This seems like an issue the author should take up with Jason…
I’m clearly out of the loop.
What is this about?
In my opinion, the world would be a better place if Google published the source code for each project they introduced, popularised, and discontinued.
Here’s a list of the Google Graveyard:
Love this quote:
In 60 percent of cases, manufacturers do not know or do not provide reasons why their drugs fall into short supply, ASHP found.
I’ll take a wild guess at the underlying reason: “profiteering by monopoly”.
It’s mind bending that there are actual humans on the planet, paid a shit tonne more than software developers, who not only believe the parody highlighted by @SwiftOnSecutity, but treat and share it as gospel, acting on it with nutjob metrics to “increase productivity” whilst salivating over the hyperbole around “AI” that is sweeping the globe, dreaming of a better world.
One without those pesky developers with their brains, thoughts and opinions.
But, what do I know, I’ve been in this profession for only 40 years…
Do not Disturb on my phone has the option to turn off everything except alarms and/or calls from a variety of sources. It can be set to be active at certain times of the day.
I’m very confused. About a year ago I saw a YouTube video describing the use of hydrogen as a replacement for fossil fuels.
It went into great detail about the effectiveness and impracticable restrictions on distribution of pure hydrogen, mainly because its extremely small molecules leak through pretty much everything and compression is required to carry any useful quantities around, not to mention storage temperature and refuelling issues.
This was contrasted with using ammonia as a hydrogen delivery mechanism instead. We distribute and transport ammonia around the planet in great quantities already. The chemical process is green, uses significantly less energy, and we already know how to do this.
What I don’t understand is why we’re still talking about pure hydrogen, doing studies about cooking and still trying to promote this as a great fuel, when better, more effective ways exist.
Anyone?

200 miles is long range now?
That doesn’t even get you from Perth to Kalgoorlie, both in the same state…
My first networked computer, on an AppleTalk network was called “()/)/)()”
It was an Apple Macintosh IIci.
It had that name for less than five minutes. That’s how long it took the network manager to find me and demand that I rename it to something that didn’t appear at the top of the Chooser, since that’s where the ADMIN NetWare server should be.
He suggested “ob1”, and that’s what it has been and continues to be for the past 32 years. My laptop became ob2.
Servers under my custody are called short words, generally four characters or less unless they’re disposable and they don’t get a name beyond what the installation process creates.
Edit: Oops, one too many slashes. Fixed.
