  • Very strange the number of downvotes on this post.

  • Yeah some dude literally posted a meme the day before.

  • are there any certs you would recommend, if they even exist?

    honestly... if I see certs on a resume I immediately get suspicious. In general certs are worth absolutely nothing and if there are too many of them they will actually make me less likely to recommend someone for a position. Experience is way more valuable than certifications and open source work is even more valuable than that.

  • The Gentiles must be circumcised

    Nobody is saying anyone must be circumcised. But it is encouraged and usually forced upon children in christian churches through baptism. Your verse does not say what you think it does. See my reply above.

  • The bible says a lot of things that Christian churches do not teach. Quoting anything in the old testament you might as well just say that Christianity teaches that you shouldn't have long hair or ear piercings, which is clearly not true. That verse also does not say what you think it does. It says that you should watch out for people who say you "must" be circumcised to be saved. I've never heard anyone say that anywhere. That doesn't mean it's not encouraged in the church. That doesn't mean it's not taught. That doesn't mean it's not done as part of baptism (as it has been at literally every christian church I've seen). But yeah, of course no one is going around saying you won't be saved unless you do so. That doesn't make it "NOT a Christian thing".

  • Many other studies have said the opposite of what CR says, so not sure it's worth what it looks like. They're also considering non-dangerous recalls as a failure, for example the slow acceleration in eco mode on the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (which I considered a fantastic feature) would be a "problem" under the consumer reports methodology.

    Tesla was considered absolute bottom of the pack in a Which? report https://www.autonoid.com/which-ev-owners-survey-ranks-tesla-bottom-for-reliability/ and https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-least-reliable-ev-brand-uk-survey-2022-3, with 2/5ths of Teslas having major problems and 1 in 20 failing to start! How in the world did CR get the complete opposite data and actually recommend a car that could fail to start.

    Clearly there's something wrong with how all of these reliability surveys are occurring, if they're getting completely opposite data.

    tesla 3rd from bottom in reliability while Kia and Hyundai are at the top

    What is very clear from looking at all these surveys is that American brands are absolutely terrible for reliability. Every single one of the surveys ranks American cars far below European or Asian cars, with many incredibly dangerous recalls for things like failure to start, losing power while driving, airbags failing to deploy or deploying at the wrong time (like when a child is in the seat), loose subframe bolts, and tesla has had so many that it's not even worth sourcing them at this point. just go look up all the dangerous tesla recalls.

  • I would point out that the CR report does not agree with reports from other companies and other countries. Tesla is generally bottom of the barrel. But pointing out something I meant to comment upon the other day, the problems you see coming from these brands all seem to be tied to American automakers, not legacy automakers. In general Korean and Japanese brands have been fine, even German and Swedish brands. But all the american brands? GM? Rivian? Tesla? Ford? Jeep? They're all terrible. They also tried to point out that the HI5 has had battery issues. 1 recall for 1 issue affecting a very small subset of customers is not anything like massive recalls affecting entire fleets like we've seen with GM, Tesla, etc. I have a HI5 and while there are problems, that's normal for brand new vehicles, and they're nowhere near as bad as problems I've had with american made vehicles (including my f150), and about par with the problems we have with our other korean vehicle (a kia sorento).

  • You can still be called Indian, there's no reason they get a monopoly on the name... Just like people call people from USA "Americans" even though that literally applies to 35 countries, you can still call canadians "americans" or peruvians "americans". Context clues give people a lot of information, you don't need to always be explicit. You can also do exactly what I did above and specify "American Indian", which clearly gave you enough information to proceed to make the comment you did..

  • My wife works on reservations. I haven't heard of any of the tribes she works with being fine with being called Native American. They have their own government organization called the Bureau of Indian Affairs, it seems pretty clear that they prefer that term.

  • No I'm not. My wife works on reservations. American Indians prefer to be called Indians, not Native Americans.

  • ok, that I can understand, if they're only considering "tools" to be those on lgpl systems themselves.

  • There is bike registration. https://bikeindex.org

    It’s helped track down bike trafficking gangs sending bikes to Mexico. The police just don’t care at all

  • I have never heard anyone claim that GPL or LGPL are the most popular licenses for tools. From what I’ve seen it’s the opposite. MIT is by far the most popular by an insane margin. So much so that when I see an lgpl license I’m surprised.

  • I was just looking at this yesterday as I’m having trouble with really slow cold starts on a rust lambda in testing out.

  • That’s pretty much all American Indians. Their governmental orgs literally have Indian in their name. My wife does most of her work on a reservation and they all want to be called Indian, not Native American

  • Initially I thought he was tossing the sewing needle and it popped the balloon
