No, that was for Archie Bunker. Sorry for the ambiguity.

This will enrage the normal Slashdot viewer. How dare you say one bad thing about EV's or being green?!?

There is very little chance it'd taste the same due to exactly the reasons you cite. There is also the chance that because it's not subject to the same conditions, stress, hormones, and biology as regular meat, that it may contain something harmful or cause cancer. There is no proof that it does or does not, but there also isn't much in the way of data or long term studies. It's like artificial sweeteners that were good for you, until they found out they weren't!

Fedora has brought a lot of dogshit into Linux. They always push the worst tripe they can lay hands on. If it's not short stroking Pottering's M$ inspired shitware like PulseAudio or Systemd, then it's other garbage like Flatpack, SELinux, Network Manager, Avahi, Polkit, firewalld, Wayland, more bugware from Ted Tso like BTRFS, telemetry for IBM, and lately "AI" whatever the fuck that means. Plus there

No. The kernel panic output does NOT need a colorful candy shell to make Windows Admins feel more comfortable. What really needs to happen is just let Fedora continue festering into whatever diseased pus-filled boil they are finally going to erupt into. Explore better options like FreeBSD or other BSD variants, Devuan, or other Unix variants besides Fedora / RHEL.

Correct. That or the particular bit of code exceeds the context size of the LLM, etc.. My company uses LLMs, too. We have Claude Code and NeoVIM + Claude Code. We also tried VS Copilot with a ChatGPT back end. Most of our code is C or C++. We also have some various ASM code for about three ISAs / platforms.

Coding with LLMs is real. Writing enterprise applications with them isn't. They lose track of previous instructions, repeat the same logic errors, and introduce bugs that take longer to fix than the initial vibe-coding session saved you in typing code. The hype is very much over-promising and under-delivering at this point.

Also, I tried out the new Claude C Compiler (CCC). It does compile (it's written in Rust and uses Cargo for buildstrapping). It even compiles on both Linux and NetBSD. However, it won't compile fuck-all that actually runs. All the ELF binaries it generates are corrupt. If you complain about this they say "Well, that's a known bug. You gotta use the GNU assembler and linker. Rebuild ccc with these gutted options." Well, YEAH, of course if you don't have to write a working assembler and linker you have a glorified 30k-files worth of a syntax parser that doesn't do any really impressive work. Also, remember that they had 16 "agents" working for two weeks and using $20,000 of compute/LLM time. Gotta say: NOT impressed yet.

Hurt feelings? Hehe, no. Instead, I am asserting your attitude and ideology are flawed and foolish without any real strong feelings about it. You simply aren't that important.

Sounds like "you're either for us or against us" kind of tripe. If someone wants to defend their thesis from being associated with cranks and partisans via rational and well-reasoned debate, personally, I'm more likely to listen to some independent thinking.

I already know what Communists and Fascists believe (and no, there isn't much difference there, either).

We all know what the extremists want: blood in the streets and death to the opposition. Yeah, no thanks, I'm gonna go ahead and still support independent thinking, individual rights, and a complete rejection of (Left or Right) collectivist values.

Yeah, because extremists have so many good deeds in their column, eh? You sound just like the kind of useful idiot authoritarians have used since time immemorial. "If you don't act with mindless submission and violence to The Party, those other extremists will win!"

You need to re-read (or in your case, read for the first time) 1984, Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, and Brave New World, because you're rooting so much for the Bad Guys [tm] that you're in danger of becoming one yourself.

I'll bet you "flatly refuse" to believe life isn't black and white with only enemies and allies. You are the very definition of a partisan, impenetrable by logic or wisdom.

Meanwhile there isn't a hill of beans difference between the "sides". They both want illegal immigrants, they both want the wars, they both want the state to grow endless debts, they both bail out big banks, they both subsidize corporations, they both erode civil liberties, they both ignore infrastructure decay, they both protect monopolies. Their action clearly demonstrate all those facts despite what they say.

You want to play team-sports, I get it, that's what you're comfortable with. Trouble is, just because you like your politics nice and partisan, doesn't mean they aren't both fucking you every chance they get. What it does mean is that you'll be ineffective at diagnosing even the most basic situations when your "team" fills your head up with unchallenged propaganda. You'll just be sitting there being angry when your favorite pundit tells you to be angry, then cheering when they prompt you like the useful-idiot laugh track you really are until you can think for yourself, which will probably never happen.

