Bravo. Welcome to the world of greater control and flexibility.

I suspect he and Sinema are the tip of the iceberg. There's a few other corporate ball coddlers in there that were happy to have Manchin and Sinema the the heat that they otherwise might have to take.

I actually thought it was an interesting take on an old parable. The frog might actually be another scorpion though. And the woodland creatures secretly support both scorpions to ensure that neither one stings them.

I've seen some interesting thoughts on TDD with fail, pass, refactor assumptions. I'm curious if anyone here is writing functional code in order to then make a failing functional test pass i.e. BDD / ATDD. This follows similar logic without the refactor assumption. I've seen strong opinions on every side as far as this is concerned. On a team with Dev and QA competencies, I've heard a number of devs glad to get QA out of the bottleneck and put their knowledge to better use.

Those same people who point to mental health are the ones denying any kind of public funding to address such issues (aka voting "no" on proposed legislation). There might be similar rates of mental health challenges in other countries - but we can also acknowledge that the US lags far behind in offering any kind of supportive system for those in need.

I'm surprised it's not just one color called "Opioids"

The "best people" are the ones that commit crimes and then fall on their sword for you. They're even bester when they don't complain about you when you refuse to pay for their legal defense.

I guess that might be right. As of today, the iPad Pro is basically a laptop when attached to the magic keyboard. It only has a single thunderbolt port but can connect to an external display with caveats. Apple scuppers the experience by forcing you to have the iPad display open when connected to the monitor. I'm essentially looking for an experience like Samsung Dex where I get a desktop experience when docked - but a portable experience when on the go. I'm sure they could easily do this but choose not to in order too avoid eating into MacBook sales.

An iPad pro that has multiple thunderbolt ports and connect to a 4/5k monitor in clamshell mode. I dare you, Apple.

Point taken. Either police negligence or outright manufactured outrage. The police are either daft or corrupt in those respective scenarios. In both cases, wasting tax dollars to "investigate" and NPR looking pretty incompetent themselves in their reporting.

I'm having a decent experience with progressive web apps. Even posting now with a PWA for Lemmy. It's given me a bit more control over the bloat and background processes that might be there unwitting to me. Or requiring me to investigate . I don't enable background notifications or anything like that however. I also direct my DNS traffic thru PiHole but that's another conversation.

Well I don't have a dog in the AI fight. I did sufficiently couch my comments as a thought experiment. I could have postulated the opposite scenario I suppose. Or none at all. I do see that there are some strong and confident predictions as to the outcomes.
