It really is. We don't generally have dedicated school buses here, just a public transit system that takes school scheduled into account. I took a public bus to school, on my own, on my very first day of school at age 6.

Operators occasionally run surveys where I live. This is useful anyway because you really want additional information that you'll never be able to get otherwise, like "what's the purpose of your trip?" or "how did y

Why? I don't think there is a clear and compelling case for doing this given the ecosystem issues. Meanwhile, there's slow but interesting innovation happening in this space e.g. around kitty.

In addition to 'git gui' I would also recommend 'tig'. It allows you to stage individual lines and hunks like 'git gui' but also has a history view. With a little bit of creative key binding, this makes creatin

This observation about the two camps rings very true. The sad part is that while the second camp is the original user base of Git, at least GitHub basically acts as if they don't exist and only really caters to the first camp.

All those bones in fish are pretty bad UX, compared to some of the competition.

That's literally true, though? To make the analogy work for you, you have to add something about doors being unlocked, or somebody else having the key to your home.

I remember using Wordstar and Turbo Pascal (version 3.0, I think?) via CP/M on a CPC.

Sounds like whatever check that was used to determine whether a floppy was present or not had some small probability of giving a false positive. Maybe because without a floppy, the head would read random data that could pass some integrity

Given that the headline of the article is clearly wrong, as another commenter pointed out, I don't think people generally know what it all means. They have feelings associated to the topic, certainly, and those shouldn't just be d

I'm pretty sure abrax3141 understood this. Some things are just unfixable because they're "not even wrong". You basically have to start from scratch.

Eh, I decided not to blow them up because the notion of perfect knowledge is foolish. Those folks have an eternity to figure out how to stop the trolley or jump out. They'll manage. Also: I'm not going to presume that I have the r

This is an interesting one that really drives home just how dangerous it is to try to learn from trolley problems. Yes, if you have perfect information, speeding up the trolley is likely the merciful thing to do. In real life, you never h

I've always had managers who care more about what I deliver than when and where my butt is in a chair. Maybe I'm lucky, maybe I'm good enough that it works out that way.

Honestly? I stay home and might check email when I'm bored but don't do any real work, but I don't usually file sick days either because the bureaucracy is a pain (seriously, I'm already sick, I can't deal with that

It is absolutely possible to get more than 5k after taxes as base salary in Munich as a true senior software engineer. Lots of what TFA calls "tier 3" companies are in Munich.

Fair point. There probably should be standard advice along the lines of "if in doubt, make a 'wip' commit before you do anything". That's good advice even beyond using git itself.

One can argue about whether it's truly extraneous information, but the "despite" is absolutely the wrong connective. The people who think the election was fraudulent do so because of Trump's actions, not despite of t

Aside from the sibling comment's point, keep in mind that the 2000 election was actually decided by a court case. Regardless of how you judge this fact personally, it is at the very least bound to distort survey responses.

How does your claim mesh with the fact that racism, misogyny, and xenophobia are far more common among the right than among the left?

I sort of suspect you're not here in good faith, but just in case: my impression is that there is a difference between left and right when it comes to empathy, but it's not the amount of empathy per se, it's who benefits from

It goes both ways. In the early days of colonization of the Americas, Spain suffered inflation due to an influx of silver. The point is, the amount of money needs to correlate with the size of the economy. There's no single physical go

It's not a BSD vs. Linux thing. It's the entire software stack including user space, e.g. how much is the CPU woken up by silly background tasks doing useless things. That thing can be fixed regardless of the underlying kernel if

This is far too extreme a position and ends up being false as a consequence. Alternatively, you've had a bad pick of managers. A human relationship with your manager with mutual care is possible. The thing to understand is this: your m

Of course, that doesn't mean that price fixing is always a bad idea. We're just so used to not having to deal with genuine shortages that most people don't even consider what can happen when there's a true shortage of es

A very general solution, which works regardless of how the numbers in the envelope are picked: Choose a monotonically increasing function f with values between 0 and 1. Choose one of the envelopes at random. Then look at the number x in the
