Alternatively, “No” is a complete sentence.

Hmm, I dunno if that’s a fair comparison. That house might be structurally sound and just look weird.

World News@lemmy.world•Trump tariffs are coming, but some Chinese companies may already know how to avoid themEnglish
5·1 year agoThis only works if there is enough supply from those other companies. This also assumes that the other companies have a supply chain that isn’t affected by tariffs. Which means each step on the chain needs to produce enough to be a reasonable alternative to tariffed imports.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Immich Public Proxy: Safely share your photos and albums without exposing your Immich instanceEnglish
2·2 years agoThe only one I think is reasonable is GraphQL. But that isn’t rest, and HTTP is just one of the transport layers it supports.
For anything claiming to be RESTful, it’s a crime.

Games@lemmy.world•It’s Not Hard For A Billion-Dollar Company To Credit An Artist From Time To TimeEnglish
31·2 years agoThe article is talking about art in promo material.
Think about it: whenever you see a piece of production art featured in a social media post or a press release or a game announcement at a big televised showcase, all you ever see is the art. You never know who made it, whether it was created by an individual or a small team (or even a studio).

Linux@lemmy.ml•How many Linux kernel developers does it take for the project to stall?
28·2 years agoTwo different concepts.
You’re talking about work slowing because of increased overhead from more people needing to communicate and make decisions.
The OP is talking about the"bus factor". How many people can leave the project unexpectedly and still have the project survive. E.g. if only one person has access to merge changes, the bus factor is 1 regardless of how many people actively contribute.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Immich Public Proxy: Safely share your photos and albums without exposing your Immich instanceEnglish
6·2 years agoYup, also some APIs use GET for everything. It’s a pain. And it means that filtering by verb only helps if you’re intimately familiar with the API. And even then, only if you keep up with changes as they happen. So really, only if you’re developing the API yourself.
I misread the first one as “Dipshit” at first 🤣
Abortion should be legal in all cases
The thread replying to the parent comment is a good example of how restricting abortion access requires people to arbitrarily decide definitions of when a fetus “becomes human.”
It’s best to leave that decision up to the pregnant person in consultation with their medical providers.
but a fetus becomes a unique individual when there is clear, identifiable, brainwave activity.
If there’s no brainwave activity, it’s not a life, no matter how many weeks old pre-birth or how many years old after birth.
This is another arbitrary definition of personhood. That doesn’t mean it’s wrong. But there are other (equally arbitrary) definitions that are reasonable too. (And there are a bunch of unreasonable definitions, but we don’t need to go into those.)

1·2 years agoEven though mobile homes are technically mobile, moving one is expensive
And moving them might destroy them. Most aren’t any more “mobile” then a regular home. The difference is that they were manufactured offsite, trucked in, then installed.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months
3·2 years agoI think they did say that in the older thread. But for proper security, you shouldn’t have to trust them. You should have build tools that will re-fetch everything to create an identical build. That gives a clear chain of custody, which proves that morning has been tampered with.

News@lemmy.world•Study: Increasing minimum wage does not reduce jobs
1·2 years agoI think part of the issue is how business accounting practices work. When you buy a machine, you can call it a capital investment and count its value as an asset. When you hire a person and cultivate them for years, from an accounting perspective their salary is strictly a liability / expense. Even though that person is an asset in every other way, our standard accounting practices don’t reflect that.

News@lemmy.world•Boeing strike: bosses bruised, blindsided and on brink of crisis
18·2 years agoDoes anyone have concrete info on the offer and why it was rejected? Reading between the lines, it sounds like some of the issues were:
- 24% is a lot, but doesn’t bring them back to where they were 16 years ago when their last general wage deal happened
- Contract reduces or removes performance incentives, which might reduce take-home pay overall
- Some employees are mad that their pension was taken away a decade ago
- They don’t trust Boeing to keep it’s promise about building the next commercial jet in the region
Anything else?

News@lemmy.world•JPMorgan Plans to Report Customers Who Exploited TikTok ‘Glitch’ to Authorities
6·2 years agoI assume some variation of this exist for other jurisdictions, but in the US, some crimes require prosection to prove “intent” (mens rea) Depending on the crime, you might have to know that it’s illegal for mens rea.
In US Tax Court, there’s precedence that ignorance of tax code is a defense for criminal tax.

That looks like a really handy resource.
