Thread: I realize that I have tons of thoughts on the Alaska summit. And if I don’t start writing them down, I fear I will never get around to it.

This might be a long one that I add to a little at a time.

If true, probably either to ensure they can be independently designed and deployed, to ensure that one can be down without causing wider outages, or both. So it's resilience, not speed, causing this usually.

Disclaimer: that's purely based off of the screenshot, I don't know this system. 2/2

Duration and/or batch size likely aren't the reason. From the looks of it, this shows an event driven system, and the usual reason for doing so is to reduce coupling between components.

So the part that registers the subscribing and the part that processes other metadata are kept independent. 1/2

For example, Unit Testing Principles, Practices and Patterns is great for coaching and advanced skill dev, whereas The Art of Unit Testing is better for newcomers. And they combine incredibly well with the XP books from Kent Beck or TDD books. (The latter not from Manning but still.)

New releases/new MEAPs would definitely be great, saves me from having periodically crawl the website.

Maybe some more in depth posts about a topics and what books combine well/are useful for which scenario.

If you have AC anyway, you can also have it do double duty as heating.

(Though it requires well-insulated buildings. As a European I don't know if US building code makes it as effective as it's here for newer homes.)

I suspect it's either the new background loading or the Volvo tuning pack causing this. I also occasionally notice the truck jerking when hooking up the trailer, as if my new truck configuration is not completely correct for the physics engine.

Sometimes, just sometimes, bugs are hilarious 😂

Trying to hook up my truck to the cargo in Euro Truck Simulator 2 somehow led to this.

It's reproducible and I have the save, so I guess I should file a report. "fixed" by quick traveling to the repair right behind this Norrfood.

I think you guys need a bigger overhaul of work culture to make it work though.

The fundamental issue is that here, free time is free time. No need to keep phone on or anything.

That leads to a whole lot of other things, including often (not always) the ability to work when/how much you want.

Sherlock is a bit slower than us, we're too smart for him 😂

I mean, you also just posted him saying that peace with Ukraine in 24 hours is more difficult than he thought (but as difficult as we already expected)

Zo te zien echt, een volledig met je eens!

Let us know if you see our missing ULA cameraman. This was the last photo we found on the roll… #Kuiper2 @ProjectKuiper (Just kidding)

I doubt that SCS will rework trucks that aren't for sale as new anymore.

In a way it's already generous that they keep them drivable across updates at all 🥺

But although unlikely, I would like an interior rework too.

I briefly drove a Stralis from the second-hand market about a year ago, the first truck I bought in the game.

Are we talking about that model or something much older?

At least I agree with Martin that the outside looks nice 🤩

If you want to know how a screen reader is going to read an emoji, this is the Unicode emoji list:

Also useful for checking if an emoji is going to convey the same meaning for screen reader users as you intend it to.

Summary of the significant evidence that the B-2s currently airborne are a strike package heading directly for Iran:

1. Immediate refuelling after departing from Whiteman Air Force Base indicates that the aircraft are carry close to their maximum payload.

😂

They knew your weakness 😂😂😂

Wow.

If I calculate that right, your now-current Asus is 8 years old. That's a testament to SCS how well their games run on older hardware. 💪

Wow. I started playing a year ago, at 1.50, so I have missed a LOT of the game's development 🥺

Things have changed almost certainly, because the Volvo FH780 had so little torque during the Xmas holidays that I stuck with the Scania for heavy hauling, but since 1.54 it feels super snappy.

Whether that's related to your fuel economy woes, I don't know though 🥺

I never even looked at my fuel economy in ets2 😲

What caused it to change? The PhysX changes?

I didn't know his personnel situation had deteriorated so drastically, or I might not have responded to you in the first place.

This drastically changes the calculation. Not to SpaceX being incompetent but to Musk ruining its competence.

(As a spaceflight enthusiast this saddens me, btw.)

Veel problemen bij SpaceX terug te voeren op Elon Musk: ‘Hij stelt snelheid voorop’ SpaceX zegt opnieuw de oorzaak van de explosie te hebben gevonden en van de data geleerd hebben. 'Dat kun je een tijdje volhouden, maar op dit moment zie je...

This (Dutch) news article says that many experienced engineers have left the company due to Musk's antics, so the remaining are either inexperienced or pulling double shifts, or both, which would make "human error" true but much closer to your original jab at Musk. 1/2

Your health is most important. Especially with that big (and grave) of a list. Stay strong please 💪

YouTube video by Scott Manley SpaceX's Latest Starship Explodes During Ground Test

Scott added an update post to his video that the leading candidate is a COPV failing below specification.

While this does ring AMOS-6 bells, SpaceX also learned so much from that mishap that they're now absolute experts in the field.

So probably a human error.

The amount of money going to space is a very small fraction of the government budget, and most of it goes to either defense or science (weather satellites, gps, climate study, voyager, etc), so cutting it down is not my first choice. But I'm European so I'm biased 😊

The fact you admit it makes you a stronger person, keep that up! 💪

Yeah, I figured, and I can't blame you for that instinct. It's tempting.

But there's plenty of shade opportunity while staying with the facts.

We should leave peddling with less-than-accurate information to others 💪

Also, frustratingly, there are very few alternatives currently. Boeing/ULA are mired in their own scandals and cost/schedule overruns, Bezos' ownership of Blue Origin makes them contentious too. Rocket Lab is good, but only has a small launch vehicle currently. So, rock, hard place.
