This is extremely reductive. Just as OP doesn’t support Russia in its war against Ukraine, and just as many US citizens don’t support America’s actions abroad, there aren’t any countries that teach their kids to chant “death to America” for

Hang in there, I hear it’s anything but easy working for freight rail.

Somewhat tangental, but I keep my music in the Music app. Wireless music sync is great and usually does what I need. Once in a blue moon, however, it'll absolutely scramble every album cover of every song I have.

I'd argue that's only true if you ignore loneliness in areas outside of cities. I would have a hard time living somewhere that I didn't run into people. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6179015&#x

You mean the one that every corp has to pay, regardless of monopoly status? Or something else?

They are given a de facto monopoly. It’s weird that a private company is building and owning public utilities, but if they’re going to be granted a monopoly, then it’s not unreasonable for that privilege to come at a price.

The problem is that the freight companies run these incredibly long trains now, which no longer fit into the siding (a bit of track that splits off from and then reconnects to the main track to allow one train to pass the other). So even if

I’ve been a Fastmail user for years, but I don’t know that I’ve had the same experience. I think I’ve noticed a few UI polishes, but nothing that broke my workflow. What sorts of things have you ran into specifically?

That response is probably standard support procedure. I think it’s pretty reasonable behavior. Could it be better? Sure. Is the person handling Twitter interactions doing their job? Also sure.

Why do they deserve punishment for iterating on their product?

by bichiliad 1y ago
I’d argue that neither set of rules is made for them, so it’s not surprising that they take the most convenient of the two. Plus, it’s not out of the question to have laws in which red lights act like stop signs and stop signs act like yiel

The original comment talks about replacing it with something else. Forfeiture is something across law enforcement bodies, not something that one party does. Plus, I’m not exactly seeing police departments get staffing turned over every time

I was really sad that we lost Andy Byford. As far as benevolent transit dictators go, I can’t imagine doing much better.

This could be related to the re-versioning of macOS from 10.x to the year of the release.

I feel like local-first or offline-first can be seen as something catered to niche users when it's brought up in front of strategy or planning folks — they imagine most people having good, reliable internet all the time. The truth is a

Relatedly: - The padding in fights is much lighter than in practice or sparring. The added weight is good for conditioning, blunts sharp impacts, and slows down your speed. - If you spar anyone, you're expected to have at _least_

There are some external projects that have tried to port tsc to native. stc[0], for instance, was one. Iirc it started out in Go since it had a more comparable type system (they both use duck typing) making it easier to do one-to-one conver

You’re ignoring the context of my comment. They’re implying that Indians are second-rate engineers, not that they have a cuisine that uses lots of spices.

“Meth” is methamphetamine, not methylphenidate. Ritalin isn’t the same thing as Meth. Not sure about how Ritalin vs Adderall act different on dopamine.

I think a system that makes it this easy to shoot yourself in the foot is probably not a great system. Documentation is important, and I'm glad it's clear and obvious, but humans make mistakes. You'd hope that the mistakes ha

Bit of a shameless plug, but I wrote about how Etsy migrated to TypeScript a few years back. I agree with the author generally: TS strict mode is the way to go, and you may find yourself regretting the alternative, even if it sounds appeali

I think that assumes a lot about what people do in the winter. I do most of my running in the winter because the summers are too hot to run, for instance.
