Who is your parties candidate?

Can I vote for obsfuscators not holding a language hostage?

Where I am the charging infrastructure is terrible and electricity prices are bad. I was considering a hybrid but I guess if it’s no better I’ll just grab a regular ICE

Is it a common theme to shit on people for not having rollied their own C implemtations or was that a one off lapse of judgment on their part?

I’m not God’s gift to the field, but I am clearly better than most of my competition - that is, practitioners who haven’t put in the reps to build their own C libraries in a cave with scraps, but can read textbooks and use libraries written by elite institutions.

I agree not reading isn’t a virtue, but after reading something that caused my eyes to roll entirely out of my skull, I had to choose to cut the damage to my optic nerves.

Maybe the rest was good. That was bad. My critique is constrained to that specific, nauseating paragraph.

You’re not a real data scientist unless you’ve written your own libraries in C??

I couldn’t get past the inferiority complex masquerading as a confident appeal to authority.

Maybe the rest of the article was good but the taste of vomit wasn’t worth it to me.

Crime, boy… I don’t know

Here, take this cigarette!

Sure, but you can stack courts with judges who could do things like turn a blind eye to jury intimidation.

And like, do we know anyone who would doxx jurors and ask to the violent masses “won’t someone rid me of this turbulent priest?” Or who would stack judges?

A would-be dictator is the exact thing the founding fathers built a constitution to protect against, and this design is no accident. A popular candidate can’t be sidelined by a dictator.

Their failing was that they vastly overestimated the competency of the electorate, and the competency of the electorate was what their imagined vaccine against dictatorship was. Without it, the entire concept of democracy kinda falls apart.

The real acronym for multiple personalities disorder. It spiked in popularity in 2021-22.

I think if society is putting “normal” on a pedestal, admiring and adoring that “trait”, that’s what a narcissist will want to be viewed as, and would fight any statement suggesting the contrary.

In the last decade, I’d say that there have been plenty of examples of social media elevating and celebrating many neuro-divergent conditions. Autism, ADHD, Tourette’s and DID.

I think that’s awesome, and I love it, and I never want things to go back on this. My nephews are diagnosed by an actual doctor neurospicy and I’m like, overcome and overwhelmed with gratitude that they’ll get to opportunity to grow up in a world of acceptance that I couldn’t have dared to dream could exist when I was a kid.

But, this new reality has brought out the narcissists like flies to honey. Suddenly everyone was self diagnosing DID. The irony being that they don’t have DID, but that it’s a huge red flag for narcissism.

My opinion is that if you obsess about trying to co-opt the concept of “diagnosis” so that you can have a word for yourself when you’re 0.1σ off the median, then that word exists, but it’s just “narcissist”.

You don’t want a department that you throw it over the fence to, you want them embedded on your team. Keep those feedback loops TIGHT bois

For a billion dollars I have a guaranteed plan to reduce operating expenses by 45 billion. Board of telsa feel free to hit up my DMs

Dan you sound like a rad dude ad I’d love to have a beer with you

Any thoughts on a set of APsystems DSL3-L inverters? That’s what I’m quoted for. I’m in Canada so no idea what the inverter market is here

This is amazing, because I do have HA running and I do want to pull data. I’ll look into what their plan is to see if I can make any last minute adjustments.

Assuming data is sent in the clear over any medium which I can get a receiver for I think I’d be ok, I am planning on getting a software defined radio on my HA in the near future

Yes, I’m looking at the paperwork and I’m realizing that you’re right, 80% at 25 is the warranty guarantee, so I’m guessing they’re confident it’ll typically be much better than 80 at 25

Metric and imperial don’t change the way carpenters work because in the case you mentioned of a sub-mm dimension, that’s in the 64th of an inch range. Carpenters don’t ever measure to that precision because of the fluidity of the material. Craftsman will at that point just cut to fit.

My point with those hard numbers wasn’t that metric would make those numbers easier, only that your examples were intrinsically favouring imperial measures. Maybe it’s easier to say:

What’s easier to figure out, 1/3 of 3cm or 1/3 of 1 93/512 inches? You can easily construct scenarios for a measure that are easy in one and obscene in the equivalent. It’s less about the notation and more about the measure. If you assume all of the initial measures are round in imperial units, then the math will automatically be easier. If your designs were designed in metric, they’ll be round to metric. If they’re in imperial, they’ll be round in imperial.

And when this degree of precision is actually important, imperial craftsmen (engineers, machinists) already use decimal. A “Mil” is a milli-inch.

Anyhow, again, I agree that for some very specific scenarios dealing with fractions is easier, especially when you’re doing any base 2 operation.

I just think that you would be surprised how infrequently the issues you’re imagining would actually manifest themselves, working with intrinsically metric designs, and that you’re underestimating the number of scenarios where not dealing with fractions actually would make your life easier.
