Can it even make sense tho? To me JS is an example of a not too good thing that people started too eagerly so now they’re trying to make it make sense.

And capitalistic mass production with no respect for natural resources, aka intensive farming. Plants are grown in huge monocultures with little to no genetic diversity thus making them prone to what would naturally be limited issues like unfavourable weather or diseases

The Suwałki Corridor is even less important strategically after Sweden joined NATO and forces can move through there. Its main importance right now is for reinforcing Kaliningrad, which itself is not very supportive of Mother Russia actions. So in a hypothetical invasion scenario who even knows what would happen in Kaliningrad.

Is that a metaphor? Please that be a metaphor…

So is Trump …and Obama …and pretty much all of them? It’s a war crime only when it’s done by US enemies

The fact that this needs to exist is absolutely ridiculous

Maybe, if reviewers were paid for their job they could actually focus on reading the paper and those things wouldn’t slide. But then Elsevier shareholders could only buy one yacht a year instead of two and that would be a nightmare…

You might simply be allergic. It’s probably best to have it checked.

Some of those “compostable” bags actually decompose into microplastics, so unfortunately they’re not always better

CC (not sure about MIT) virtually always requires attribution, but as GitHub Copilot showed right now open-“media” authors have basically no way of enforcing their rights.

repungnant_canary ,

In most jurisdictions you can’t give away copyright - that’s why CC0 exists. And again most open-source and CC licences require attribution, if you use those licences you have a right to be attributed

I know it has nothing to do with protecting the users, but how exactly is the app supposed to make viewing unreviewed content safer?

repungnant_canary ,

Yeah, and it’s expensive because it’s …well, expensive. It’s not any less abundant than some other metals or more difficult to extract. We just decided it’s gonna be expensive

I know it was different times, but if my kid was so afraid of not doing homework to the point of breaking into the house through the basement window, I would consider it a huge failure on my side.

Certainly loud, but I think the way forward should have been engineering a quieter version instead of going back to plastic. And in the meantime use idk… a bowl?

Edit: use a bowl, meaning put the crisps in the bowl when you open them if the noise bothers you

Data caps are simply false advertising - if your infrastructure can only handle X Tb/s then sell lower client speeds or implement some clever QoS.

There are plenty of users for whom 1.5TB is quite or very restrictive - multi member households, video/photo editors working with raw data, scientists working with raw data, flatpak users with Nvidia GPU or people that selfhost their data or do frequent backups etc.

With the popularity of WFH and our dependence on online services the internet is virtually as vital as water or electricity, and you wouldn’t want to be restricted to having no electricity until the end of the month just because you used the angle grinder for a few afternoons.

I actually wouldn’t suggest this episode to someone whose father’s body is currently donated. But good episode nonetheless

Don’t know for birds but apparently they can win a fight with snake because they have better reaction time. So maybe something similar is contributing here too

Can you send that one? I’m actually researching driverless printing right now

Why do we have to do the health insurance company's job for them?

Just so tired of almost every time a doctor submits stuff to insurance, we have to be the ones to make multiple phone calls to both the doctor’s office and insurance to iron everything out, figure out what the issue is (it’s always a different issue), and basically be the go-between for the office and insurance. What am I...

repungnant_canary ,

They try to spend less so aggressively that they end up actually spending more

repungnant_canary ,

I hope you don’t have any long term consequences of that

Hmmm, since when handwriting is called cursive?

At this point I’m afraid we can look at Nazis (oh the irony…) to understand those Israelis. The similarities of soulless brutality are pretty obvious…

Driving a car is absurdly difficult, incredibly dangerous, takes only a second of distraction to kill yourself and others

Yes and no.

It seems that most people are falsely convinced (or even peer-pressured to some extent) that you must drive at the speed limit or even above it. But you actually don’t have to. You must adjust your speed for weather conditions, road conditions, traffic intensity, surrounding safety infrastructure (or lack of it) and your skills and current condition.

It seems that learning how to choose your speed is missing from most driving courses worldwide. Sometimes, road maintenance provides some advice on that, for example in France you have different speed limits for wet/dry road. But in other cases drivers ignore that guidance - sometimes highway speed limit is lowered due to lack of hard shoulder or animal fences but very few people understand that and most just ignore the limit.

And then there’s your own condition - if you’re tired, slow down, your kids are crying in the back, slow down, you’re on new road, slow down, have a gut feeling, slow down!

What you’re describing is actually mostly a case for driving too fast for given conditions. Even if you’re not speeding but you can’t read and comprehend signs, road, other cars, pedestrians and navigation - you’re driving too fast, slow down.

