I’m not sure why they don’t just open the source (are they planning on monetizing it?), but GitHub has a convenient issue tracker that everyone already has a user account for.

It’s totally fair to point the first domino being his. In fact, most of your comment seems to be arguing against a position I don’t hold. However, unlike a blender, Iran has agency. You cannot rewrite history because you don’t like the actors.

The first example was just the first that came to mind. The second was chosen in the opposite direction because that poster didn’t like the unintentional insinuation that the US was in the moral right; I chose something that has the opposite framing to show that it holds independently of who’s wrong.

I wasn't trying to talk about the morality of the US's actions (not that the police are inherently moral), only point how it seems purposefully misleading to remove the direct actor from the equation.

If you want, we can change the moral insinuations. "The bully hit himself in the face." No, the poor kid being teased hit the bully in the face.

And in fact, rhetorical tools like that make it easier for people who disagree with the authors stance to discard the author's argument on the whole. "This person either doesn't understand the situation well enough, or is willingly lying to me. Why would I listen to them."

If you want to read it as one would normally, where the X axis is the input variable, you could read it as "For a given quantity of demand, what is the maximum price the market can sustain?" So if you want to sell higher quantities of oil, the price has to decrease. The supply side is the opposite direction since costs go up as quantities go up (ignoring efficiencies of scale).

Since the graph is without units, the only relevant of their positions are the signs of the slopes, and that you need a higher price to supply oil at any given quantity (hence the Straight closed" line being higher on the graph).

> the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz

Am I the only one who finds this disingenuous? It's like saying: "the police's arrival to the bank robbery took someone hostage." The police's arrival may have triggered the hostage taker's actions but it was still their actions. It's like the author let their dislike of Trump get in the way of accuracy.

It's easy enough to argue that the war is a disaster without being misleading about who did what.

Did you click the link? Are you a bot? This is not about a physical scope, it's an online tool showing jaw/tooth anatomy.

I won’t buy Chevy since they removed CarPlay. I’m not paying $10/month for an ability my phone gives me for free (to say nothing of the other integrations CarPlay gives you).

I thought fuel cells were an energy storage system, not an energy generation system. Surely it’s cheaper to just connect the data center to the generation directly (either by upgrading the grid to handle it or building generators nearby).

How do you compare your experience with fearless_simd vs std::simd? Besides the nightly aspect of course.

Isn’t copyright duration like 70 years? How could it have left copyright (one of the editions were published in 2013)?

Care to elaborate? How is eclipse a disaster, and how does that pertain to pushing new ideas for an OS?

It might never beat out grep, but it could beat some more expensive to call tools, similar to how heuristics will often be faster than exact answers. Rust Analyzer can be slow at times, I could see an AI tool taking over a subset of its work.

Theres something ironic about the top comment being an AI summary of everything, so I don’t have think or synthesize a view for myself.
