mrna vaccine had big “breakthroughs” during the 80s and 90s and yet it took quite a while for it to be a viable thing. some things take time and some things never pan out past the in a pitri dish stage.

it is a opensource-crime to opensource something with a ui and not have a single screenshot of what the thing actually is.

how repairable is such a design?

I installed doom emacs to get magit because i don't use emacs anymore other than magit and i wanted fast startup and no config. it's worth it to me.

they aren't a russian company. they were founded in the czech republic... they may have been a country that was aligned ideologically with the ussr during the cold war but that's not the same as being russian.

all you have to look at is the number of russian oligarchs being defenstrated since the invasion began to know that if it served russian aims to inject malware into the kernel somehow via their maintainers it would probably be tried. the maintainers are probably not oligarch level rich so imagine the pressure on them if needed.

they are lightweight tabs that contain the execution environment to one domain in which cookies and other tracking things are shared. you can log into a gmail account in one and another gmail account in another one. the shared thing between all the containers is the profile settings like extensions and other network settings.

gitkraken is nice yeah. it's nowhere near the efficiency of magit imo. git is like ed. magit is like vim. gitkraken is more like maybe word? does everything you want has a nice clickable gui but it is not quite as efficient to use.

I'm not sure your point? I am advocating for magit/a text editor plugin. git itself is not a TUI either like say lazygit is one. if someone were to rip out everything except magit and throw it into a TUI I'd be down to use it but as it is I only use emacs for magit because magit is just that good.

> I use git on the CLI 99.9% of the time. I never used a GUI for git and don’t see a reason to.

Nobody needs a gui for git or a text editor but using magit is like a superpower compared to the command line. It is probably the best piece of software i've ever used. you can even drop down to the command line git inside of it if you need. i don't understand why anyone would prefer the cli over it.

yeah the system is constantly calculating velocities and positions in 3d space. there's a traffic advisory portion where it tells the pilots to be aware of traffic nearby and there's a resolution advisory which tells the pilots exactly what to do and at what rate. commercial pilots practice that in the sim extensively. the faa made having ads-b out mandatory for all aircraft some time ago which helps the planes see each other so the commercial one knew exactly where the smaller plane was. (though you can shut the device off or it could be malfunctioning but it wasn't here)

don't the planes know where the other is based on the fact that the tcas is yelling at them in the first place? easy enough to tell them to pull up if it knows they are below them.

the tools are durable and will last a very long time unless you're buying poorly made items and treating them poorly. you can save a few hundred dollars by buying a 15 dollar capacitor off amazon and a 11 in one multi purpose screw driver to fix your ac unit that doesn't startup. (very common fix for a very common issue) all you need is knowledge and a few bucks in parts and tools.

for good reason. I strongly disagree that what you say is a good thing. you are describing a failure of the javascript ecosystem as a whole where pulling in a package for some trivial(leftpad) task is seen as a good thing and that having incompatible versions of them being able to be installed at the same time is a good thing instead of an indictment on the system. I stand by my statement that they have made the wrong decision at ever step.

i’ve said before that it’s like the npm people have made the worst possible design choice whenever asked for a decision. it’s insane how bad it is compared to bundler or comparable package management tools.

because the voice chat function is so leaps and bounds better than anything out there and it was primarily used for that to game in real time. the text was an afterthought for gamers.

they already do this regularly. just instead of driving it off the road they ram it with their vehicles off the road. edit: or if there's time they will tow it.

> I wonder if for a public provider if the incentives are better.

should be generally. the NHS in england was viewed more favorably than the queen and they loved the queen.

considering most cash has traces of cocaine on it they probably don't need to train them hard.

at least it's still possible (and maybe more accessible) if not a bit more inconvenient. the ctrl-click thing was kinda a hidden feature.

> I take your point, but also get why people might have viscerally negative opinions about this particular subject?

I don't think it's just the fact that his videos are expensive click bait where he throws money around... it's the fact that he has some very shady, borderline illegal(maybe actually illegal?) practices. the livestream marketing the chocolate to children to win entries into giveaways that he then scrubs from the internet are probably not legal is one example. there are a few videos on how scummy he is. I think the visceral reaction to him as some kind of genius is warranted.

that said the pdf has some nuggets of wisdom even if it's from a tainted source.

boeing isn’t a company the us government will let fail. it’s too important to have as a domestic ability.

yeah i fully understand that but his trademark was way too generic in the first place. used for a long time before that. i have the same issue with backcountry dot com over the widely used term backcountry before they named themselves backcountry... it’s scummy.

he’s also reportedly a jerk to his staff and yells at them. and sues mom and pop shops for using his trademark of a really generic term... something like spicy chili oil or very similar.

they do mention that it’s is good to have both. also using a newer uuid version that is more sortable temporally is also wise.

> Use regular bigserial (64bit) PKs for internal table relations and UUIDs (128bit) for application-level identifiers and natural keys. Your database will be very happy!

structured text is about the best thing you are going to get in the plc world. it's kinda bad and has a ton of quirks but it's alright.

ladder logic is painful but works pretty reliably and probably the easiest to learn.

depends on what you want to do and what you're familiar with. in all PLC is a different programming paradigm than you are used to.

the simplest and cheapest way to get into it is probably automation direct stuff or maybe the arduino pro stuff.

fair enough. misread your comment

you should note that a gas engine does not convert all that 33kWh of energy into mechanical energy. a gasoline engine has about a 25% conversion into mechanical energy. https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/atv.shtml . diesel might be a bit better than a car but it's city driving by nature.

just heat alone is the largest waste product in a car or truck

not to be confused with the original defrag game mode https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeFRaG

> The ideas espoused in The Design of Everyday Things[0] pops into mind right now.

the unfortunate reality of touch screens is that there are no affordances for things that can't be seen. design of everyday things goes over stuff like never put a pull handle on a push door kinda things. i think having to go to an app for some things is somewhat reasonable given the ui size constraints and only having so much touchable area... most of the functionality is there and self evident without an app.
