NYC is absolutely seeing the same. Many people went to homes upstate and will not come back. Rents are falling even if some of it is masked with hidden rebates (no broker fee, free months). It is going to be starkest probably in San Francis

Very cool. I have been fascinated by this whole area of what I call “media stapling” since I spent about two years obsessively watching the Big Lebowski as a stress reliever. This film has no commentary track so people have recorded their o

Dumb question, if you really need the exact string “info” in a given context, why not hard code it? What does .lower() or even a map liked the linked one actually buy you?

Ghetto-izing code reuse in programming as “VendorOps” and associating it with the Peter Principle seems like a great way to discourage code reuse and reward people who would rather rewrite code unnecessarily than read someone else’s existin

You could argue about Apple's rights, or citizens' free speech rights, or consumer rights, under existing law. It would be an interesting discussion because I think it's a lot more complicated an issue that most people apprec

I predominately run Fedora when I use a laptop, along with Debian. I really have come to enjoy Fedora. I don't notice a ton of difference over Debian moment to moment, except perhaps you tend to have newer versions of things in the rep

Yup. The fact that it has been around for 46 years and dominant in its problem space for most of that time is pretty compelling too. In the 90s it was going to be replaced by object databases, said the hype. In the aughts it was up against

I just saw this last night and was going to add it. I agree totally with your take. This is available on the Criterion streaming service which has many other good movies. If OP signs up try also Night on Earth by Jim Jarmusch, a look at tra

The same argument is made by the Swedish ER doctor in the linked article: “Considering that 70% of those who have died of covid are over 80 years old, quite a few of those 6,000 would have died this year anyway. That makes covid a mere blip

The article is pretty clear about the dynamic you bring up. The first subhed is, “A Different Business Philosophy.” At the same time, there is a valid critique from this small business veteran. She points out that startup founders tend to h

The Linux priorities I outlined are fundamentally different. It’s a demand that the maker of the software alter the core of their business model. This is very different from asking for a native UI or to use a core OS API, etc. Again, it’s f

This comment is like a canonical example of why a company would choose not to develop for Linux. 1Password puts real resources and risk into supporting a platform that may not pay off, but it’s Not Good Enough for much of the community beca

As of a couple of years ago, last time I checked, macbook’s wifi stack was totally nonfunctional on Linux. Has that changed? Update: I see from your link it works on 2/8 tested. Better than nothing.

It may be typical but it is a useful counterpoint to the idea that markets are efficient for consumers. If markets “worked” as so much propaganda insists they do, banks would rush to increase interest rates, and gas stations to cut prices,

Blogger has been serving urls for something like 17 years. I’d wager its sites have something like 2x or more average url lifespan at this point than the typical site. What we want right now is more url stability not perfect assurance of

In the past, when data integrity issues emerged, btrfs devs have stated that it is not ready for production. Has there been an announcement to the contrary? If btrfs is production ready, is this clearly stated somewhere? Solaris has defaul

Any claim with a URI should also be treated with suspicion. There is plenty of reliable information locked away in offline books and government documents and all kinds of other non Google-able locations. This is true even for brand new in
