Comment Lifespan of cars in the future (Score 3, Insightful) 24

This type of supply chain breakage is why I think we have already passed peak automobile lifetime (cars built 1990-2010): in the future when critical parts fail there won't be any spares, and unless one is willing to take on 10s of thousands of dollars of firmware modding no workarounds either. I would not expect cars sold after 2010 to have lifetimes of more than 10 years or so.

We use NASM for all of our x86_64 platforms, and clang for arm64. We even cross-compile Windows on Arm using clang-cl on Linux. Some team members would like to use clang for everything and eliminate VS Studio, gcc and perhaps even Apple clang, but that would also mean updating a bunch of old assembly.

Whatâ(TM)s the appeal of MASM? Why would somebody want that to be cross-platform given the existing alternatives?

Also illegal in the UK. While they can relocate offices, they'd have to go through an employee consultation process and they certainly would be making redundancy payments. It's also typical to have 1-3 month notice periods in employment contracts. The way TFA is phrased sounds like constructive dismissal.

Anti-Semitism has been weaponized to destroy people like Jeremy Corbyn

Bullshit. That's a conspiracy theory by anti-semites. The EHRC found the Labour Party to be anti-semitic. Corbyn did nothing but let it fester, even as his Jewish MPs left the party either because he was too weak, or more likely, because he's also anti-semitic himself.

You're cut from the same cloth, as you've repeatedly demonstrated in your words on this site. I won't be distracted by your whataboutisms, which is the only thing you have to defend yourself from the truth.

We know where you stand in terms of anti-semitism. Remember this thread where you ducked and dived and tried to avoid admitting that you supported bigoted politicians like Jeremy Corbyn: https://news.slashdot.org/comm...

Why won't you people apportion any blame to the Gaza situation on Iran and terrorist organisations like Hamas? Admit it: you're just an anti-Jew, anti-Israel bigot.

Burdell made a point about out-of-hours meetings being about managers thinking their time is more important than theirs and how they wouldn't enjoy working in a company with 24x7 high-level staff.

Austerity Empowers said that this was about India, although without explaining why.

You then replied with a perfectly valid and common case about companies spanning many time zones, which essentially points out that this is more than just about India. I totally agreed with your point. Then you started waffling on about making people in India being optional in your meeting, which was a totally unnecessary addition when your first paragraph stands very well by itself. Are the people out of hours in other time zones given a free pass, or are they wondering why the Indian team(s) get it easy?

Protip: don't be a condescending twat.
