It's brutal but true. Either have a revenue model or expect no income. That is the reality. The fuzzy grey bit in the middle is where all the garbage is. Your idea sounds a fantastic way to make a system incredibly complicated with no

Yeah nothing wrong with that. This is how it goes for me though: 1. Company stuffs ads down my throat. 2. I use adblocker 3. Company blocks me 4. I ignore company. The whole problem starts at (1) which is "create a business supported

I’ve found that for basic service stuff it takes less time and cost than futzing with garages.

Exactly this. My Duster cost me 6 years of Mercedes service fees to buy outright.

Yeah mine is doing ok (2018 Duster). Hasn’t needed anything major doing to it other than tyres brakes and normal service stuff. Driving it to Iceland this year from UK via Norway so will probably kill it at some point.

Own a Dacia. At least when it breaks the parts are cheap :) New wing mirror cost me £25!

99% of people don't seem to care. Granted that's a problem but really it shows everything is a matter of perspective.

I don't think this is really a problem. Communications have always been a messy thing over time, from language issues to reliability issues to incompatibilities and costs. Regardless of what stands, it's pretty damn good at the mo

Myself and my ex wife are quite tall. All my kids are short. YMMV.

I despise this perspective. It’s pretty much finished. What more crap do you want shovelled onto it?

I’ve got a mathematics with stats degree. You’re talking rubbish.

Nowhere near that. They’re a totally unproven tool with a lot of bad side effects. They just don’t want to go to market with that. I mean they do truly useful stuff already using ML just not LLMs

Since they got rid of Jony, it's been great. That's all I'm saying.

I think your expectations are wrong. They sit there in silence with a few leaks here and there and some github projects, people speculate and get all excited about extrapolating those things. Then Apple deliver what works which may or may n

No irony in this comment at all. The point is bad news spreads to "I won't bother".

Good to see people are working on getting rid of down slowly. Hopefully they can work out how to scale this up. I actually have a cheap Columbia synthetic down jacket and it's lighter, packs better and warmer than the really expensive

It's always the accountants. Those big ass SQL boxes cost serious money.

Why would you put yourself through it though? It's stressful. I spend enough of my time on the phone to Amazon through AWS and because my stuff is stolen.

Not very reliable. The only two people I know who used one of these stores both got mischarged and never went back again. That news travels fast.

Yeah just teaching my 17 year old to torrent stuff. That was a learning curve and a half for her. So you don't know what File Explorer is?

As other people have said, there's an NMI line. But that's not usually how it's implemented because you tend to want to mask it if the thing is doing a real time or time critical task. The Z80 CTC was the canonical solution.

I made my own version of AWS workspaces inside AWS because workspaces is a buggy piece of shit and the client sucks. It's just an EC2 instance which can be started and stopped by a makefile that runs awscli and I query the IP address a

That's not even an analogous argument.

Eventually. At the end users's cost of time, memory, CPU and laggy ass performance while the JIT process is running. This is done on potentially millions of machines multiple times a day. Which is my point about it serving the needs of

Exactly that. "Build it and they will come" is one of those stories only the victors tell. My own approach was to tell everyone to go away who was asking stuff and finally give in to the most persistent person, then reluctantly bu

I bet that one has the conspiracy nuts going.

Yes that. Lines up with the meme going around. They call me 007. 0 coding skills. 0 social skills. 7 Udemy certificates.

As purely an end user, yes. I don't want to run another virtual machine that eats up RAM, has worse performance and battery life than something natively compiled and generally serves only the interests of the person servicing it to me.

Apple photos is wonderful for this. I can search for “cows” and I get photos of cows. All on device in the middle of a mountain with no internet 50 miles in any direction.

Kyrgyzstan roads. I was nearly killed by a Chinese truck swerving around a donkey which was chilling in the middle of the road in the middle of the night.
