I honestly think tech hype cycles don't work if people can recognise them as hype cycles.
I think there are a lot of business majors out there with access to a lot of capital and absolutely no technical expertise making decisions about where all the money should go in tech, and experts talking about the limitations of that technology do not reach their ears.
Edit: on reflection I think the hyoe cycles works even if people know it's a cycle, because the investment game here is to pump up the stock, knowing that the bubble is growing, then dump before the bubble bursts. The investment market makes hype cycles happen regardless of whether the tech is vaporware or not, and that's bad for tech in general.
The Luddites were members of a 19th-century movement of English textile workers who opposed the use of certain types of cost-saving machinery, and often destroyed the machines in clandestine raids. They protested against manufacturers who used machines in "a fraudulent and deceitful manner" to replace the skilled labour of workers and drive down wages by producing inferior goods.

You mean the manifest destiny that was a direct inspiration for lebensraum, the Nazi expansionist policy? That manifest destiny?
I'm sorry I just think it's funny how fast that comparison comes full circle. It's not even a circle, it's a triangle.
I don't know, maybe comparing Israel's genocide to another genocide that is itself comparable to Nazi genocide is somehow not antisemitic, but I doubt people who call people antisemitic over this sort of thing would see it that way.
Here is another way in which liberals will disappoint you with their lack of political education. There's liberals, conservatives and tankies, and no other options I guess.
Tell me, can you provide me with your definition of the word "tankie"? Because they are a specific thing that represents a fringe pariah of the radical left.
Uuuhhhhh wait. So there have been 17 new versions released and people with 7.6 installs just missed it? I think I still have a 7.6 install and this is the first I've heard of this. I would love to know the history of how people are being advised to go from 7 to 24.
I think it would make sense to have a specialised forum for it. The question & answer format requires data that Lemmy just isn't able to fully replicate as it is.
Also the community editable nature of stack exchange is really unique and more like a wiki than a standard forum/branching discussion threads, where we're presumed to have sole ownership of all of our posts.
Basically any member is allowed to edit anyone else's question or answer. The changes may go up before or after review by mods depending on the member's trust level. I've had my questions changed before. It can be kind of annoying but I understand they're doing it to maintain some level of quality.
No, there are a number of differences. There's questions & answers under which there are comments, and a bunch of other functionality. It's so different to a standard threaded forum that you may as well build a new system from scratch. I honestly think it would be less work than trying to shoehorn lemmy into this role, and have another fediverse ecosystem built around it.
This idea that anonymity breeds toxicity seems to be a piece of received wisdom that people just assume, but I would honestly love to know if there's any real information to back it up.
Oh you mean how echo chambers get created. Yeah, that's almost entirely down to Facebook's scummy algorithms, not an inherent feature of people. Facebook had tools to prevent the spread of hate on their platform and noticed they reduced revenue so they turned them off. This is entirely down to that platform being controlled by a single entity with no regard for the people who use it.
Well actually I think you'll find that the face you make has no bearing on the validity of any of the arguments posed, and furtherm... furthermore I would posit th... st... um..
I have a simple solution to this: I am not playing the game.
Games are necessarily voluntary, otherwise they're something else. Just because someone wrote in the rules of the game that everyone is playing doesn't make it true.
Yes it does according to the principle of voluntary participation.
If you have a different principle you want to propose that explains how a person - or all people - can be forced into playing a game just because someone said so, then we can discuss it.
They explain in the video that SODIMM socketted RAM is bulky and power hungry. The low power chips used to need to be soldered, but this is a new way to use the low power smaller chips with a socket. That's the difference.
And it's especially confusing for people who use sane measurement systems where "mil" is short for "millimetre", because it's just the start of the word. I think anyone that still insists on measuring things in thousandths of an inch should keep their own bespoke lingo too, and everyone else should steadfastly refuse to acknowledge "mil" in this context.
So I spent a good minute or two trying to figure out those words assuming it was some dialect of english, and after seeing that video it turns out they're just the lyrics to Pumped Up Kicks mangled up a bit.
What if I told you that television shows were dangerous? It's true. In the year 2000, four out of every five injuries occurred in a home that owned a VHS copy of Robocop III. Someone might say, "That's compelling Robocorrelation, but that data alone does not suggest Robocausation." Fine. But maybe your first instinct was to say, "Robocop III is a movie, not a TV show, you fucking dumbass." If so, then congratulations, idiot, you're a Technical Genius. You're smart enough to spot a technicality, but too dumb to know everyone else did too and it was light years away from the point. You're the kind of person who tells your doctor, "Um, it's Chief Chirpa?" when he tells you that getting the Wicket doll out of your asshole will require surgery. "And, um," you'll add, "it's an action figure? Maybe you should have gone to a non-stupid medical school."
Maybe the length of the saber doesn't scale linearly. Maybe there's some extremely fast dropoff in effectiveness after a couple of feet.
And the power limitations of the phasers seem to me like they require some kind of capacitor to charge up and release in a burst. Plus maybe the tip of the phaser would overheat under sustained fire.
And sure, you could say "add more tips", but we've tried that with gun barrels IRL for the same reason. They're heavy & unwieldy so they only get used for mounted guns, like with the minigun.
Almost everything I know about CAD is from the hbomberguy video, and every time I see a shitpost about it all I can think about is what the original could have been, and I have no good way of finding out.

