guax··on Yulia Navalnaya’s X account was suspended
I think X would benefit from having a verification system for public figures where mass report would lead to manual review instead of insta ban etc. it could double up as a way for people to know they're following the real person.
guax··on Owners report rust forming on Tesla Cybertruck
Hate to say it, but it's a terrible solution. To keep your INDESTRUCTIBLE WORK TRUCK from corrosion in less than 6 months of ownership you have to clean it immediately if it even touches the wild and unrecommended environment of the OUTSIDE.

It is bad user ownership if its expected and advertised as such, chefs knives are sold as fragile and requiring regular maintenance. Tesla advertises this as bullet proof, amphibian, workhorse, f150 breakfast eater jesus truck.

Is there a safe speed to whack salt onto my kitchen sink? Most I've done is 55mph and it felt unstable.

guax··on Pkl, a Programming Language for Configuration
Scalable config files? I'm confused. What needs to scale?
guax··on Alaska Airlines Plane Appears to Have Left Boeing Factory Without Critical Bolts
"I don't want to fly company A, im happy with company B."

And from that phrase you took that OP likes B to be a monopoly? All that because he expressed... choice on the competitor?

guax··on Reasons to avoid static type checking in Python
Your comment is incredibly hostile. They're expressing their opinion on the language they use and like. A language that's always been that way. I find it incredibly tiring that every language goes to the fase of people complaining it's not other language and fighting to change it instead of using another one.
guax··on Apple announces changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store in the European Union
The primary purpose of the 30% is to get 30% of money. If apple could get away with 60 they would. Apple more than pays for the SDK development just with their cut of child casino apps they sell. Everything else is just free cash.

25% cheaper apps would entice A LOT of users to trust another store with a big name behind like Amazon or Google.
guax··on Launch HN: Diversion (YC S22) – Cloud-Native Git Alternative
--force always imply data loss. You're overriding the remote state.

Do people use it in an unsafe manner because they don't understand git and there lies a problem that could be tackled? yes.

With that, I don't think git has any feature that is unsafe by default.

guax··on 'Canada Is a Video Piracy Hotspot While Brazil Sees Piracy in Decline'
Its only because of cheap streaming and password sharing. People in Brazil would be able to pirate using a toaster if prices were too high. Only one person has to get the file, then it gets distributed easily.

Shells are a solved problem!!
guax··on US developers can offer non-app store purchasing, Apple still collect commission
I think the difference is that amazon is not a platform. You sell on Amazon because it is where everyone is and they did that by burning lots and lots of cash to ensure everyone margins cannot be larger than a paper atom.

Now that they're trying to capitalize on it they're becoming worse as a store and I can't remember last time I used them (in NL).

If you buy an iphone there is no one to compete, Apple does not have to play the low margins game because there is no other game in town. Amazon does not take 9% if you sell somewhere else and does not care if you sell cheaper elsewhere, Apple does.

By imposition of the platform. If people could choose to use apples SDK for 30% or react native 3000 revenge of the javascript for free, they would not bat an eye and go for the latter.

This is a very good idea, starting a file on cloudflare right now.
guax··on United finds loose bolts on plug doors during 737 Max 9 inspections
reassuring serving or intended to remove someone's doubts or fears.

can be reassuring if it removed the doubt that he was making a senseless decision. while still being the opposite about flying the thing.

According to the linked article: at least five aircraft. So, not unique to this one. Or the one that blew the door out.
guax··on Tracking developer build times to decide if the M3 MacBook is worth upgrading
I also got surprised about using it for this kind of work. I don't have access to copilot and gpt-4 at work but my first instinct is to ask, did you double check its numbers?

Knowing how it works now makes more sense that it would make less mistakes but I'm still skeptical :P

guax··on Tesla Drivers Have the Highest Crash Rate of Any Brand: Study
You gotta be pretty unlucky to "crash into things" while in the air with autopilot at cruise altitude.

Autopilot on cars is a MUCH harder problem than on an airplane. Plus you're taking about trained professionals and liable companies vs average Joe and negligent developer.

guax··on Tesla claims California false-advertising law violates First Amendment
Open Tesla website. Does it show information about a product it's seling? That's an ad. Have they provided information about said products elsewhere? Where those... advertised to people, let's say, via the CEO on a publishing platform?
guax··on Elon Musk Says He May Bring Conspiracy Theorist Alex Jones Back to X
Those replies are very reassuring of my decision to nuke my account and not look back.

guax··on Tesla Cybertruck vs. Porsche 911 drag race
I think there is nothing cool about engineering in this. Its comparing electric power train at its best with ICE at its worst, the Porsche will eat that truck up on a track and it wouldn't be a fair comparison either. Can the Cybertruck beat a Taycan while towing a Taycan?

Its a marketing stunt, looks cool at a shallow glance but its deceptive and pretty uninspiring if you think about it.

guax··on The End of Elon Musk
It's not because he's not ideal. Elon musk is the caricature of the billionaire class. Does what he wants above all else, condescending about people who work for him (union busting, safety disregard), zero consideration for morals beyond his pet concern and hypocritical about them as well (free speech absolutist).

His failing and why people gravitate so much to him is that he is loud and public.

guax··on Swedish painters trade union to stop all work with Tesla brand cars
If only we had other places with low union power to compare to how that played out for the workers.
guax··on Apple unveils M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max
Good point. But I still think that would be completely different games and teams doing both for most games.

I can think of very few examples of games being cross ported on all platforms like Fortnite or Genshin Impact.

To the point of the ps5 comparison we're talking very different games people are thinking of. Maybe Apple needs to go the usual route of buying a studio and releasing games but I don't think apple likes or respect gaming enough to do that with good results.

Careful when sitting on computers, they might brake!
guax··on Apple unveils M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max
The lowest price is still a very high price that justifies the low end being 16. This is not a baseless complaint.

And no, it's almost 2024, people should not be able to buy 8gb RAM computers when they're soldered in and 1k+ in price.
