It's not totally clear to me, but it is telling that the union members specifically say boeing needs to "stop breaking the law" and that the rejected deal included an allegedly large pay increase. 96% turning that down doesn&

> If a Chinese company did this, the company would be cancelled. It's worth noting that this is the first time I've ever heard of this company in my life. Something can't be "cancelled" if it has no mind share.

I tried asking an LLM for assistance with Chef Policyfiles today (more specific than that of course), and the response was as if it was for a non-existent product rather than Chef. It even included a code block that it claimed I could run o

"Select every tile with motorcycles", shows an image of a single motorcycle parked on the street. Does the sliver of a tire that shows up in the bottom right tile count, or not? This is never clear, and I end up usually getting it

I don't recall that there was ever anything inherently wrong with using tables for layout, except that it was a misuse of tables so we were told it wasn't "semantic". Thus you had years of people asking on forums how to

Really cool idea! I didn't get very far though, as the precarious pathway slowed to a complete crawl with heavy input lag, so I couldn't make any of the jumps (Firefox on an M1 MBP)

On a technical level that's true. But the actual intention here is "places where you can see the sky", not places with low light pollution. Air quality is highly seasonal, and winter tends to have far clearer skies for assort

This is the impression I've gotten from my gay male friends as well. One in particular seems to get better luck from going to small-medium themed events that are thin excuses for meeting potential partners.

On the contrary... Musk gets criticism for the things he does do, not the things he doesn't do. It's pretty rare I see any acknowledgement, especially in the media, of how little he has personally accomplished with Tesla or Spac

I think I last used eclipse about 5 years ago, when I switched to VSCode. At the time, eclipse still felt like 2008 software, extremely sluggish and clunky. In particular, it really suffered taking advantage of multiple monitors. What'

Semi-related, it's wild how much FM transmitters have improved since the early aughts. I drive a vehicle from 2005 without a tape deck or aux jack, so I picked up a cheap one that receives a bluetooth signal (from my phone), then bridg

There's also microphones and cameras that can act as inputs, it just turns out they don't offer much power over kb/m. But really, the problem being solved by OP was not enough outputs, rather than not enough inputs.

A high yield savings with Discover has a 4.3% APY right now. That's higher than both the mortgage I took out in 2016 and the loan I took out a few years later for new windows on said house. Not 7%, but also way better than cash.

For me personally, the number row is far enough away from the home row that my fingers become inaccurate. It's not unlikely that when I reach for 7 I'll hit 6 instead. That's easy enough to correct in normal operation, less s
