But it indicates that something is really wrong, right? And that we should all keep noticing that and keep working on a solution?
I think the negative responses are directed at the use of "meh" and the seeming indifference to an actual problem that could really use a solution, even if we don't have a perfect one everybody agrees on yet.

very good call on podman support - it didn't immediately occur to me but that's an obvious reason for this choice.

That's a lovely vision. If by the same miracle I retire around the same time, I'm in - haven't played since college, so I'm sure its hardly the same game I knew.

Wow. Well, I'll take the correction. I've never heard of anything like that. However, while this is also scary, I still think its unfair to say the evidence of a potential problem type in a new technology like EVs is not concerning, and to say that the likelihood of fire is greater in ICE (because I don't think its fair to add in the comparison of fire risk while turned on to that of fire risk when turned off)

I agree that AIM was fine. Not as good as in-person interaction, and no real substitute for it, but as an augmentation it caused no real harm. Chatrooms could be in the same boat, but had more problems.
However, social media ever since feeds and the "like" button are an entirely different beast which is addicting, dehumanizing, and antisocial - preventing kids from developing socially.

No no no, you can't compare the ICE risk. an ICE car sitting in my garage has basically zero chance of catching fire and burning my house down while my family sleeps.
What this incident shows is that with an EV, charging in the garage as its supposed to do overnight, that chance is >0.
That is an enormously BIG DEAL, and will matter to a huge number of consumers and lawmakers alike.

This is so important to me. I find its an enormous value of mine to make sure that my kid knows what can be fixed, even if not how to fix it. So many people don't even know its possible to fix many things, so they don't learn, they don't try (and of course they give professionals a huge amounts of money for things that require 30 mins and a $2 part)

Respectfully disagree - their peers often make an unhealthy environment on the internet. Kids need in-person communication and interactions, its necessary for healthy development. The internet looks like it provides social interaction, but it actually does not provide what kids need. They should interact with their peers elsewhere, synchronously.
cacois | 1 year ago | on: Scrum is the Symptom, not the Problem
Ok, but here me out - I think many things are missed in this take. This one immediately jumps out at me (from the manifesto): "Build projects around motivated individuals"
The manifesto is predicated on this basis - that the individuals are motivated and capable of delivering when empowered. In a large corporate environment, can you make that assumption? Is your hiring always that good? Can you provide the type of environment that always produces high morale?
I'm no fan of scrum, but I've also seen what happens when "unmotivated" individuals are given too much free reign - nothing. How do you, as a large business, address that? Mass firings, or more "active" process? Perhaps business can't get over the risk mitigation that scrum provides?

I'm very interested in this topic, but currently ignorant enough about NES game dev to make this repo fairly cryptic. Is there anyone here with more knowledge that can explain what exactly this does (more deeply than "enable writing NES games in Python, kind of"), and how it compares to other tooling out there?

I wouldn't say having some type of insurance == access to healthcare.
The increase in deductibles and decrease in % coverage throughout the course of my career has been shocking.

I think this is why the skyrocketing costs of healthcare in the US are so upsetting to me. Its sucking away the hope by putting so many of these technological miracles out of reach.
cacois | 1 year ago | on: Reddit Will License Its Data to Train LLMs, We Made a FF Extension to Replace
The top of my mind was when I was having all sort of trouble with my Dell XPS and needed to find info on some bios operations, GPU testing, etc. Turned out it was a hardware failure that was tough to prove. Google yielded nothing, but there were a few threads on reddit that sent me in the right direction.

My experience has been the opposite in the last few years. I've found myself filtering results google/duckduckgo specifically for reddit, because I was finding better answers to technical questions. Anecdotal, of course, and it does seem to be getting worse (less successful for me) over the last 6 months.

Folks that have Framework laptops, how is the latest generation hardware as a daily driver? I've not been following as closely as I could, but am very interested in the mission and ideas.

To the above posters credit, it sounds like their claim of exaggeration was spot on (he didn't say it was a lie). You didn't say their libraries don't compare to US ones, you said they don't exist.
cacois | 1 year ago | on: Redict 7.3.0, a copyleft fork of Redis, is now available
Lightweight is your problem here, I think, but I've used CouchDB successfully in similar situations. However, its not in-memory like Redis is.

So your argument is that its closer to virtualization, than to emulation?

> I use it the way I used to outsource tasks to junior developers.
Is this not concerning to you, in a broader sense? These interactions were incredibly formative for junior devs (they were for me years ago) - its how to grew new senior devs. If we automate away the opportunity to train new senior devs, what happens to the future?
