so they just slapped it on the hull and called it a day as they moved on to the M4 Sherman
yep, but you can also easily tell from that photo that the M3 hull formed the basis for the M4 hull. Basically they wanted to build it like the M4 the whole time but couldn’t, so the M3 was made on that platform as a stop gap solution

where was the victory parade on the 4th day of this special operation?
edit: lol I just got banned from the lemmy.ml world news for suggesting that it’s way past a hexbear’s bed time. I guess I should’ve known those mods are tankies
nah, a lot of people are miserable at their jobs all over the world. Just because there might be a decent social system that could tide them over should they lose that job doesn’t mean they’ll just quit
why not? assuming you’re saving them all in UTC they should be perfectly sortable and comparable (before, equal, after) as strings, even with varying amounts of precision when you compare substrings. You can’t really do math with them of course, but that’s what I meant about how DBs interpret dates and time: if you use it do to math and then you also use your application’s date library to do math, you’ll likely run into situations where the two come to different answers due to timezone settings, environments, DB drivers and the like. Of course if I could rely on the DB to do the math exactly the way I’d expect it to, then having that ability is awesome, however that requires more knowledge about databases and their environments than I currently have
But, you totally can? When you store all your dates as an ISO 8601 string (UTC, so with Z at the end), you can simply compare the strings themselves with no further complications, if the strings match, the dates match, if one string is less than the other, the date therein is before the other. Their lexical order is equal to their chronological order
I agree that it’s a massive and unnecessary overhead that you should definitely avoid if possible, but for anything where this overhead is negligible it’s a very viable and safe way of storing date and time
edit: I forgot, there’s also a format that’s output by functions like toUTCstring that’s totally different and doesn’t have any logical order, but I honestly forgot about that format because nobody in their right mind would use it
Personally, I would probably just store them as text, because I’m objectively a terrible programmer.
I don’t know man, I’d far prefer storing a string and have whatever date library I’m using figure it out than have to deal with whatever the database thinks about dates and timestamps
So, I currently have a HyperX Cloud Orbit S headset that I’ve been using for both my PC and my PS4. It’s served me pretty well for a few years, but over the past few months the band has snapped and been superglued/reglued 5-6 times. It still works fine, but I’m getting tired of repairing it over and over, and feel it’s...
well that’s how we know that you haven’t, because if you had actually spent enough time on it to think everything through, you wouldn’t be so confident about what you know and what you don’t know
do we need to go through the differences in training, aptitude and intelligence between pilots, captains and your neighbor Greg again? Marketing it as “autopilot” to anyone who can sign a car loan is reckless and has killed people and will continue to kill people until they stop
