Code Didn’t Break — They Did

Text encoding ‘standards’ were clearly the devil’s work, handed down to humanity to sow chaos and suffering.

Well the Synthesizer is a sound of the Future. The sound of the future

This 80s metal band is making real music without synthesizers!

The Omen of the Blind Hound:
Émile felt a chill. “A blind beagle revealed our tricolor,” he whispered. The Prodigiae’s voice echoed in the dim chamber: “An omen urging France to stand alone; alliances will falter.”

It did depend a little bit, what kind of machine/production line he was working on. Before he retired, he worked for an automation engineering company and had different projects in other EU countries, and tried to be understandable for people in those places. He once even coded some Siemens control panel for an aluminum oven loading robot in the czech republic and tried to translate everything to czech with a dictionary (to have the panel info available in czech,english and German). He did of course speak to the foreman of the workers to get it correct.

If Europeans wouldn’t sleep on this opportunity, we could massively improve our science recruiting. Related scientific paper of what getting the fired scientists from an autocracy can do to your science system: https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257%2Faer.104.10.3222

My dad used that a lot to program Siemens Step5 and Step7 PLCs. I think it was German but names were 8 chars since this was straight from the 80s. When he fixed old machines or updated them with new PLCs he had to do full rewrites a few times because nothing was documented in old school machinery.

Upgraded every old MacBook (2009pro, 2015 pro) I had with bigger harddrives and did small repairs with ifixit instructions. But you notice they get less repairable over time. The 2009 thing was built like a tank and you could upgrade ram, replace a broken GPU and this thing over all felt very repairable. I still works but isn’t that useful any more 16 years after release. 2015 was way less repairable.

Depends. How comes there are no monarchies in Austria an Germany anymore and Czechia, Slowakia, Serbia, Slovenia and so on are independent countries not ruled by a decadent vienese Empire

t new regime. If you want peace, you have to fight peacefully. Yes it’s harder, but it’s the only way. But peaceful doesn’t mean passive (or law abiding)!

Oh sometimes, violence works to build peaceful gouvernments after. In Romania political violence created a functioning democracy. Dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu was executed by the revolutionaries after a 30 minute farce of a trial, but the country is now a democracy for more than 35 years.

A big part of the original propaganda of the deed was just that. Killing royals in Europe to show that power of the monarchies is limited

Is this elephant you speak of in the room with us?

But now he sleeps in a racing car

That is something that some tech savy Lemmy users could already easily do. I repost stuff from all over the web. But some systematic preservation of good old subreddits aught to be automated.

If the current dystopian US government abolishes OSHA, the LiveLeak logo might appear over American workers and not only Chinese workers like in the 2000s.

Isn’t this powered by American groq AI inference accelerator cards. At least I hope the groqracks are physically in Europe.
