So, they left a bucket of water to stagnate next to a bus stop?

Worked in two factories since Covid. The first stockpiled components we produced in house, and relied in JIT logistics for external components. Which was basically the stupidest arrangement they could have cone up with. They had 10+ years worth of parts they could make in house, clogging up their warehouse. And couldn’t ship anything because they were waiting on suppliers.

The other built two new warehouses to stockpile external supplies, and never let up on production.

This doesn’t sound bad at all. This sounds like someone other than Google will be able to have a meaningful affect on web development.

I’ve heard this song before. Lordstown Motors, for example.

If they can get some trucks rolling out the door, I’ll get interested real quick.

Womp womp.

“Won’t someone think of the children?”

NO.

Zero-day exploits are security holes that exist and are used by bad actors, but aren’t yet known to you, or anyone capable of closing the hole. The clock to patch the hole doesn’t start running until the exploit is known: it stands at zero days until the good guys know it exists.

What zero-day exploits exist for ssh?

By definition, you don’t know. So, you block root login, and hope the bad actor doesn’t also know a zero-day for sudo.

Nah, I’ll just use my “Tariff Dividend” check when Trump writes it. China will pay for it.

That would be the first iPhone I’d actually buy.

“Fair Use” doesnt even enter into the equation: copyright protects distribution, not reception. It is illegal to send the data; it is not illegal to receive it. It is not illegal to read something you didn’t pay for. It may have been illegal for someone to provide you with that content, and it may be illegal for you to share that content with others, but it is not illegal for you to receive it and to read it.

It is the copyright-trolling “you wouldn’t download a car” types that have spread the propaganda that downloading is somehow illegal. It is not. Uploading is the illegal part: distributing without permission is the violation of copyright. There is nothing illegal in asking for a copy, nor in receiving an unauthorized copy.

Don’t let the zealotry against AI lead you to fight against your own interests.

Because the only thing worse than self driving is human driving.

This transfers money from the advertiser to the advertising agency, without creating a sale for the advertiser. This devalues the services of the agency.

I discovered a simple upgrade for the infotainment systems in most cars. The screens work perfectly well with either suction or adhesive-mount phone holders.

Even the shittiest phone is a major upgrade compared to any built-in infotainment system.

I didn’t even know I needed to edit my prompt, but now I don’t know how I have lived with it for so long.

The hurdle to this kind of fast charging isn’t the tech in the car nor is it the tech in the charger. It’s powering the fucking things.

Agreed.

would require a nuclear reactor sitting out back to supply the required 1.2 Megawatts of power!

Eh…

At 5 minutes a car, each charger would be able to accommodate 12 cars per hour. The 12-charger station, fed by that nuclear reactor, would be able to handle 144 per hour.

A typical gas station that size has an 8500 gallon tank, and refills 2-5 times per week. That amount of fuel will serve somewhere between 1000 to 3000 cars per week, or about 6 to 18 cars per hour.

This doesn’t call for a nuclear reactor at the station. This calls for a sufficiently large battery pack at each station that can “trickle” charge continuously. I say “trickle” - if I did my math right, it would be about as much power as 15 hot tubs or 60 water heaters. About as much as a grocery store, with all its freezers, refrigerators, lights, HVAC, etc.

Certainly a lot of power, but certainly not outside the realm of possibility. On-site solar installations could offset a significant percentage of that demand.

It was designed to intentionally slow down

This myth is one of my pet peeves. The rate of typing was not the cause of jamming.

The proximity of sequential typebars was the problem. Two adjacent typebars pressed simultaneously would jam at the very beginning of their stroke. To type adjacent keys, the first key would have to retract completely before the second key could start to be pressed. Otherwise, they struck eachother in flight.

Put 3 or 4 bars between sequential letters, and their “flight” paths only intersect at the very end of their strokes: you can start pressing the second key before the first has even hit the paper, because it will bounce out of the way before the second one gets close. QWERTY enabled good typists to have three or four typebars “in flight” simultaneously, greatly increasing their rate of typing.

QWERTY wasn’t designed to slow down typists. It enabled them to type much faster.

Your conclusions are correct, of course: It’s not great for modern devices where keystrokes don’t interfere with eachother. It’s just the oft-repeated “intentionally slow down typists” claim that drives me nuts.

It’s even dumber than expecting you can have a child from anal sex.

I’m not nearly as sure of this today as I was before the election.

Posted, commented, or voted on by members of your instance, without counting what the rest of the fediverse is doing with it.

They are on reddthat.com. “Local” would show them posts from reddthat.com communities; it would not show them posts from lemmy.world communities.

Suppose a post on a lemmy.world community is downvoted by the fediverse in general. However, that same post is highly popular among reddthat.com users, for whatever reason.

This user would like that post to appear high in reddthat.com/all, even though it would not appear high on lemmy.world/all.

The idea is kinda interesting. “all” is not the right category for it, but the idea of instance-peer curation has merit.
