In practice it does feel like basically every single Amtrak is delayed after just a few stops, so I would be shocked if the situation is worse in Germany. However to put some numbers on it, here are Amtrak's own stats: https:/&#x

FYI you also need a bit of custom CSS to get rid of the title bar if you want to replicate this screenshot. By default if you turn on vertical tabs you still have an empty title bar across the top.

Yeah, wait for someone to die and put someone else on the court. The Supreme Court has completely changed its mind on basically every important issue in the country's history, and it does so when the justices change, not when the evide

No, I don't think so, 295x is a crazy high factor. The article says 260 people are involved, and let's generously say it took 20 years to write the software (the first mission was 10 years after the program started and it was arou

Please do not do this. The product you're describing would make the world a significantly worse place.

Monitoring a remote machine makes a lot of sense. I'm still not totally getting how it can work for live collaboration, but if it works for you that's great. I do love the minimalist efficiency.

I get that, but it's also designed for sharing your entire laptop screen, so you'd have to either switch back and forth between code and chat, or take up half the screen with your chat app, both of which seem like they would be pr

What is your use case for screensharing without audio? I can't figure out when that would be useful, you have to communicate with the other person somehow.

This is like saying that you know gas power plants are not good for the environment, so you're hoping to get gas generators into more homes to generate capital and demand to fix the problem. If your company is successful enough for you

Sure, I think that would be great for everyone. As a renter I would love to have access to more public data to help me negotiate against my landlord's greed.

No actual implementation of a language is Turing complete because the universe is finite, but a language specification could be. I think the argument here is that even if you had a computer with infinite memory, if you implemented C99 per t

The way we're going to prevent unnecessary climate change is to progress beyond historic methods of energy generation, transportation, contruction, etc. rather than stagnating and just sticking with what we know how to do. The only peo

This particular change is not inevitable. Humanity as a whole would adapt, but individual humans on the order of millions and billions would needlessly suffer and die during the centuries of adaptation.

Interesting, looks like this is Windows' (or maybe Firefox's) fault. If I go into Windows Personalization settings and turn on dark mode, the buttons don't do anything as you say. If I set that to light mode, then I can toggl
