I taught my mom to play by using a couple of starter decks, giving a short overview of the objective and what the parts of the card meant, and then played a couple of matches with our cards revealed to each other. You just need to be patient, willing to explain anything, and be generous with allowing take backs and reminding about any rules they missed. And remember that if you want someone to keep playing with you, they need to be able to have fun too.

Last time, the judge said they can't hold him just because Marco Rubio wants to deport him. They were allowed to hold him under the flimsy green card application allegations. This is taking away their other excuse.

It didn't really look like he raised his weapon towards the crowd. He had it lowered until they either started yelling or shooting, hard to tell from the video, he only raised it into a running stance. It was still pointed mostly sideways.

I thought the video would be a slam dunk against him, but it just looks like he panicked when the shooting started and ran away.

This isn't an issue with the Full self driving that people signed up for the beta for. It happens with the cruise control too.

Yeah, Tesla's don't have ordinary cruise control. They have adaptive cruise control and autopilot, which is adaptive cruise control + lane keeping. Both just use the camera. If you're hoping to rest your foot during a cross country drive, then you better prepare for it to lurch every time it sees a shadow. Once every couple of miles if the road has enough shadows.

It looks like there is a window there. You can see the frame on the right side of the photo.

It's a common thing in programming. There's some legacy code that isn't being used and yet removing it causes things to break. Nobody has the time to figure out what is still referencing that code, so it just gets a comment next to it saying "Not used, but removing it breaks the build" and then forgotten about.

Nearly 98% of cars sold in the US are automatic. Manual transmissions are often not even an option for a lot of models.

This press release is from 2023. Not sure why it was posted like it was news.

I think mistakes like this are usually caused by someone changing their mind on one thing they wrote and forgetting to proofread the whole thing to see if it still makes sense. I imagine this sentence started out as "Rock the size of a small boulder".

Luckily it looks like they are in Australia, based on their instance.

Allowing Google to run an ad campaign targeting their members wasn't the benefit Blue Cross was talking about, that's a side effect from them not turning off the data sharing option in the Google analytics settings.

The analytics data is used for prioritizing development work. If a tool they have on the website relies on a library that isn't compatible with a new version of React, for instance, do they know how many people use it? Having analytics allows you to decide what's worth spending the development time to maintain.
