And yet Rider, using the same engine, is lightning fast and has been since the earliest alpha releases. If I were a conspiracy theorist, I’d say that Microsoft keeping VS 32 bit for so long in part to hobble ReSharper.

I wonder if Roombas are wide spread enough to cause outrage if they stopped working because the company went out of business?

The utter horse shit from Hue came at an opportune time: I was about to place a large order to replace all the can lights in my house with their Hue equivalents. That business is obviously lost to them - not so much for the feature, but for

This seems especially common in hotels. Two things that are guaranteed to make me switch rooms of switch hotels are shower heads that only make it to my chest, and anywhere with a shower curtain.

The existence of the YAML language for Pulumi and the CDK for TF both confound this explanation, it’s just not grounded in reality.

The point you're missing here is that in England (which the article is about), living in "the countryside" is not cheaper than living in a city in many cases, other than London - it's been more desirable to live in rur

£325000 in the UK. Less than the price of a one bedroom flat in London 15 years ago.

Houston is also an anomaly because there are no zoning laws to speak of, so if Houston wanted to do this (and it does in some areas!) it could.

The article is about England, not San Francisco and the assumptions do not hold about internet, school quality, rural areas being undesirable or much else really…

London is the absolute extreme for house price, but the south west is often incredibly bad for house price to average income ratio. Having said that there has been a definite case of “having cake and eating it too” from the boomer generatio

Could well be - any dresser certainly pops this up in the US - seemingly related to the campaign at [1] which came about after children were killed by tipping furniture. There's an equivalent campaign in the UK [2], but I haven't

I absolutely did not miss the point of the comment entirely, and responded to it fully, pointing out that distractions are just likely to happen in the office as at home, given the wrong set of coworkers.

I don't see why not - and notably they don't seem to attempt to ban other employees from having personal blogs or engaging in activism outside the workplace either.

Nothing is wrong with that - it's the issue of attempting to impose it on others which is objectionable.

That sounds like a self-discipline problem.

With the wrong demanding coworker or (especially) midwit middle manager who wants to talk about sportsball or politics, your entire company loses, not sure what your (rather sexist) point is tbh. Distractions happen. They come from lots of

Working remote need not be conflated with wanting to live in the suburbs. Indeed part of the reason I negotiated remote was because I live downtown, and the office is way out in the burbs.

I wouldn’t call 2.5% of the day (including night) nothing. 20 minutes is way past the upper bound of a daily commute I would consider reasonable!

Agreed it’s very good compared to the incredibly poor systems in most places, but suffers from the same attention problem as other systems - prompts in the middle of the scanning phase (usually the “I promise I’ll attach this to a wall) tha

What makes you think it wouldn’t be twice as fast, assuming the same number of items was being purchased? That certainly seemed to be the case at my local Whole Foods before Amazon ruined it.

This is especially naive given that the problems with the Horizon system started in 1999, when the Labour Party was in power, and extended to the end of the coalition government, in which a Liberal Democrat was postal minister and a Conserv
