This issue exists everywhere in the USA. Go check the price for a movie ticket. At the end they slap on an additional fee. Why can't they show the fee included in the main price? I went to the Verde Canyon Railroad, when gas prices wer

Disagree. At least back in the day there weren't endless comments about how this widget is load-bearing, and how honestly the other widget carries the derived widget, referencing decision ADR-100 that is nowhere to be found. All these

Same flow as translating from your native tongue to a foreign language. Going from foreign to native is easier than native to foreign. The latter requires completely different brain paths and a lot more understanding of the language to actu

The value of AI is built on top of the idea that it can erase the cost of labor in a wide range of professions. They're all racing for this, hoping to make money first, because once that erasure really sets in, there is no-one out ther

I have a passkey on CVS, but that YubiKey was eaten by the sewer. Thankfully I can still log-in with a password & text. But how to reset the passkey? No-one knows. Edit: I take that back, for some reason they stopped taking the password

I get a lot of these messages via LinkedIn. They say I'm a good candidate for a job, write something, and tell me if I'm interested to apply via <link>. If a recruiter wants a cut, I expect them to work for it. Me filling ou

I had issues with the Siri Beta. I would ask it to open the garage door, and often it just... failed. Un-enrolling from the beta fixed it.

Quite annoying that you need to get the top plan for 5 cameras, and you cannot get more. I like tinkering with this stuff, everything around me is a perpetual lab, so I have more than 5 cameras that I'd like to hook up to this. But I R

I wonder if this will change how often people in the USA change their oil. Comparing BMWs (which are worldwide cars), the oil change intervals in Europe are literally 2x what they are in the USA. E.g. my previous 2019 M240i (B58 i6): Europe

> A natural evolution of engineers losing touch with the customers and users. I disagree. I think this happens as soon as the MBAs come on board, where everything becomes a metric, and you work towards OKRs.

You probably don't pay for a copy or move there as well. -> You probably don't pay for a copy or move there either. (I'm Flemish and made that mistake before).

Yes. I hike 5 miles a day, I ate super-healthy (no ultra-processed foods, cook at home every day etc), only drink water, coffee & tea. Actually rarely eat stuff which has added sugar on the package, and avoid foods that have > 5 ingr

Playstation's networking capabilities are an absolute mess. In anticipation for GTA6 I actually bought a PS5 Pro 2 weeks ago. I had to create a separate IPv4-only network because it would not complete the user-sign-up on the device on

I usually relate this to people chasing good reviews at work. Maintaining a system and keeping it bug-free doesn't get people promoted. Doing something large, inventing a bunch of metrics, and showing that you improve on those metrics

Are there other options if I want to ship a 'FROM scratch' image with just a single Rust executable, and everything compiled in? That to me is the main driver for MUSL.

I tried to come off Trintellix. 4 weeks was fine. 5th week immense thoughts of doom. Had to take Xanax to bridge it kicking in again.

The problem with shared is the issue of shared cost. How do you determine how much a user consumes? There is also the issue of upgrading the shared infrastructure. Because of the size it's a lot more expensive to replace, so that is po

Sadly 2 parts of Arizona use CA gas. This means a couple of things: those places don't have 93, and the mileage you get out of a gallon is less. I wish the government would ban 2 stroke engines (like leaf-blowers), which would have a m
