What they really mean is: Polite to them, the people with the means of easily inflicting deadly violence upon others.

Gun ownership is just another expression of the deep selfishness ingrained in American culture.

"Practical Engineering" is a fantastic channel. I especially appreciate all the infrastructure failure analysis videos he has done. It let me (a non civil engineer) understand why certain infrastructure disasters like collapses, power outages, or dam breaches were able to occur.

  • Roy Orbison, the songwriter and rock & roll legend
  • Lemmy Kilmister from Motörhead
  • Ludwig van Beethoven, obviously

Someone should tell Retsuko about this kind of service.

If they really do shut off API access I'll go into partial link aggregator withdrawal. My Lemmy instance still isn't upgraded to the latest versions which are compatible with apps, so I don't browse on my phone.

As someone interested in military history, the reintroduction of naval camouflage is a very notable development.

I'm no expert but I think we're looking at parts of the vehicle which were outside the pressure hull. Those parts would not have been subjected to such extreme forces when the hull failed.

Most bits of a DSV are actually outside of the pressure hull, just look at the designs of Trieste or Limiting Factor. This is to maximize the space available to human passengers inside the relatively small (and very expensive to construct) hull.

Rust adoption at Google:

over 1,000 Google developers ... have authored and committed Rust code as some part of their work in 2022

The learning curve might not be as steep as often said:

More than 2/3 of respondents are confident in contributing to a Rust codebase within two months or less when learning Rust. Further, a third of respondents become as productive using Rust as other languages in two months or less

In a way, Crysis. There's a reason the "But does it run Crysis?" meme exists. Because most computers could barely run it on release. It was way ahead of its time technologically.

Yes so many great games shipped on XBLA. It's how I first played Braid, Limbo, Shadow Complex, and many other indies. There's still some which are exclusive to the platform, hidden gems like "ilomilo".

Great news. I think we're still not quite there yet with cultivated meat, but it has great promise. Cultivated meat has the potential to be cheaper, far more environmentally friendly, obviously more ethical, and maybe even healthier. I hope it reaches full scale production with all these benefits in my lifetime.

Having used both, while the market implications of NACS are still unclear it sure is the more ergonomic of the two standards. Those CCS2 DC connectors are just too large and unwieldy.

“This is the most extreme type of monitoring that I’ve seen,” says Pilar Weiss, founder of the National Bail Fund Network, a network of over 90 community bail and bond funds across the United States. “It’s part of a disturbing trend where deep surveillance and social control applications are used pretrial with little oversight.”
