If you're building bridges, this shouldn't be a controversial statement. Same if you're building cryptography software.

It's debatable if the same should apply to the vast majority of software that is less critical.

There's a meta joke in here somewhere about going to a rave and expecting it to be the same norms as the rest of the world.

100% agree here. City builders for me eschew individual citizens in favor of group statistics, to oversimplify it.

Misleading headline. This is layoffs, not a redesign.

I’d love to see the debate over adding 6k salaries for Congress. That’d be a hoot and the likely plan of attack for the dissenters.

I don’t see why not. https://docs.arduino.cc/libraries/webserial/

Judging by various leaks over the years, you get it for free anyway.

Anyone who owns two $500k houses is wealthy in 2026. I used to own two worth less than that and didn’t consider myself wealthy, but I was by the statistics.

The boilerplate really does get out of hand sometimes. “There isn’t X. We built X.” Really wish more folks would stick to the older “I couldn’t find X so I built it.”

Nope, you moved the goalpost here from “who defeated the Nazis”. I am fine with your new claim of who suffered the most.

It does matter because of the side effects (pollution, etc.). The environment and how it affects humanity is a complex system with many variables. Both generation and consumption are in there.

Can you elaborate on what you mean, or did you just want to state those numbers? No one is arguing that the US fought on the Eastern Front.

> There's a strong case that they didn't even defeat the nazis, that was done by the Soviets.

With Lend-Lease equipment. No matter what way you cut it, multiple nations defeated the Nazis together.

This. If I go up to my boss and say “I spent $10000 but it only cost us $1000” then I spent $1000.

> I used to work for a boss who made $5 million a year and he would get into SCREAMING fights with his wife in the office over the phone about how they couldn't afford to fly the horses to Europe for her to compete in horse dressage competitions.

Something I hold as a truth in life is that the neither money nor what it's spent on is the issue when it comes to spouses screaming at each other about what they can afford.

> It’s not an immersive experience despite a big screen.

Thank you for this statement. I have struggled for years to enunciate why I don’t enjoy movies in theaters anymore, and all the distractions and inconveniences truly do remove my immersion.

Religions generally stick to the standard “the old ways are whatever the last few generations taught, and the modern/liberal religions will be the old ways in a few generations”. Very few parts are not influenced by culture.

I have to admit, my first somewhat sarcastic thought was what they will do about content involving murder, adultery, theft, not honoring your mother and father, etc.

*for getting past ATS reviews.

You're forgetting that you need coffee/tea/mate to fuel the button pushers. The Jetsons predicted this decades ago.

I know it's just marketing speak, but the term made me think of the scenes in the Matrix where what's left of humanity (ignoring all the cyclical lore that was added on top of it) has to make sure the machines can't remote in to any of their tech.

While they contributed, they were still following the market trend anyway. If they weren't letting folks use it directly, other companies would have (and are).

The wording is certainly confusing here, but yes the calories don’t matter as much as the form. Eating protein and fats simply give you minimal useful calories during the race. Even most carbs won’t be useful if they are more complex.

That’s the joy of 3d printing. You can adapt these to any adapter if you need it.

Obligatory “have Claude write one for you” (in jest of course). All kidding aside, folks have always underestimated how much accessibility helps even those who don’t think they need it.

Probably depends on the individual. Senior developer here and I've always offloaded boilerplate and other "easy to google" things to search engines and now AI. Just how my brain and memory work. Anything I haven't used recently isn't worth keeping (in my subconscious mind's opinion anyway).

It’s not a lie, nor a damn lie. It’s statistics!

Article covers that briefly.
