Happened to me in LAX international terminal. I’m with Verizon. So annoying. I was trying to figure out how I get connected to the crappy WiFi for an hour. Removed all the profiles and what not. Very disappointed by Apple on this one.

> $250,000 That’s insane! Do they give you an option to draw your own lines? Any chance you can apply for some subsidy? I really don’t know why in 2023 fiber internet is not treated the same as water or electricity..

Pick Italian. Beautiful language, lots of common words with most languages and I don’t think any non-EU countries use it. And if everything else fails, you start using your hands to communicate. Mid 40s here and wouldn’t mind at all to star

In which case the main problem an engineer is solving is how all these interact together. And not the X minutes that it takes to write each individual well defined tiny function. So, I still don’t get it.

Am I the only one that doesn’t get it? I tried GPT and it’s unable to write anything but the most simple code from simple requirements. As a tiny bit of complexity and it’s lost. Are people at work dealing with tiny code bases with well def
