So .. it would make sense to make a law that requires new parking spaces to have a solar roof which can charge the cars which park there for a few. This would spread rather quickly, I think.

I have solar panels at home and can charge a car .. but I'm mostly parked elsewhere when the sun is shining the most.

There's no reason to assume the charger and the panel have to be colocated if the panel isn't on the car. We have an electricity grid.

So do we, but you can't produce the electricity at one location and consume it in another. In the non-practical sense where our government decided that this is not possible.

"If we threaten people with the state monopoly on violence, they'll do that thing I want."

Sure, probably true!

If solar parking lots are such a great idea, why do you need the threat? It seems like businesses or environmental groups would already be clamoring to install them.

PV parking is a highly visible status symbol and good PR signal for your community or company (hence the few installations), but actually it isn't a great RoI either financially or for the environment.

Sorry - I wasn’t explicit enough. The vast majority of existing and new developments where I live have on street parking - it’s not allocated, there’s no bays.

Still doesn’t solve the problem for people who use street parking.

The options for men (besides condoms) are not much better.

I'm not asking my partner (I'm married) to take any hormones while I wouldn't take any myself.

The problem is that much medicine was developed by men for a long time.

Female doctors are a (relatively) recent development and I'm sure they the situation will improve over time (maybe not in trumpet America) in civilised parts of the world.

> The options for men (besides condoms) are not much better.

I have talked about it before, but silodosin prevents ejaculation (but not orgasm) in men, which can be seen as a contraceptive. It is non-hormonal, it is an alpha-blocker. You would have to experiment with it, however.

I got fired a couple of times so far:

Once during the first 3 months because I questioned the design of the software I was supposed to develop.. I was told that I was discussing too much.

Another time I started doing exact what was asked of me and did some side projects at the same time...I was so bored. Got fired after some time and told that I was incompetent. The reason for my behaviour was they way management behaved towards me.

I later heard that the company lost millions because of this.

A third time I got unfriendly with a manager who was a nasty human and reported him to HR. This got me fired rather quickly.

Dear OP .. why are you spending so much time at work that you hate?

Nothing. Touching another persons computer is not acceptable.

I would complain to HR if anyone did something to mine ..

Change jobs often. With each job change comes a raise (hopefully) and an opportunity to learn something new.

For me this has been every 2 years.

This is good advice.

A large toolbox containing different programming languages will allow you to solve some problems easier than knowing one language only.

Perhaps Rust, C, Python, Bash (for CI stuff).

Find a pattern book and at read it to learn the basic patterns .. and anti patterns.

If you only have a hammer then everything looks like nails ..

Learn Ubuntu or some other flavour of Linux or *BSD. It's free and contains usually all the tools you need. This makes sense if you have the time to learn. Usually you have time to learn while young ..

> "and the only way to listen to music while driving is if you bring along your phone and a Bluetooth speaker"

Why not make a physical connection (power/network) and define a form factor for entertainment system with or without screen and speakers and let other companies design something to fit the space available. I don't understand why no one does this instead of selling cars full of crappy software that can't be upgraded.

Double DIN already exists with fairly standard plugs in the back

This is not plug and play. I want plug and play. You could even make an entertainment system which just runs using a phone connected using usb or bt.. which would make it just like android auto but without needing the car to support anything from google.

That's what cars always used to have. Made them easily stealable though.

This can be fixed by locking the device to a specific car .. by the user.

In case others are wondering why their self hosted devops agents are misbehaving.

This is something that started happening few days ago and is still going on (AFAIK).

I had one manager that was awesome. He didn't know anything about programming, software or development, but he was awesome at networking and asking the right questions of our customers and making the employees feel being appreciated.

The bean counters got him fired because on paper he wasn't selling anything.

I use bluesky all the time and have yet to use the term "skeet".

I don't think it's important. What is important is using a sane environment. X is completely crazy.

Oh I think it’s very important and it’s all we should talk about right now

Make a community on X and only let sane people in.

can we just come up with one common term to to refer to all of my these between sites

"post"

"tweet"

No. Let twitter burn and be forgotten.

You mean like "Xerox"?
