It doesn’t follow instructions, insists on being “conversational” despite being told not to be.

This is true. But at jj ci you’re plonked into an editor and can change the description.

jujutsu is a fresh take on git-- you describe the work you’re about to do with jj new -m 'message'. Do the work. Anything not previously ignored in .gitignore is ready to commit with jj ci. You don’t have to git add anything. No futzing with stashes to switch or refocus work. Need that file back? jj restore FILENAME.

The majority of comedy works because there is truth in it. Sure, Idiocracy is prophetic, or we wouldn’t be discussing it today. Nobody discusses South Park’s “Bigger Longer Uncut” like Idiocracy because it doesn’t really engage this kind of truth.

What I cannot tell is if people have always been this moronic and we’re only more aware of it because of ubiquitous cell phone camera technology and the Internet’s capability to rapidly distribute awareness of dumbness that would have otherwise stayed regionally isolated.

“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”—George Carlin

It’s more “tragedy of the commons” eugenics than “evil corporate-governmental-white supremacy” eugenics.

I thought the movie was more nuanced than that—the “smart parents” of Idiocracy did not have smart children—they had zero children. The smart couple in fact were the ones doing “self-eugenics” to their own detriment.

Eugenics or not, evolution favors the population that produces the fittest offspring for the environment–not the smartest.

I know people who actively fight me on ISO 8601. They don’t like the way it sorts their files/folders, reliant on whatever behavior the operating system does. Whenever data recovery happens or their files are moved, all the change times are blown out the window and the sorting they expect is blown away.

I’m not yet using a 24-hour clock. But it has me thinking. That’s not such a bad transition for 24-hour local time into UTC. Or just using both. At some point the inconvenience of the local will become vestigial and UTC is what remains.

What if the only enabling factor to getting to Kardashev Type I is adoption of UTC for everything?

Yep, we’re doomed by the Great Filter.

I keep the keys in the hand that closes the door they lock. No keys, no close.

Add: Get the room as cool as possible. Feet and hands are great radiators.

How about two batteries that can be ejected and swapped without powering off the device? We don’t need to wait for super-capacitors today.

iPhones… someday. :)

(making a note for myself.)

IBM’s management hierarchy is deeper than the Nine Circles in Dante’s Inferno, plus you get to use JIRA.

At least it wasn’t “Hey, pull up that YouTube on the procedure, I need a refresher.”

While being blurry the background has lots of ships and detail that look “off.” The slant of the building was putting me off until I saw that this picture was coming from the UAE which has some wild architecture.

The page you linked from Highland definitely seals the deal that the Kronos is a real device.

Looks AI generated. Just the kind of thing that would make the opposition paranoid and expend ammo into the sea.

This could also be made more “local” with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed-air_energy_storage or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_energy_storage and not reliant on the difference of elevations.

The pandemic whipsawed its de-facto function the other direction: before the pandemic, public education grew to become more of a form of subsidized childcare with added politics of mandatory curricula and mandatory testing. During the pandemic, the system forced already strained parents previously reliant on subsidized childcare to become teachers and were required to be on-camera attendants for their children to complete timed assessments to “prove there was learning and not cheating”, which was even more problematic when you had more than one child-- because then you had to teach and assess N-child-different things during the day where previously each child was cohorted in grades with N-concurrent teachers.

The current system treats everyone like children because it never had the plot for effective education, “compulsory education” was for the poor and it was oriented to inculcating values for adherents of religion, loyal subjects of monarchy, soldiers for state, and drones for industry. If your family had money, your education was not from the compulsory design.
