I want to see this supposed system...

bipartisan graft ftw

A shining example of incumbent unions failing their members, and their members taking matters into their own hands by rejecting union suggestions.

This is a very Lisper objection. The thing is a token predictor, and can't count levels of depth.

Think "autistic junior engineer, whose work needs lots of testing but is also prolific at writing tests" instead of "Godlike text generator", it's much more productive.

Don't have kids! Easy, done.

Absurdly long pieces about utterly irrelevant pieces are the norm from the Grey Lady these days.

I remember my early research classes (~2001), when they were upheld by my teachers to be the creme de la creme of publications. My how times have changed.

And doesn't quite cover us folks stuck with a single income.

Don't worry: Apples desktop quality is degrading so quickly it will be The Year of Linux on the Desktop by the end of the decade!

It's not that Linux on the desktop is closing the gap to Windows and MacOS, but that the latter two are aggressively shitting in the wine and gaslighting long-term users about the incredible improvements delivered every year. See: multi-monitor support, display management in general, window management, the accursed Spaces conceits, relocation of menubar toggles for sound and Bluetooth every OS release, pointless shuffling of the Settings app every release, comical degradation of iTunes over time... the list goes on.

My kids are coming up on Linux, and are never going to have the hallowed halls of 10.6 to look back on fondly.

It's sad, but every year I feel in a new way that we're merely strolling through a once-glorious cathedral built and abandoned by great engineers from a different era.

I felt this way at Google ~5 years ago, and left as soon as I could slip the golden handcuffs.

This particular pearl-clutching trigger always comes down to "poor people with poor ventilation in their kitchens", which is a banal conclusion and so obviously not newsworthy.

I'm not entirely certain what submarine captain is committed to eradicating natural gas stoves (probably some assumed angle around smearing natgas in the name of reducing emissions.

All of that notwithstanding, this article fails my spam filters on the basis of "think of the children!"

My homeland's staunch commitment to fighting the last war, and to doling out eye-watering budgets to defense contractors whose business model is to charge as much as possible while delivering as little as possible leaves me in despair some days.

Wall Street records all calls. Has forever, since long before storage was cheap.

A nuance is perhaps lost, I'm not saying don't do it, merely that simplistic messaging feeds into the binary crisis.

This attitude of imposing pain that maps trivially to regressive taxation on lower- and middle-class voters is not a good look for the green left.

> You can argue about productivity and “progress” all you like, but none of that will raise you back into my good opinion.

Good thing I don't particularly care about this rando's opinions of me!

Skateboarding on the moon is going to /killllll/.

This piece may not be AI-generated, but it sure fails to rise above the quality of AI writing.

And the elite are shocked, shocked! To learn we don't trust their shamans.

One should definitely not worry that Flutter is drag in the water. One should draw a conclusion based on past performance (being the best predictor of future behavior) that Flutter will at some unknowable point in the future be dead in the water.

Managing the risk of that impact to projects is of course each individual engineers business and responsibility.

I think that you've cottoned on to my sometimes oblique humor!

To be fair (to be faairrrrr), Communism's embedded contradictions flamed it out significantly faster than capitalisms has.

There are 2 things that (for me at least) make exercise a core component of weight control:

1) When I lose abdominal tone, I can eat way more food before my satiety signals start firing. I screwed myself early in life by hoovering up as much of every meal as I could until I was physically uncomfortable, and that was my signal to stop eating. When I have good core tone, it's physically harder to distend my gut to pack more food in (I'm 5'6", so the smaller intestinal cavity may have a greater impact for my tiny ass).

2) The more muscle mass I'm carrying, in combination with better cardio capabilities, the greater caloric burn I can effect in the same amount of time, and the greater duration of energy output I can sustain.

My current exercise regime is a mix of kettlebells and heavy mace for strength training, and skating in the mini ramp in my backyard. 20 minutes of continuous moving of a kettlebell or heavy mace dynamically is an excellent conditioning routine on its own, and combine that with another 45 minutes of rock-to-fakie, tail stall, fakie-rock, 50-50s, 180s, backside disasters, and of course kickflips in the mini ramp all add up to a ridiculous caloric load and demand that the whole body be firing coherently at the same time.

I strongly recommend transition skateboarding for cardio, but I don't think many people are physically capable of it (although I only picked it up in my early thirties, so it's not necessary to have been doing it your whole life to get good mileage out of the sport later in life).

Just that there's something in the water there.

In fairness, there's plenty in the water most places.

If only morals were universal...

People love to blame "capitalism" because they've never learned about "regulatory capture".

There's a missing perspective on the global governance bodies, that everything is born, matures, ossifies, is outcompeted, and dies.

Alligators and cockroaches perhaps the exception, but are those models for a life well lived?

Well he's from Australia, the same country that's attempting global content takedowns vs. Twitter.

For anyone otherwise accustomed to vehicles that even at 5% of capacity can be refilled within 5 minutes once a petrocharger's been found, the suggestion to check the charge level is risible.

This has gotta be the ultimate EV gaslighting I've ever seen. You're clearly not doing EV right, GP!

Ahhh yeah my adblocker for broadcast is to just not display that particular vector.
