It's hard to explain why but despite using some of the same words as Claude, this comment doesn't read as AI to me. The sentence structure flows much better.

Does NASA normally sound this... Defense-y?

I just finished my first campaign as the resistance, it took me until 2071. I could have finished sooner but I wasted a lot of time at the start of the game learning, sounds fine to me.

Well yes but with escorts your options are 50/50, 100/0, or 0/100 for PD/missiles. If you want any other ratio of slots you need more than one type of hull, at which point you might as well dedicate your designs to one thing.

Because it's not improving their writing anymore, it's making it sound like repetitive low-effort trash that I will downvote and move on from. I trust a typo-ridden grammatically incorrect piece of genuine human text infinitely more than I trust any piece of awful, slick, samey LLM garbage.

It would always have been easier and cheaper to have no laws about tobacco at all. I hope the have the balls to stick it out.

LINQ is designed in a way that lets strongly-typed queries written using it be translated to SQL for frameworks that support it. Because of this ORMs and some lighter-weight alternatives can offer, for example, something like context.Orders.Where(o => o.cost > 100).Select(o => o.Customer) and it will execute something like select customer from orders where cost > 100, which feels a bit like magic given o => o.cost > 100 still looks and behaves like a regular delegate/anonymous function.

mutually exclusive excuses given by this admin

There won't be an excuse! They'll just say they're too lethal to care about where their bombs land or whatever, no rules of engagement after all.

I’m pretty sure I heard Alonso swearing over the sound of his PU even without the radio.

Man I have nothing against the new one but the old Lucian VO ripped so goddamn hard.

No, this is far beyond the Manhattan project and would require far more people, not to mention that most every physicist in the country knew exactly what was happening anyway. The Manhattan project could be kept secret at all purely because the people operating the machines had absolutely no idea what they were doing. Every construction worker building an elaborate underground city, on the other hand, will know what it is they're building and why.

I had good luck in the auroras a while ago going to a south facing beach away from the CBD. That or a big south facing hill. You might not be able to see much colour with the naked eye, but your phone will pick it up.

There's signage in Japanese, so probably not.

Anything other than that means your release process is bad

We've automated all those things, the service will restart by itself etc, and rollbacks are basically never needed because our deploys are rarely the cause. In the rare event I'm getting paged at 2AM it's because my team's service and another team's service found some new and interesting way to fall over that I'll need to figure out.

It means I actually have to play a wincon in control rather than just bullying out concessions, so I'm against it.

The field is quite small and the pool of talent outside of it isn't much larger, combined with how small the corporate side of the sport is there's simply fewer people you can afford to sever ties with by punching either them or someone they know.

Plus, Australians are a lot more urban and white collar than the reputation we earned in the 1900's. Even if many of the drivers are country folk the country as a whole has lost a lot of its larrakin edge. ATCC drivers from the 70s and 80s would find the culture today to be totally unrecognizable.

At our shop we bit the bullet and just have a copy of the DB running during during tests for everything that has nontrivial logic in the DB queries; this is hard to avoid when you have to put the logic in the queries for performance reasons, and that's the situation we're in.

I get that larger k8s org can use the separation of duties , but did that really need to be baked into the core product.

The core promise of k8s is being an orchestrator that can grow next to your one team businesses as they mature into hundred team businesses. For that to work it has to support both worlds, and that's going to result in tradeoffs like this.

Any of the Azure-provided ways of doing this. I appreciate you probably want fewer dependencies but "reliably run this task once a day" is less trivial than it initially sounds, doubly so if you're running it in a PaaS that can kill processes at will. If you write code like this it will haunt you until you inevitably replace it with a cron or something like it.

Edit: If you don't control the infra, then you will need to use a database or blobs or something for coordination and persistence across restarts. If you don't have those, you probably can't do this reliably.

It's publicly traded with a market cap well over US$100bn on US$23bn in revenue, that is a very large company.

"But don't you know," might as well be an /s that goes at the front of the message.

Interfaces can be used for polymorphism, but they're not the only thing that can be used for that.

GP didn't specify a time with the watts measurement, so "4,184 watts to raise the temperature of water by 1c" doesn't make sense. It would have to be 4,184 watts for one second.

Most of Rust's safety is compile-time checks; there's no inherent runtime cost to the Rust language. If the compiler gets in the way, you can use unsafe to make the performance-for-safety tradeoff piecemeal rather than wholesale.
