I'd say, let them have whatever fuel they prefer. These are not the tax-evaders we are looking for.

What could possibly go wrong :)

Filter your diesel through cat litter in your garage and fill up your £60k mercedes.

Feels like extra work I would really enjoy doing and also the wonderful smell.

And I can probably re-use the cat litter for pesticides, so i don't need to worry about disposing of it.

But otherwise i would probably recommend against it.

In the 80s you would get the harder instructions through the "alternative builds" on the back on the cardboard box. Just an image without instructions.

The reason it well preserved is the brackish water in Baltic Sea where the shipworm doesn't thrive.

Fantastic! This was never part of the Swedish storytelling. Wonder why?

This word translated poorly, so the translation was a bit hard to read :)

I would say it is about 4 times older and 1000 times less successful. A factor of 250 in favor of Fram.

I find it ironic that the most prominent museum in Sweden is for a ship that only made it 3km before sinking.

While in Norway you can visit and walk aboard the "Fram". The most successful Arctic Exploration ship.

You will never know if it was his moustache, his clothes or the way he enters a room that made him so successful with women.

It is great, but I have completely given up non-interactive plots since a while.

You get so much more information in plots using bokeh (or I assume plotly).

Tooltips, zooming, interaction.

And the LLM helps a lot when the plot is a bit more complex.

Yeah, doesn't always help of course.

But EU countries have authorities for this that helps filing issues they find legitimate. e.g. https://www.imy.se/en/news/administrative-fee-against-spotif...

But also the Norwegian twin mentioned in TFA.

As of now I am mostly collecting data to probe their compliance.

I am a EU citizen, I bought a (Chinese) robotic lawn mower.

One day, end of April when the grass is growing very rapidly, they presented me with a dialog in the app that basically said.

"We updated the EULA with the explanation "optimized wordings". Please accept."

There was no reference to the new or old EULA, and if I didn't accept I could not start the app and use my new mower. It was bricked.

I am now checking their compliance with GDPR. It is a tedious process because they keep stalling, but I still feel I have all the rights.

And I get a lot of help from chatgpt who works as a patient secretary that translates my "f-fck sake give me my stuff" into formal/friendly legalese with counter questions designed to be difficult to duck.

As of now, 2 months later, they have finally pointed me to "download personal data" in the application which gives me back a PDF with mower model, my email address and some push notification history.

But I know they store much more than that. And I think they know that I know. If nothing else my customer support history. But also for example a map of my garden.

I definitely agree with the GP, and the point is that most often someone else (or an LLM) added all those LOC that are removed to make the system sensible.

Can anybody for f.ing f. f. do something against the snipers who annoy and add nothing to the discussion?

I don't care about your comment but I downvoted you for the rude language.

A doctor knows about enough dangers and germs to never let you out the door!

I'd argue that indexes is an implementation detail here and exactly the kind that should not leak into the abstract "thinking about sets and how to combine them".

It is valuable and critical in lots of real situations. But it may interfere with the actual learning.

Good memories. I didn't know it looked so good on a color monitor. And must have had better specs than my 286, looks much smoother than I remember.

Comey should apply.

Not sure how to describe this, but in a small/medium size company you have a few chips with talent.

And somehow k8s tends to use one of the most valuable chips. The smartest guy who from then on only works with maintaining and updating k8s. Instead of building the best and smartest products.

Kafka also competes with this.

Killing of families is what happened in Ukraine in the Russia controlled territories.

Those systems could have been used to prevent Russia from trying to annihilate the Ukrainian civilization.

USA is not even paying for it anymore so it would have been pure income.

Isn't this the same case the NoSQL movement made.

what would I do if giving up the right to veto hinged on my veto power?

Was that a rhetoric question? Of course it is a leap of faith. But the idea is that it will make the union as a whole stronger, and then maybe even giving up your veto right would make it worthwhile.

So the politicians made mistakes then (apart from Macron then whose only crime is being unpopular).

Who are you comparing to?

There has to be at least one ideal politician, otherwise I'd say the job is just inherently difficult. And hindsight is 20/20.

Took a little bit of figuring out why I always exploded. The restart button was right where I tapped to launch.

I loved the simplicity, it was fun!

a stunningly incompetent array of bad leaders

I am honestly curious who you are pointing at (in particular if you exclude British leaders)

Partly because I am actually curious, I don't doubt there are bad leaders.

But partly also because, without any details, this is a very general trope, that I don't really think is very healthy at the moment. Since it is food for right wing extremists (you probably know yourself where some politicians in USA originate from).

apparently incapable of win-win scenarios

And this is exactly the opposite of how trade works. Trade only happens if both parties have something to gain from it.

Ooh, the telephones in the 80s! You should get one of those!

The chicken is always the good part of the TACO. That doesn't make the whole thing great.

Ok, TIL :)
