According to Zillow, the median rent (for all property types) is $3,300 is San Francisco, but it is $3,400 in the neighboring San Mateo county, so yes, SF is indeed cheaper ;)

Did you see AAA777 to Las Vegas.

That's just a typo in the article, the actual flight number is AA777

30 years ago that was an option in Almaty (was extremely convenient for me, as we lived literally 2 block from there). You could check in, drop baggage, go through security and then ride on a bus directly to the plane. Same in Moscow, not sure about other cities (did not fly to other locations back then).

However, this was only partial solution, as it worked for departures only, not arrivals.

I strongly believe that "having the two fields get initialized to Environment.TickCount" is the correct fix and using unsigned arithmetic is just a workaround. If you save the time of some event in some field, you either need to initialize that field with current time, or have special processing of "value not set" everywhere it is used, otherwise you're almost guaranteed to have some hard to debug problem somewhere in the long run.

The table includes post-USSR chips too:

Newer devices from Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine are listed here if they are labelled according to the Soviet integrated circuit designation.

Only below 40mph

Only on specifically mapped freeways

Those two seem to contradict each other - there are no freeways in CA or NV where you can (safely) drive below 40mph

This is very unlikely, because Asiana 214 crash happens in broad daylight at 11:28am, so it could not possibly trigger a rule forbidding visual approach at night.

Consumer Report is an American organization and they only report on cars sold here, so no Renault (not sold in USA) nor European Golf in the list.

My understanding is that at Columbus time they did not measured sun / moon positions, but instead based their predictions on the eclipse cycles - if you have long enough record of past eclipses, you can notice that they are not random but the same timing sequence repeats after some time:

lack of scrollbars on macOS

Do you know that you can tell your Mac to "always show scroll bars" on System Settings -> Appearance page?

Anyway, while I tend to agree that Snow Leopard UI was the best and it went downhill since then, the latest macOS is still very usable and I do not suffer on Mac at all (unlike Windows 11, where I had to install a 3rd party app to at least partially revert what they did with UI)

Do you know that Gucci has on-line store, also available 24/7 from your living room?

Yeah, looking at English-Russian names for boys, there is no way for names like Brody and Orell being Russian!

It's not the background metric but the space geometry is assumed Euclidean - in non-Euclidean geometry the ratio of of the circumference of any circle to the diameter of that is not a constant, it depends on such diameter (so you simply cannot define 'pi' in that case)

Most animals prefer to work for their food—a behavior called contrafreeloading

Want about humans? are humans contrafreeloading animals or not?

You meant Titan, didn't you? - Triton is Neptune's moon ;)

Hmm... Looks like train signals (usually? always?) have colors in the opposite order indeed. Probably, parent comment did mean driving a train? ;)

Where do you live to have green light on top? I thought it was an international standard to always have red light on top, and this article claims the only exception exists in Syracuse, NY:

Nah, "1.1" is a valid IPv4 address (Cloudflare DNS) and it's shorter

This story is embedded into their novel "Жук в муравейнике" ("Beetle in the Anthill"), so it does not have a name, never being a separate short story.

The latest version of macOS Outlook (I have 16.64) can open EML files - for some reasons it cannot preview them, but opening works fine (although I vaguely remember that not working previously, not completely sure).

Using both Outlook and Mail on macOS, strongly prefer the latter, but our IT only allows Outlook for corporate emails :(

A lot of elevators in US do indeed have G for the ground floor, but that's because they are made by ThyssenKrupp AG, a German company ;).

Git has "reset" in addition to "revert" (the former mutates history but the latter does not). What Mercurial has for removing the wrong commit?

For amend option - well, we switched to Git at time of Mercurial 2.1 (I said it was long time ago), did not notice they added this feature, sorry.

It is kind of true, though. From Mercurial docs:

The public phase holds changesets that have been exchanged publicly. Changesets in the public phase are expected to remain in your repository history and are said to be _immutable_

Note that in Git all history is mutable, even if published.

Regarding 'backout' (and 'revert'), to the best of my knowledge, it does not revert commit, it creates a new one (reverting changes), and I frankly do not know is that's possible at all to amend commit in Mercurial (when I worked with it, that was definitely not possilbe, but that was a long time ago)

The ability to hit Win+Shift+S, screenshot a part of the screen, then immediately paste it somewhere? Huge. MacOS has nothing like this

Ctrl+Shift+Cmd+4 (default shortcut, you can change it to Cmd+Shift+S, if you wish)

No, because while macro can add the opening bracket for the block, it cannot add corresponding closing bracket.

Moreover, teams target audience is not people in HN.

Yep. I believe, the key in Microsoft success was Bill Gates realizing a simple truth:

- Users of office software are not those who decide to buy it, that's their manager who are.

From the very beginning, Microsoft product had all boxes checked, were very easy to install and to do trivial things with them. Being convenient to do some real work? Very low on priority list.

I believe, this statistic does not say anything about what language Arch packages are written in, but rather what languages Arch users really use for their work.

Cannot tell about all other languages, but it does hold up in Russian: широта (latitude) coming before долгота (longitude), 'i' before 'o'

It is not, in most of the world (including US and EU).

"Polygyny is legal in 58 out of nearly 200 sovereign states, the vast majority of them being Muslim-majority countries. Polyandry is illegal in virtually every country and strictly prohibited in Islam."

Probably, your search history made Google believe that you like alternatives more than the originals? ;)

Tried this search on Google myself, got clamav.net as the first link and alternativeto.net at #20
