The issue I have more often is that APT repos generally are just named "jammy" or such, and then you have to remember which release that was.

I'm also curious how much it is because Apple is primarily a hardware company, and over-leveraged in laptops vs. desktops in the modern era. Apple as an OS vendor probably wants to be a good OS for everyone. Apple as a hardware vendor

Pretty sure some of that is because of Apple's enforced code signing? I had some games that used to run on OS X, but later added content/patches/expansions just never came to OS X because the devs didn't want to bother j

It reminds me of the standup bit where no escalator should ever be "out of order". It should just say "escalator temporarily stairs". I've got some smart lights, but worst case, they still have a lightswitch that wo

It's the conflation of "anti-capitalism" and socialism. A lot of people in the US these days seem more anti-capitalist than proactively anything.

I've certainly been on teams that are on the other side of this - we're staffed fairly low, and sensitive to toil work because of it, and thus end up pushing things to some other teams to try to help them reduce our toil. Those te

I'm assuming that the OP is posting the question in good faith - Musk on the other hand has a track record of disclosing private information for fun/retaliation, whether or not it's legal for him to do so. "Assume good f

You really think he wouldn't disclose it publicly if he thought it benefited him/for the lulz? He's exactly the kind of person who would just get the papers and publish them immediately.

Really? I did plenty of pushing into high-tier rifts solo in D3. It's definitely more stable and reliable with multiple people, but I did plenty of grinding solo and have a good time.

Sure, but fault aside, you still just got into a highway-speed car accident. I don't get to decide if the person behind me is a reckless driver or not and "but the law says it's not my fault" doesn't do away with an

Ah fair. I mostly meant that in the sense that, Tesco is closer to Walmart's "we sell everything" offering. Your second link was talking about the largest grocer in Europe having 1300 stores across 8 countries, which is about

For sure. I just hear the "I went to the US and there was no REAL bread to be found" and I'm always a little confused. Even the local grocer in my fairly poor neighborhood growing up had a section of bread loaves in various s

by noirbot 4y ago
That's all going to depend on where you are. Bread seems like a big division - shelf-stable bread is a lot less of a thing in Europe, likely because of a longer tradition of bakers. If you're in a major US city though, I've n

Yea, that seems totally bunk outside of double or single-digit store companies. Even the regional US chains like Publix or HEB or Fred Meyer are as large as many EU chains outside of Tesco, which may as well be the Walmart of Europe. I&#x27

Is that true? I feel like most of the stuff I see in stores in the US is from the US or Mexico. Maybe South America to deal with seasonal changes.

I'm not trying to say that at all. What I'm saying is that we're at an awkward time now, where this sort of quick AI-assisted breaking is especially dangerous because fallible humans are most of the rest of the drivers on the

by noirbot 4y ago
The question isn't who's legally liable. The question is are you doing things more unsafely than you need to be. You don't have to be legally at fault to be doing something that's unsafe for other drivers to deal with. S

by noirbot 4y ago
Sure, but if you're doing it far later than a human would have done it, then you're really screwing with the person behind you who isn't an AI with instant response times.

I guess the question is how much of that stuff could they cut back if they needed to. There's a lot of expenses in my life I could easily cut back if I lost my job or had some other expense come up. If part of your paycheck-to-paycheck

And the real value of it is that within "success" there's ranges. The real victory for me is if I can get Wordle in less than 4 guesses, since that's about how fast one can do it with optimal play. I don't really us

What you've described is most business travelers, which is essentially what keeps most of the airline and hotel industry alive, as I understand it.

That assumes the app supports on-phone payment options like that. Obviously it's gotten more ubiquitous now, but most of the non-Uber/Lyft apps I've used in the past didn't. They often will require me to make a full acco

It kinda is a big feature though. I'd imagine people who need a rideshare service are over-represented in people who travel a lot for either business or pleasure, and likely do so to multiple random cities. I remember traveling to a ci

by noirbot 4y ago
Sure, but they solve different needs. If I'm in a random location and need a car now? Easier to use Uber/Lyft. If I know I'm going to need to be picked up after a concert when surge pricing is going to be brutal? Much easier

The issue is that, while there's certainly reason to be worried about something like China's system, there's always going to some amount of ad-hoc or official systems of trust. Criminal background checks, sex offender registr

This seems very optimistic about the likelihood of a "community" to vet itself properly vs. covering things up "for the good of the community". Obviously it can work out, but there's bountiful examples of communitie

I'm not sure that's true. Almost every rideshare I've gotten in the last few years outside of an airport pickup has been in motion when they got assigned to me, and usually already on another ride. Even many of my airport rid

Austin had that for a while when they went and banned Uber/Lyft. They were... ok? The issue ends up being that it's hard to be a one-city service that's mostly used by people who don't live in the city. If I arrive in a

Sure, but range and timeline to refill that range are intimately linked. You can think of it as "time spend refueling per mile driven". My current ICE car, I spend maybe 5 minutes refueling every 300 miles. Looking at the spec for
