The breakage may cause a loss of moisture and cause a reduction in the amount of stem with enough moisture to produce gas?
- Comment on Why a new Steam Machine when the first ones flopped? Because this time, Valve say, it'll actually have games 3 days ago:
Im upvoting as this is a valid concern imo.
However, all it’ll take is one studio to find an angle to leverage native linux support in a way that shows its value. What value? I dont know, Im not in that space. But there is a big push from valve here to show devs that this isnt the token effort is was last time, and any effort they put into such a project won’t be wasted.
We just need the killer app, and valve is holding open the space for someone to make it, for now.

I’ve personally got a lot on my plate. In trying to survive. There was a time I was more active, but its a young man’s/woman’s game.

I thought the nazi propaganda on the internet was annoying 20 years ago when I occasionally bumped into it. Now I’ll have to carefully curate the internet to not have to hear it constantly. Jfc.
- Comment on Sounds about right 2 weeks ago:
My CEO told us we need to work faster. 100,000 people and he just makes that blanket statement, like we’re all naughty children for not sleeping on our office floors every night to save commute time.
Literally said he want things that take a week now, he wants done in a day, and a 1 day turn around should now be 1 hr. Did not specify what department or discipline or was referring to. We all just lazy to him.
Of course, this company has the same employees for the last like 10 CEOs. The bulk are just jaded as fuck. Every now and then I see a new hire find the company song and start playing at meetings to lick boot. Then someone pulls him aside to let him know the company was helping the Nazis with eugenics when this was being pushed, so just shut the fuck up, we dont need to be glorifying those idiots.

Yeah, I qualified it as my opinion because I know not everyone agrees. I make sure our cats have many litter boxes, places to nap and places to scratch, and a couple cat buddies. I hope that they do not feel something is being withheld from them. Thats my goal.

They live much shorter lives outdoors. Im not sure how someone could not care about the length of life of something they care about.
- Comment on Mmmm... Yeah. It checks out. 1 month ago:
I see what you mean. I have 3 cats, all girls and spayed. Our neighbor has an outdoor cat (socially acceptable animal cruelty imo), a boy and intact.
They make goo goo eyes at each other through the windows. I dont know what would happen if I let them out, but they look like they’d be friends.
- Comment on Mmmm... Yeah. It checks out. 1 month ago:
I agree and disagree. If you did a large enough trial mleith many animals and people, for each of many test cats in homes, then the data might show this. I just think that even if this hypothesis is true, the reaction to every cat/person won’t be the same for a given test cat. That could be a noisy signal.

Just had a friend die of a heart attack while working in construction with his friends. Didn’t make it to the hospital.
That’s how I want to go. Just times up one day.
- Comment on This Plastic Mr. Fantastic 1 month ago:
I recycle when convenient. I have two can the same company empties, one for trash one for recycling. I’ll fill the recycling, and overflow goes in the trash.
My wife hates it, but the amount of plastic trash that factories produce just blows consumer household recycling out of the water. There are people whose jobs include fillling a whole dumpster each shift. No comparison. Im not bending over backward to be little Dutch boy with my finger in the dam while it’s got a backhoe digging out the foundation.

Legit. Do you need to feed it your code base at all? How does it know what needs to be tested otherwise?

This sounds to me like saying you have enough feathers in the grocery bag you’re holding. All you need now is a beak, and you’ll make yourself a duck.
X doubt

Anyone suggesting Ford or Toyota start 3d printing their fastening hardware in-house should have the head checked.
That’s the point of the analogy. You can do this, but in most cases, you probably shouldn’t, and you will get better results for less time and money with the traditional method.

Ok, im a hardware dev. They’ve tried to make us do software style project management every time there’s a new fad (agile last time). It usually doesn’t fit.
What do you find them useful for in your role? Like a coding partner, you can ask questions? Or linting? Im at a loss in my role. I need to know the proprietary code base to write a single line of value. We aren’t allowing anyone to train an ai on our code. Thats a huge security problem if anyone does.

That’s about being willing to eat the nre for one-off special purpose parts that have geometries not attainable by casting or machining.
3d printing is not the default fabrication method now that we’re getting good at it. It just shines in certain applications.
AI is often pitched as being able to do anything, eventually. We even try to use passive fail safes over active ones, a century after electricity became commonly available. Because that will always be a better solution by the nature of the options. AI is the same way. It is a distillation of human English language that is written. Why you would think that that could eventually replace all software developers, or any other field that produces text as its output makes any sense is beyond me. I can’t see how that could be true.

Like a 1/4 20 bolt? Or and m3 screw?
Or are we talking about spiral threads incorporated into your design?
