I was basing my assessment on the content of the article.

We're a small company so I do the opposite and am avoiding any co-authored tag being applied to the code I publish.

I review and test my code before it's published to make sure that it works and that it's the right solution to the problem, and I'm the one responsible for fixing it if it goes wrong late at night in prod.

That was the case when I was using Intellisense and codegen tools and that's still the case now.

That makes me the author.

Anything else is a lie, a violation of engineering ethics, and is flat out not SOC2, nor regulatorily compliant for anything that matters.

That used to be the case, largely because we used to be really bad at converting AC to DC (and vice versa) so would incur a ton of efficiency loss at the conversion step.

But for the actual on the wire transmission part, high voltage DC is inherently more efficient at long distances because you don't get drift between the voltage and current phase (which reduces its effectiveness).

These days though we are far better at converting DC to AC (and vice versa) so high voltage DC systems are overall more efficient (plus let you connect distribution systems without synchronizing them, or connect ones that operate on different frequencies like 50Hz vs 60Hz).

Their downside is that conversion equipment is still more complicated and slightly more prone to failure then AC systems.

The US has already literary intentionally tried to starve the people of Cuba for decades and it's accomplished nothing.

America's cruelty in service of America's incompetence really exposes what a sad, atrophied husk it's become.

All empires collapse, at least others have managed to do so with dignity.

Trash article and consequently, I no longer trust this outlet.

You want to write an article about purchasing HIMARS then write an article about that. Talk about their role and capabilities and alternatives.

This is just trash that says 'the US used HIMARS in Iran and the US in Iran is bad therefore HIMARS bad. Like yeah, the US also used solar panels in Iran are they bad too?

Ukraine has overwhelming found HIMARs effective in their defense against Russia, is that even mentioned once in the article?

How about a fund that spreads out the money globally?

How about reinstating US international AID at a bare minimum?

Pretty horseshit to act like they trained AI on only American data so only Americans should benefit.

What about the literal entire rest of the world? They get nothing right?

Just another example of America exploiting the world for their own benefit. Even the good ones are so corrupted by their system that they do it without realizing.

In North America I would guess coyote, in Europe, I would guess a fox or feral dog chased him until he found somewhere to hide from it.

Could also just be another cat. Big Tom cats have a tendency to chase other cats around.

 

Business owners on Bathurst are running an astroturf campaign using AI generated videos of fake people to try and stop on-street parking being turned into dedicated transit lanes.

They claim they just want their voices heard, when in reality they're upset that others' collective voices are louder than theirs. They also make nonsense statements like it shouldn't be trade-off, when it inherently is since there is limited street space on Bathurst.

The owners of Summerhill Market seem affiliated with the group but are trying to pretend they're not, and the owner of Minerva Cannabis appears to be one of the leaders of the group, and decision makers behind the AI videos.

Don't buy those crappy plastic bag-clips to hold chip bags, flour bags, etc closed. They're unsatisfying, they wear out and bend, and they just add more plastic pollution to the world.

Instead buy more binder clips. They're made from spring steel, they're strong as hell, they almost never wear out, they can be used to close bags, as small clamps, as hangers for almost anything in a pinch, and they're amazing for building pillow / blanket forts.

I have some from my grandma that she bought 30 years ago and they work just as well as the ones I bought a year ago. The only risk with them ever is rust, and you can just scrub that off with vinegar, add a brush of paint and it's fixed.

Truly some of my favourite robust little items.

 

I can't be the only reddit migrant who often instinctually goes to a given community by typing /r/community, only to be 404d. If the /r/ path isn't being used for anything else, is it possible to have it dynamically redirect to /c/ instead?

 

The federal New Democrats backed Conservative demands Wednesday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau take part in a televised "emergency meeting" on carbon pricing with Canada's premiers.

The federal carbon price is not the "be-all, end-all" of climate policy, and New Democrats are open to alternative plans presented by premiers, NDP environment critic Laurel Collins said Wednesday.
