If it’s someone else’s job to design things, then that’s a pretty terrible specification. But depending on your role, it’s common enough for there to be one person who designs and builds a feature like “User projects dashboard”, and the job is to decide what’s important based on the product. Especially with smaller companies.

Am I the only one left writing pure JS webpages? I swear for the stuff I’ve done recently, adding React or even jQuery makes things 10x more complicated and bloated. The base JS support browsers have now is actually great. It’s not like the old days trying to support every browser back to IE6

Yet another reason why we need side loading to be possible!

self.gender = 1.63-2.1j 🤔

Honestly an airline tycoon game could be a game on it’s own where you have to manage airports, passengers, cargo, routes, etc… Especially if you could mod in, or build your own planes. Sounds fun

Yep, needs to check if the next step has ground, otherwise you’re already falling.

do {
    say("I use Arch btw");
} while ( they.interested );

This loop never runs twice.

Alpine linux is already in the lockercontainer.

The ecommany is doing just fine!

Woah, what year is it?

In the Roman Empire, average life expectancy at birth was only 25 years. If you lived through childhood, then you could expect to live until around 50. Less than 10% of the population made it past 55, compared to 87% of US males living past 55 as of 2020. (source1, source2)

Well, we can see the reflection of sky in the paint. I’m sure the camera’s white balance could make it look either color though.

That’s how the second one ended, not the first one. The first one actually had a final image.

I’m a hobbyist mechanic and I absolutely love how simple older vehicles are. There’s one wire for each thing. The door doesn’t need it’s own computer module like modern vehicles…

In my newest vehicle (a Ford truck), I pulled the fuse for the cellular modem, since I don’t need the manufacturer tracking my every move. Checking my tire pressure or fuel level from my phone is not a feature I care about. Remote start still works fine with the key fob.

There’s getting to be fewer and fewer new vehicles I would even consider buying because of all this interconnected nonsense.

The first r/place in 2017 was genuinely special. It was totally unique, and it was a really cool social experiment to see how people could collaborate. By the time the second one came out it was obvious the bots were out in full force. None of my individual contributions lasted long. I have zero interest in doing it again.

My local library has a little maker space with a 3d printer and laser cutter/engraver you can book time on. It’s pretty awesome.

I had my first “What time is it?!?” moment a couple days ago while browsing lemmy. Hours had passed, and I didn’t even notice.

The article you linked makes no mention of maintenance and infrastructure emissions. There’s just a single table that seems to be based on fuel emissions at the time of travel. It’s also specific to existing rail infrastructure, which is fine, but for the purposes of argument and comparison, it would be ideal to compare the most efficient bus/roadway system with the most efficient rail system. Zero-emissions trains exist, yet somehow just maintaining the rail line would completely offset that according to your argument?

Asphalt is an oil product, yes, but it still needs to be processed and turned into asphalt. That also emits pollution. So does transporting it to the destination, and all the other environmental factors with building up a road surface. You can’t just hand wave that away “because we already made a ton of it”. That’s not how sustainability works. We’re explicitly trying to reduce our reliance on oil.

You also seem to be ignoring that rail lasts orders of magnitude longer than asphalt, and don’t constantly have to be patched and repaired for pot holes. Steel is also one of the most recycled materials on the planet. (Nearly 70% of all steel here in the US is recycled). Melting down old cars or whatever into new rail tracks uses significantly less energy than refining new metal.

“Conductors” as in any piece of metal that conducts electricity? Those overhead wires are also conductors, and will see some energy loss over their length like any other conductor.
