Yeah it is nice to at least have a little variation in sh*t though sometimes.

M&S run the real scam. They don't even do a meal deal. It just costs you £7.

The units are disingenuously applied in Tesco at least though which makes it difficult to compare.

For example you might have price per sht (well you need at least 4 per sh*t ;) but there will also be a 2 for 1 offer with no price per sht and then a multi pack with no offer on it with a different price per sht. So you have three factors to compare to work out how many sh*ts per sht are best value. And then there's the confusion of loyalty card only prices.

I have got to the point I'd rather shop at Waitrose because they don't pull that sht.

On that note I think I'll go to Morrisons today and be mugged differently.

At the bottom. But quite frankly you can get whatever result you like out of nutritional approaches by picking sources. I mean that's how they do meta-analysis studies. Pick an answer, fit the sources to it and publish. Then get picked up by some idiotic media on a slow news day and the next thing you have is a diet fad.

Eat anything that is actually food, in moderation.

Similar with my father. He is on the rapid decline stage. He's overweight, diabetic and suffering from congestive heart failure. Everything he did to get himself here was self inflicted because the consequences were not immediate and he was so self obsessed with his own correctness over doing what the hell he wanted that he was invincible. They won't do surgery on him to repair his heart because it's too risky. They took away his driving license. He sits at home all day waiting to die with cognitive visible on a weekly basis. His bowel has stopped working properly as well now.

I always look at it like this: if the human body had a operators manual, would putting that inside your body be in the section marked O or the section marked X. If it's likely to go in the section marked X then you're either taking a risk or lining yourself up for a particularly shitty decline one day.

Very accurate emulation experience here :)

I believe in them. But unit tests are useless around useless humans. And there’s lots of those. A fine example is that time I wrote a test suite for a domain specific language parser. Someone wanted to break the language so they deleted the tests. New stuff was added without tests.

They confidently broke everything historically and looking forward. Then blamed it on me because it was my test suite that didn’t catch it. The language should not have been broken.

Everything only works if you understand what you are doing so every argument should be posed as both sides.

I don't think pair programming exists in reality. It is talked about a lot.

Pair debugging does exist but only when stuff goes wrong. This is the vain hope that perhaps two people can make up one competent person when the shit has hit the fan.

I was actually hiking up there in August. Absolutely surreal to see that now.

What makes you think they aren’t? There is no absolute position here.

Good and bad people come and go all the time.

The nuance is wiped clean by the rampant flagging of loons that the start of any regulatory thread brings.

The end game is it’s difficult to make a point about dead bodies when someone has taken all the corpses away. The point is those people still own businesses and write code and contribute to society and we take little to no responsibility as an industry of the bad actors, referring them to heroes and role models.

I might write something to track this.

EU is a big org. There are good and bad players. Twitter is a cesspool of bad players. The whole point of this investigation is to flush out bad players from many places. Propagandists, partisans and manipulators.

Well clearly this thread demonstrates the HN bias towards deregulated capitalism and spewing any garbage at any cost however much damage it does to society.

Our technology industry has a bright future. Shame about everyone else…

Edit: this should be read in context to the initial replies all of which have been flagged and deleted.

It means every time I install a random package, half of Xorg doesn't get installed as well?

Has it really launched here? I had no idea. I don't think I've heard anyone even mention it I know.

I think this is the worst straw man headline I've ever heard.

I've never actually used ed once in the last 30 years of using Unixes both on a programming and admin perspective.

Edit: ok he got me :)

The effort always stops when the commercial goal is achieved.

Well just don't have any friends!

If they did they'd look nice and run on time.

No they don't. They create systems and act within in them. Subtle but important difference.

Perhaps we just shouldn't do this?

The environmental impact of AI is already huge and we have an uncertain energy future.

I think the hype is driven by a combination of naivety, religious thinking and hope.

Personally my cynical perspective is I work with people that it could viably replace now and that's sad, not because it's good tech but the people are so fucking awful.

Is it though? I mean they replaced the computers, all the sensors and the entire strategy at least 2 times each and haven't managed to deliver anything viable.

Edit: and another thread just popped up on HN with this https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-12-13/tesla-aut...

Against their own advice, the moment it is stolen you should erase it from Find My as a priority. Until that is done it can be used to authenticate with your iCloud account as an MFA device and can then be removed anyway if they get past the device lock. In that window the security posture is somewhat unknown. I'm sure there is a good market of off the shelf exploits which can leverage that in some way, despite Apple's excellent general efforts on this front so far.

The key thing is to protect your data first and that means wiping it remotely. Leave it attached to your iCloud account device list though because that'll leave the provisioning / device lock in place. I'm sure they have a way around that now but it'll make it more difficult and devalue it for the thief at least.

Are you a masochist?

Just use MS Todo or Apple Reminders or something. That's all you need for personal stuff and it costs a grand total of zero.

It was never considered.

If you want people to do good things, reward them when they do them and help them understand and improve when they don’t. Taking rewards away is counterintuitive to the goal of a net improvement.

Interested to know why you’re an ex-psychotherapist. I have an academic connection in the field and have had a lot of conflicting discussions with them!

I wrote something on Android a few years back called Reward-o-matic. Basically every time one of the kids did something really good, you pressed a button next to their name and a counter went up by £0.50. At the end of the month that got added to their pocket money as a bonus.

Both the app and the idea worked pretty well.

I think you pretty much nailed it.

On the other hand I will only buy a car where the car is a BT audio unit and control head and nothing else. Everything more than that sucks.

Please don’t make excuses for either side.

I think the feminist in question wants attribution for herself rather than to make a point.

Both sides have been harmed. The war is about reducing continuing harm from an organisation that literally said that this was just the start of things...
