Well, you can play “who started it” to no end, but technically direct country-to-country assault started with Iran’s missile barrage on Israel.
Now of-course this was preceded by the killing of IRGC members in Syria (and some by beeper casualties in Lebanon), but they were there handling Hezbollah attacks on Israel.
Are you referring to the start of the 12 Day War here? If so, are you leaving out Israel's unprovoked airstrikes on Iran out of ignorance or dishonesty?
Java 25 is an LTS, I guess you can use that for a couple of years still. But at some point of time, macOS will be too old and all kinds of software will no longer install.
That's a complete non-starter for now and the next decades. Fully automated operation for 1-dimensional transport (trains) is a solved issue, for 2D, not so much and most certainly not for 3D.
Even though modern planes are very reliable, too many things can go wrong during flight to leave it to a machine - and for what? Just for bragging rights?
Obviously this is a personal preference, but the multiple layers of beveled grey on the Qt UI is not something I like, as it forces a lot of grouping on the eye where it doesn't serve any purpose.
I would go with the original, Apple or the Win11 one. Material would be good, what's with the lavender shades?
I always try to reduce the palette: say two background shades max, no drop shadows, only as many foreground colors as needed and if it seems to bland, add more bells and whistles.
At this point I dunno if Win11 has an “original” UI. Up until Win 8 Microsoft kept introducing new widget sets. I think the official answer for how you are supposed to develop desktop apps is “use Electron” so far as I can tell… or better yet make a web application.
Germany IS suffering from high energy prices, but renewables are only a small part of the problem.
It was a mistake to shut down the working nuclear power plants, and that also coincided with the abrupt loss of all (cheap) gas from Russia. Now, the country imports expensive LNG and renewables generate something like 80% on a good day - but thanks to merit order, the most expensive form of power generation sets the price and that is gas.
It doesn't help that thanks to shifts in industry, the grid has to be re-developed north->south instead of west->east and south-north. NIMBYism is rampant in Germany, so new high-voltage lines can take decades. Meanwhile, renewable capacity has to be shutdown if the transmission capacity of the grid cannot keep up during windy, sunny days.
Things are slowly improving what with grid-scale batteries coming online, and one major north-south connection being done. But yeah, it's going to take years still, and if our current governing coalition have their say, it's going to take even longer.
The guy is located in Germany, and disclaimers of that sort do not work here. IF something breaks because of this commit, he will be liable - not that I believe this 2y old kind of prompt injection still works or anyone would go after him, but the legal situation over here is different than in the USA.
Why would you write a lot of software to find the closest match (which doesn't even seem that good) if you could also ask a subject expert? I guess you could even just post a photo to some subreddit with people who could tell you what it is...
Also: "it shouldn't be here; the nearest coastline is Dammam's, 500 km away." - are people really that ignorant about plate tectonics and sea fossils in mountains?
2 months ago: no limits. 1 month ago we had a leaderboard for whoever had the highest token spend not taking into account what was actually produced. This week: “everyone is using opus too much, just use it for planning.”
i've worked at so many places where the propaganda/marketing and reality on the ground is so disorienting/shocking i don't really expect this to be any different...
