@rher @mischievoustomato older laptop batteries often had cylindrical cells that don't swell because they're mechanically strong
pouch cells have approximately zero mechanical strength -

wild how pudgy nerds will nuke their endocrine systems and cut their dicks off rather than lift weights for a few months -

@RustyCrab 9 year old girls crushed when they discover they're not going to sprout ears and a tail when they hit puberty -

what an absolute fucking retard
setting aside the relative merits of the systems, the US highway system was established nearly 40 years before the first high speed train came online. I suppose we should've checked our crystal ball and then trundled around on dirt tracks for half a century until high speed rail was ready for prime time -

@RustyCrab @sun doesn't seem so bad to me. presumably once you get the "vulkan layer" working as you want it you're not gonna be doing it over and over again -

@JoshuaSlocum taken altogether computers have probably been an enormous net negative -

if you know what you're looking at you can see clear drops in the quality of mechanical designs over the decades as computers became the preferred and then default design tool
I don't think the fault lies with the computer tools themselves really, except in transition periods where hard limitations of the software forced certain design decisions (e.g., PCB autorouting tools couldn't handle curves). rather, engineers and designers simply got worse at designing things as the tools made their jobs easier. machines designed by guys working with paper and clay and wood 80 years ago are absolute works of art compared with the garbage that's made today, at every price point
there are occasional exceptions of course, but they are *exceptions* -

if there's a real war between india and pakistan it's going to be even harder to get hired in america because the flood of foreign applicants will dramatically increase, clogging up the works even more than it already is -

@sickburnbro this is where I point out that indiana jones and the last crusade was set in the middle of 1938. kristallnacht was months away, invasion of poland more than a year in the future, 3 1/2 years before germany would declare war on the US -

@yafa @mischievoustomato use specialized search engines, not google
you want to find a book use a search engine that looks for books. go on annas-archive or zlibrary and use the filters
academic papers? there are loads of search engines focused on that. if you're in university you likely have access to loads of paywalled stuff. your student account will have some interface with the library to let you search for papers
follow chains of references. when someone mentions a book or paper in something you're reading, look it up. when you find an author you like, look up their other stuff. if they're really good find their personal blog if it exists and read everything they ever wrote
watch technical talks on youtube and take note of any books, articles, or other talks they mention. then look those up too
go to manufacturer websites in the relevant industry and read their literature. many will have training materials or white papers. same with industrial suppliers
go on topic-focused subreddits or forums and search for resource recommendations there. reddit is gay, doesn't mean every recommendation there is bad
go to an actual library in person and just look at the books on the shelves. most fields do not advance so quickly that a 30 year old book is useless, and many out of print books are not available online at all -

my freshman year in college (the first time) had an online course about learning how to use the library resources properly. like navigating the library physically using the catalog system and finding papers about specific subjects and whatnot
I did it in an afternoon because I already knew how from high school and in any event it's not like it's hard, but that sort of class seems like a good idea, to make sure people have fundamental "library skills"
bet most people would just cheat their way through it though, back then and now -

@adiz @mischievoustomato You would be much better off finding source code from skilled humans and studying that. Build things with the tools and techniques you already know and occasionally acquire a new one through practice and study.
Chatbot code is distilled mediocrity even when it's not hallucinating. -

@mischievoustomato you should learn how to do research yourself. it is a distinct skill and one that most people clearly do not have
you were talking earlier about having an offline coding AI. why? all you should need is offline docs
if the docs for a dependency suck and you can't work directly from them, maybe that's a sign you shouldn't use the dependency
