Tesla somehow manages to do well(at least prior to the nazi events). Still at a good price in Norway.

But all other manufacturers have dragged their feet with EVs, and that price cost of starting is large enough that they are in trouble. I’m not a huge fan of China, but they did the investment and are ahead exactly because of that (and crazy subsidies). Being left behind is their own fault imo, and I think that applies a lot to EU as well. Eg. WV.

Code normally works fine after you write it and then hopefully at least test by hand. The new guy 5 years later, which do not fully grasp the extent of his actions, and the guy reviewing the code also not being too familiar with it, will not make sure everything does as intended.

Tests are correctness guarantees, and requires the code and/or the test to change to pass. They also explain how something should behave to people that don’t know. I work in a area where there are so many businesses rules that there is no one person that knows all of it, and capturing the rules as tests is a great way to make sure that rules remains true after someone else comes to change the code.

In modern games, I think it’s fairly common to have a common 3d skeletons share names. So you can make animations like the one above apply to any character even if they have differences. It doesn’t mean that dog extends human, but it may mean that a dog model shares a lot of common “bones”, that are used for movement, with a human model.

So when a human animation is applied to the dog, you can see it warp to start position of the animation, move, and then then stop at the end position as a standing human, before warping back to idle animation (when it turns back into the dog shape)

Related, weapons in Destiny also share the same components across weapon types, and bugs have caused one weapon type to be used for another weapon, making funny things happen. Like how a hand canon (pistol) stretches like a bow because it’s model got used in place of the bow model at the start of this clip:

I know my product managers don’t use chatGTP because they end all sentences with ... , every damn time. And I’m fairly sure their habit developed independently, given that one of them is from a relatively recent purchase of a company.

"".to_string() probably

I feel this is related, and hightlight this even further, look at all the ways to initialize something in C++.

If you are really lazy, have a look at making an int at around 7:20. It’s not horrible that alone, but it does show how many meanings each thing has with very little difference, added on top of years of legacy compatability accumulation. Then it further goes into detail about the auto use, and how parantheses, bracket, squiggly bracket all can be used and help with the mess.

None of those issues for my main IDE, though Rider on some occasions do get stuck marking some spelling errors after they are fixed.

It has stuttered a few times, but pretty rare. But it does have a bug where it think it is building a project, but isn’t. And requires a restart to fix… Easy to trigger if you try building a project while it’s loading the project…

Visual Stuido with Resharper is the one where things would randomly stop working though. Especially hotkeys would sometimes stop working until I restarted it. Slow and stutter too.

I’d expect modern cars to use proximity detection which means the fob only needs to be with you.

Like my Peguot has a fairly large fob, but it’s just in the pocket of my jacket. Never leaves it. I guess it’s a problem if you don’t have a semi permanent thing like a jacket you use every day though.

My solution to most things, make it a chore.

Like, if you don’t buy it, you can’t drink it. If you have it, put it in an inconvenient place so you you won’t see it or bother getting it.

It probably makes sense if the program they came from is a badcase, but at least ours don’t go over board. It’s always a “you are probably doing something wrong, but we will allow it if you want to” or a “please confirm you want to do this thing that may have huge consequences”. With what they were learning, they were not touching anything related to the latter. So they probably were doing something wrong.

I was on-site for users learning our new program. Watched them do something, a dialog came up, and faster then i could catch what it was, they closed it. Dialogs are warnings or confirmations you know, and they did not know what it was…

So yeah, sometimes I do think there should be a wait time on the OK button.

I’m not saying there will be mass deportation, indefinite detainment, and possibly executions of unwanted people, but they sure are lining up for it. For example ramping up execution of sexual predators, while at the same time labelling LGBT and drag as being predators, just for existing near children…

Like if Elon is a nazi, then we may very well see a DOGE squad hunt down “un-American” people in the darkest timeline.

I guess I should be happy I applied a work discount, which extended my subscription until Oktober 2026 or something.

Thanks, I figured I was missing some connection.

Unsure if a joke or not, but in the event of a serious question:

scrum masters are heads of scrum teams, their main purpose is facilitating good work conditions for the workers in the team. This generally means arranging and leading typical scrum meetings, helping workers do their job and shielding them from the Production Owner (the guy that decides what they are to make/deliver during a sprint . (sprints are 2-3 weeks long, where work is done according to a selection done at the start of the sprint and interruptions are kept low during that time.)

I don’t want to say that it’s an easy roles, but it’s more a management type of role than a worker role. In my team the scrum master is also doing development work, since scrum master tasks alone aren’t that huge with the way we do things.

I use Taiga for tracking anime, and it can auto download torrents, my torrent client can auto add torrents downloaded by taiga. For airing stuff I don’t auto download things using taiga though, as it will usually take the first and best torrent it finds, so I opt to just check what’s foud and double click the matches when they are the right version.

How do you view diffs and merges when you say you don’t use git GUIs? External tool or terminal/command line?

I use Jetbrains IDEs and most of my life has been IDE based git interaction. And I honestly love it, easy access to see my diffs, the most common commit, push and stage(or shelve as Jetbrains does it, which is better than visual studio). Hassle free and available beats writing anything to me.

My own disks won’t survive the house burning down, and while obviously feasible, aren’t accessible when I’m not home. I don’t need it often, but sometimes I do. But the extra safety of a cloud disk is nice.

Just got reminded of the silencer gun battle scene in one of the John Wick movies. That was perhaps the most unrealistic thing I’d seen in those.

What do you think the effective power generation and heat production is for whatever that reactor is producing, when not in a suit?

If memory serves correctly, the entire outer shell is a round metal cylinder, so that’s a fairly large surface area to transfer heat to the body. Tony might not need winter clothes if he’s got a portable heater in the chest.
