> £50. A similar flight in the US (DC to Miami, for example) would be easily 5x that, possibly 7-8x. ??? Maybe round-trip at a peak time. But if you're talking about one-way flights, you can fly across the entire country (NYC to SFO

There’s no reason they couldn’t have picked a different second-level suffix. Spanish-speaking countries use e.g. .gob.mx, France uses .gouv.fr.

Did you actually look at the diff, though? That’s the kind of change you make 10 times a day while working on frontend. It is a tiny change.

I think "people should just deal with uncomfortable situations" (while in a vehicle that they have no control over!) is not a winning argument, but the continuing march toward tech-enabled isolation is absolutely bad. It can be an

I can see the argument when it comes to locked-down mobile devices, but macOS is a general-purpose operating system with no restrictions on software sources that can't be easily disabled. Nearly every program available for Linux (excep

I imagine they'll try to get new users to sign up for a month of Premier to try Waymo early once it becomes available in their city. Basically juice a few thousand early adopters for 30 bucks each, which also lets them judge demand and

That’s simply incorrect. Most of the innovations in Modern Hebrew (relative to Biblical Hebrew) came in the Mishnaic period, early CE. Hebrew continued to be used as a liturgical language, and occasionally a business language, both in its B

No, there is no linguistic definition of a dialect. It’s a purely political term. Hindi and Urdu are “languages” despite being nearly identical in their spoken forms; Moroccan Arabic is a “dialect” even though Lebanese Arabic speakers can’t

(The comment I linked is by the executive director of the organization that runs Let’s Encrypt, and he seems to disagree.)

That may be how things work in some countries, but not in the US, even under Trump. Let’s Encrypt evidently didn’t mean to block all of Iran, only the Iranian government, which I assume is capable of getting its own certificates: https:&#x

It's pretty difficult for the US government to tell a nonprofit what to do.

Any actual evidence that the US government has control over ICANN? I know they used to have an agreement that gave the US some oversight, but as far as I know that ended a decade ago.

By "US-imposed" you presumably mean ICANN-imposed.

No we don't. There are lots of countries with software outsourcing industries, and contractors in any country can be good or bad. Would you rather have a top IIT graduate, or someone who took a year of programming classes at a communit

You can easily install bash or any other shell on macOS, and set it as your default with chsh, same as on any other *nix. (Also easy to make the harness use a non-login shell by aliasing it with a $SHELL override.)

Are you saying the ICC is the EU? Or that it's Greenland?

by rafram 4mo ago
You're being very vague. Please explain what you mean? I don't see anything here about the US "sanctioning a local company," and I'm not aware of that being possible under US law.

It depends on the gym and their business model! A super-budget gym like Planet Fitness that charges $15/month is going to lose money on heavy users, but they count on most of their members being infrequent gym-goers. A luxury gym like

It used to be a developer presentation. Now the main WWDC keynote is just another product-focused Apple event (since it might as well be one if the tech press is already flying out for it), and the more in-the-weeds developer talks are held
