You don't have to take your eyes off the road to operate a control. You might need to learn where some are in a new car, but then you instinctively reach for and operate the ones you use all the time. It's muscle memory.
This is not the case in a touch screen where controls may or may not be visible at any given time and you have no chance of operating them unless you physically look at the screen to control where you touch it. Maybe this arrangement is fine for some non-critical functions, but it absolutely isn't for critical ones.
What is worse is that cars from Tesla are even getting rid of indicator stalks which is fantasically dangerous. Maybe it's not a big deal in the US where roundabouts are uncommon but they are all over the place in Europe and the rest of the world and lack of indicators will cause crashes and fatalities. Just so Elon Musk could save a few bucks on a stalk. And if that results in a lower EuroNCAP score then boohoo for him. I can imagine the raging and legal threats that he'll engage in if that happens.
Personally I think that the following car functions should be mandatory physical controls - wipers, indicators, hazards, side/headlights, door locks, defogger / defroster, electronic parking brake. forward/reverse/neutral/park. And they should be controls that have fixed position in the car (i.e. not on the wheel) with positive and negative feedback.
And fuck Tesla or any other manufacturer that wants to cheap out on a couple of bucks by removing them. Removing physical controls has obvious safety implications to drivers who are distracted trying to find icons on a tablet.
It would be better to "git clone" a repo under threat of removal than fork it in Github. That way an entire copy of its history is preserved. It's possible the forks still exist for now, even if Yuzu removes their official repo, but if Nintendo serves Github the legal paperwork then the forks will get blasted.
That said if someone clones the repo, they probably ought to think twice before putting it back in the cloud without sanitizing / reconstructing the branches & history absent of the bits that got Yuzu into trouble in the first place.
Yuzu gave them the opening to sue though. If they had been more circumspect - "Oh this is to develop homebrew / indie games nudge nudge" then maybe Nintendo wouldn't have unleashed the lawyers or done so ineffectively. After all it wouldn't be Yuzu's fault if some wicked website corrupted their pure intentions by releasing device keys or patches that allowed their emulator run commercial games. But they were more blatant than that.
Also from an empathic perspective, of course Nintendo were going to sue. Yuzu should have known they would since that's what console platforms do when something interferes with their profits. Yuzu is doubly bad since it interferes with hardware sales and game sales unlike custom firmware / cartridges which only affect game sales.
Of course the genie is already out of the bottle. Yuzu's source code and binaries were on github for anyone to clone / fork. All the games are out in the wild. The piracy will carry on. I think it's fair to say the NSP is effectively dead as a platform at this point. If a NSP2 turns up this year, as rumored, then I expect it will have revised anti-piracy measures and potentially a heavy online service aspect to go with it - it's far easier to detect pirates and wield the banhammer when a device is online.
They’re all, perhaps with the exception of raw steel-cut oats, or plain bran, pretty simple carbohydrates, and you add sugar in the form of lactose on top to eat them. Pretty sure none of them are a net positive to health.
The UK diabetes website says they're fine. I'm sure if you were diabetic you would be extra careful about milk, portion size though. For everyone else they're about as low sugar as cereal gets, whether we're talking breakfast cereal, or cereal in fields cereal.
The problem is, that most languages have no native support other than 32 or 64 bit floats and some representations on the wire don't either. And most underlying processors don't have arbitrary precision support either.
So either you choose speed and sacrifice precision, or you choose precision and sacrifice speed. The architecture might not support arbitrary precision but most languages have a bignum/bigdecimal library that will do it more slowly. It might be necessary to marshal or store those values in databases or over the wire in whatever hacky way necessary (e.g. encapsulating values in a string).
That largely depends on the cereal. In the UK there are popular cereal types which have very little sugar in them - oats, weetabix, shredded wheat, ready brek that are fine for diabetics. The worst offenders would be kids cereals & anything overtly sugary as well as things like granola, muesli etc. Things like cornflakes, shreddies, rice krispies sit somewhere at the low end - not healthy per se but fairly low in sugar
Assuming someone by necessity needed to do that, then a bowl of porridge would be better than cereal. It would be cheaper to buy, more filling & nutritious. And someone that cash strapped shouldn't be eating Kelloggs cereals at all since the generic equivalent probably costs half the price and tastes the same.
