They are resisted because they threaten the status quo of the oligarchs and the useful idiots they are able to convince. In my country, they mostly do it by doing barbecues, concerts during the campaign, giving people in the countryside buckets, umbrellas a bag of rice and bottle of oil, and lots of TV and TikTok propaganda. In the US, religion seems to plays a much bigger role.

We’ve known for years that starting school at 08.00 is detrimental to school-aged children and teenagers, but we keep doing it.

But work is 9-5 9-6, can’t have flexible hours. Everyone knows a busy employee is less likely to get weird ideas like unionizing.

We’ve known for years that WFH can be just as productive and even more so than RTO, but we keep doing it.

But you can’t control and micromanage the slave employee if they aren’t physically present at work. And also, we need to keep the employee busy on the 1-2hr commute, see above point.

We’ve known for ages that housing homeless people helps them and society much better than criminalizing them, but we keep doing it.

You mean the poor landlords lose the bread from their mouth and not get paid rent?

We’ve known for ages that repressive stances on drugs are counterproductive, but we keep doing it.

Stealing the bread of our poor military complex and police forces? Can’t have that.

We’ve known for ages that a 4-day workweek results in gains for everyone, including the owner class themselves, yet we keep on doing 5.

See point #1

My point is that it’s literally a class war between the oligarchs in power and the rest of us.

And also, you can sort of brute force things to look good it with shaders.

Same boat… But I had some success with low poly 3D models which I found are pretty easy to make. Learning a bit about color theory, how to match colors, as well as learning a bit about level design goes a long way. You can make a great looking game this way.

But my dream game is 2D pixel art, and I really suck at it.

Easiest? More like… The only way.

Is this what burnout looks like?

Skill issue of the developer to fix it or skill issue of the submitter?

Did you even read my post? I said that you need plates to drive, but you don’t need plates if you are parked (or on private property). If a car is parked, you have plenty of time to read the VIN. Driving on public roads without plates is illegal and you risk jail time.

I highly doubt cameras would be able to recognize this as a valid plate.

Where I live, you only need valid plates to drive on public roads. If the car is parked or you drive on private property, there’s no problem. The procedure for getting plates requires you to not have plates for like 2 or 3 days.

Cars can still be identified by the VIN which is on the windshield.

I just use a planetary mixer that can mix the dough. It uses a lot less space, and it can be used for multiple purposes. For resting, rising, i will just transfer it over to the pan and put it somewhere warm, like next to the radiator or in the oven on a very low setting.

Depends on the phone. On some phones, it is on a separate tiny board which is cheap to replace. If it’s on the motherboard, it requires soldering, and it can be fucked if the copper pads get torn.

Slower is usually better for the battery, use it if you charge at night. It also decreases the wear on the usb port.

A bread machine. Had good reviews. I used it like 3 or 4 times. The mixing things are too small to mix the dough properly, and having to fish them out of the bread after it was done was a huge hassle. The bread was not great… Shell was too hard, and the top side didn’t cook properly. Then I realized, I could basically do the same with a planetary mixer that can mix the dough and the normal oven, and the end result was far better.

The honestly prefer the bottom one than the modern 50 step wizards that take 10 seconds for each page to load, and load an ungodly amount of JS scripts.

A company I worked for was using an ancient bug tracking tool (called Pivotal) that looked like a 90s site. It was so fast and responsive. Later, we moved to something modern. It was 10 times worse, significantly slower and overly complex.

With all the recent hype around AI, I feel that a lot of people don’t understand how it works and how it is useful. AI is useful at solving certain types of problems that are really difficult using traditional programming, like finding patterns that aren’t obvious to us.

For example, object recognition is about finding patterns in images. Our brains are great at this, but writing a computer program capable of taking pixels and figuring out if the pattern is there is very hard.

Even if AI is sometimes going to misclassify objects, it can still be useful. For example, in a factory you can use AI to find defects in the production line. Even if you don’t get it perfect, going from 100 defects per 1M products to 10 per million is a huge difference and saves the factory a lot of money.

Writing the actual code is the easy part. Thinking about what to write and how to organize it so it doesn’t become spaghetti is the hard part and what being a good developer is all about.

And then use AI to take some bullet points and turn them into a well formatted response.

AI has poisoned the well it was fed from. The only solution to get a good AI moving forward is to train it using curated data. That is going to be a lot of work.

On the other hand, this might be a business opportunity. Selling curated data to companies that want to make AIs.

First couple of minutes would be nice to catch up with world events. I would take some time to find money making strategies, like learning what to invest in, or what about to buy. If the person has any knowledge about some revolutionary technology, it would be nice to learn about it. Maybe we could use the knowledge to advance mankind. I would also want to learn about things to watch out for. Maybe I should move to some other country because the one I’m in goes to shit.

Google isn’t any better. And there aren’t a lot phone operating system options you can choose from.
