  • The large wheel next to the cabin is also messed up. It means the cabin must be smaller than the track width, since the cabin is squized inbetween the wheels. But in reality the cabin is always wider then the wheel base.

  • I agree that the lines look sharp, but the composition makes no sense. The giant wheel next to the cabin is just weird. Why is the wheel bigger? And why is the cabin not wider than the track width? This looks like a tractor, not a locomotive. The steam is comming from the coal storage, but not from the engine. And why does the coal storage have a chimney anyway? Then there are the weirdly shaped coupling rods. These mistakes make no sense in the context of a steam locomotive, but they look plausable. I'm no AI expert, but it certainly is a weird looking steam locomotive.

    ...

    I'm starting to think this was designed wrong intentionally. What better way to farm engagement then to wrongly draw a train in a meme about autism, on Lemmy?

  • Wacht ff. Er zijn kampioenschappen voor het beSTUREN van een apparaat op rails?

  • I have noticed a back and forth in engineering companies between prioritizing project teams, who focus on a single customer each, and product teams who focus on generic development, overarching the individual projects.

    Upper management will see that a lot of products are sold (each sale is a project), and the company now actually has to deliver projects. So product teams are ripped up, and everyone is dedicated to specific projects, because making these deadlines is the most essential thing in the known universe.

    A couple of years later, they hire expensive consultants to tell them how to optimize their business. These consultants will note (after simply asking the engineers) that there is a lot of development being done many times over, once for each project. So the entire organisation is optimized by ripping up the project teams, and placing the engineers in product teams.

    The result is a new standardized product, of which the company can sell a lot, which eventually brings us back to step 1.

    A good company will realise that going 200% into 1 direction will make it way harder to steer back once the inevitable pull into the other direction arrives. So a more temperate approach, tends to win in the long term. But explaing that to a manager is usually a waste of your time.

  • Best do that with something that hides the taste well. Maybe create a drink so aggressive that it might as well be a cleaning product. Just add some caramel to paint the whole thing black and you're good to go. People will love you coca product.

  • NOoo, not both!!! If we do that immediately, the episode will be over before Jeffrey Combs has even shown up.

  • I agree that they should use something sturdier. But do note that bricks won't survive entirely either. Brick walls can withstand the wind itself, but won't do well against large chunks of debree flying into them at significant speeds.

  • What is apart from it being rich white right-wing men? What is he saying here? Do they mean "a part", which completely changes the meaning of the sentence?

  • If an actor studies all data available on your grandma, manages to mimic her voice and looks, and then starts a conversation with you, acting as your grandma; are you then talking to a ghost? Cause that is what an AI does: learn to predict the behaviour of your grandma, and then act out those predictions.

  • I have barely any experience with raw gdb, but debugging is something that allows for a lot of contextual actions. Even just placing a breakpoint is simpler if you can click the line instead of copy-pasting the line number. But also evaluating expresssions while on a breakpoint, or a graph with an overview of all threads. I doubt these are straight-forward commands in gdb, and if they are, you need to figure out the exact parameters (like line number).

    Furthermore, I have tried raw gdb once, and got super confused as to what I was supposed to do or look at. Yet every IDE makes it trivial to use debuggers. Learning the options available to you is much easier in a well designed GUI.

  • GUIs just being front-ends for a CLI tool is a horrible idea. This is why most git GUIs fail so terribly. I have seen too many of those where all the buttons were just replacements for CLI calls. If it is just a front-end for a CLI, then why the heck not just use the CLI?

    A good git GUI has not been designed to just wrap the CLI. Instead, it works with the structure of git (commits, branches, tags, etc), and builds around those from the ground up. Only once the functionality has been designed should the question arise: What CLI commands do we need to implement this?

  • I remember using mumble in a time when smartphones weren't even a thing yet. Love to see the open source tool outlive everything else!

  • I fully agree. I also think it is a terrible way of improving the number of children. And they should focus on improving conditions for the poorest half of the population a lot more.

    But that doesn't mean I think the idea is so abhorent that I would be insulted by receiving the letter. (Ok, I personally would, but that is because I'm not a woman.) I'm fine with them sending the letter. Heck, pointing out free healthcare options is great! By all means: let women know what their options are.

  • Do you not want to be notified about free healthcare options available to you? Because if you ignore the ragebait headline and filter the article for its rage potential, the following quote explains it pretty nicely:

    "The letter is being sent to 29-year-olds because women are able to have their eggs frozen at that age without a medical certificate. Women will also be reminded that social security in France covers the cost of freezing eggs for women between 29 and 37. "

    So woman are being told how to keep the option for kids open for longer. That is quite the opposite of pressuring them into anything if you ask me.

  • I'd argue that it may not happen for individuals. But our DNA? Our culture? Or knowledge? I'm pretty sure these things will travel the stars one day.

  • Don't forget to slow blink at the kitty and look away for a bit every now and then.

  • The Dutch royal family has exactly one job: poster child. So, yeah. That is literally the idea here. Unify by setting an example.

  • Since google is blocked, google maps is also blocked. Hence, make sure to have a good alternative available. Bing maps, Apple maps, or OSM.

  • My guess is that he is a DnD player that has to flash out the background of his character, so the DM can start using characters from his background.