Just to add on to this, if OP is printing this standing then it really should be laid on iits side, so that the hole in the handle is facing up & down, not sideways. Looking at this print that's definitely how it should be printed. Vertical not only runs into layer time issues, but it's a tall, thin object with loads of layer seams in the middle. It will be extremely weak. Lying down the layers run along the length of it, making it stronger. If the hole is sideways, then one side of the handle makes a giant bridge, which could fail the print entirely or need lots of supports.
I imagine the designer very intentionally made it to print on its side.
Oh and put the embossed arrow facing up, assuming the other side is flat.
I think Israeli apologists have become a little too conditioned to jump to weaponised charges of antisemitism. It's been so easy and effective to deploy for so long that it's a bit of an addiction, and they're just going to keep slamming that button expecting it to keep paying out even though it's not working any more.
EDIT: I should've read the article, but I'm taking the L and leaving this up with a strikethrough. The phrasing "after" in the headline definitely creates the wrong impression here. As for what this says about people, I guess we'll have to see if the other ten whistleblowers still testify.
And if you think it's too much to assume Boeing killed these two people, that's the wrong question. It matters more whether as a fellow whistleblower it's reasonable to worry about whether Boeing killed them, and I think it is.
Also Boeing definitely killed the first guy at least. "If I die, it's not suicide." - man who "committed suicide". WTAF.
If you ever hear anyone talking about how humans suck and we're all terrible and will definitely destroy ourselves, just think about the fact that killing whistleblowers was quickly followed by more whistleblowers. Not just lone heros, but ten fucking people said, "hey, fuck you, are you really gonna kill me too?" knowing that the answer could well be "yes".
Yeah, bad customers can ruin your day, but I remember doing customer service that one good customer with a nice smile can make your day good again. That's why I always make an effort to be as nice as possible.
We haven't done nothing. There's Rojava and the EZLN building whole competing systems. There's loads of people doing mutual aid or building cooperative economic structures all over the world, and those movements are gaining a lot of traction as people are waking up to how shit things are.
You don't usually hear about all these projects, in the same way you may not notice termites hollowing out a structure until it's far too late to save it.
I found these kind of cool as an idea, as they can be added rather easily to existing cities and provide some greenery without taking up space, while providing shade:...
High tension steel cable is strong though, I wouldn't be very concerned about it. And we have plenty of experience keeping it safe from weathering from using it in all those bridges.
If you want those questions answered then ask the designers. I do not know what made you think I was the person to ask this. I am not here to defend or debate the comprehensive features of this system.
Okay, fair enough, sorry I was a bit short with you. Steel cable is astonishingly strong and as long as it's correctly engineered it won't be an issue. Wind loading is going to be included in the calculations for just about any structure, especially this, but whether wind could like... toss the dirt off of them I don't know. I thought that's what you were asking.

We have to keep secret all this material that may or may not be toxic but is definitely all around us because otherwise tyre makers might not be able to sell us as many tyres, and that's really important for some reason.
