Lasers are magic for pre-Maxwell physicists

* provided that we can't overcome speed of light limit

I counter that with that we’ve got methods of developing relyable software and we’ve got examples of success. We’ve got all sorts of different tiers of testing and verification, we’ve got various CI/CD approaches and NASA seems to be landing one rover after another and flying an freaking helicopter on a freaking another planet, autonomously.

We’ve got the tools to explore unknowns.

Now, as to regulation. It could be written in a way that would relieve that “developer-of-record” out of responcibility provided they did their due diligence and, if new unknown happened that wasn’t foreseen the regulations will adapt and change and make a learning out of it, just like it was with building industry and road rules.

You guys are tiresome. 13% of sold handsets.

> That was intended as a rhetorical device to emphasize our buildings still crumble from earthquakes

When did a building in Tokio crumble from an earthquake last time? Long-long-long time ago for a place where earthquakes are almost daily experience.

The fact that US infrastracture is poorly designed and mantained does not say anything about our technology and capabilities, it only tells us that our social and political systems suck. In some places of that planet.

Somehow there’s no gap when people are hired for this positions externally and “money first” doctrine applies. I’m not going to spend my personal time and life on saving few bucks on hiring for some corp. If it is easier to change my job for a promotion, I’ll do that.

This is the thing I miss the most after leaving Russia. Coworking is too official and too committed this is basically like a coworking space with very casual atmospere and attendance.

Yes this. Best money I’ve ever spent on software

Not unless I'm getting paid or recognised in some other way for going extra mile.

More often than not no one (bug some rare customer probably) gives a damn about you going extra mile. Often it is actually punished, not directly but I've had plenty of examples when people instead of doing extra ventured into doing some fun shit for other teams and uh-oh, cross-team impact, here's your promotion while your actual team is struggling to get right the boring but actually money bringing stuff.

So no, money first please.

Thank you for asking instead of just downvoting, it is very valuable to me to be able to see how my message can convey different meaning from what I intended.

What I'm saying is that EU has means of causing negative consequence for Poland (and any other member) should they decide to engage into activities that are incompatible with EU values (like violating human rights, breaking trade agreements made by EU, etc).

If I Google “Poland lgbt law repeal eu money” the first link is https://www.npr.org/2021/09/28/1041112133/poland-anti-lgbt-r...

I’ll take unelected EU bureaucrat over elected Trump-like something any day.

> Poland not so much

Oh, EU has got ways to screw Poland all right, don’t you worry.

Like right now lots of local governments there are reverting certain anti-LGBT laws to get to EU grants or whatever it’s called.

When you need to register on a website, you can opt-in into a random email that is generated by Apple. Something like cooker-huskies0u@icloud.com. They then setup a relay that sends everything it receives to your email that is registered with your Apple Id. You can cancel any of those emails whenever and never hear from that website again. There's a similar offering from joint venture of Fastmail and 1Pawword if you're not into Apple.

Fast, small footprint, highly battery life friendly. Bunch of extensions. Extensions support on desktop and mobile. Trustworthy repository of extensions. Special ad-blocking extensions API that delivers high performance and does not require extensions access to content of the page. Tab-groups out-of-the-box. Read later feature that is synchronised across devices out of the box, no third party service required. Bunch of privacy protecting features. Apple's hide-my-email thingy built-in.

Done. Firefox's done.

What have you done? Now I'm sitting here through my sprint planning and poking that balloon.

> They just don't care.

Exactly this. I can easily imagine somewhere in some OS slack channel in Apple:

hardware dev: hey dear @channel we're breaking NVME spec in couple places and we're kinda running out of time to fix it, would be so kind to address it in you drivers if it's not too hard?

os guy: yeah, no worries those seem trivial, we can easily adjust.

hardware guy: cool, thanks a bunch.

You seem to be unaware that with a flip of a toggle Apple Music serves lossless to you.

I can agree that there should be no public flogging, provided it is first couple times. If it has been explained to the individual that certain behaviour is considered unprofessional and yet they insist on engaging in it then... well, there should be consequences.

I don’t see how oil is relevant to post offices closed and air traffic stopped due to COVID restrictions

Same, I find this joke to be inappropriate in professional settings. May be it doesn’t offend anyone or may be it does, you never know.

I am fairly conservative libertarian leaning guy made in Russia and even I find this kind of joke absolutely unacceptable in professional setting.

“Stack your stuff better” doesn’t sit well with soft mangoes and “just fold your seats” doesn’t sit well with children in child seats in the second row.

Practice is often different from theory.

Now having written that and looking at you user handle I realise that you might think that mangoes are firm and you can stack it.

Well, those firm mangoes you see in super markets are not ripe, they are green. Ripe mangoes we buy here in Australia are soft, you can damage them with you fingers and I would like to keep them for at least couple weeks.

I don't know about US but in Australia all SUVs are marked as "Wagon" in registration papers.

Leaf is a hatch back, a good alternative if you want to down size and not ready to go to SUV. For electric stuff I'm waiting Tesla to start delivering Model Y in Australia.

That's boot of my Subi Forester and that is not the fullest it is ever been. During mango season we even take a bit of passenger space. That box of oranges is was 5 AUDs btw.

Ford said that they stop producing cars for US market some time ago meaning that they’ll produce SUVs and trucks only.

As a family person that runs to fruit market every several weeks and brings back a boot load of fruits in boxes it is hard to understand how a sedan can suffice.

Having said that huge SUVs are overkill too, something like Subaru Forester/Outback or RAV-4 seems to be the sweet spot for people with less than 3 children. With 3 children you start looking at something with 3rd row of seats.

So you claim that it is lack of imagination that I don't want to install porn apps and receive notification spam from every website on the internet?

Also I don't see how can innovation be equated with support of PWA notifications and porn apps and launchers?

I did consider this. Having a single vendor is a risk factor. In my case it is mitigated by the fact that everything that is in their cloud is downloaded locally. Then it is backed up using time machine to my Synology and additionally syncthing also duplicates it there as simple files with history enabled. I believe our mitigated most of the risks. If I pull the router plug I'll still have access to my data. If my house burns down - I can download it from their cloud again.
