The most surprising part to me is the timescale on which this unfolds. It’s been only a month since inauguration and the cracks are already clearly visible. I’d thought it would take at least half a year to a year before shit hits the fan, but they are efficient at being inefficient beyond my wildest imaginations.
No command line args, just change the global const and recompile
Nah, don’t use global variables, magic values everywhere. And don’t use const whatsoever, we need to move fast and break things, we can’t let something immutable stop us

The genies out of the bottle now, and if billionaires don’t want any more dead CEOs, there will need to be fundamental, radical changes to our society.
I don’t expect radical changes. I expect them to make the minimal concessions they believe to be enough to make people just happy enough to not depose more CEOs
DoJ: “My lord, is that… constitutional?”
SCOTUS: “I will make it constitutional”
Can someone give context, is this the same reward that’s given for the other about 800 murders that happen each year in New York or is that guy getting special rich guy privileges beyond his death?
The Windows Devs probably shot for the Ballmer Peak and missed by so far, it’s not even funny. But seriously, look at the history of Microsoft. Even back in the early days, MS-DOS was basically plagiarized from CP/M but Microsoft maneuvered themselves to a market controling position through aggressive marketing and business strategies. Overall they leeched off the emerging PC market and probably hindered innovation more than driving it.
On that note, vinyls have overtaken CDs in sales again
Self driving cars will allways use far more energy and space per passenger than a train or light rail. And personally owned cars will spend more than 90% of their time just standing around, being useless and wasting space. If you propose self driving taxis, you’re just another step closer to trains.
I don’t think logseq has fully automated synchronization, at least it didn’t when I started using it. What it does have is the option to automatically git commit changes. You can then synchronize through a remote repo. It isn’t fully automatic and requires a remote repo you can trust with your data but it works great for me
The original German wording is “Spieglein, Spieglein an der Wand: wer ist die schönste Frau in dem ganzen Land?”. Literally translated that would be “Mirror, mirror on the wall: who is the most beautiful woman in all the land.” I would let “hottest” slide as a more contemporary translation.
They did some great fan service before. In Borderlands 2, there is the NPC Michael Mamaril in Sanctuary who can randomly give out guns when talked to. That NPC is a tribute to the real Michael Mamaril, a fan that passed before Borderlands 2 was released
and it sucks
So there’s another thing they share
Something similar already happened when bicycle manufacturer VanMoof went under. I believe there was a workaround if you extracted your bike’s crypto keys before the servers went down but otherwise you were practically screwed.
The difference is, that you could just continue using XP until Win7 was released or continue using Win7 until Win10 was released. Win10 will reach end of life next year and then the only supported Windows will be Windows 11. Vista or Win8 were never as forced as Win11 is now.
Plot twist: the products were placed by competing brands because they knew the product placement would backfire
No, not at all. There was also Quinn who won a Gold medal at the same Olympics. And Laurel Hubbard won silver at the World Championships and gold twice at the Commonwealth Games but was 43 years old by the time of the Tokyo Olympics.
Additionally, you have to consider that the current rules regarding trans athletes are only in place since 2015. Before it was required to undergo sexual reassignment surgery and have your gender legally changed. And even after the changes, many trans athletes couldn’t compete at the Olympics because the governing bodies of their sport are more restrictive. So even if trans athletes have a “big advantage”, there are plenty ways to explain their lack of presence at the Olympics.
That’s just factually incorrect. Laurel Hubbard qualified for and competed at the Tokyo Olympics.
Minecraft was just the example they used in the post but I agree. Minecraft is no indie game studio anymore atleast since Microsoft took over. But at least the free update policy hasn’t changed since the takeover
The only rebind I use is tap <caps lock> to <esc> and hold <caps lock> to <ctrl> and that is already enough to confuse me when using setups not configured that way
