I believe rural school zones are sometimes 50km/h. In context the non-school zone speed limit is usually 80km/h or more, often with visibility from one horizon to the other and a sprawling parking lot, it’s not quite the same as a congested urban school with a driveway big enough to fit a single bus and dozens of cars parked along the curb.
AI slop games for everyone! We can use the entire power of a remote datacenter surrounded by natural gas burning turbines to simulate what each button press you make does. It will be frighteningly accurate and will offer new and unique gameplay features like nonsensical hallucinations of constantly changing non-euclidean geometry you must attempt to navigate, and the risk of real wildfire smoke making you struggle to breathe while you play for added challenge!
I guess they are about to make John Romero their bitch now.
Jokes aside, it is sad to see all the cuts going on right now, especially since I think they’re stupid, shortsighted and misguided.
I think I’ll stick to AMD from now on, thanks.
Yup, exactly! Sorry if anything I wrote sounded like criticism, I was agreeing and elaborating with my own experiences, that’s all.
So apparently Canada got something they were asking for for a long time, and NATO is willing to recognize our resource projects for “critical minerals” as part of our defense budget. The 5% is still a huge target, but it seems we do have some more options in how we actually reach it now, that don’t involve just sending money to other countries to buy their military equipment. So hopefully these investments in critical minerals will actually be able to benefit our economy directly and limit the need for significant cuts elsewhere.
“I don’t know, that’s just how we’ve always done it.”
In my experience there often is a reason for it, it’s just that the person who knew the reason for it left the company and it was never properly documented, so now it’s just cargo-cult-policy without any understanding behind it. So you’re right, there’s no way to figure out why it’s done that way or if it should continue to be done that way without thorough reexamination and a pretty analytical approach, and when those reasons are old they can certainly turn out to be badly outdated, but I’d also caution against just blanket assuming that it probably isn’t necessary simply because it’s “the way we’ve always done it” and no one seems to know why. The erosion of institutional knowledge is relentless, but that doesn’t mean it was never known or never for a good reason either. It’s not braindead to follow a policy you don’t understand the reason for, it might be lazy and it might be putting too much trust in the people who made the policies, but it’s not always wrong. Sometimes the policies are written in blood, and you not knowing that doesn’t mean it’s not a good policy.
That’s why they put in the “debatably” part. Anyone can debate to their heart’s content that it is superior. And they’d still be wrong.
(To be clear, I’m agreeing, you and Kolanaki are exactly right.)
But it doesn’t even matter if it’s superior. There is value in seeing the steps of progress made to get to a superior edition. This is why we have version control for code. It’s not always just so you can do a revert or see the latest change, if it was we could just throw away commits older than a month or something. It’s valuable to be able to see the whole history. We can still learn from it and appreciate what it did for its time, even if it’s old.
Well it seems like my time of distrusting anything the Liberals say is certainly coming to a middle.
Let other countries buy, own and run our airlines? “What could go wrong?”
Yeah but the sun burns probably millions of people every day and causes cancer, besides it’s big enough to take care of itself.
And I’ve already explained before, that “face” is just conveniently aligned shadows that make it look like a face. There’s no actual face there. Further analysis clearly showed that it was in fact a pyramid, just like the ones aliens built here in ancient Egypt. /s
What did Mars ever do to deserve any of this? It’s just out there minding its own business not bothering anybody. Into the sun where at least they can be used as fuel, that would be a better use for them.
Correct, it is also a sign that it is winning that it keeps attracting (and largely still beating) direct competitors. The Switch 2 can’t have any realistic competitors because the ecosystem is so closed off and exclusive, it’s a monopoly in its space.
Despite countless attempts by numerous companies to monopolize various parts of the PC experience, it continues to foster relentless competition, and rather than attempting to lock in their little bit of monopolization, Steam Deck is too busy breaking other, much more realistic attempts at complete monopolization of the PC ecosystem (Looking at you, Microsoft Windows). Even Steam’s own game distribution dominance is a far cry from Microsoft’s near-complete control of much of the desktop OS stack. It is a genuine pleasure to see Steam Deck and the hard work done by things like Proton (and to a lesser extent, improving support from hardware vendors most notably AMD) finally actually moving the needle on that.
Agreed, the freelance contractor “gig economy” these apps use is a crime against the labor force. I have no idea why we tolerate this toxic business model in a civilized country with labor laws.
Don’t worry, they’ll tattoo your NFT on for you when they send you to the work camps.
mi sasa, fosho im gut!
When something seems too good to be true, it usually is. Carney definitely seemed to be entering that territory in the run up to the election, so I’ve always reserved some suspicion. At this point if they form a coalition government with the conservatives, as laughable as that idea seems, then we know we’ve definitely been had.
Yes please. Let’s hurry up and skip as much of this cautious flirting as we can, and get to the part where we fuck (…the enemies of democracy)
Well those are definitely some thread titles I’ll never be able to unsee. Fucking hell. Going to bleach my eyes now brb.
It’s not like it’s an existential threat or anything. Besides, we can just use the military to shoot at the climate until it cooperates. /s
