Ah yes survivorship bias.

Becomes easier to internalize when you get old enough to start to see the "crap new stuff" when you were young become the "stuff that lasts forever".

I didn't build a home but did buy a house that was recent construction. We had an inspector go over the place and he was shocked...

Evidently they actually did a respectable job building the house, evidently the best foundation and attic he had ever seen. He found a couple of things due to settling and some minor wear, but everything was just done right.

I hope you mean primaries, because voting them out at the general election doesn't exactly get you better results.

I'll go a bit further and say this particular hill is not the best one to choose, as presidents have long unilaterally launched military operations and it's been broadly declared legal, even if it makes no sense. Changing the law would be good, but as the law stands, it's a hard argument to make that Trump should be impeached because of his unilateral decision to strike Iran but every other president in recent history shouldn't have been impeached over their unilateral strikes.

Need to select some way in which he has behaved illegally, in a way that looks corrupt, and in a way that is different than other presidents that have been given free passes. He seems to give such circumstances pretty routinely, so I don't know why you'd go for this one.

I hope that's the net result, just afraid that so many others will be dismissive of someone asserting autism, particularly with certain folks seeming to think being autistic is a license to be inconsiderate while claiming it also means you are smart and so is worth declaring a self-diagnosis.

From what I've seen if an online store provides a 16 bit classic without a reimplementation, it's bundled with dosbox.

Of course, I'm pretty much blanking on any classic Win16 titles of note. As far as I recall the significant games just kept being DOS games with at most launch from icon. I suppose original Myst because QuickTime, but they released a Win32 build. But this 16 bit stuff was a speculation, this is about the 32 bit stuff that isn't reasonably accommodated without a 32 bit runtime and certain bits being at odds with Flatpak isolation architecture.

I'm not sure exactly what you expect of him?

It's not a tantrum, just a statement of limitation. The primary reason for Bazzite to exist is to have a SteamOS-like Fedora. He mentions, in depth, how the 'simple' answer about using flatpak doesn't work, because flatpak imposes isolation in ways that are incompatible with the use case.

His options seem to be to be "polite" and quiet right up until the change gets approved and implemented and only then yank the rug out from his community, or make the broader community know the implications of removed 32-bit userspace support.

This seems to be the whole point of soliciting feedback, to know what you are likely to break. It would be supremely odd if you make a proposal, solicit feedback, and call any mention of a bad consequence a 'tantrum' when that was the whole point of framing it as a proposal.

Seems like he needs either Steam to go 64-bit or for Fedora to keep 32-bit since flatpak can't help and, presumably, he doesn't want to try to take on the maintenance burden of trying to carry forward Fedora's 32-bit rpms for the same reason Fedora is trying to get out of carrying them forward. Assuming the broad community decides Fedora 32-bit userspace is still needed, then it's far less incremental work for Fedora to maintain along 64-bit than it is to independently add it back.

improved how we recognize and diagnose it.

Well, we at least have changed how we recognize and diagnose it, I'm not totally convinced it's 100% an "improvement". We've kind of jumbled up a whole bunch of people under a common umbrella and diluted the implications of the term, to the point where it tells you negligible practical information when someone is described as "autistic" or "on the spectrum".

Ok, I'm going to make a new nutritional supplement: "oops! all electrons!"

On this specific point, I'd say that neither side seemed poised to pull that again. GOP has historically kicked off the biggest conflicts, but Trump's rhetoric and even his first term seemed consistent with "it's not worth risking American military over foreign crap" in a break from the broader GOP.

His second term seems to have shifted that and you can see it as it fractured his base, to the point where Trump supporters threw "America First" in his face and he petulantly declared HE gets to decide what "America First" means because he "invented' it.

Conversely, you can't have a house, you have no credit.

Fine I just paid off a 1.50 loan for a hot dog.

Ok, now you can borrow 500k because you proved yourself responsible with $1.50

Reality isn't too far off, back in the day I couldn't get a loan because I had zero credit history, but then could get a mortgage after a few months of getting a credit card with like a 500 dollar credit limit.

Keep in mind this is a system with millions of miles under it's belt and it still doesn't understand what to do with a forced left turn lane in a very short trip in a fairly controlled environment with supremely good visual, road, and traffic conditions. LIDAR wouldn't have helped the car here, there was no "whoops, confusining visibility", it just completely screwed up and ignored the road markings.

It's been in this state for years now, of being surprisingly capable, yet horrible screw ups being noted frequently. They seem to be like 95% of the way there and stuck, with no progress in reality just some willfull denial convincing them to move forward anyway.

That safety driver did not give a single fuck about driving on the wrong side of the road..

Which brings up an interesting question, when is a driverless car 'parked' vs. 'stopped'?

Navigation issue / hesitation

The video really understates the level of fuck up that the car did there...

And the guy sitting there just casually being ok with the car ignoring the forced left going straight into oncoming lanes and flipping the steering wheel all over the place because it has no idea what the hell just happened... I would not be just chilling there..

Of course, I wouldn't have gotten in this car in the first place, and I know they cherry picked some hard core Tesla fans to be allowed to ride at all...

The thing that strikes me about both this story and the thing you posted is that the people in the Tesla seem to be like "this is fine" as the car does some pretty terrible stuff.

In that one, Tesla failing to honor a forced left turn instead opting to go straight into oncoming lanes and waggle about causing things to honk at them, the human just sits there without trying to intervene. Meanwhile they describe it as "navigation issue/hesitation" which really understates what happened there.

The train one didn't come with video, but I can't imagine just letting my car turn itself onto tracks and going 40 feet without thinking.

My Ford even thinks about going too close to another lane and I'm intervening even if it was really going to be no big deal. I can't imagine this level of "oh well".

Tesla drivers/riders are really nuts...

Who am I, Parker Lewis?

Ah yes, spend 30 minutes to download an image and print it out on your dot matrix printer to hide for use when you can't access the computer.

Specifically, the magazines in the back of your older cousins closet they think they hid.

But you can get fancy, you visit your cousin overnight, who doesn't have a spare bedroom so you just have to sleep on his couch in front of the TV that has just all of the channels on satellite... Especially those channels

Unfortunately the Pentium 60 botches your blockchain with some bad floating point operations.
