Fuck trump and all but he literally did not say he would stop all electric car sales. He said he would stop all sales of Chinese brand cars manufactured in Mexico.

The “you’re not going to be able to sell those cars” line is about 32 minutes in.

Apparently Ondsel recently announced they’re shutting down, partially due to this release. A lot of what Ondsel added to the FreeCAD experience is just merged into FreeCAD now. Sad to see it but at least all their work wasn’t for nothing.

If you’re excited about the Linux desktop, you had no chance to be a teen tiktok star in any timeline.

Least it’s an improvement over no/low code. You can dig in and unfuck some ai code easily enough but god help you if your no code platform has a bug that only their support team can fix. Not to mention the vendor lock in and licensing costs that come with it.

There are 2 different physical sensations for tasting salt. One for low salt that tastes good and one for high salt that tastes bad. This is believed to help regulate salt intake.

GMOs aren’t inherently bad but many crops are genetically modified to be resistant to glyphosate and other herbicides so they can douse the fields with the stuff.

It is. It also doesn’t work like it does in the movies so unless you’re looking for an industrial solvent or a bad high it’s not good for much.

I mean, it was 26 years after the pope thing but she did convert to Islam. Even changed her name.

I’m absolutely biased as a data engineer who loves SQL, but there are some good reasons why SQL has been the de facto standard for interacting with databases since the 80s.

One of its draws is that it’s easy to understand. I can show a stakeholder that I’m selecting “sum(sale_amount) from transactions where date=yesterday” and they understand it. Many analysts are even able to write complicated queries when they don’t know anything else about programming.

Since it’s declarative, you rarely have to think about all the underlying fuckery that lets you query something like terabytes of data in redshift in minutes.

Debugging is often pretty nice too. I can take some query that didn’t do what it was supposed to and run it over and over in a console until the output is right.

Pi is just kinda like that. It pops up everywhere if you look hard enough for it.

That error is saying you’re trying to move/rename the file to a name that’s already being used. Can’t do that on windows either.

That said, I’ve seen some weird issues with bulk file copies in Linux file explorers. Cli usually works better.

There’s an open source period tracker called drip that doesn’t collect your data. Everything is kept local. My wife used it for a while and learned some things about her cycle. It was also cool being able to know almost exactly when she’d be on her period 2 months ahead of time.

AI upscaling is great for creative endeavors but not ideal for anything trying to be an objective source of truth about the world.

Glad you figured out something that worked for you. Don’t be such a dick next time and you’ll find everyone will be more helpful.

Japanese rice prices are a weird combination of inflation, panic buying, inefficient farming, and a bureaucracy managing it all that actively wants rice to be more expensive. This video has a really good explanation of it.
