There’s no dead person out there complaining that they spent too much time in a computer…

Jan 1st is a workers day???

No, and I haven’t said that. Jan 1st celebrates peace.

Hum… Isn’t tomorrow one of the 2 days that are internationally recognized as not a working day? (The other being Jan 1st)

McDonalds specifically published something about how AI made their customers revolt and gave them enough loses by overpromissing stuff that they would remove their bot. I have no idea how widespread it was, but I think there isn’t a bot anywhere nowadays.

Have you run the numbers? There’s a serious competition there.

Nukes can fast-forward the world into a late-war environment in a couple of hours. But it’s not actually known if they can end a war.

Unless you are talking about those “Earth’s crust destroying” nukes. But no country has actually built those.

I mean… It was a cheap joke, but money and trade are not requirements for an economy.

If you look at ants, balancing defense (and offense for some species) with colony upkeeping is a serious problem. The Borg also have a “Roman Empire” situation where their wealth comes from war, so yeah, it would be really complicated.

Do you have any idea how long it takes to manufacture a cube?

They would need to start sourcing it from contractors 2 centuries before the war, and the effort they put into it would destroy their economy.

Luckily every sentient species in the galaxy has close to the same height and sits in the same position…

I would be severely disappointed if I took a beating and then got to my table and my beer was all spilled over.

And I’d be even more disappointed if I won a beating and the same happened.

So, if I’m reading things right, anything that runs on Z-Wave or Zigbee will necessarily run locally, because those are mesh protocols?

Anyway, thanks a lot. Those are really simple keywords to check.

I’ve been looking for some smart outlets, and it seems impossible to discover which ones can be used with normal well-known protocols and which can only be used through a phone app locked into a cloud service.

You are saying that the error messages terminate at some point?

The Doctor isn’t even in the picture…

There’s a good reason sysv isn’t on the meme.

If you think it never broke, that’s because you weren’t doing anything different or creating anything that required it.

That said, systemd had a tendency to break even if you didn’t either. But nowadays the bugs are mostly fixed, and the stupidity is contained on parts people mostly don’t adopt.

Running the code again is fast and requires no thinking. Finding the problem is slow and requires a lot of thinking.

It’s worth looking under the light-post in case your keys somehow rolled there. Just not for long.

The fact that this is becoming the most known quote from that mission is amazing on several good and bad ways.

Are extensible records usable already?

Not that I would pick TS because of that, but the disdain is undeserved when it has some very useful features that Haskell has been trying to copy for years.

The Vulcan Science Academy has determined that life in multiple planets is impossible…

Or something like that.

Last time I said “No! This is getting silly!” and decided to try all those language-server GUI text editors I lost a couple of weeks and decided to nuke my emacs config and make LSP actually work there instead.
