats a wonderful milestone!

It's an API that also targets Windows. Apps that use it can run on both platforms.
> I.e.: Fail gracefully.

There's no grace in misleading the user and wasting his time.
The point is that the UWP allows running apps developed and tested on PCs on an Xbox. It's for the user's convenience (not having to wait on developers to port to Xbox) as much as the developer's (not having to port to Xbox).

If a user wants to run an app on their Xbox, telling them "no, the developer didn't test this on the Xbox, so I'm not going to let you do that because you might try to print and get confused about it" isn't what the user wants to hear.

When the app tries to print because the developer was "lazy" and didn't test on Xbox, telling them "I'm going to crash your app now because you clicked Print, even though I know you're on an Xbox and I could just ignore that" also isn't helpful to the user.
You can /should use sockets with ppstgresql, and even your backend (app server).
The US did give them a lot (HIMARS, Bradleys, ATACMS, a few Abrams, cluster munitions) and Europe did too (Storm Shadow, Scalp, Leopards).

I don't remember whether the Patriot batteries came from the U.S. or were traded out of some European countries.

The U.S. could have supplied a lot of the advanced weapons much sooner, but Biden dithered. Supposedly Ukraine will get F-16s any day now.

For now, U.S. aid is being blocked by Republicans in Congress who insisted that Ukraine and Israel aid be lumped into a border bill, but then they abandoned the border bill and speaker Johnson is blocking a vote in the House. There's no policy reason for this, it's just that they want to make Biden look bad in an election year and a lot of representatives are afraid of angering Trump and his supporters.
