they had to have someone remind everyone that the glue pattern posted at every station where it’s applied isn’t just a suggestion, it’s an engineering requirement for the structural integrity of the part. People were just slapping the adhesive onto shit in any old way they pleased a lot of the time.
In other words, the things were being designed by underqualified engineers who didn’t understand factors of safety, design for manufacturability, or that precision comes at a cost.
Trump has said a lot of things that aren’t even internally-consistent with his own statements.
That’s the part that boggles my mind about Trump supporters. Like, we shouldn’t even need to fact-check his lies because it should be blatantly obvious just from his own speech that it’s contradictory nonsense. It’s as if MAGAs entirely lack basic comprehension skills, to the point that I don’t understand how they function at all even in their daily lives outside of politics.
On my truck (old Ford Ranger) the stupid plastic bed liner obstructs whatever tie downs there might be, so I end up hooking my ratchet straps on the lip of the fender/bed side.
(I’d get rid of the bed liner, but I’m scared to look at how much rust there might be under it and also can’t justify the cost of even a DIY spray-on/roll-on replacement.)
They could have made a backup for themselves and the courts would never know.
Sure, they could… but if it’s worth hiding from the courts, why would they give up that secret for something as unimportant as nuclear security either?
This is them enforcing their agenda regardless of what the courts rule, because they can’t effectively be ordered to put back data that physically no longer exists.
I’m worried about Loving v. Virginia, at this point!
There’s a certain amount of stuff that’s more or less common to all computer programs: the need to get input from and display output to the user, the need to interact with various features of the hardware (e.g. saving data to disc), etc. A lot of the code in the program is infrastructural boilerplate, transforming and moving around data between those things.
“Business logic” is everything else – the code implementing the computation that fulfills the program’s purpose, described in terms of the problem domain.
For example, if you’re “manipulating a string” that’s probably infrastructural code, whereas if you’re “formatting a mailing address” that’s probably business logic.
The common sorts of apps that exist to automate some straightforward bureaucratic workflows (i.e. filling out forms, but on a computer) are often designed with a “three tier” application architecture. The first tier is the UI, the third tier is the database store, and the middle tier is the business logic doing the calculation and validation that a clerk would’ve done by hand in the previous paper-based process.
Apps that operate in a more complicated way, such as CAD software, might tend to have a fuzzier distinction between business logic and infrastructural code.
Because Biden appointed a bitch instead of someone who would actually do their goddamn job.
That’s nice, we can set it beside the “Thursday night massacre” of the DoJ that happened last week. Only slightly higher, so we get a nice two-level effect with a path going down the middle and HOLY FUCKING SHITBALLS WHY AREN’T THERE MILLIONS OF US RIOTING IN THE STREETS RIGHT NOW‽‽
Movin’ on up the flagpole!
True! But also shutting out AOC is itself an example of said corporate bootlicking, so it’s not so much of a “well, and” as it is an “including.”
the Republican Party, which seems to be the most right-wing party of any democracy in the world.
Good news: that’s no longer the case.
Bad news: it isn’t because the Republican Party got less right-wing; it’s because the United States is no longer a democracy.
Just stop paying up because he won’t comply with the freeze?
In order to “just stop paying up” the states would have to convince their citizens and businesses to stop paying their Federal income taxes and payroll taxes, because that money goes directly to the Federal government without passing through the states’ control first.
As far as I can tell, the only part of the Federal budget revenue that flows through the states and therefore might be able to be blocked is small enough to fit in the “misc/other” slice on a pie chart.
How the Hell does someone have a background as both a cybercriminal and a GSA employee at 19? I mean, sure, you can be a cybercriminal as an adolescent. But why is the GSA even hiring anybody that young at all?
Yeah, this title is less than great. When I read it, I initially interpreted as them deciding to pay full wages to firefighters who had engaged in on-the-job misconduct or something, which made no sense.
It should’ve read “California introduces new bill to pay prison slaves forced to labor as firefighters the same wage as free firefighters.”
It’s always projection.
I think I remember reading something last month claiming that they’re working on that reform, too.
Quelling investigations into himself is the third thing in the “arson, murder, and jaywalking” [1]^ Musk is committing.
All the more reason you (and everybody else) should definitely be setting it as a goal and accomplishing it: you’ll be screwed if you don’t.
