Does AMD not support Display Port? I'm not an expert on this, but that sounds to me like the superior technology.

Or just stick to regular sims. They're very reliable, esims are not. I don't really see the case for eSims. In theory they could save a bit of time: activating immediately upon ordering your subscription online, instead of waiting

Thanks, but that's not the issue here.

It's a different medium, and it's intentional. And not even new either. The Singing Detective, Karaoke and Cold Lazarus did the same thing decades ago. Apparently they were successful enough that everybody does it now.

Never had conflicts on a merge? We've got a lot of people on the same codebase. Merge conflicts are a fact of life. And they wouldn't be a problem without the stupid commit hook. It's the commit hook that makes them a problem

I have. Mali didn't have trains at all. Our Indonesian train was on time. It's not like countries outside Europe can't make trains run on time. Japan's are even more punctual than Switzerland's.

Lame excuse. There has to be a better alternative than to take them an hour in the wrong direction. Stop and shunt to the right track. Stop at one of those other 15 stations they skipped. But the best would be to simply avoid these kind of

I find this figure absolutely baffling. How can you run a train system with half of all trains being late?

Then split your network into segments you can handle. Switzerland receives lots of international trains. Not only that; it has a lot of rail companies, serves even tiny villages, and has the highest use per capita in Europe. Size of the net

I disagree. Swiss trains are a delight. They even have trains going up mountains (although some of those cost extra). Public transit in Switzerland was extremely reliable when I was there, and also according to official statistics.

I thought they already rejected delayed trains. Trains that are on time are still allowed. But I'd love to see Switzerland take over some of those international connections.

I was once in a train that announced Schiphol in 5 languages. That's how you announce an international airport.

Dutch trains aren't as perfect as the Swiss, but still far, far, better than German trains. I think it was about 20 years ago when NS was ridiculed because of nonsense delays caused by leaves on the track (who would possibly expect tha

Swiss trains are always on time. I've heard they've start to refuse delayed German trains entry to the country because their delays disrupt the system too much. The Swiss train system is excellent. The German train system is a jok

I think they look stupider by not saying anything. They look stupid by all of these constant delays, cancellations, and the occasional utterly surreal self-inflicted problem like in the article. That's what makes them look stupid. Just

There's a weird thing happening on my current project. Sometimes I merge main into my branch and it fails. What fails is the pre-commit hook on the merge commit. Changes in main fail the linting checks in the pre-commit hook. But they

The guy who can't raise a kid without AI? I wouldn't trust his opinion on things like this.

I hate the time unpredictability of it. Intellij also has AI completion suggestions, and sometimes they're really useful. But sometimes when I expect them, they don't come. Or they briefly flash and then disappear. What would be n

The US has always had some fascist tendencies, but it's absolutely become a lot more fascist under Trump. The censorship, the expansion of cruelty, the policy of lies, the teardown of the rule of law and democratic institutions (though

That is really awesome. Thanks! And not just for me; now I might also be able to get my kids to design stuff to print.

There's a tutorial? Maybe I should have started there. I recently started messing around with OpenSCAD too. I found these boxes that are great for storing the tiles for various 18xx railroad boardgames: https://www.printable

AI has also been around for quite a while. LLMs are hardly the first instance of AI we've seen, just the one that's suddenly getting all the hype. But yes, people trust it too much.

There are a ton of Firefox forks, especially in order to keep Firefox but without these sort of shenanigans. The only problem is: what's the difference between the forks, and which is the best? I have no idea.

I get more of a BBC Micro vibe from this than an Amiga one. It's the red keys, probably. Either way, I love the aesthetic, but I have no idea what I should actually do with it.

I'm working on a graph representation of complex data flows through a large organisation. The graph looks like crap, partially because hierarchical dagee graph layout algorithms apply a naive way of removing cycles that ruins the shape

You don't care that massive unaccountable corporations control all our data, devices and connectivity, and can lock us out of all of that on a whim or accidentally, and refuse to fix the problem? This could happen to anyone. It can hap

Yeah, but then what do you need the AI for? It's programming it myself that helps me understand all the intricacies of the problem. That's exactly the part that gets cut off by outsourcing it to AI. The AI is not a "world cla

I'm currently trying to get Claude Sonnet 4.5 to produce a graph rendering algorithm, and while it's producing results, they're not the right results. I should probably do this myself and let the AI handle just the boilerplat
