I hope so, using fish automatically makes you a better person in my humble and completely unbiased opinion

You have no idea what a pain in the ass it is to develop even a fraction of a car. I have seen the madness first hand. Everything is specified precisely, tested, protyped and tested again. Pretty much every part, microchip, piece of software, you name it. In addition you have designers wanting stuff certain ways, cost cutting and so on.

Now take that, put some old farts in exec position into the equation and imagine you want to totally change how cars work. They may be convinced you are right at this point, but now you need to rethink and adapt all processes, develop and specify and prototype tons of new stuff, integrate that with old stuff, build new supply chains, test all that and repeat.

Comparing a company to a containership was always a great analogy. The current situation is attempting a 360 with one at full speed. Startups have the advantage of being build arround new ideas like centralised computing, autonomous driving, modern entertainment systems etc. They have disadvantage when it comes to cost, quality management, distribution, volume... That said, the technological advantage is very pronounced atm.

I'm sure we will get there eventually, but it will definitely take some more time for the Germans to fully catch up.

Yes, no, and they can still become a dish if you wrap them right...Or so I have heard...

You know, I think it's kinda weird. Chatbots are all the hype and yet people hate terminals. Maybe we just need a very over-engineered terminal that insults your pitiful attempts at bash before they are cool again.

No, cause it's my work computer and I don't give a fuck what IT does as long as I have a backup of my stuff

There is a Python interpreter written in Rust. It's apparently intended to (besides being fast an all that) make Rust scriptable.

Tbf, you could use portable / user installs (if everyone would actually do their apps right), you can (now) use a package manager and you can (sometimes...) get an official, verified version of an app through the store and even if not, installers are (usually.....) signed these days (although criminals do apparently get signatures too........)... And then this all falls apart, because you need a random driver from a random website. Security 👉👉

There is also one of these tempting "Get new" buttons there, if you wanna look for profiles online... Be careful tho, many people have spend many hours on customisation after they clicked that button once

Depends, if it's my Rust code I'd rather get some Torvalds-Level C please

Hey, so I have brand new HDDs I intend to put in a btrfs software RAID. They're Seagate ST4000VX016-3CV104 4TB Skyhawks. Workload is basically write and forget, I will probably never delete a thing.

However I decided to test them first and noticed that after writing about 160 GB, some SMART counters have gone up significantly. Read error rate went from 6.632 to 90.238.872 for example (seemingly all correct by hardware ECC), seek error rate from 143 to 87.661.

Am I reading things correctly? This does not seem like the way healthy drives should behave, does it? It similar on all of them tho. Are they just trash-tier drives they somehow got to work with ECC?
