Also, people should start with small doses and work their way up.

In fact, there’s a lot of research and care people should do beforehand. Mushrooms can be a wonderful experience, but can also be a traumatic one. Learning about them ahead of time goes a long way.

Then you have to explain how her bum was like a mountain goat, and ain’t nobody want to do that.

Not sure about GP, but that’s basically what we did under “SAFe” (Scaled Agile Framework). PI planning means taking most of a sprint to plan everything for the next quarter or so. It’s like a whole week of ticket refinement meetings. Or perhaps 3 days, but when you’ve had 3 days of ticket refinement meetings, it might as well be the whole work week for as much a stuff as you’re going to get done otherwise.

It’s as horrible as you’re thinking, and after a lot of agitating, we stopped doing that shit.

Cops are government employees, and hopefully the government cares about losing $175k over bullshit their employee did.

Yeah, they can afford to lose one or two, but if we all start flipping off cops and start getting charged, it’s going to add up.

Here’s India’s inflation chart for the past few years: https://www.equentis.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-87.png

Here’s the US: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEDCPIM158SFRBCLE

They aren’t easing anything.

Pretty sure signing over your soul is a requirement for HR positions. They do blatantly illegal things all the time and do not care. So yes, they will happily tell the truth in an anonymous survey.

Manufacturer must provide either a comparable replacement vehicle or a full refund.

In my state (Wisconsin), it’s considered a lemon if it’s no more than a year old and under warranty, and:

• It has a serious defect the manufacturer or dealer(s) didn’t fix in four tries, or
• It has one or more defects that prevent you from using it for 30 days or more (the 30 days need not be consecutive).

Cybertruck probably won’t trigger the first clause, but I wonder about that second one.

India would be perfectly valid if it wasn’t experiencing high inflation just like everyone else. Which it is.

You can’t fix inflation just by setting a max price. It leads to shortages or (more common in India’s case) retailers finding loopholes:

What country would you point to as a success for this policy?

They have x86_64 models.

There’s almost always at least a little ASM sprinkled into any kernel, so that’s not a big deal.

OTOH, there is the factor of “you know how Chrome takes up 2GB per tab? What if that was a whole OS?”

You’re probably in a country that got a ton of allocations in the 90s. If you came from a country that was a little late to build out their infrastructure, or even tried to setup a new ISP in just about any country, you would have a much harder time.

Yes, everyone forgets them. Mostly for good reasons.

Arm is better because there are more than three companies who can design and manufacture one.

Edit: And only one of the three x86 manufacturers are worth a damn, and it ain’t Intel.

Edit2: On further checking, VIA sold its CPU design division (Centaur) to Intel in 2021. VIA now makes things like SBCs, some with Intel, some ARM. So there’s only two x86 manufacturers around anymore.

The Rust compiler tends to turn my impostor syndrome to 11. I assume she has some kind of humiliation kink and I do not consent.

JSON and XML can be “real” languages. Mostly because of people who didn’t stop to ask if they should.

Yup. Immigration authorities know they can pick random farms in certain regions and round up the entire workforce as working without a visa. Enforcing this would grind agriculture to a halt in many states.

Nobody actually wants that, including the farm owners who tend to vote Trump and complain about the “illegals” working for them. So they do a few raids now and then to look like they’re doing something. Meanwhile, the workers aren’t allowed to take water breaks in humid >90F weather.

Here’s one that’s not as consequential as other posts here. It’s not going to change the world, but would make things slightly better.

Split lock washers are worse than useless. They’re supposed to be a spring against the bolt to help resist it turning back out over time. They don’t. If anything, they make it worse.

Here’s a NASA publication on fastener design (because of course there’s a NASA publication on fastener design): https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/19900009424

The lockwasher serves as a spring while the bolt is being tightened. However, the washer is normally flat by the time the bolt is fully torqued. At this time it is equivalent to a solid flat washer, and its locking ability is nonexistent. In summary, a Iockwasher of this type is useless for locking.

This was published in 1990, but we’re still using this shit. Stop. There are many other kinds of fastener locking that work, like nylon locking nuts or threadlock, and we don’t need these.

Something something Jesus invalidated that part.

Conviently forgetting that means Christianity explicitly does not consider these to be very important.