That's ALL the countries in the EU. So, yeah, that's believable.

Everyone born in the US gets a birth certificate and we are a Federalized system with strong state's rights. So, each state issues both ID's and/or drivers licenses to all adults. Anyone with a birth certificate can get one. Anyone who lost their birth certificate can get one via legal processes in the county of their birth. It's all very straightforward. According to the conservative Heritage Foundation there isn't a significant number of people without identification as some claim. The liberal Brennan Center report says around 9% of folks don't have "ready access" to their ID (ie.. they are too lazy to get their IDs updated or they store them in a secure location where they don't have good access) but only about 2% do not have any documentation at all. Also, the Brennan center is a liberal organization. More fair analysis by MIT shows 0.2–0.6% of voters lacked photo ID when voting.

Nobody said we couldn't change procedures for voting in an orderly and organized way. How is any of that paragraph germane? You seem to be saying "In the EU it's cool that we require ID, but it's not cool in the USA because you guys are disorganized." For one, I'd assert that you don't know what you are talking about (as evidenced by your earlier rant about how everyone has an ID in the EU, as if we don't use IDs in the USA). Secondly, this is some kind of hand-waving concern about how important it is to "communicate" about the changes after they happen. As if hordes of folks would be caught unprepared to show their ID's when they go vote in person.

Seems to me that because you have no good arguments against requiring an ID to vote and your own country requires it you're now reduced to a delaying tactic (ie.. you don't want US voters to show ID but you cannot justify saying that) based on "communication" concerns. In other words, I'm straight up calling you a hypocrite and a deceptive asshole.

Many states have completely different voting policies (especially around mail-in ballots). Folks have to adapt to the system/regime they are under. It takes some paying attention, yes, but it's already a fairly complex landscape.

The Republicans are duplicitous on this issue. They want their base to think they are enforcing immigration (hence the "CRACKDOWN!" optics with questionable results). However, they have large constituencies (rich folks who represent "capital") who want cheap labor. So, as with many issues, neither group of partisans want real immigration reform.

Of course, to you, it's just one more reason why "the other guys are wrong!" In reality, there is little differenc. I just wonder why otherwise smart people spend so much time falling right into divide-and-conquer strategies employed by the Uniparty.

Most are so far left as to be appropriately called Communist.

Communism is dumb, so it fights using censorship.

Just as importantly, but not as popular to ask: would the local people in the target relocation country be better off in general? The current answer is "Well, the normal people get fucked, but the elites get an underclass to enslave and do as they wish with while simultaneously feeling morally superior for relocating those poor poor brown folks."

I'd rather have them working there focused on the Indian market than gaming the H1B system and beating down the door here in the US. Their rape-culture sucks a bit more than our rape culture. So, I'd prefer they keep their brown asses in India and stay out of the USA. We have our own culture and it requires cultural integration and cooperation by foreign immigrants: something many Indians refuse to do. Indian managers hire Indians. Anyone who says that's not a thing hasn't worked in IT in the US at any scale. Indians and US corporations have abused our immigration system to such a degree that we need a 20 year moratorium on any Indian immigration. We could also use the immediate revocation of all pending H1B applications and a sharp drawdown on renewals, too.

In short, good riddance. Stay over there.

Unhappy clients switch ISPs. They cost the company money. That motivates management to take their salary requirements a bit more seriously. It's a bit like this: who can charge you more the lawn guy or your doctor? Why? It's all about perceived value. So, bring on the backbone cut. It might clarify the value of the folks they "cannot find" so much that they actually raise the advertised salary for folks they want to hire.

You thought you had a choice? You never did. This whole voting scheme has two big flaws. First is that you can only effectively vote for candidates some power-brokers chose for you. Second, is that your vote is super diluted and the people you are voting with are just other poorly informed partisans who refuse critical thinking.

Ask the guys working at Point Barrow, AK or an offshore rig why they left their families and came to one of the harshest places on Earth to work. It wasn't for the food, the "status", or the ease of the job. It's not two factors, it's one: the pay. Full stop.

Why should he? You certainly didn't. Partisan mud slinging rarely does more than simply harden folks into their respective corners, but you went there post-haste and then critiqued against it. Perhaps "unmitigated hypocritical lack of self-awareness" is a problem you should solve internally before more partisan jabs, eh?
