Uh huh, you "hired trump" Anna he's doing what you told him to do.

Did you hire him to lower prices? Said he would and hasn't.

Did you hire him to "close the border"? Are you really stupid enough to think he has? I mean yes you still believe things a pathological liar tells you so you are clearly a complete idiot. But humour me, I would like you to rationalise away the net migration statistics:

https://data.worldbank.org/ind...

In the real world, not fantasy trump land, net migration cratered in 2020, due to COVID. It first sharply again in 2021 and 2022, but under Biden didn't return to the same level and started to decrease YOY. Anna in trump's first year in it dropped by the same amount as Biden's last year.

So Trump has been no more effective than Biden, but yet you love trump for things he hasn't done. Anyway please rationalize that away including excuses about how it's everyone else who's the really racists really because if you shout that hard enough you might just believe it. We won't though.

Why are you lying about what people's positions are?

The cognitive dissonance is much easier to handle if you simply lie about opposing positions to the point where they're easily dismissed. Somehow it's easier to allow yourself that outright lie than to think a reasonable position is unreasonable.

He doesn't need one: you don't support Trump and the Republicans because of facts or reasoning. Any lie is OK as long as it feels right.

I find it baffling that farmers, a not on the whole a famously rich group, have decided that the parties of the monied classes and business owners are the right fit for them. They also voted for Brexit over here and appear to have been genuinely shocked that the massive EU subsidies went away, they're somewhat cut off from the huge market next door and the new promised trade deals struck to stop us running out of food do not massively favour them.

Oh also fishermen. Those fucking morons have whinged and bitched and moaned forever about the EU for preventing them from causing a fishery collapse. Then they all got massively surprised when the EU wouldn't let them take as many fish as they wanted from EU state waters.

Many people will vote against their own interests because they, frankly, can't think things through. If something right in front of them is annoying them right now, it's bad and must go. Bonus points if a known grifter who stands to benefit promises them sunny uplands if it goes...

Why are you always trying to "bothsides"

Notice how it's never "bothsides so I voted Harris". The "bothsides" people know they dis something reprehensible that need excusing, and that's why they're trying all the time to excuse what they did.

The people who still back Trump are willing to put up with his antics because he does the substantive things we actually care about.

Yes you elected the president of peace because you were fed up with all the wars being started and

by taking the fight to Iran.

Oh right, never mind, you love war now.

and is cleaning up entitlement corruption

Somehow in Trumpland, the president massively enriching himself and his family isn't corruption.

his predecessor who gave 100B+ to a corrupt Ukrainian regime,

Ignoring your made up bit about corruption (see above: either you're lying about there being corruption or lying about thinking it's a bad thing), that's called "keeping your word". Remember the Budapest memorandum?

President Autopen,

Trump has admitted to using the autopen, numbnuts. Just admit it's not about any of the things you say, you love Trump and that's it.

and told doctors to mutilate childrens genitals.

Oh right you're one of those people obsessed with children' genitals (you sick fuck). No wonder you don't ant Trump to release the Epstein files!

Ah my sig-stalker is alive and well! Hello good sir, how are you I have not seen you in a while! I am still curious as to who I'm supposedly thinking about, other than a name that doesn't sound wildly uncommon.

There are a few idiots here who still seem to like trump. I note that they all stay away from stories about him doing the more randomly stupid things, because those they can't defend whereas everything else can be blamed on Obama, burden or Hillary or some sort of 1D connect 4 or whatever game they think he's playing.

I'm other words they do actually know, but they just hope the right people will get hurt anyway.

Based on what? What makes something wrong or right in production providing the toolkit works and exists to allow it to be widely adopted and mass produced, and the end goal of the device is achieved?

Exactly. About the only thing that matters for "in production" is "meets requirements", whatever those may be. It's pretty rare that one of those is "squeeze the maximum possible performance out of a single-cycle multi-hundred MHz MCU". Sure for mass, low cost consumer products, it's worth pending a lot to save 10 cents on the MCU but it isn't for most of us.

I've seen similar complaints before: "Arduino has no place in production,

I've seen that too. I now point them to Finder PLC. It' an industrial unit that is basically an arduino with relays etc in a nice box.

Dude.

Back in the 80s I was running basic on a machine with a tenth of the RAM and less than a thousandth of the computing power. It did not "confound the learning process". These days I also often use the Arduino environment because the performance is adequate for me needs and so it's a waste of time to slog through the datasheet and do it all by hand.

Who cares if they are a bit different from python? I don't write C++ on an MCU in the same way I'm writing it on the server because I'm writing very different things.

This really sounds like nerd snobbery to me. Modern microcontrollers are so ludicrously powerful now many people dipping into them won't need to scratch the surface of the performance on offer. And that's ok.

However, it's because I believe many great consumer technology leaps were driven by porn: photography, home video, the internet, the smart phone, etc.

The smartphone??

I mean it was convincingly invented, if not widely used by IBM in 1993. It was made to look very impressive (albeit wired) in the late 90s by Olivetti. And of course PDAs approaching from the other end being more computer and less data. J2ME phones came out which were a pile of shit. Maybe you could get a shit game on them. I don't really know if Blackberries count: they were messaging first but did they have any generality beyond that? There was of course the legendary N900, and some impressive (for the time) yet deeply wonky Symbian devices.Then in 2007, Apple came out with a rather good dumbphone which was turned into a smartphone by Cydia, which Apple then got in on the game a year later (which is a bit weird if you think about it).

None of those were porn. It was all about connectivity and messaging and nerdy shit especially businessnerd shit (except the N900 which was real nerd shit). Then fashion, then just plain old usefulness.

I mean that's not to say people don't watch porn on a phone on a plane (shit head in 23A knows what I'm talking about you utter wanker, but not in that case literally thank god), but I don't there's a convincing case that porn had a significant role. Pocket computers were obviously useful, even more so with a data connection, and people had been trying to get them working for years before it finally took off.

Is this true for animated films too?

Yes.

What about hybrid live action and animated?

Yes.

Animated films that are CGI based rather than hand drawn/painted?

Yes.

Hand drawn that are computer "painted"?

Yes.

In the hard sciences, one usually is happy about advancements, not about keeping it secret until one publishes oneself.

Haha, no.

If you don't publish papers, you don't get a job and so you won't be doing hard science anymore due to an imperative to eat and find shelter. So no, no one is happy if someone takes their mostly complete results and scoops them to publication. It's also why that's widely regarded as what's technically known as a "dick move".

A t shirt?

Maybe a jumper. Maybe when a light jacket at the lower end. But a thick jacket at 12 degrees? Nope!

Wait what?

The nighttime lows in SF were 12C. That's think jacket weather???

I think Americans now spend so much time in climate controlled buildings that they've forgotten what weather is like.
