Something1234··on NASA Pulls Off Delicate Thruster Swap, Keeping Voyager 1 Mission Alive
You mention voyager documentaries but fail to mention which one. There's lots, and its impossible to know which one is good until you finish it. Please tell us which one you wanted to watch.

It's sad how much documentation is honestly unreachable now.

Something1234··on How a Private-Equity Payday Drained a Hospital Chain of Cash
I think the hardest part is defining exactly what private equity is. It's a boogyman at this point.
Something1234··on Tobacco Free Hiring Practice
Have you ever been around cigarette smoker when you have a cold? I don't think you quite understand how much smoking/vaping is saying fuck you to those around you.
Something1234··on How Local Governments Got Hooked on One Company's Janky Software
Sounds about right. Maybe even typical. Every township has that one guy paying super close attention while contributing nothing other than pissing and moaning. If we really want to change local government software, we need to actually incentivise people to join up with anti merger clause on whatever grants we offer them.
Something1234··on NSA Codebreaker Challenge 2024
It is kind of an issue because a lot of people lose their school email when they graduate.

Asking the same cause this is one I've never had time to do when I was in university and would like to do it now that I'm graduated.

Something1234··on What's New in SQLAlchemy 2.1?
Prisma defeats the entire point of sql with it's weird almost graphql like thing. Apparently developers can't be trusted with it cause you can do big dumb in it.
Something1234··on Using $300 robot arms and a MacBook to fold a T-shirt
He has 4 arms there. So $1200 minimum and they look super flakey like they can't dig into a laundry basket.

Something1234··on GM Lays Off 1k Salaried Software, Service Employees
Probably realized their plan was nothing short of a joke. Every time I use android auto i get impressed by how many things had to go right for it to work. Good luck getting the same kind of phone support or app support. Absolute clowns.
Something1234··on The waiting time paradox: why is my bus always late? (2018)
Waste of time because the universe knows you don't actually want that pleasure of the cigarette and will be further punished by the cigarette for your hubris.
Something1234··on Global Anti-Corruption Consortium
I think the single greatest thing we could do to reduce corruption is give everyone a mandatory 2 week paid vacation. No access to laptops or anything during those two weeks.
Something1234··on Google threatened tech influencers unless they 'preferred' the Pixel

Something1234··on There Is No Antimemetics Division (2018)
I really like his book Ra. It's a great example of secret societies and layers within layers. Although to me it honestly sounds impossible.

Something1234··on Who Took the Cocaine Out of Coca-Cola?
I think it's also used by dentists. I tried to find photos of the packaging at one point but couldn't find anything. I'm more than a little bit curious how the pharma packaging looks.
Something1234··on Fast Lua Serialization (2023)
I'm going to need to hear more about it because this is absolutely wild.
Something1234··on CSC ServiceWorks laundry machine coin bypass (2023)
This times a 1000. Single greatest thing I have ever done. Although find one that isn't attached to a dry cleaners or it gets expensive. (They randomly decided t-shirts needed to be dry cleaned and only wash-folded my underwear and socks).
Something1234··on Ask HN: How to deploy a React App to a static blog?
I would use vite to build it. Avoid next like the plague.

Vite is great for things like this. I've also stuck them in by themselves using tsc and react-min.js or maybe I ran it through babel by hand. IDK.

Something1234··on Michigan Dept. Of Transportation Still Has a Century-Old Ford Model T in Service
It's absolutely fascinating to me how we bend over backwards for the Amish cult to live in the sticks and pay fewer taxes. So much consideration for a group that wants nothing to do with us.
