Of course Brits don't want to become a minority in their home country... who would? We all know how badly they are treated

Absolutely wild comment.

I'd rather have a more ambiguous name that is clarified by context than comments or docs.
create(obj) is useless, but if it is namespaces and properly typed user.create(User user) makes a LOT more sense.
Granted, that is a very narrow example, but it gets the point across: let context carry context, and use it properly.
Something like import {create} from 'user' (and using it with merely create()) is less useful that import * from 'user' (and using it as user.create())

We namespace things to help split up code. Lean on the namespaces when using that code!

Usama Arif found that with the three patches to just probe BMI2 CPU support only once, it yield a 71% reduction in decompression time and a 18% reduction in compression time for a crypto_acomp benchmark.

Wow

It's not really the wattage that's an issue.
If it ran at 600 volts, it would only be 1 amp.

But at 12v, it's 50 amps of current.
Which is a lot.
And it's not massively peaky/bursty, so it needs to withstand that constantly.
Pretty sure something like 10-15mm² cross section of copper is needed for that, which is a thick cable.

But, this is also a problem that has been solved elsewhere. For whatever reason, manufacturers have settled in a terrible solution.

I don't think people care about it, but it seems to trigger some subconscious "I'm too close" and they drop back a bit.

I guess if someone is actually being an asshole aggressive tailgater then they won't care

The best method is to spray your windshield.
Some of it gets swept with the wind into their windshield, and they have to wipe/clean theirs.

I don't think that's ever failed to get someone to back off.

Electrical engineering is just layer 1 on the OSI model.

Or someone in the party mentioned it to a server when they went to the bathroom as a surprise "can you do a special dessert for the person in the wheelchair, it's their birthday".
So the server just added it to the order without knowing where the person was actually seated at the table.

It is. It's called Compulsory Licensing.

There is also an FDA Shortage list (most countries have a similar list).
A drug on that list gives the government additional powers to allow companies to work around the parents.

I think this is why there has been so many "off-brand" weight loss drugs recently. Novo Nordisk had supply chain issues with semaglutide, triggering governments to allow other manufacturers

 

I've been here a while, and I appreciate the community and the defed/hiding list.
I also know programming.dev contributes to upstream Lemmy repos.

I saw another post about another instances funding.
Which reminded me....

Is programming.dev on track for funding?
Need some more donations?
Is there a runway?
