Their stack is so brutal. It’s incredible how they overcame it all.

ARM instruction set, wrong page size, GPU without documentation for which they reverse engineered a Vulkan and OpenGL driver.

my tool bag in which I have a wide variety of capability

Somehow that sounds a bit threatening, like Liam Neeson in that one oft-memed scene.

I notice you didn’t mention Drupal or Joomla, and last time I did any webdev (11 years ago as an intern) it seemed like those were some of the big ones (though my perspective was probably very limited back then). Are they no good, have they fallen out of favour?

Don’t bring a truck or guns with you. Change some dollars for euros. Remember that the US has an insane tax system that follows you abroad and you still have to file taxes in the US in addition to the country you live in.

no one wants anything better

More like there is nothing better people can agree on. You might like SCION with it’s RAINS architecture, where the trust anchors are local to the isolation domains. This way you could build up name resolution where you only depend on the local ISPs that form the core of your isolation domain. In my team we are supporting SCION, in fact we are in the core of one ISD, but the uptake on the customer side is relatively low so far. There are two or three niches that are using SCION more, but not RAINS yet, as far as I know.

even just different

Just different is not really attractive, unless people feel like IANA is really messing things up, or the US is exerting undue influence over it. So far they seem to have avoided making that impression widely.

I think it’s more of a historical accident that nobody really finds ideal, but there is also no good alternative solution that has a critical mass assembled behind it.

It all started with Jon Postel just taking on the job of keeping track. This is an interesting topical document: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2468

It was fixed and now has this comment at the bottom:

An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that the Berlin Wall fell in 1990, not 1989. We regret the error.

Maybe they saw your comment

Feels like without the legislature this is something that’s way too easy to overturn

Wheelahan found that under Nevada law, merging Twitter into X turned Twitter into a “constituent entity,” which then transferred all of Twitter’s legal consequences to X Corp.

Isn’t that how it works everywhere? What where they even arguing for?

Unless you put 100,000 miles on the lego truck 😄

The US doesn’t exactly approve or deny vehicles in general; any vehicle that conforms to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards can be sold

Sorry, I’m not getting the distinction here. Isn’t a vehicle that conforms to the FMVSS the same as one that is approved?

Or is the check against FMVSS is not done ahead of time, but only later in any lawsuits?

Our trains don’t generally dump those anymore.

They are saying in their FAQ that there are some brushes they can mount on the tails of trains running overhead. Can’t see any published picture of them though.

Comment garantir la propreté des panneaux ?

Il est vrai que des panneaux sales produisent moins et ce problème se vérifie également sur les toits des maisons ou dans le désert. Cependant, pour ce qui des panneaux placés entre les rails, il existe des systèmes de nettoyage, sous forme de brosse cylindrique, qui se place en queue de train et qui procède au nettoyage automatique des panneaux lorsque le train passe au-dessus. Ce dispositif garantit un rendement maximal des panneaux à un coût minime.

Two thousand liters of helium gas were allegedly released as a result of the rifle striking the machine.

No not really. It was release as a result of the same idiot who brought his rifle into the room later pressing the emergency shutdown, thereby quenching the magnet and dumping the helium. What a dumb fuck.

Just send the robot instead!

Just to be sure, who created the invite? A German native speaker by chance?

The first page of results when I deliberately google in English “what is a Jour Fixe” are the following:

• Blog entry in English written by someone from a Liechtensteiner Organisation
• Blog entry in English written about the German usage of the Term
• English Wiktionary entry
• German Wikipedia article
• Blog entry in English written by someone from a German Organisation
• Translation website treating it as a German term
• Blog entry in English written by someone from Austria
• Translation website treating it as a German term
• Blog entry in German
• Blog entry in German

Some of that may be personalized to me as a Swiss user of course. But it seems a bit much to be a coincidence. Maybe it is a loan word making its way from German into English now.

Jour Fixe

I don’t think they use that term in English. And even more surprising, they don’t even use it in French. It’s a French loanword that somehow only exists in German.

The real issue isn’t the overproduction per se, but that we (globally speaking) don’t have enough cheap scalable responsive distributed storage. I’m writing this from a privileged position since Switzerland has loads of dams and can pump water during such peaks. But it’s clear that’s not the solution everywhere. I hope a good cheap mass producible battery tech with less rare earth metal requirements comes along soon.

Probably this whole list, there is lots of code shared with Windows 7, but who really knows? Nobody is checking against Vista anymore.

Yes, it does become part of cleaning the window to also wipe the slats. They are usually made of Aluminium as far as I know.
