weaksauce··on Tesla Cybertruck Drives Itself into a Pole, Owner Says 'Thank You Tesla'
how is this not a cult? if a toyota or mercedes car veered off into a light pole would they write the same tweets?

unless this is sarcasm that can, at best in the current times, be construed as serious.

weaksauce··on Scotland's first 'enclosed' salmon farm to open on Loch Long
I assume they ban the use of open net and not something like this which reduces the harms of the open net style. concentrating the excrement on the bottom of the floor being a big one and polluting the sea with lice treatments being another one.

cool workflow... is this documented anywhere?

this is not a good change.

> then wouldn't they want to spread the info and blame it on the "dirty illegals" or whatever?

pretty sure the ideology is to remove every social safety net and service to "prove" government doesn't work and then the robber barons can swoop in and make it a paid service... and make it so the capital class gets to make and save more money as they can afford to buy any of those services that were cut. it's basically vulture economics but at the nation scale. it's not great.

weaksauce··on The Mythical IO-Bound Rails App
why does the java application/postgres output the id instead of omitting it in the first place?
weaksauce··on George R.R. Martin has co-authored a physics paper
that's an insane amount of money if it's accurate. wonder why they couldn't just negotiate with hbo to let them free and have someone else do their part.
weaksauce··on George R.R. Martin has co-authored a physics paper
what's funny is that, from what i recall hearing, the creative forces behind the tv show essentially got bored with the show and crammed a ton of stuff into season 8 and kinda just phoned it in. iirc hbo was willing for one or two more seasons after 8

weaksauce··on Allstate used GasBuddy and other apps to track driving behavior: lawsuit
as another commenter said, they lose money on the policies and paying out. they make money on investing the policies before they have to pay out the claims.

what data? if i let a passenger use my phone to check something while i’m driving this will negatively impact me.
weaksauce··on Why the Getty Center Is the Safest Place for Art During a Fire (2019)
the cost would be enormous. it’s in an earthquake zone and it needs to withstand that. there’s already way too few houses for people at a reasonable cost. they’ve already evacuated and only a handful of lives have been lost to the people that stayed behind. it’s not normal santa ana winds it’s the hardest winds i’ve seen here in decades... probably 100 years or more. people are the important thing here.
weaksauce··on Luigi Mangione's account has been renamed on Stack Overflow
> vigilante justice (especially against nonviolent offenders) is wrong.

is it non-violent when they wield the system in a way to cause immense harm to the point where they are prolific killers indirectly and maybe even straight up directly? 90+ percent error rates in the AI that united used to deny claims is a violence. they denied 30+ percent of all claims.

weaksauce··on Can LLMs write better code if you keep asking them to “write better code”?
you could maybe test that with many comments describing a false approach.
weaksauce··on Rails for everything
I'm looking at the django admin interface and I see a very superficial admin interface. I am not sure why it's so lauded when the rails scaffold gives you 90% of that out of the box albeit in a style neutral way which is easy enough to gemify. are aesthetics what people are so craving for this? there's no search. nothing that stands out as a killer admin panel. I used to program django professionally around 2007ish and it doesn't seem like much has changed with the admin site... am i wrong?
weaksauce··on Rails for everything
try out https://github.com/lazaronixon/administration-zero

just a thing to install an admin generator scaffolds which you control fully after the fact. no magic just generators.

weaksauce··on Rails for everything
there's also administration-zero which is basically scaffolding for admin pages and would be similar to what they'd give you built in if they were to. they consider it outside the scope of rails' responsibility as scaffolding is so easy to make.

administration zero doesn't do much other than install a few gems, and include a scaffold that you can use to generate admin pages akin to django but you do get pagination and search and filters added on top. no magic though just rails scaffolds. https://github.com/lazaronixon/administration-zero

weaksauce··on Rails for everything
> The other glaring omission being an inbuilt admin interface -- which may have been added after I moved on.

with scaffolding and other rails generators with custom templates is that really a big asset? might not look amazing out of the box but you can find css templates easy enough too. maybe they should make an admin generator but rails is king of crud and if you need it ootb you can use one of the many gems.

weaksauce··on Jeju Air Jet Crashes in South Korea With Over 170 Dead or Missing
it wasn't the wall that got them actually it was the poorly designed ILS embankment that should have been ground level. but yeah you're right it is somewhat probable that it was two engines out as the evidence comes in
weaksauce··on Jeju Air Jet Crashes in South Korea With Over 170 Dead or Missing
the airplane is perfectly fine to continue flying for a while on one engine so their momentary shock should not have been an issue. they've trained extensively for this kind of scenario and should probably have gone around if the bird strike happened on final approach. like the other person said... the voice recorder almost certainly survived and will give more information as to the root cause.
weaksauce··on Jeju Air Jet Crashes in South Korea With Over 170 Dead or Missing
the aviation term(probably others) for it is task saturation and loss of situational awareness.
weaksauce··on Jeju Air Jet Crashes in South Korea With Over 170 Dead or Missing
it is quite improbable. they can deploy landing gears using gravity so unless the birds killed that system(they can't) it was probably pilot error. just like in pakistan in 2020 that destroyed the engines so they couldn't perform the go around and they crashed.
weaksauce··on Ruby 3.4.0
it makes ruby code faster than c ruby code so they are moving toward rewriting a lot of the core ruby stuff in ruby to take advantage of it. run time performance enhancing makes the language much faster.
weaksauce··on Ruby Video – On a mission to index all Ruby conferences
one thing you can do to make the speaker list more performant and seamless is to load the next list of speakers when the scroll gets to some value near the end of the list and also pull a few more speakers in each fetch.

they are also spearheading the ruby-lsp and rails-lsp gems and vscode extension which are in heavy development and getting better by the day.

it’s a shame that github, gitlab, airbnb et al aren’t doing more for the ruby ecosystem that they have benefitted from.

weaksauce··on The FDA Hasn't Inspected This Drug Factory After 7 Recalls for the Same Flaw
yes. i’ve seen the sausage being made. the quality of the factories making the drugs varies wildly. and the factories where the brand names make them are generally much higher quality in all respects.

edit not to mention the processes can be wildly different too as those are not part of the initial disclosure to get patent protections.

weaksauce··on Django and Postgres for the Busy Rails Developer
ruby-lsp and rails-lsp from shopify is pretty good right now and getting better by the day. the vscode extension handles it well too.

weaksauce··on Federal Court Says Dismantling a Phone to Install Firmware Isn't a 'Search'
“federal court decides that repairing a phone’s firmware during a period of lapsed warrants is not an unconstitutional search” maybe?
weaksauce··on Tesla has the highest fatal accident rate of all auto brands, study finds
not a repeat of 2016 at all. he's got every lever of the government at his disposal. stacked supreme court, three branches of government on his side. hiring the worst people for every job possible and hiring only for fealty to him.

this will be much worse than 2016.
