On the other hand if the number keeps going down it helps strengthen hope that it can go down to 0. When these things happen some apparatus gets left behind on how to do it a again for rogue actors inside the country too.

That’s the trust cost of nuclear power in Australia, not the just the hundreds of billions of dollars in the cost of constructing the reactors more than a decade away … but the danger that another decade of denial prevents the action on climate and investment in energy we need now,” he will say.

“Australia has every resource imaginable to succeed in this decisive decade: critical minerals, rare earths, skills and space and sunlight, the trade ties to our region.The only thing our nation does not have, is time to waste.”

I was onboard with the delay reasoning until he mentioned critical minerals, rare earth as the first 2 examples. That just makes me think he only cares about Industry and Businesses and not the pollution and ecological destruction.

Except we shouldn’t be giving corporations same rights as individuals. Doing so leads to corporate feudalism.

When it’s been advertised to the user as “full self driving”, is it?

I wouldn’t believe an advertisement.

Jokes on them, I am a grumpy bastard who hates emotionally expressive humans.

Supporting palestine is not supporting terrorists. Can you tell me how many palestinian civilian casualties are recorded till now in Gaza? Can you tell me what is the number or Israelis who died as a result of IDF invasion into Gaza?

Maybe when you say “Islamic Terrorist Supporters” I am hoping you are not considering all 30k+ dead civilians as Hamas? Remember… don’t lose your humanity in your dogmatic defence of Israel.

Now that the foundation is already there, they future work won’t be as complex as before and need less training.

LOL, LMAO even.

it was fun when we had this 1st year of college. Unfortunately I don’t yet have the space needed for it and buying a space is out of the question for me right now

Yeah I should try that. I guess my problem would be I start spending hours on a problem. Instead I should just learn to do stuff outside of the digital space for a while.

The horrors of compiling stuff take me back to my corporate job where I had to compile linux 2.x because a certain hardware vendor only had their driver tested on that.

Whatever you do, don’t start down the path of customizing a Linux distro.

Welp, I am already done with that one in my 20s. I guess I should have specified, I had at one point a running arch install that I used as a daily driver. My main session was xfce and I was tinkering with some openbox stuff. Long story short, an update bricked my arch install. Being a noob and also not having the power of nix back then, I basically lost all my configs and dotfiles.

Thankfully I never tinkered in Gentoo ever. I might try it out this year just as a bucket-list thing.

Nowadays, If I want to run arch I am running Endeavor OS.

(PS: I will try to one up you a more dangerous habit: Mechanical Keyboards. Thankfully my cheapskate-ass won’t let me fall into this trap as much as I want to buy one… did I tell you I already have 2 of those in the house?)

I am a monster lurker for stuff that hits close to home. So I guess it became too much so I just threw it out here.

I guess it makes sense. Not doing anything is good in and of itself. Boredom needs embracing. I still remember getting entertained in my childhood seeing some ants move around and react to dead insects and carrying leaves.

I am not concerned about not having anything to show for my free time. I am just not finding interest doing stuff which could indicate something worse.

fair point. Sometimes I feel satisfied not doing much

Why is it just devs?

Because, (and not sure about your upbringing, speaking for myself and possibly those who agree) we entered the field because of our dream to get paid for what is effectively hours of our favourite activity: tinkering with our home computer (that dad forbade us from touching as we often broke something) and building cool stuff. I still remember the day I used Turbo C compiler to compile the “Hello, World!” program and the feeling of seeing the result made me happy and excited. My immediate thought was “what else can I do with this!”.

I often tried implementing graphics in turbo C. The horrors of trying to find the cause of out of bound scribbling mess that my drawing code produced is quite nostalgic to this day.

I guess most of the current struggle is to just reproduce that joy that we got once.

Not really. For example, young ones probably think climate catastrophy will lead to massive upheaval our life and they want to guillotuine CEOs.

CEOs are self serving bastards who are not worth the clothes they wear.

Contrary to popular belief, electric power usage is not wasted if the PC is idle. PC draws more power when it is working at 100% vs. When it is idle.

It’s like people switch off kettles or ovens that are not running… but if a kettle/oven is not running then it is not pulling power.

his name is still Terry Davis. “His name was Terry Davis”

It’s still is, but that would be a bad joke on my end.
