Are you sure you want an incentive structure that directly financially rewards rage bait? At least with ads they want to keep you on the page longer.

Because your ticket that includes it will be the same price as the ticket you're getting now that excludes it. That was broadly the point of the article— the lowest tier fares didn't get cheaper, you just had to pay more to get wh

Not to derail the Python speed hate train but pyenv is written in bash. It's a tool for installing different versions of Python, it would be weird for it to assume it already had one available.

We're talking about personal vehicle ownership, there's no opportunity cost because you weren't going to make money on it anyway. My car sitting in my garage isn't costing me money nor is it losing value to me as a means

I'm not sure why anyone thinks it will compete with car ownership. You know what's better than an autonomous taxi, a private autonomous taxi that's just for you.

Except it's 4 payments of $20. The whole selling point is that they're zero interest. It's CC float without the CC.

I mean on Disney+ right now Elio is 3rd on the carousel behind Frozen on Ice and Spidey and His Amazing Friends. Doesn't seem like they were promoting it that hard. You would think a 250 million dollar investment would give them top

So as a comparison I asked AI to translate the text as closely as possible to modern English. Which I know is the task given to the students but the text isn't hard once it's in roughly your native tongue, it's just written u

Calling Stephen King enjoyable but forgettable I don't think works as an argument because I think it's pretty rare for an author to have 5+ novels that are so influential as to be cultural touchstones for multiple generations. The

I feel like this is a pretty bold statement for a population that depending on what year you're calling contemporary was probably somewhere between 30-50% illiterate. I really wouldn't expect reading proficiency to be radically di

This argument basically boils down to "because I think they're bad" as being the differentiating factor. That's not a strong argument when every country has a rap sheet of horrible things they've done. Half the damn

I'm so confused by the chimney thing, a nice wood stove which I assume your neighbor is using because it's not practical or possible to heat your house with a fireplace can get you 70-80% efficiency and run overnight. They burn cl

Since it's Apple talking to Apple (and other iOS apps) it doesn't actually have to be MCP and they already have SiriKit. So I mean they already did build it in a weekend. SiriKit has broadly the same features as MCP exposing conte

Woof, it does genuinely seem that if you "cold apply" to basically any job these days it goes straight to /dev/null. At this point I don't even bother unless I have a foot in the door through some irl networking mea

I had thought about throwing an exception for Tesla because they did manage to create cars that people outside the US want. So I guess that does count but I doubt they're what anyone thinks of when they think of American car makes. Oh

Genuine question, we have manufacturing strength in the US auto industry? Even among Americans, American cars aren't considered that good. There's a massive reliability premium you pay for Honda and Toyota. Even cars with 100k m

This is just how the horror genre works. Big fantastical monster or supernatural horrors but meant to be connected to real life fears. The classic haunted house trope where the family sinks all their money into a house and father gets slowl

I'm confused by your question, lists don't enforce uniqueness—you can do ["a", "a"] and it's perfectly valid. Sets and the key values of hash maps can't have repeating elements. You can for_each over

Look, we can talk about how the political views of Democrats and Republicans shook out over the last 15 years but trying to dispute that the Tea Party was founded and fueled by an intense racism laser focused on Barack & Michelle Obama

I'm not, that's just where it started. The movement has grown massively since it's humble beginnings during the Barack HUSSEIN Obama era. They started hating Obama before he took office, to say it's a response to what he

It's not about them being ordered it's about them being unique. You're generating a resource for each element and that resource has a unique name. The stackoverflow way to iterate over a list is to use toset() but more often

If you mean what Wayland literally calls "staging" it means that compositors should adopt it now, it doesn't mean pre-release. Once multiple compositors implement the protocol it can become stable.

by Spivak 1y ago
Do you mean dbus as the other protocol? Because that's an intentional choice to separate out the protocol for drawing windows and responding to events and "desktop stuff" that's not related to being a window on the scree

HCL != Terraform HCL, like YAML , doesn't even have a module system. It's a data serialization format.

by Spivak 1y ago
This is what you get if you want a declarative syntax. HCL doesn't have any concept of a for loop, and can't have any concept of a for loop— it's a data serialization format. Terraform can be transformed to and from JSON loss
