PSA San Francisco is now obligated to issue CCW permits to anyone that completes the paperwork.

@sandrorr23 @IT_unhinged I usually advise people to keep their sticky note in their wallet if they must have one

@webdevMason Bad idea: it’s still too lethal to use when your life is not in danger, but not powerful enough when your life is in danger. Pepper spray will likely serve you better in most situations.

I know being stuck in traffic for 30min may be rage inducing, but it’s no excuse for crossing a double yellow and driving the wrong way @SFMTA_Muni

@eevblog It’s all in how the ICE behaved and where they were deployed. Traditionally, you didn’t see ICE unless you were at a border or were near a very specific raid.

@wongmjane You’re not going to get a reasonably fast model running locally on a laptop

@YandereEito This is why almost all gun ranges require you to either bring a buddy or demonstrate that you already own a gun before they will rent you one. I think their insurance policies actually require it.

Also, if your gun is pointed anywhere it spent be, expect intervention!

@SydneyLWatson As an August-born person: yeah, that’s true.

I turned out fine; builds character

@krassenstein Even as an American, this is wild. Why would you want our butter?

@curtismorrison Think of it as a much more powerful version of Red Bull

Translucent UI is usually a bad idea outside of movies and non-critical game interfaces.

The early moments of joy are fleeting, while the usability issues remain. Windows and Mac have both been down this road before, but I guess a new generation of designers needs to learn the lessons anew. Sigh.

@enggirlfriend Please be aware that the recent Audis have serious engine oil consumption issues that will lead to catastrophic engine failure unless you to top up regularly

A great way to accidentally end up reversing into a lake. Did they not learn anything?

POV your car automatically shifts between Drive & Reverse during 3-point turns or when leaving a parking spot

@solomonstre You need a specialized proxy that is able to coordinate separate endpoints for input and output

Bad take: due process is identifying the person as a burglar. The equivalent here is if the burglar was actually a housemate: you don’t kick them out until you establish that they’re stealing.

[Skscartoon @skscartoon]

The idea of granting the same due process to illegal aliens as American citizens before deportation is nonsensical.

It's like catching a burglar in action but not removing him from your house until he gets a hearing.

The biggest LIE that "vibe coding" community sold to beginners is

that ANYONE can build a production ready app for mass consumption.

It is simply not true (for multiple logical reasons).

Prototype - sure.
MVP for "invite only testers" - definitely.
An app you can show to investors to secure funding - absolutely.

But if you ship that shit to prod without understanding what the code does....

What do you think is going to happen?

Don't believe the hype. LEARN TO CODE, then you can use AI to help you do it faster, anon.

@eevblog Flip it. Awesome hardware deserves to be used by those who need it

@GergelyOrosz It’s just simply so much easier to acquire users when the web platform is good enough. Mobile optimizes for retention at the expense of growth.