I'm hoping for they seize something big and humiliating to his reputation. Wouldn't be surprised if we learn though that Trump Tower or whatever is mortgaged up the ass so the value in seizing it is far less than it's the building's valuation as a total. So that'll be fun since they might have to seize multiple properties. Doesn't have to be confined to NY either, they can enforce seizures on his golf courses, Mar a Lago etc.
He doesn't have to post an appeal bond (otherwise known as a supersedeas bond) to appeal but not doing so means the plaintiff can seize the money pending the outcome of the appeal and can do so how they see fit after 30 days of the judgement.
So on the one hand he could put up various properties as sureties to a bond company and post bond and at least retain control & income from those properties pending appeal. Or he can fail to post bond let the plaintiffs seize what they like regardless of the harm it causes his reputation and business. I'm pretty sure E Jean Carroll and New York would be quite happy to force him to sell off Trump Tower or whatever else to meet his obligations.
But regarding surety & bond, I wonder what bond company would trust Trump's valuations of his own properties. They'll probably demand he put so much up in surety that he'd balk at it. Hence why shady foreign business men might enter the picture.
The funny part is how so far Trump hasn't posted a bond for the appeal. Trump doesn't *have * to do it but the consequences of not doing so are basically calamitous - if he doesn't post bond then the state can seize and sell off his property to the amount he owes. Then both sides fight about it for a year or whatever while the money sits in the court's account and he is deprived of revenue from the properties sold. Oh and the interest keeps accruing. And the lawyer bill will be in the tens of millions.
I'm sure the state won't be sensitive to his reputation when deciding what to seize to cover the debts. Can you imagine the hilarity that would ensue if they sold off Trump Tower or one of his other flagship properties?
So Trump is screwed. If he does somehow post bond there will be a lot of people asking how he managed it since he surely doesn't have the cash. In that case expect firesales of his other properties and loans from super shady foreign businessmen.
Yes it is. Doubt that is the case here at all. It was a profoundly stupid act that leaves everyone scratching their heads. Best comparison I've seen is if a Confederate soldier set themselves alight to protest slavery and even the Union is going wtf.
For all you know he self immolated because he hadn't been taking his meds. In any event it was a dumb, painful, pointless way to die for somebody who has NOTHING to do with the conflict. If he thought as an airman he was contributing somehow, he could have just resigned.
No, suicidal. Nothing about his death makes any sense to anyone. Wouldn't be surprised if it turns out he was experiencing personal problems or mental health issues.
We had tens of thousands of lines in our rake files to build a bunch of targets, none of which were even Ruby. I think if I needed to build another complex build system that was a directed acyclic graph I think I'd use Gradle, for a several reasons - we had some Java targets so we save on an additional developer runtime, it would run faster & Gradle is more mainstream and easy to get various plugins & documentation for.
It probably wasn't a big deal when it was a niche project until Twitter imploded. Then all the public instances got overloaded with new users and the limits became obvious.
A better design is Lemmy which is written in Rust so it has far more scalability. It's compiled and because it's tokio / actix based, it can also do a lot more stuff asynchronously so it's not spawning thousands of threads to cope with concurrent requests.
There is a lot of magic in Java. Try Spring Boot for example, and things magically connect together with annotations, or somehow methods get injected onto interface on the fly, or an http interface maps onto a function with parameters because the runtime is doing it. This is most evident when you set a break point in some class and there might be 4 or 5 mystery functions it passed through between it and where you thought it was calling from. Sl4j, Lombok, Hibernate are doing the same kind of thing.
I wrote extensively in Ruby but for Rake - using Ruby as a build system. Can't say I liked the language although it was okay for how we used it. We have 20 sub projects with some very complex build targets and dependency scanning going on and the Rake syntax was okay. Personally I think its biggest shortcoming was the documentation was very poor and stuff like gems felt primitive compared to other package management systems. One thing I liked from the language was blocks could evaluate to a value which I really use a lot in Rust too.
I think if I were doing an acyclic dependency build system these days I'd use Gradle probably.
As for Rails I expect failed to catch on because even compared to Python, Ruby is a slow language. And Python isn't fast by any stretch. Projects that started with Rails hit the performance brick wall and moved to something else.
