If I buy a flight on Expedia (I wouldn't but that's beside the point), do I get on a plane that says "Expedia" on the side of it? I've never heard of FlixBus, but it seems like the answer would be yes in their case,

Can you give an example of where you've used goto in C or a C-like language? Or a rough estimate of the number of times you've found goto to be the best solution? I agree with your post in principle, but in practice I can't t

I agree. This is actually my chief complaint about YouTube's front page. I wish there were options to categorically remove videos from channels I'm subscribed to and videos I've already watched from the recommendation feed.

Funny. My only problem with the door has been that it sometimes closes half or two thirds of the way. It's clearly partly open and presumably leaking cold air, but it's closed far enough that the audible alarm doesn't activat

Hi, spacecraft flight software engineer here. If I agreed I wouldn't have commented. It's not that we need several orders of magnitude more reliability than any other industry, it's that for some reason most other industries

Spacecraft come to mind. Missions take a long time to come to fruition and there are already enough variables to consider. Fixing the mission control computer configuration as far in advance as possible removes one more variable from the eq

The truly impressive feat (of Jira in particular, but also all of Atlassian's products in general) is how incredibly slow they are. I assume each page somehow touches every single row of every single table in the database because I don

The price of houses in rural America seems to also be skyrocketing. My house 40 miles outside of the nearest "smaller city" (population ~20k) has gone up in value over 50% since I bought it 3 years ago.

How do you do that on an iPhone? I wouldn't mind having a game or two on my phone for when I have some time to kill (e.g. waiting at a doctors office), but AFAICT, the app store doesn't have any way to sort by "Most popular g

Of course it does. I've recently purchase a new washer/dryer and a Bosch fridge. All three units have some kind of connectivity built in, but I just peeled off the stickers telling me how to connect and threw them in the trash. Th

Granted, but the US Army is the only one I have direct experience with. Hand to hand combat seems like such a basic component of combat training that I would be shocked to hear that it is completely absent from any armed forces boot camp. Y

I'm curious where you get the idea that "Not every soldier is taught hand-to-hand combat". It's certainly not true in the US Army.

Yes. Anyone who claims that they will gladly keep drinking coffee despite serious health risks because it preserves their sanity is either making a joke or should probably consider therapy.

I used to use RSS a decade or more ago. It always felt clumsy and half-supported at best. Perhaps you could share what RSS reader you use?

YouTube provides content curation in addition to mere video hosting. In the current state, I can open up my YouTube subscriptions page and see a list of all new videos from people I'm interested in. If every video creator hosts their w

This trend of getting useful support only when complaining on social media is incredibly troubling. Why wasn't this solved by normal support channels? Is it just too expensive to provide decent support unless it's hurting the bran

I'd love to. Linux supports Quicken, AutoCAD, and Affinity right? I'm almost positive that everyone still using Windows is doing so because they have some Windows-only workflow they don't want to give up. Everyone else has ei

This comment is mind-blowing to me. Every single one of the activities in parens is far better accomplished on a desktop with a real keyboard and a large monitor IMO. You really prefer to manage finances on your phone?

I work in the same industry as SpaceX. They are in fact well known for pay that would be average-at-best in a sane work environment coupled with an absolutely insane work environment. When I was in college, my only goal was to get a job at

Is this a post-COVID thing? I've been on about a dozen cruises, most on Royal Caribbean ships, and they have always taken a photo at check in. I've never submitted one in advance.

I think you're seriously underestimating the sheer size of US National forests in California and the rest of the West coast. Wild fires have already burned well over a million acres in California and Oregon this year alone. How many pe

I have never once in my life seen SnapOn tools on a job sight. Kind of beside the point, but you don't really even see pneumatics in construction much anymore. The _only_ pneumatic tool on my current project is my framing nailer. Every
