Seems to me that she understands that poor folks need food.

with someone who spends more money on the poor than on advertising?

Interesting way to phrase vote buying.

She could start at a local level and work her way up. Jumping to the top with no experience is how you get an ineffective politician who’s incapable.

Because becoming firmly entrenched in the traditional ways of the Democratic party, and running a traditional campaign, and waiting until there’s an incumbent to challenge before trying to get elected, and not actually helping poor folks with anything other than promises is the best way of winning and actually helping ordinary Americans?!

You claim to be left of most Americans but it doesn’t half make you butthurt that someone standing for elections helps poor people for real.

If the incumbent is retiring, is it so bad to replace the “uncorrupt representative” with someone who spends more money on the poor than on advertising?

Your objections seem really really weak. Loving nearby rather than inside, being kind to poor people instead of running ads, starting “too early”, using social media effectively to gain popularity, a bunch of apparently different redditors (that you claim are all secretly her) liking her work.

Were you or one of your friends hoping to stand or something? You seem to be accusing her of being suspicious because she’s doing things you think are unfairly popular.

So you say, yet here you are, up and down the thread talking shit about someone who seems to be genuinely trying to help.

I’m always suspicious when people like you are up and down a thread talking shit about someone who seems to be genuinely trying to help.

I don’t get it?

I always thought that NaN is required by IEEE rules to never equal any other number, including itself, because you can make NaN in different ways and this shouldn’t result in equality or something, so C is wild but not javascript’s fault.

The other three being true is definitely javascript’s insane fault, though.

Only by batshit insane system wreckers. Normal systems don’t do this at all.

I have lemmy set to show me a thumbnail and only expand when I tap, so I saw the message before I saw the bunnies.

Conservatism is, as always, a complete failure of empathy, a lack of ability to recognise that if you don’t care about other people and you choose to put people who also don’t care about other people in charge, the people in charge simply and absolutely don’t care about you or your friends or your family.

Conservatives don’t understand that “them” and “us” are actually all just us.

Easy target from his perspective. Would draw Nato resources away from Ukraine, so his boss would be pleased.

When Trump does something incomprehensibly useless from an American perspective, always ask “What’s in it for Putin?” and you may find you get answers.

I normally get a low-mileage single previous owner second hand car that’s a few years old so I’m not paying thousands just for a fresh car smell, and run it until it starts getting annoying and expensive, when I trade it in for a newer model.

However the vast majority of those problems are not related to the ICE

That is the complete opposite of my experience. In my experience the most frequent and expensive problems are related to the engine in an ICE car. Here are some problems I’ve had, and I don’t think they’re super rare, just a regular car showing its age:

• clutch seizing up (no gears in an EV),
• wheezy starter motor not starting the engine (no starter motor or engine in an EV),
• stalling way too often (after years of trouble-free hill starts) (EVs don’t stall)
• alternator failing (no alternator in an EV)
• coolant boiling (no coolant in an EV)
• fan belt screeching (no fan belt in an EV, but admittedly that one was a long long time ago)
• squeaky brakes (only use the physical brakes in emergency braking in an EV)

Other problems I’ve had that could happen to any car:

• blown lightbulbs
• blown fuses
• tracking is off
• tyres wearing out
• proximity sensor failure
• aircon failure

Even the bottom two, which weren’t cheap, were still not as expensive or as complicated as the ICE shit I’ve tolerated over the years. My services cost me significantly less and there’s rarely any work to do.

A EV or ICE makes no difference to the body or suspension system.

I’ve literally never got rid of a car because of body or suspension problem - the engine has cost me too much stress, money and time, way, way, way before the body is shot or the suspension is failing. My uncle got rid of a car because of a bodywork issue, but he had had so much work done on it and had so many failed MOTs I don’t know why he didn’t trade up years earlier.

I must have been buying the wrong brands for the last few decades, because that is NOT my experience. My experience is that ICE cars get REALLY unreliable beyond the ten year mark. Expensive unreliable. To many trips to the garage unreliable.

I haven’t owned my non-Tesla EV for that long, but I’ve had more fun and pleasure driving that car in the last three years than I had driving petrol and diesel cars for the last thirty years.

Bullies don’t attack people they’re scared of.

I hesitate to ask, but how was he trying to stimulate himself that he ended up pissing all over himself?

Great quote on sexual attention: “it’s like one person dying of dehydration watching another person drowning”

You said this a lot, but you seem more like you took offence than like you’re moving on.

It comes across as you dismissing people’s points because they didn’t debate by the rules you invented for them to speak.

It’s not a computer science word, it’s an IT word, and I’m afraid you’re going to have to live with people being a bit imprecise with it.

Why not link to the article coining the term? It’s well written and explains well.

Satya Nadella has given an evasive answer there and both Zuckerberg and the journalists have been taken in.

It is common in programming languages that have a lot of boilerplate to use code generation, where you take some information about data and generate code automatically, like code that translates data between formats (for example reading and writing xml for saving to disk or json to send over the network). Being very routine to write and easy to deduce logically from other information, this process has been automated for years and years, long before AI existed.

Microsoft’s flagship software such as operating systems, office software, is unbelievably vast and complex, far beyond the complexity of most business software, and has been developed over decades. They absolutely have not replaced 30% of their code since the very recent advent of useful AI. I can believe that 30% of it is automatically generated, but not by AI.

The dashes make it far easier for regular humans.

Oh, I thought you were going to stick them on tesla wankpanzers.
