No, (f+(0.5*a))/b.

Aesthetics should never get as many points as functionality.

Personally there’s just certain controls in a car I firmly believe should NEVER be digitized anyways.

I mean; there’s nothing stopping you from using a car from an earlier era; and bodging in an Android Tablet into your dashboard as an infotainment system.

The thing doesn’t need to be concerned with your climate controls or anything else on your CAN bus for security reasons anyways. So you can leave those controls as they are and just let the tablet replace your Radio effectively for 100% DRM free media enjoyment with your favorite fully rooted and flashed tablet running whatever FLOSS version of Android firmware you like.

(As if spoken by the King to Simba:)

Rust: Everything from the bottom of this cliff to the acacia tree there is ours. Make sure you ask permission before you take something, take nothing you are not permitted to take. We don’t go beyond that tree; and if you even think about the elephant graveyard beyond it; I’ll kill you myself.

C: Everything the sun touches is yours. I caution you to not venture into the shadows; but I will not stop you, for you are a king, and nothing a king can do is unnecessary if it is for his people.

I think there’s a problem with the ‘C only’ devs refusing to be accomodating to the Rust developers. Instead of being stubborn; why not provide them what is needed and help the Rust team learn how to maintain what is needed themselves?

None of the reasons I’ve seen mentioned are legitimate reasons for refusing to at least help them a few times, and helping them to learn how to do the onerous task themselves so they can keep it off the main plate for too long.

C devs do not need to learn Rust to provide critical information; they need only be present and cooperative with Rust devs to help them find, convert, and localize data structures for Rust use. They can stand to sit and pair code with their Rust Dev counterparts long enough to teach a Rust Dev counterpart how and what they need to look for in C code. It’s not that big of an ask, and it’s not something that really is a large ask. Provide the bindings for a short period of time, and work on training a team of Rust Devs to maintain the bindings.

That way both sides are stepping up to meet the others and the data isn’t being sat on by the C-only Devs.

The CEO is oftentimes a company policymaker; I think it would be foolish to ignore that fact.

I’ve been boycotting C-f-a for at least 15 years now; and I don’t tell my friends or suggest that my family eat there either; except as an emergency uber last resort. The gas station (burritos/sushi/hot-dog-warmer) would be suggested first.

My current partner(s) know and respect my feelings for the company and they feel roughly the same anyways; and so we never eat there.

No shade on tea drinkers; but I prefer coffee. Iced. With cream and sugar. Yum.

Tea; if that’s what you prefer, should be iced and sweetened to taste; unless you live above a certain latitude or are experiencing weather that is no warmer than (10 Celsius/50 Fahrenheit/283.15 Kelvin/509.67 Rankine/8 Réaumur/12.75 Rømer) in an 8 to 24 hour period

Firefox; being open source as it is; is not in danger.

Now snap some pics of this kitty laying in different places all over this couch; you now have a new meme: Address Space Layout Randomization.

You would be surprised how hard it can be sometimes to source batteries due to shipping rules and regulations; as well as the general difficulty surrounding just building your own battery pack…which can end badly if you aren’t an electronic engineer or similar professional who knows exactly what they are doing.

I must warn you of the dangers of pushing batteries in a failure state like this though; Lithium batteries can sometimes fail in explosive ways.

Keep an eye on the thermals and don’t let it expand or pop on you.

Either Linux has no idea what your battery is telling it; or your battery is just…toast.

Let’s just hope for your sake it’s just a funny linux bug. Replacing specific laptop batteries can be a tremendous pain if you can’t find a specific cell that works for your device.
