Why can’t it be for finding defects AND the rest of the shit you listed?

It doesn’t seem like anyone anywhere needs to rethink what they are for. They’ve proven themselves over and over to be useful for all the reasons you listed.

When interviewing and companies wave away code reviews i consider it a sign of a less mature org (or maybe very small, or maybe a more R&D place).

built collective ownership

I don’t know about this one. people at companies are pretty quick to talk about code ownership when it comes to on call schedules, but i’ve never seen them give you the code when you leave.

spread architectural understanding

I also think this is not really true unless the codebase is really small. In bigger code bases broad overviews really help.

It IS a breach of privacy.

Few people who use these apps expect to be surveiled. That may make them ignorant, but that doesn’t change that this is a breach of their privacy.

Have it on steam, but not on mobile. Its a real grind.

We did not have this problem 20ish years ago, aligned headlights can be bright and not aimed at your eyes. I’d be nice to have this also but could we just get some enforcement on the alignment.

Brightness is obviously an issue … Id be happy with them pointed at the fucking road, there is nothing at other drivers eye level you need to see

Looking in my area FR-S’ seem about the same price, gr86’s seemed a bit more pricey. I considered them all equal when i was looking (at the time i was looking at wrx’s or miata’s also). Really enjoy driving this this car so far only downside is more expensive gas, and the paint which seems to chip super easy.

Not so much with ai, but Palo Bacigalupi I feel like does a pretty good dystopian future wrt climate change, I’d recommend the windup girl

15k cad, and 26k km for my very serious brz (also 13 years old). I also had the same lack of evs in my price range (not even including fun ones).

“a” has a name: regulatory capture.

Regulators have in the past fulfilled their role, they’ve just been hamstrung.

Companies have reversed unpopular decisions in the past (just saw a thing about Facebook reversing some AI thing). So there may be some possible chance of them reversing this decision. I’m not hopeful but the cost is cheap, and it has a better chance of success than doing nothing

this entire thread makes me sad, i guess there’s no accounting for taste.

That is rad. My father started with solar domestic hot water heating, then got some PV solar, never bothered with batteries (it was at a time when batteries kind of sucked). Did ok for our northern latitudes. Power company didn’t encourage it though which makes it feel like a bit of an uphill battle. I’m thinking of doing my own house but again, it seems like you’ve got to be the expert if you want to make it work, and power companies aren’t happy to have your contributions.

I guess I just get a bit - understanding when people say they are scared of nuclear. I do realize that in aggregate fossile has been way worse than nuclear.

Must solve all problems at the same time for entire country, can’t possibly wind things down while building up alternatives. Only good solution is nuclear, ignore all previous nuclear issues, they were one offs that only happened because people were stupid. We now smart humans will never have stupid or corrupt people.

Really I don’t even dislike nuclear, some people treat it as the only option when there are clearly alternatives, and solar and batteries appears to be one.

Wait till they find out about batteries!

Too bad you aren’t liking carless people, I really like learning how crazy the muckity mucks were at FB.

Among my favorites I remember: Gideon the ninth, slavery by another name, worst journey in the world, anything by Ted Chiang, blindsight/echopraxia

Recent reads: little bosses everywhere (excellent), no more tears (also excellent), get in trouble (I really like parts of it but it’s classic Kelly link, super weird and abrupt)

Common dude, don’t support elon

This is some Nintendo/mac level fanboi shit

Yeah it’s maybe not a major hardware error, but telling someone that turning their console off for 6plus hours is the solution to their issue is not something that we’d forgive from any other company. If it’s completely a one off sure, especially if valve offers to replace it. But we shouldn’t wave this off as if it’s nothing because it’s valve

It seems like your getting down voted for 'large amount of broken shit", which I don’t know about, but I agree people seem way to willing to forgive a pretty bad error with this, when I expect they’d not if it was a different company.
