Running that much power next to a data line sounds like a terrible idea for signal integrity, especially if something shorts to said data lines. It just sounds sketchy or filled with so many asterisks that it's functional impossible to reach their claimed throughput.

If you want to go full dystopian...
Party assigned at birth (PAAB) based on family, ethnicity, economic background, and other social factors present when the child is born. PAAB designation must be present on ID, birth certificate, and citizenship at all times. Any attempt to hide or misrepresent PAAB will be considered felony fraud pending investigations into any extremist relations contributing to the offense. PAAB may only be changed by government application via relocation and re-education facilities. Following the abolition of the US voting system, government representatives will be automatically chosen based on majority PAAB demographic.

Would be real nice if they added things like specular, normal maps, and a proper depth buffer for shaders. That way SonicEther shaders could run natively in vanilla for everyone (possibly even bedrock?).

It really isn't. At best it can generate short snippet solutions but it absolutely botches projects that require contextual knowledge of the program stack.
My job actively avoids because of the havoc it tends to cause not to mention legal issues.

It sucks but it is what it is. Being an island nation dependant on imports, we don't have much weight to throw around without self destructing with our already fucked cost of living crisis.

How else are they going to milk their talentless techbro cash cows? Can't have China popping that imaginary wealth bubble now can we. /s

I'd like to think Australia has a nice middle ground design to their sockets/plugs without the foot destroying bulk. Still get the shutter variants for bathrooms too.

Jist wait until you have to start fucking around with multiple incompatible versions of python for different targets.

A road near me added obnoxious speed bumps in an industrial zone that was already reduced to 50km/h solely for the gambling seniors to get to the RSL (Returned Services League, a glorified casino for seniors/veterans), again built in an INDUSTRIAL ZONE with frequent semi-trucks.

It exists to abuse and profit off search engine optimisation. More than half of most image search results are polluted with their results which forces you sign up to do anything useful with them.

I wish I was kidding when I say there exist asshole recognition tech already. They'll just attach that to your advertiser ID so their worldwide network of 'smart toilets' can deliver targeted ads to every stall and urinal you visit.
New Planet: Day 1

That may be so, but then you things like hayfever where the immune system overreacts to the dumbest shit every year for days on end. I could totally see some innocent extraterrestrial microbe sending the immune system into a self destructive meltdown, or straight up anaphylaxis.

For devs who routinely boast about their (ineffective) anti-cheat, this is truly some amateur hour code. No wonder cheaters run rampant in their games.

As much as I agree the 30% cut can be a bit steep, I do appreciate that part of it is going into ongoing R&D like Steam Deck and Proton benefiting the whole gaming industry. I'd like to think of it like Valve are investing into PC innovation similarly to the way Playstation, Xbox and Nintendo do for their new consoles.

The problem isn't so much blocking the ads on a page, that's a solved problem, it's doing so without incurring side effects. The main problem usually comes in two ways.
- Ads are now being pre-baked into the content delivery itself in which there is no easy way to rip it out without destroying the content in some way. Twitch is notorious for this on streams where the ad portion completely replaces the video feed before your browser ever sees what was originally there. You may never recover what was there, but if you try to block the ad playing you trigger problem 2.
- There are departments dedicated to developing ever changing anti-adblock scripts and detectors that enforce ad placements and detect tampering. In some cases this results in punishing the user by refusing to deliver content until the ads load, blocking or kicking the user off the page, throttling connections or access, or in Twitch's egregious case, more invasive ad interruptions. This has become a never ending arms race with ad blockers to keep up with minefield of invasive scrips monitoring what you do with their website.
TLDR: Ad blockers like UBlock Origin are already filtering how you're asking for bur advertisers are attacking the plugins themselves and have their own arms race of scripts to punish those who interfere.

a nation so hardworking...
Or hardly working given how backwards and out of date the work culture is, but sure let's make this out to be the fault of employees who are likely overworking due to low pay. An extra day off isn't going to fix the systemic cultural issues, class discrimination, xenophobia... the list could go on and on.
Calling this innovative when Japan has yet to modernize its business practices, or admitting it's an issue, is disingenuous at best.

This naively assumes there aren't malicious or extremists instances hell bent on brigading others in the fediverse. Without defederation, they can keep spinning up accounts to bypass individual bans until mods are overwhelmed.
Every instance retains their respective right to block who they deem a risk whether that's an individual or instance. As an individual, you are more than welcome to create a separate account on another instances if you disagree with your current instance rules or bans, as is the nature of the fediverse.

Sums up every Node project I've had the displeasure of looking at. The lock file being the only thing holding the twisted web of versions keeping that franken-app running between a minefield of incompatibilities and buggy hacks.

My point exactly. If FreeCAD refines that framework and documents it well, community plugin support could drive many new features and quality of life improvements into the main branch.

I'm really hoping FreeCAD gets the Blender treatment. ONDSEL is already pushing it pretty far, but once extensibility is more robust and the new user experience improved, I believe that'll be the tipping point.
