Hm, I’m currently working on a project with a ton of runtime-configurable plug-ins and dependencies between them. All of that is held together with a copious amount of black QMetaObject magic. I had the same thought about it, but I’m not sure how you’d get similar functionality without reflection and not making it even more convoluted and fragile…

Would make a good movie too, with a giant Spiderman points at Spiderman scene where a bunch of dudes from different nations with a tenuous grasp about what exactly they are supposed to recover have a hushed standoff to figure it out before security shows up

Just had this mental image of a combat swimmer that crawled out of the sewer arguing with Rambo who got through the ventilation if that statue is southern or northern Macedonian style and what period.

No, it either does proton-proton collisions or heavy ions, both regular matter. At TeV energies the added energy from anihalating matter with antimatter isn’t that much of a contribution anymore that it would justify the added complexity.

Its predecessor collided positrons with electrons though. But the LEP was more for precise refinement of known interactions and not so much about reaching the highest possible energies.

Having it piloted by harvested fish brains wouldn’t be the dumbest thing about it if they actually built it

In the same boat. and recently of all the issues that could pop up, Teams has decided to become a buggy mess. Their own software on their own OS just stops working after just one year of using the machine.

Not to speak of all the other slowdowns and child-diseases that the thing has developed.

Meanwhile my desktop install of Linux is nearing its 10th birthday, has all sorts of legacy configs that I never bothered to clean up, has moved drives 3 times and to a different filesystem+partitioning scheme, changed bootloader… Yet still is way less of a pain than Windows at work.

Or get chased around by explosive FPV drones and Ali-express quadcopters dropping grenades.

And that’s before someone with more resources than Ukraine inevitably makes an airplane load of these things that just automatically go for anything vaguely human shaped.

Apart from the other points that have been raised: basically every recent report about Ukrainian troops has gotten a bit in it along the lines of “they’re exhausted and have taken heavy losses, but are in good spirits and willing to fight on”.

Especially if you read what individual soldiers are saying, I get the feeling that this war would not end, even if support to Ukraine where to vanish completely (good luck convincing Poland, the Baltics and Nordics). You’d just get Afghanistan, but the invaders are openly genocidal and don’t give a fuck about civilians at the best of times.

Wenn die das wirklich als Aufnäher verkaufen, geht das garantiert weg wie warme Semmeln

The recent war on food would be exactly how I’d expect Nestlé to act if they acquired cruise missles.

Oh, it’s Wunderwaffenzeit. Maybe we can interest them in some battleships on tracks, intercontinental artillery, bomber Blimps or an iceberg-aircraft-carrier (it’s still going to catch fire somehow).

Just following orders right? The 100% completion run in warcrimes is surely just the fault of a small minority. The population and most of the army are the real victims.

Wait, where have I heard that one before…

_Z1useri ,

At the very least, make it clear that whatever looks at civilian ships funny or thinks about firing missiles at the ports will have a prompt smoking accident

We have credible intelligence that an individual named “Ben Shapiro” is the head of the terrorist group known as “Facts and logic”. I have therefore authorized an air strike on his assumed location to address this grave threat to national security.

Considering that Turkey had no problem with shooting down a Russian aircraft, this is either going to be really effective or really funny.

Elon Musk says Twitter's cash flow still negative as ad revenue drops 50% (www.reuters.com)

Elon Musk says Twitter’s cash flow still negative as ad revenue drops 50%::Twitter’s cash flow remains negative because of a nearly 50% drop in advertising revenue and a heavy debt load, Elon Musk said on Saturday, falling short of his expectation in March that Twitter could reach cash flow positive by June.

From a purely technical perspective I’m a bit confused how this clown-car has kept going for so long, after all the slash-and-burn restructuring that’s happened. Hopefully there’s going to be some engineers telling the story when Musk manages to fubar it after all.

But that included not paying for servers, firing people and finding out later that they had irreplaceable knowledge, demanding constant crunch time from the poor sods that are left and randomly turning off “unnecessary” services.

I’d be really surprised if that made the overall state better.
