Indeed - I don't generally fly on US low cost carriers, but regularly used to fly on EasyJet in Europe, and the non-reclining seats were just more pleasant for everyone.

Except that isn’t an alternative title, unless you want to lie by omission thus being wrong. “Apple offers new option for subscription in addition to existing one-time purchase optinos” might be an alternative though, and reduce the number

This is some magical thinking. Even if Samsung took all their manpower, all their thought process and all their capital, they still couldn’t produce a laptop that competes with the MacBook (just to take one example), because they fundamenta

.. what? Apple has a broader market appeal and penetration today than it has ever had. Your proposal _may have_ been true in the 90s, and in the early 2000s.

You’re going to need to cite a non-tabloid source if you want that claim to be taken seriously. Starmer is indeed very unpopular, but “least popular ever” is not a claim which even has an agreed-upon measure. Remember Liz Truss lasted laste

Literally: the C15 was based on the Visa (clearly, when you look at it!), and was the first platform-shared vehicle between Citroen and Peugeot where it was basically a Peugeot warmed over with some additional eccentricity. Not bad, overall

They aren’t predicting anything if the result is known a priori. Words matter - “prediction markets” just smooths over grift by making it sound reasonable.

It makes a difference in size, in how arguments tend to be handled, and so forth. As for why Pkl was in Java: it was originally built to configure apps written in Java, and heavily uses Truffle. Pkl is a name chosen for open sourcing, it ha

Yes - Go is both a simpler language than Java which does not lend itself to (nor does the ecosystem tolerate) the kind of architectural malpractice that enterprise Java typically becomes.

There are approximately no use cases that would get me to run a CLI written in Java on my machine, especially if it required having a JVM installed. There's just no reason for it. The rounding error there is Pkl, which is at least buil
