It's (probably) sarcasm.
This is your statement.
They "don't even matter". It's not pragmatic to care about panel gaps. It doesn't matter.
That is what you are stating, that isn't me misquoting or being malicious, they're your words!
If you meant to instead say "There are diminishing returns to reduce panel gap size, and Tesla have got it right!", then I agree with the first statement, disagree with the second, but best of all it clarifies your point. Cheers!
Seems pragmatic to me to care about it.
I don't think we'll ever be forced into buying these ridiculous computers with cars attached.
My current manufacturer of choice is Honda, but I'm sure they'll end up adding this cruft at some point to their future cars, too.
I personally believe this too, which is why I think there is a legitimate case for advertisers to give audiences the ability to opt-out of advertising. Some of us hate adverts so much it puts us off the product you are advertising. I know it does for me. It's probably better for your company not to advertise to me, or people like me.
I don't remember _any_ political discuss on the various warez forums I was on (nxsecure anyone?). Flame wars were a thing, no doubt, but it wasn't this already formed opinion where you've picked a side and now anyone on the other side is a bad guy. It is completely bizarre.
We actually have this issue in our 6 year old office, so not exactly old electrics. Running laptops off non-grounded plugs causes that typical "vibration" / buzzing feeling throughout the chassis of the laptop.
Man getting paid to spy on people complains about not being able to spy on people and uses the tried and tested "think of the children!" angle. Classic.
Anecdotally, my best experiences have been with older programmers. I worked with a guy in his 60s who had some absolutely incredible personal stories to tell (he hitchhiked from Europe to India in the 70s...) but also a wealth of previous knowledge from his decades in the industry. He'd seen a lot, but still had an attitude to learninng (he was writing node.js, ES2020, all the modern gubbins, promises, maps, etc).
I think it's more to do with you as a person. Are you willing to keep studying and learning for the rest of your career? Even if you're not, there will probably be a slew of jobs that are fine for someone who has already "peaked".
TL;DR: I don't believe so
Asking people to listen but then they can't input is something I find incredibly arrogant, egotistical, selfish, basically it's a terrible human trait and I'm surprised there are so many apologists in this thread that defend this kind of behaviour.
Again, I'm not talking about off the cuff "how was your day" "oh my angina is playing up again" "WELL THEN YOU SHOULD DO THIS AND THAT" kinds of conversations... I think that is obvious.
I mean the 30 minute ones where someone is sounding off to you about their problems. Yeah, I am going to give you "advice" (as in, this is a problem lets figure out how to solve it). I'm genuinely surprised this is seen as A Bad Thing. Especially given our community is one of hackers and yanno, people who get hired to solve problems...
That's the crux. It turns out people just want to be free to whinge about their issues without doing anything about it.
That's fine, but don't talk to me about it, then. At the very least, tell me that you just want to whinge.
Edit: Obviously this is to my friends and family. If I got talking to a stranger at a bus stop and they told me about how their arthiritis was giving them gyp this morning I would be sympathetic, I wouldn't tell them to do more stretches and eat more fish. Assume my comment is with good intentions, please.
If you want to live in a heavily-moderated place and you'll blindly accept while you are fed what the latest ever-changing Truth is (even if it contradicts what came previously, even if it contradicts logic, reason or scientific understanding), then go wild.
I don't agree with parent's takes, but calling them "stupid" is needlessly derisive.
Some people don't like this, that shouldn't be seen as a Bad Thing.
Deploying it? `aws cloudformation package -> aws cloudformation deploy`. That's it. No need for third party tooling or other madness.
I think the lack of understanding the fundamentals leads people to picking up tools that abstract the fundamentals away (but then leads to more complex solutions).
Usually any game that has procedural elements & permadeath now becomes labelled "roguelike" or "roguelite" by the community, depending.
I'm still a snob about it, to me roguelikes are nethack, ADOM, even newer games like Cogmind and Caves of Qud are roguelikes, but to me, FTL is not.
What attitude? I'm giving a slight jab at your complaints. You're a volunteer and you have power over others, of course you should be scrutinised! That's the _correct_ attitude to have. I'm not a fan of pockets of humanity where autocratic-leaning individuals want to exercise their power over others, but if we do, then you should be held absolutely accountable.
I don't need that level of power over other people to feel fulfilled in life, so I don't do it.
I grew up with a chest freezer in my house as a child. I never had any problems with it as a kid, I didn't need to get kilos of meat out of it, because I was a child and my parents cooked food for me. It doubled up as a kitchen countertop, but you'd have to keep it clear or you couldn't use it, which is a usability shit.
Did you? Tell me about your experience.
I'll say the real issues with chest freezers is that unless you design your kitchen around them they end up taking more space.
The best use IMHO for a chest freezer is for long-term storage of food that you occasionally need to use. I know people who use them for storing extra food, they buy huge amounts in bulk and even running the freezer 24/7 they save a lot of food money doing this. Most people (myself included) probably don't have the luxury of space.
> I feel my comment was just a response to the article text. Particularly the paragraph stating: "So - WHY mediocre food-spoiling fridges are being made? WHO makes decisions to manufacture them? Who awards them "stars" and other misleading awards? Why people continue to buy and use energy wasting and food-spoiling devices? Does anyone care about understanding anything?"
Yeah, the article in question is short sighted and I disagree with many of the points the author makes. Usually I'll quote the text I'm responding to, instead of the article in general. This makes it less likely for some random internet nob head to come along and misinterpret what you're saying ;).
> I would like all fridges to be as efficient as chest fridges medium houses, elderly people, families, disabled people, short people and people who can never remember what they have in their fridge.
No, I disagree
> I think they are impractical for small houses
Yes, I agree
> I think they are a niche product that is only suitable for a tiny proportion of people.
Yes, I agree
*But they're still useful!*
For individual use, sure they're a tiny proportion, but what about industrial use, catering?
They're useful for specific situations and poo-pooing them _ENTIRELY_ because of some issues is a short sighted approach that I see EVERYWHERE in real life and online, and it boggles my mind.
You can say your post doesn't say they're useless for everyone, but I would say it heavily implies it.
> PS. On a personal note my quick comment seems to have stressed you out so I'll endeavour to write clear non-gear grinding comments
You shouldn't change how you write because I took umbrage with it, that's an issue with the internet today, don't change who you are just because some arsehole online didn't like what you wrote!
> and you should probably get off the internet for a bit
You should probably stop telling people what to do.
If that's not what you're stating, then what _are_ you stating? I don't get it.
