Nope! I was shocked too, I grew up in a poor area that is borderline rural. Wealthy areas simply assume everyone have a car. The district only owns a small fleet of short buses, which are only offered if they assign your kids to a special

Not a rhetorical question, just curious: Suppose you have all your secrets encrypted with sops. That secret that validates your application's identity, that it needs to use to get or decrypt the secrets, like an AWS keypair or similar,

Is the intention that if there's going to be future DLC, you don't want to play the game at all yet? To me, it seems like there will probably be more units of DLC coming the more of a success the game is proving so far, and that i

good to know both parties apparently feel that “petty renaming of things” is a good use of time for the government. So we’ll just start every change in party control with a raft of renames to thumb our noses at “The Former Guy.” Productive.

It’s interesting how the “preserve traditional historical names - don’t change the names on things for political reasons” role flipped to the left when that particular person started renaming things. In this case especially - a body of wate

That’s a good one. Codecs are one of the few excusable reasons to me. It’s fair that we have ever-more strenuous codecs because obviously every new generation of them has better quality per byte. What’s inexcusable is just that every applic

I slightly agree, but it seems like I have to install a restart-required update for my Macs at least every two weeks nowadays. Which not only requires that full reboot sequence, but also 10 minutes of downtime waiting for what I assume is a

Am I the only one who doubts how thoroughly anyone's ever washed produce at home? Like, it's not like we're scrubbing every crevice of every leaf with soap. We're spraying some water on a whole pile of it, and then like

I think the point being made wasn't literally that cars are more important than food, but more that for most Americans, you can't really get by without store-bought food and a car. This is just fact. A few lucky people live in t

I've been trying for years (by example) to popularize using PT, MT, CT, ET. Since it's always after a number ("Are you avail at 4ET?") there has never been one instance of confusion, and I save typing and avoid the small

Honestly, Homebrew is so healthy[1], and modern Apple is so corrupted by greed, that I'm sure I don't want Apple to try to Sherlock it. Can you imagine? To get a package published, you'd need the developer subscription, and A

Agreed. I have skipped Tahoe and will update to Golden Gate when it's out of beta. I did the same complete skip on "Sonoma," I think. At this point, the complete absence of quality in MacOS releases has turned me from an &quo

Nice. I've also found, through that, kinto.sh which is apparently the equivalent for Windows. As a recent Mac-> Windows switcher for work, my productivity has nosedived partially for keybinding confusion. For instance, I instinctive

No, all those dialogs are there with Apple account sign-in as well. Maybe even more, since they might want to upsell you on something along the way (Can't remember, haven't bought a new phone in almost 3 years)

Curious about the choice of the Mac as a home server. I feel like an off-lease x86 usff pc, at roughly half the cost, would be more useful as a server. Pre-RAM-crisis you could get one with 32GB of RAM for like $240. My main home server is

I splurged for the 16GB version of this. Originally bought it for my spouse, and then replaced it with a refurbed M2 with 1TB of storage for reasons. So I took the "old" M1 Air. So far, can't come up with a reason to want to

That's why for that type of 'semi-white-label' thing, since the main risk is one of impersonating the platform owner (like the billing.my-thing.example) or possibly lending the credibility of "our" brand to some ran

It's just an odd choice on a page that's only about USA fuel prices. I wouldn't describe a 26% increase in any price as a ____ crisis. RAM and storage prices, now that's a crisis. I believe OP's earnest statement th

> "a Global Fuel Crisis" Does anyone else find this hyperbolic? Gas prices here in the US are up about 26% from their recent-past price -- it stayed in a very narrow range of about $3.20 for a year or two, and now is at $4.05.

Nah, I'm not really angry because I don't live in New York so it's not my problem. But no, I don't respect a politician who is demonstrably economically illiterate.
