Well, also the fact that he looks literally nothing like the dude from the security camera stills, the police have been bungling every single step of the evidence process since before they "caught" Mangione, annnd finally all the work theyve done to preprejudice the public into thinking he did it by organizing documentaries demonizing Mangione while being too busy to provide the details of their "evidence" to Mangione's legal council (which they are legally obligated to do!)

It's a chicken and egg problem here. You're saying that prices never fall because people don't lower demand, but I would instead argue that Americans don't seem to understand that reduced demand lowers prices simply because we have literally never once seen that actually happen in practice due to corporate greed.

Rust isn't necessary. It can be mildly helpful, but it's also hurt in that it's community tends to make it actively unhelpful, just like in this case.

Linux development happened just fine for decades before rust, and while there are benefits to rust from a security point of view, if they can't maintain the code, they'll just go back to C and deal with process and policy for managing memory safety.

It's both. A bunch of idiots in here acting like it's better for people to have their lives ruined, or outright ended, rather than allow anyone to take a stance against that which might hurt their own precious feelings.

He's been wearing that kid like a hat ever since that CEO got shot. First time anyone had EVER seen the kid in public, too, and suddenly he hasn't been seen anywhere without him.

Because you shouldn't trust dodge Chrysler to plan a birthday party, let alone a damn car.

I know what he's talking about- there was some javascript spec or something that google proposed, and nobody else bought in, so it never actually became part of javascript's standard.

But google implemented it into chrome's javascript engine anyway, and then used it for youtube. There was some fallback code if the new functions weren't available, but, because of a 'mistake' they didn't work and basically made playback ass for a while until the open source community basically debugged and fixed the issue FOR google, and then spent a few weeks cramming it down google's throat that it needed fixed.

Iirc the guy that farmed the original sirracha peppers makes his own hot sauce now with them after the falling oot- tastes exactly like the old sirracha, just under a different name.

I feel like depth of field and motion blur have their place, yeah. I worked on a horror game one time, and we used a dynamic depth of field- anything you were looking at was in focus, but things nearer/farther than that were slightly blurred out, and when you moved where you were looking, it would take a moment (less than half a second) to 'refocus' if it was a different distance from the previous thing. Combined with light motion blur, it created a very subtle effect that ratcheted up anxiety when poking around. When combined with objects in the game being capable of casting non-euclidean shadows for things you aren't looking at, it created a very pervasive unsettling feeling.

At least here the actual papers and stuff pinned to them are covered by a locked hinged window made of plastic.

[–] ysjet@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (9 children)

My only problem with these are that the plastic on them is always somehow smudge/frosted enough that you cant read a thing.

They did and are refusing to answer. They're just a conservative that's larping as a Democrat for internet points.

 

5 Calls will give you your reps, their party (so you can avoid calling any republicans and getting yourself put on a potential retaliation list), multiple methods for contacting each rep (displayed in the order you should consider them), and then a script for what to say for any one of several dozen issues at hand.

Call your reps, and push them to do their jobs!
