Now I’m curious what that Quake 3 ad was. Just lots of gore?

But do you have the Tribal Edition?

Is it still a DEI hire if it’s also a glass cliff?

The first was probably Duke Nukem 3D, released January 29th, 1996:

If you consider their hacky approach to 3D cheating (they didn’t support one part of a level to be above another, and implemented looking up/down by just distorting the image, so all corners were too pointy), then you’d have to wait a few months for Quake.

The first actually 3D first person game was Quake, released June 22nd, 1996, and it let you swim:

It looks like you’re relying on media automounting to access the drive, but this is happening too late for Docker.

I would suggest creating the empty folder and explicitly adding the mount to /etc/fstab instead. This should mount early enough, and even if it doesn’t it needs an empty folder for the mount point anyway.

Edit: Make sure you reference the partition by UUID, because the device name of USB devices sometimes change after a reboot.

I’m a straight white dude who goes to work to do work, not to find someone to party with. The common ground is having the same job.

My current team has the following composition:

• Two straight white guys in their 40s, one of whom is an immigrant
• One gay white guy in his 30s
• One straight Indian guy in his 50s
• One straight Indian woman in her 20s
• One straight black guy in his 20s

We all get along just fine. Sometimes I learn something new about a different culture or lifestyle.

Not all aspects of diversity are equally important. I’ve been in teams before where everyone else was Argentinian. I’ve had teams where everyone else was Indian. I’ve had teams where we were all straight white dudes. They were all fine.

The most important part of diversity for me is a nice spread in experience level, which usually means a spread in age. I like training people who are more junior than me, but I also like someone more senior to learn from. Having someone more senior than me also prevents me from gliding into a role where I only train people or review their work, which I’m not personally interested in.

To answer that, one would first need to answer how much energy is required to make a portal. That is a tricky question to answer, because that tech doesn’t exist.

There are more things you could ask about even if the job description is good, though.

As a software engineer I like to ask questions about the team dynamic. I’m not interested in working with a bunch of bros, so having some diversity in the team is good.

Surely, what they need is an upgraded and more expensive VR headset.

Change, yes. But everything except his ego will do just fine if he drops down to 1% of his current wealth.

You mean his reputation. He’s still the richest man in the world.

That makes some sense. When you’re smuggling something you want it as pure as possible, so it takes up less space and is harder to detect. You cut it with something else after you smuggle it.

The same thing happened during prohibition. They smuggled hard liquor, not beer.

Worse, they’re actively incentivizing it.

They’d definitely do that, and add some other creative charges as well.

This one is different, though. Most of them are just OTA software updates, the physical ones aren’t as common. Although I think there was an issue with how they secured the top of the gas pedals on the Cybertruck earlier.

I’ve never done anything like this, but would it be possible to place such a sensor between the mattress and the frame instead? That would result in a fraction of the load due to the distribution of the weight. The challenge would be to set the threshold right.

Pedestrians would probably learn more from the experience if they don’t die.

It’s barely sold outside the US because other places (like the EU) also care about the safety of people outside the vehicle. That’s why European and Asian cars (except the models explicitly for the US market like the Tacoma) are designed for pedestrians to be deflected, while US cars are a moving brick wall which will squish them like a bug.

Also, I suspect you’d need commercial plates and a special license to drive it most other places, due to the weight.

Was the Pinto really that bad, though, or did Mother Jones do them dirty?

In the numbers above, the Pinto is hardly a standout deathtrap; I mean, by modern standards, sure, everything on that list is a horrible deathtrap, but the Pinto was safer than the Toyota Corolla or the Beetle or the Datsun 210, and none of those cars are as burdened with the oppressive fiery deathtrap narrative as the Pinto is. In fact, the Pinto’s overall deaths per million vehicles is better than the average!

ZigBee is already so widespread that I don’t see it going away. I’d be much more worried about your WiFi devices.

While WiFi as a network technology certainly isn’t going anywhere, most WiFi-connected devices talk to a service on the internet. You probably created an account somewhere to manage your WiFi devices. So if the manufacturer shuts down their service, which happens all the time when they either shut down the whole business or abandon a product line, you will have no way to manage your devices.

ZigBee will continue working as long as your hardware does, because you control the software managing it.
