Our entire company wants metric. The guidance folk want to do their modeling in metric. The prop team wants to do fluid/thermo in metric. The structures team wants to do load analysis in metric.
But the boys at the 'pad are imperial only. The water system, fuel tanks, all ground infra is in imperial. If someone runs down to the hardware store they can easily find a fitting, gasket, or o ring in imperial. But metric? Good luck.
So our company decided to support both. The flight computer and ground software did unit conversions, everything was unit-aware, telemetry was occasionally manually converted because the onscreen wasn't the right unit. We had written our own turing complete, inhouse programming language and we ended up implementing dual-static typing. We had float, int, bool and then we had units where some operations required the units to be the same thing. So cm and inch but not inch and kilogram.
The project was terribly mismanaged. To this day some still wonder why.
Is this real and safe? Why is Microsoft letting it be hosted on their own platform?
I looked at the code but the "single file version" is 10377 lines of Batch. They want me to do the power shell equivalent of curl abc.com | bash. The official website looks legit but I have no idea if this is safe or how they're doing it.
Because building a chip design branch is a very large undertaking.
Chips are expensive to design
Expensive to manufacture
you need to buy millions and millions of them
the lifecycle of a chipset has a much longer tail than their metaverse attempt
It's surprising because they invested all that money on a product they don't know is going to take off (metaverse) and the chips won't be ready for a very long time.
What kind of chip are they even building? There are massive corporations that have spent a very long time building performance, low power cores (Apple, Qualcomm, Samsung) but instead of buying from them they want to reinvent the wheel.
It's surprising because Facebook thinks they can catch up to the other chip design companies which takes an enormous amount of investment over decades. It's not a 1, 2, or 5 year thing.
So, now I'm curious. Can you please explain why you think this is a very normal and unsurprising thing for Facebook to try and do?
Also, are you even a chip designer? Are you even an engineer at all?
Who are you even arguing to? Literally no one disagrees with you. Someone even replied to you to say they don't disagree with you and you doubled down. You gotta relax man.
You made me think that there should be a private tor-inspired VPN. Users pay money to the VPN company and that VPN company pays 3rd parties to build out their network.
I would remittance the fuck out of that money. She's got family in Slovenia. Idk what kind of person she is but I'd build out a business empire or something.
I just came off a bipolar induced manic phase. I hyper focused on eve and played it literally 8-12 hours a day for a few weeks.
The game is fun. It's a slow burn and a lot of the allure comes from the setting itself. I don't have nearly enough time to play anymore. Getting your ship into the pvp zone, finding a group, and finding a fight can easily take an hour.
It depends on who you're hiding from. If you want to keep the GRU off your back then burner phones sound great. If I don't want Google to know too much about me then burner phones, generic credit cards, and tor are probably overkill.
Yeah this. Google has no interest in determining if your data is real or not. They don't care. They only care that the customer isn't aware of the scam.
Can we take a step back for a second and think about the human condition that led someone to need a moral argument to get off X? What kind of pathetic, fucked up mind do you have where you can't just uninstall the app you have to appeal to morality.
First don't rely on morals to make your argument. It, unfortunately, does not change capitalist minds.
Second, frame your argument in capitalist rhetoric. For example you can say, "UBI is important to stimulate the economy by enabling Low-Income-Americans to spend more on essentials."
Seriously, not joking, this is how you change people's minds.
These pedantic Lemmy nerd fights remind me of how I learned so much on early reddit reading similar arguments.
