Might be that we have more precise door builders than other parts of the world but from a German perspective that gap is huge and I don’t think I have ever seen one that tall on regular internal doors (as opposed to e.g. outdoor shed doors or similar places where insulation is taken less seriously).

What kind of tolerances do your doors have that cats can crawl under them?

Seems like the gaming version of this effect of not investing in enough disruptive innovation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpkoCZ4vBSI

The way I see it meddling by incompetent corporations in competent teams is bad, meddling by incompetent corporations in incompetent teams probably makes something even worse, meddling by competent corporations in incompetent teams probably doesn’t nearly have enough influence to make something actually good and only meddling by competent corporations in competent teams might actually have a chance of helping at all.

Most likely they also never thought about not buying something that is “just $40” in their life.

You mean “in the room a cat has access to”?

I have a feeling the Fallout show is quite similar in terms of not being popular outside of people who already like that particular universe.

To fight in WW2 you would have to be born in the early 1920 (to fight at the start of the war) or the mid 1920s at the latest, so I would say about 100-105 years old or roughly 2 1/2 generations of very late parents (having kids around 40) ago.

And yet the “blame everything on immigrants” strategy seems to work quite well here too.

I have had days like that as a programmer.

There were probably text based online games (MUX/MUSH/MUD/…) that had it even earlier.

I guess that is how they got Gaetz on board. They meant they wanted to send kids back into the mines and he thought they meant something even more disgusting.

Most importantly it takes a lot of effort and is essentially outdated the moment it is done unless you slow down and complicated every other process by funneling every change through the spec first.

Reminds me of the old hybrid animals subreddit.

We recently developed AI for that purpose though which does the same thing but is useless in occasionally funny ways.

Congratulations, now your trust relies on your subject never becoming important enough that someone bothers to run 50%+1 of the nodes in your network which means only very, very large subjects (or ones where trust wasn’t very important in the first place) ever even have a chance of that not happening. What do you say? Your technology doesn’t scale to very, very large subjects because of abysmal transaction rates?

Almost anyone who has argued for more efficiency in recent years just meant deregulation.

As a sysadmin Python is very far from a better language than Shell, it is much too fragile over time for that. You can’t even rely on a Python script running unmodified on the oldest currently supported OS versions and the latest ones.

After reading LWN Kernel articles for a while now I would much rather have the Rust please. The C code base of the Linux kernel seems a total mess despite Torvalds having the final say on what is merged and what is not.

There might also just not be a single spec because the information is spread out over RFCs instead of being collected in a central location.
