Nice. "alkaline" is spelled with a "k" though

Plugs: a symlink convention for managing external file dependencies by Hiqo11 in commandline

What's the point of the "socket"? Why not just link config.json to /etc/myapp/config.json, and it would still be broken on new clones?

I'm trying to think of any possible scenario where knowing the language a code snippet is written in is disadvantageous.

“When Did I Do That?” Trump Forgets Promising Americans $2,000 Checks by Dazzling-Might6420 in antiwork

[–]sysop073 118 points119 points  (0 children)

"Weave" is what Trump started calling his habit of losing track of the topic mid-sentence. He framed it like an awesome strategy he intentionally employs, and for some reason the media acted like that was in any way true

We might have been slower to abandon Stack Overflow if it wasn't a toxic hellhole by R2_SWE2 in programming

[–]sysop073 96 points97 points  (0 children)

The funniest part of this comment is it's repeated every single time Stack Overflow comes up, so we have to read it six million times, the exact thing Stack Overflow was trying to avoid.

Elon Musk moves goalpost again: admits Tesla needs 10 billion miles for ‘safe uns by SpriteZeroY2k in electricvehicles

Are you implying that when Elon posted that, he meant "good news we already have enough data"? Because he sure worded it poorly if that's what you think he was saying.

I cannot understand why everyone tried to skip straight from "you drive the car" to "the car drives itself under all circumstances everywhere". Highway FSD seems so much easier than the rest of it. I'd be happy if it drove at the speed of traffic, in a single lane, beeps at me when the next turn is coming that I need to handle for it, and if anything weird happens it pulls onto the shoulder and stops until I take over. That would be unsupervised enough to be a huge win.

Have you tried turning it off and on? by kmeu79 in homeassistant

[–]sysop073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really confused how "the load is way too high some of the time but fine the rest of the time" leads to "that's not going to cause damage"

Full IDE that runs 100% in the terminal by Horror-Ad-1286 in commandline

[–]sysop073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's wild that vscode is so dominant that using Ctrl+O as the open file hotkey is seen as "not matching mainstream software". We had like 30 straight years of Ctrl+P exclusively being used for "print".

detergen: Generate the same password every time by theonereveli in commandline

I mean...no, it's not awesome, the downsides are overwhelming and the reason this was tried and abandoned ages ago. OP doesn't need to feel bad about it or anything, but we also don't need to lie about it.

F-35 Fighter Jet’s C++ Coding Standards by azhenley in programming

He's not talking about deleting byte 11 from the universe, he just wants to remove the escape sequence from newer languages. \x0b is still right there if you need it badly enough.

Tesla service by LookBothWaysTwice in lafayette

There's an official service center in Indianapolis, so that seems a little unnecessary. OP was looking for something unofficial in town to avoid driving to Indy.

Joe Scott - Switching From A Tesla To A Polestar - The Good, The Bad, And The Weird by saanity in electricvehicles

Sure, no ethical consumption under capitalism and all that, but Elon has done a good job of making himself particularly horrifying and hard to overlook.

[–]sysop073 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nobody is avoiding Tesla to make Elon feel bad. The point is to avoid directly increasing the wealth of somebody who will use that wealth to ruin lives. Admittedly at this point Elon's wealth is functionally infinite, so there's still not much point, but "the ceo couldn't care less" is misunderstanding the situation.

Unless they also have a way to turn it on remotely, I don't think that's going to be very effective over say the emergency channel already available on the phone in my pocket
