I can see now how that line can give the wrong impression. My unit is very dear to me, to the point where I call it by name like any other housemate. It's always "honey, I'll give Bob a go at these dishes". I guess I was expecting constructive discourse on HN without having to dodge knee-jerk comments at every step.
Scroll down to FAQ, and expand the first question: Is the use of a Bob cassette mandatory?
LE: It's also mentioned in the rewind project's README.
> Credit where credit's due, Daan Tech didn't completely lock down the machine with Bob cassettes. Once empty, you can leave it there and add detergents manually.
Every time this gets posted to HN, the comments go straight for "DRM bad!", when the Bob dishwasher does NOT in fact require you to use the proprietary cassettes.
> Each Bob cassette is returnable and reusable. We refill them and put them back on the market. Close the loop, lower your carbon footprint.
You're also NOT required to use the cassettes. You can just throw standard dishwasher tablets in. This is mentioned in Bob's manual, and probably on the website as well. I've been doing this for years and had no issue. There is no DRM-like aspect to Bob.
And finally, it's not a worse washing machine as you say, it's just smaller and more flexible (wrt plumbing), and as Techmoan mentions in his intro, this is a very strong advantage of Bob for people living in small European apartments.
Now we're getting somewhere. The taboo is when you start accounting for christofascist families churning out children like it's a Factorio assembly line so that there are always more of "us" then there are of "them".
I'm not sure when Slovakia entered the chat, but I was responding to the parent's question of how could the workers (in Sweden) be prohibited from deciding whether to strike, and was trying to make a point that US commenters go by US laws which do not apply here.
By living and working in the U.S.. Most commenters here are wrongly assuming workers in Sweden have as little rights as they do, and probably just as exploited as well.
There's a more insidious side effect to prettier related to the line length thing which I'm not sure other commenters touched upon, and the reason I avoid opinionated formatters.
Prettier will affect your diff in ways you didn't intend to.
Remove a member from a destructuring assignment that brings it below the line length limit, and suddenly your diff is +1/-5 instead of 0/-1, making it slightly more difficult for your reviewer to see what the exact difference is between those 5 lines removed and 1 line added - it's not immediately clear which member was removed.
You try to rewrite a previous commit to fix a typo using Git's interactive rebase, and now the next commits won't replay on top if it because Prettier decided to reformat an entire code block.
Another fun thing to try with prettier: add a precommit hook that runs prettier, and then try to stage partial file changes.
> I dislike the attitude of those who reject ads but also refuse to pay
And I dislike YouTube's hostile ad escalation in recent years. One ad - fine, two ads - hmmm, three ads - what the hell. Unskippable ads. Inappropriate ads. Loud-ass eardrum ripping ads. Ads even on Premium.
Your theory is assuming I'm using more toilet paper than usual, or that my budget for toilet paper has increased in the past 2 years, which is just patently ridiculous.
No, this is not a joke. I wipe the same as pre 2020. I had a couple of pay raises since then, but I still buy the same amount of TP, and the price is still 50% higher than before.
"sick" is right. A healthy market should be fine, but we have generations upon generations of chief money maker officers each trying to make line go up in the small window of time they're with the company. Repeat this enough times, and there won't be any more profit to be made.
There will come a moment in time when consumer wealth has been almost entirely absorbed, leaving businesses with no further profit to gain from traditional revenue streams. After years of relentless pursuit of profit, multinational corporations will have effectively captured a significant portion of the world's wealth, consolidating resources and power in the hands of a privileged few.
Will the tipping point where no more wealth can be attained become the catalyst for a long-overdue revolution, leading humanity on a path towards a more just and sustainable future, or will it mark the beginning of an irreversible descent into chaos and despair?
"It works" is the most common metric I've seen juniors decide when to submit code (the rest being just trash). Add code review to that and expect it to get merged because "it works"? Not sure the problem is with the code review holding up the ship...
