  • As this is a new project, have you considered hosting your code somewhere other than GitHub? Codeberg and GitLab are similarly user-friendly platforms without the many downsides of supporting Microsoft.

  • Given that there's no one driving the car, there little disincentive to smash a tail light or window of one of these things pull in front of you.

    You can also disable them nonviolently.

  • A platform that's down 10% of the time and that now has a reputation of locking people out of their accounts without reason for weeks at a time cannot, under any definition of the word, be considered "stable".

    I just.... don't get it. This whole community, we're supposed to be building stuff for ourselves and each other, and for some reason people keep going to bat for a company that demonstrably holds every one of us in contempt.

    Just.... stop using their shitty tools already.

  • School food standards pilot in England cuts meal uptake by 15%

  • This has got to be the dumbest take on this sorry one could possibly have. Shame on the Guardian for publishing it so uncritically.

    There are zero downsides to the public for a healthy school lunch mandate. Pointing out that some kids would rather eat garbage for lunch does not mean that the government should pay for that.

    If the government is paying to feed kids, then it should be paying for healthy food. If some parents would rather feed their kids deep fried crap well... you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.

    I'd wager that the "concern" these companies (why do we have private companies in charge of feeding school kids again?) is really based on the fact that these meals are more expensive and so it cuts into their margin.

  • Why are homes left empty in the UK and how can we fill them up?

    Jump

  • Those are reasons why it's not being addressed effectively, not why the problem exists in the first place.

    • Are these homes bought for investment that can't sell for the amounts the owners want?
    • Were they inherited and being held unsold due to being tied up legally?
    • Are they unsuitable for human habitation, either because of neglect or changing regulation?
    • Are they simply temporarily empty due to "housing purchase chain" problems?
    • Is the market undervalued?
    • Has some rich supervillain bought up a few million homes just because he hates poor people that much?

    The article proposes a question and then fails to answer it.

  • An article titled "why are homes left empty..." doesn't answer the question.

    Tucker Carlson slams UK's Palestine Action ban, calls Keir Starmer 'enslaved'

  • While he's right in this case, calling him a "prominent American journalist" is as inaccurate as his usual "reporting".

  • While more resuable than concrete, the process is very energy intensive and requires bitumen every time. It also doesn't last very long.

  • Not being a solution "everywhere" doesn't negate its value, but having lived in the Netherlands and visited Copenhagen myself, I can tell you that paving bricks are applied well in both places and that they hold up just fine against frozen weather.

  • I wanna talk about replicators

    Jump

  • I imagine it'd be a case of: "scan this food that I just made by hand, store its structure, and replicate that exactly later".

    So the replicator could make Grandma's soup for you, but it would always be exactly how Grandma made it that one time.

  • I wanna talk about replicators

    Jump

  • Yeah I've always been frustrated with this trope. Somehow, we're expected to believe that a technology capable to creating and assembling all the atoms in a chocolate sundae is incapable of modifying the recipe.

    In my head cannon I've always understood this to mean that the replicated food is "too perfect" and lacks the human imperfection/variation you get with real cooking.
