Not to mention, it’s a standard now, and the old Supercharger protocol is being phased out in favor of another standardized one (I forget which). Further development done on their chargers from here on out is going to be done by a consortium of companies rather than in-house anyway.

Somebody needs to get on deduplicating UTF8 ASAP

That’s reasonable. I pulled that info from Wikipedia, and I don’t speak Japanese, so I just was going off that.

That’s great and all, but for those of us that do speak English and are expecting certain grammatical norms, eschewing those norms, regardless of the validity of the reason, makes it significantly harder for us to parse.

The question mark is not a rare piece of punctuation, either. It’s used in China. It’s used in Japan. It’s used in Vietnamese, every Romance language I’ve ever encountered, and every Germanic language I’ve ever encountered. I’m not saying I understand all those languages, but I can certainly recognize when someone’s asking a question in one because the question mark remains the same.

This is a piss-poor excuse and reeks of the attitude of one who’s never encountered a language that doesn’t use the Latin Alphabet even in passing. Oh yeah, by the way, it’s called the Latin Alphabet, not the English Alphabet.

To add on to what everyone else is saying, compared to the Apollo capsules, Starship is fucking HUGE. Apollo 11’s capsule was 10 feet tall by 13 feet in diameter. Starship is 180 feet tall not including the launch vehicle.

Edit to add: Mercury was literally just an ICBM with a dude strapped on top, with Saturn V being based on that design. We’re only now beginning to make designs that are actually made just for space travel.

Both of your comments hurt in that way only the truth is capable of hurting.

It changes the question from “why not use duck” to “what does duck really add to bing”

The most recent case you can find is from 2006? Jesus, dude. Please, I beg of you, get outside and interact with a person face to face. It has to have been years for you at this point.

Insulting someone doesn’t make it racist just because the other person is a different race from you.

Also, the meme was started by Chinese people.

I’m allowed to criticize my government without being hauled off to fucking jail, how’s that for freedom?

Just because the Winnie the Pooh meme isn’t actually racist doesn’t mean I’m not going to call it racist in a pathetic attempt to establish a fake moral high ground over people who have arguments I can’t counter

There, I fixed it for you.

I never expected Watchmen to become a documentary.

Then they either have some exemption or end up benefiting from the law in some indirect but significant way.

The digitized version won’t be sitting on a shelf catching the eye of curious students though. Discoverability suffers significantly.

In my world we prioritize one. And that not the one.

Then I’m really glad I don’t live in that world.

If you can’t see that writing readable code is part of the means to that end, I don’t know what to tell you. If nobody can maintain the codebase because it’s a mess of spaghetti logic and 20-deep dependency trees (I’m looking at you, every JavaScript project I’ve ever seen), the end product is going to suffer while also making every single engineer working on it want to leave.

This is not a controversial take in professional software development.

Funny, it sure seems like “maintainability should not be a priority” is a pretty controversial take to me.

What an utterly blind, self-centered view. Write good, readable code so you can actually maintain it and so your coworkers don’t want to kill you.

Opterons were so bad though, and it’s still difficult to get an Epyc machine for cheap.

Actually, it looks like renewables have overtaken coal, with the majority of fossil fuel energy being provided by natural gas plants. I’m personally fine with newer LNG plants, since they (1) are actually quite clean, and (2) burn a byproduct that we get from making gasoline.

I don’t have feelings one way or the other for the guy. I was responding to what I read. Get help.
