I think the biggest problem Europe has (besides too weak military) is how slow this freaking bureaucratic apparatus is.

Something happens - countries start to discuss how to react, weigh pros and cons, discuss again, Hungary votes against - discuss again… oh it’s 2028 already.

I might get downvoted for that, but I think Europe should start working closer with China.

Two be fair many other countries have the same issue but it doesn’t have such horrendous consequences because they don’t have a two party system.

IMHO countries that claim to be democracies should switch to Lottocracy anyway. That’s the only way we end up with decision makers that don’t just do stuff to get voted again.

Ad for an ad-blocker. Genius 🤣

The car is bad because of it’s inherent design flaws and bad UX.

Robo Taxi, “not so full self driving” and similar things don’t make the car bad but show the practices Tesla uses to lure people into buying a car. By promising features they can’t deliver. Same with Tesla Semi, new Roadster, etc.

About hating Elon. Hate is a strong word but he is clearly a faschist moron. That doesn’t make cars technically bad but I’d like to hear some arguments how a moron being in charge helps the company make better cars.

And regarding science, there are some papers that show that cars with screens are way less safe because you have to look away to interact with it and that “glorified cruise control” too because you should pay attention because the car has too many flaws but in practice people stop paying attention.

The swasticar manufacturer has the most advanced tech car?

Their cars are a joke. Opening glove boxes through menus. Getting rid of almost all buttons to just install a giant monitor in the middle?

And don’t get me started about their full self driving robo taxis next year since ages ago. At no point in time (even before the rest of the world caught on that Elon is a complete moron) was buying a Tesla a good idea.

Though the phrase “prompt engineer” is so funny. Has literally nothing to do with engineering at all. Like having a PhD in “Google Search” 🤣

And now the UK left the EU, they have way less bargaining power.

the entire bottom half of humanity

So about 4 billion people

Feel free to use floppy disks. Btw if you are online, you use WebP and PNG all the time 🤣

Would completely defeat the purpose of making a new smaller file format if we prefix if with the old format.

Only in the US 🤣

A non sequitur seems reasonable to you?

Wouldn’t that imply that you know that there are no other intelligent life forms in the universe?

That’s intended. Look at the second hand for a minute. It goes 1, 2, 3, etc. like on a real clock but the numbers are distributed differently. That’s also why the hands sometimes have to move faster to reach their target in time. It goes (backwards) if it’s closer.

Because an image is a bit to lazy IMHO for “prgrammer” humor. I programmed a clock that actually works. Have fun 🤣

Btw: you can change the order of the clock-face if you want.

I don’t know the situation in the UK but some countries have separate drains depending on if it’s waste water or just a regular rain water drainage. Rain water drainages are often not treated in any way (because why, it’s rainwater anyway) but waste water is processed in treatment plants.

It still can panic/abort and deadlock/wait infinitely long on most fp languages because that’s typically implied. And there isn’t actually a way around that because computation almost always can fail or block indefinitely - and if you have a total language you can implement waits for billions of years, which for all practical purposes is “infinitely” long on human time scales.

I check for keys, wallet and phone every time I leave an apartment or building. I even do that in my dreams 😬