So I think both your and OP’s comments boil down to attention. As long as you remember essential driving rules and pay attention to road, surroundings and those rules it’s difficult to cause an accident. But if your attention is slipping then it’s a slippery slope.

And if you observe that you often struggle to pay attention to one of those things, you should review your actions and skills and apply necessary corrections.

Driving is easy in a way that it’s schematic and there are not many rules compared to say aviation. But it’s not mindless! You must think about your skills, capabilities and your state of mind and act according to those. In aviation pilots do thorough risk assessment before and during flight, and drivers should do that as well. What makes driving easier than flying is that when you identify the risk as too high you can just slow down or stop.

So to summarise. For God’s sake SLOW DOWN! It saves lives.

repungnant_canary ,

In terms of regulations, there’s a ton of laws that private pilots must observe.

In terms of situational awareness, I would say in some cases driving and flying are comparable. When flying VFR you are responsible for the separation from other aircraft and for navigating. So pilots need to look outside to stay away from others and look on map/ground to stay away from restricted airspaces, which gets intensive in busy airspaces.

repungnant_canary ,

Exactly! Climate, audio, seats and mirrors controls also must be physical as they are more or less directly related to safety

How strong that cloth and attachment would need to be to survive gusts from a storm that’s capable of generating such big hail?

repungnant_canary ,

That looks… surprisingly promising

Many websites prevent providing aliased Gmail address, how you’re planning to address that issue?

I made wanderer - a self-hosted trail and GPS track database (lemmy.world)

Over the last two months, I developed wanderer. It is a self-hosted alternative to sites like alltrails.com or in other words a self-hosted trail database. It started out more as a small hobby project to teach myself some new technologies but in the end, I decided to develop it into a fully-fledged application....

It’s common in restaurants and cafés in Europe to use normal 1L milk cartons even for normal milk - can’t that be done in the US as well?

I get why restaurants need to buy in bulk, but why is the packaging is so huge?

Which would be quite ridiculously (but sadly not surprising) because if Boeing would overcome those issues it could grow stronger and start functioning sustainably. They can’t just shut down all the critics and hope other countries will continue buying their products, especially when Airbus is around

I would assume that when shattered it becomes flexible so you can move it out of the way

Ummm, it’s a long going story which John reported quite late actually

“Own brands” which are theoretically lower quality accidentally executed this idea much better - to cut costs they use less material for the “strings” which allows the cap to be placed not so close to the bottle

I mean, isn’t it?

And if you have two phone numbers which you want to use for WhatsApp then you need to clone the damn app because they can’t even make such basic functionality

kids and teens are naturally born liars

Absolutely not true. It’s the adults listening and reacting only to what they want that incentivizes young people to lie

Because even dictators don’t have power from “god”. Power comes from a group of people and autocracies differ from democracies by the size of this power-legitimizing group (I strongly recommend book “Dictator’s Handbook”).

In Russia this group consists of oligarchs and army generals. And those people need “normal” people to not be against government to work without complaining and revolting. One easy way to increase that satisfaction is by running huge propaganda camping and then organising theatre of choice.

Then high election result, makes people not revolt (cause they “chose” the ruler), reassures oligarchs and generals that it’s a good thing that you’re the leader and finally you can tell the international community that you’re a democracy.

So there’s a few reasons for elections in autocracies

There are actually examples of quite big companies without CEO at all.

But it really depends on what type of company we’re talking about. In small and medium companies usually (not always unfortunately) CEOs do a terrific job and, depending on the company’s financial condition, might even earn less then some of their employees while bearing a huge responsibility (financial and moral).

Even in small companies it is sometimes a case that managers do all the work and the CEO is eating profits - there are stories where employees actually prefer the boss to not show up in the office because they only mess everything up.

Yet if we’re talking about big and huge companies then CEO existence is much harder to defend. If CEO disappeared then by pure inertia the company would work for at least months. Then there’s the Peter Principle and numerous studies how MBAs are actually rather bad boses, in which case if the company keeps existing or even growing then someone else is doing all the management.

And then, you can’t convince me that someone like Musk, who spends days on posting hateful tweets and attending meetings promoting reproduction, does a meaningful job at all.

What companies actually need is some decision making body. And that body doesn’t have to be a rich white asshole, but can be for example board representing (proportionally) all the groups in the company, which then can use deliberative democracy to make decisions. Virtually any other solution is better than old rich white sexists CEO.
