How do you reconcile having worked in this capacity mentally? Not being snarky or judgemental, genuinely curious as to the mindset of someone who has been in this position.

Is there a side by side comparison for their products anywhere? I'd like to compare this to the current 16 specs. And are they planning a "Pro" version of the 16?

I don't have plans to buy a laptop in the near future, but its nice to have this as an option. I like the idea of a bespoke Linux machine I could use.

I think part of the point of OP was that this isn't a good way to support people to step up. It's frankly bizarre and has dubious future prospects like any other federal program under the current administration.

I can't. It is a subject without a predicate. It doesn't look like valid English to my eyes.

Hey buddy, you're out of line. Microsoft has clearly had experiences all along.

What do you think Windows: ME stood for? Miserable Experience

Do you have sources for this? Not asking for validation reasons, I'd genuinely like to read up on this dynamic.

Good on you. I saw your comment in the Microsoft thread earlier and wondered what this was. I now want to actively seek out examples of this played as it seems like it would be a hoot.

Friendly spelling correction. Diaries, not dairies. Dairies are where one produces dairy products.

And I'm sorry your mom experienced that weight towards the end of her life. That sounds like a significant thing to grapple with, especially considering some of the not so pleasant content mentioned.

Annihilation of Italian food is nothing to laugh at, and is in fact a tragedy

It's frankly hard to tell much difference when put into the same color scheme. Granted, those minute changes represent MASSIVE shifts in the arrangement of matter throughout the nebula, it just doesn't look that way from this far away.

> agreed to by any of the bodies that are supposed to decide whether the US military activates

This isn't true. Congress entered into de facto agreement the second that it struck down war powers measures against the Trump administration's power to wage war against Iran.

And Benito Musollini, and the Blue Meanie. And Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie

That's not what the quote is referring to directly (the title is a bit misleading):

"In fact, when it is eventually declassified, the American people will be stunned that it took so long and that Congress has been debating this authority with insufficient information"

You are correct that the American populace has normalized this already. The fact that this is done without congressional oversight is indeed stunning. Or at least it would have been a decade or two ago.

It was a pun...NO WAIT! Whats that thing where it spells the same backwards and forwards?

Cocô-pilot would work here

How so? Hearing from someone who has worked in this environment would be enlightening.

I'm very, very concerned for the astronauts piloting this upcoming trans-lunar flight. Given that Boeing, well, does Boeing things, the current state of NASA in this political climate, and the fact that problems keep arising with this current stack, it makes me feel that there is a significant chance of issues mid-flight.

Godspeed to them, hopefully I'm being overly dour.

It makes it much more fun to imagine a room full of robots in overcoats trying to pass off as human, but doing a terrible job due to the audible "clanks" betraying them from beneath the coat.

Spaces like HN then become a cacophony of clankers clanking as their numbers increase

I would like to formally petition that the tech world at large replace "em-dash" with "clank" in all correspondence

I particularly loved this one. I interpreted it as a man indulging in one last ephemeral vanity. A literal last fart in the whirlwind of life used as a metaphor to illustrate how useless mankind's boasts are next to the inevitability and finality of death

I feel the profound

written word austerity;

Death, captured in time

Ahh, true. Didn't think about that one.

I pity the poor bastard that lets this skill atrophy, then finds themselves unable to hit a round number while pumping gas

Not certainly. A LARGE number of fungi grow just fine without manure. I think this is a common misconception since agaricus bisporus (portobello, bella, white, cremini, button) need it to grow well, and it is the most commonly human-grown fungus by a long shot.

Because the service they render brings joy and entertainment to a large multitude of people. It is a higher visibility job than most, and is largely an individual contribution in and of the service they provide

90% of software engineers have a fear of being Julius

And if I choose to drink a Coke, then so be it. I'm not forced to, and I'm aware of the fact that I am consenting to whatever ill effects I might get by purchasing and consuming it.

These pixels are a horse of a different color. They grab my info with no consent given (hiding behind "But the site we have the pixel on has to inform you, not us!" is a complete and utter cop out) and then make a profit selling or using it.

Totally different circumstances, and this shouldn't be ok.

The sad thing is that I think many people will en masse pony up their ID or snapshot without a second thought. I'm not sure if enough people will refuse to actually force Discord to back off this decision (unless their idea is to grab as much data as possible at once with the understanding that they are going to back off either way).

Oh nice. I'd have loved to have had this a few months ago. It's not overly easy to find VST plugins for Linux, and I've missed that since moving from Windows last year.
