this revolutionary microwave will cook a fish in ice while simultaneously draining your wallet to completion.

duuuuuuuude…

i mean, i thought dos2 was amazing. bg3 seems like a great refinement of the gameplay.

but it’s the same style, with similar pacing, and similar mechanics.

so, if dos2 wasn’t your thing i’m not sure this will be.

this looks so, so useful

yeah, it really puts my god awful pile of terraform in perspective.

go on a long hike or bike ride in fully synthetic garb—you will absolutely reek by the time you get to your car.

if you’re talking a 1 hour workout, then i agree.

the bummer is that synthetic materials are so comfortable to wear during exercise compared to cotton and so easy to care for compared to merino wool.

i just accept it and smell like my body has been turned inside out after long exertions.

my (similarly uninformed) opinion is… similar. the industry is so regulated and unsexy that it doesn’t attracted the thought leaders and technical talent necessary to created modern, inoovative systems. instead you get more verbose epic garbage. i could be totally wrong, but i always assumed it’s related to the sexiness-quotient of the field.

oregonian here.

full service in this context just means some gruff gentleman pumps your gas. getting your windows washed or oil checked is all but non-existent. so no, i don’t think there is any appeal for tourists. it’s an inferior experience.

gas stations are extremely understaffed these days, to the point where it’s rare at some stations for all the pumps to even be open. cars queue at popular stations while two employees man a dozen pumps. it can be agonizingly slow and frustrating.

i’ve read and heard a lot of pushback on self serve and i don’t get it. iirc stations are still required to offer full service on a portion of the pumps, so folks who don’t want to pump still won’t have to.

edit: all of this is of course my anecdotal experience from the willamette valley area.

this drastically depends on where you live and what the restaurant scene is like. you’re describing corporate chain restaurants.

cities with food scenes still exist.

i mean, sure... but lets ignore whatever malware project you were working on. :)

lot of businesses live or die on the trust of their customers. don't they? arc's product is aimed at power users. surely if they were collecting telemetry and then trying to hide the fact they were transmitting it would be a critical blow when discovered.

so while i totally agree that they _could_ operate like that, in most cases there is very little to be gained and a lot to be lost by being intentionally deceptive.

so this will kind of diverge on what we consider as "proof", but i don't think that the software would need to be permanently monitored for a reasonable assurance.

the bar for proof would certainly vary though.

this is an overly cynical take. headlines are brief by necessity. nobody would read that and think that a curved line from A to B is shorter than a straight line between the same points.

the first paragraph explains it,

these wavy walls actually use less bricks than a straight wall because they can be made just one brick thin, while a straight wall—without buttresses—would easily topple over

i’ve tried arc a couple times and never got to the “aha!” moment. in a lot of ways arc reminds me of software from the early 2000’s that tried to do everything.

i think they’re doing some interesting stuff, but i just couldn’t find features or workflows that were safari-killers for me.

yes, but you can analyze the traffic from the app if you cared too. the point is that you absolutely can verify their claims.

practically speaking, you’re right—but something doesn’t have to be practical to be enjoyable or interesting to work on. lots of people try lots of wild things.

why does anyone build anything?

yeah, really lame response.

it’s more that i don’t believe it’s a real scenario.

good luck reading 10k lines of shell written decades ago. it would likely be an incredible waste of time.

right? that whole bit reads like some lame parable. like who in there right mind is going to run a 10k line shell script named DISASTER they’ve never read and cannot read because it’s 10k lines of shell? there is apparently no documentation (and positively no tests)? one guy close to retirement remembers what it’s for and says “don’t delete this critical but of code!”

it’s just utter bullshit.

it’s obviously half-decent enough for most folks. /shrug

haha, I was confused for a minute reading this post thinking the same thing.

these are such weird philosophical stances. just do the thing that makes sense to you or makes sense for your use and move on. there is not a strictly correct choice.

yes, but we’re talking about video gamers who aren’t ruled by logic or reason. they’ll endlessly bitch about this and then rush to preorder the next thing.

why on earth does my phone need 24gb of ram?

ah, theo, a knob till the end.

Others predicted that the city would look like a bland concrete jungle with the ads removed.

lol. only advertising folks are going to pitch ads are a that make a city beautiful.

100%. Of 7 games I played, 4 were bots and only once did a bot not use strictly correct capitalization and punctuation.

this is great! i’ve been messing around with learning common lisp lately and setting up a good dev env was harder than expected.

Use Emacs

Emacs is a very powerful and extensible editor. It comes with over 10,000 built-in commands.

this cracks me up. i know lots of people love emacs, but who hears “10k commands” and goes, “wow, perfect”

exactly, starred ratings are weird for both the passenger and driver

..but they’re also fast to leave and well understood which i’m sure is why they’re used. if you started asking questions instead folks will stop providing feedback. maybe they could incentivize the behaviors through small credits for future rides or something.

no, a makefile with a docker build task acts as a reference for how to build the image. that’s my point.

_any_ repo has clues about the toolchain encoded in the file types and extensions, but that’s not the same thing.

and yes, npm or yarn can define scripts which can have the same documentation benefits. but there’s lots of others too that are specifically for tasks. i really like https://taskfile.dev.

these files can communicate how to work in a project.

i know this goes down the rabbit hole, but i think every project benefits from a makefile or other taskrunner file. even if a project is a simple “docker build ...” having done task makes it really easy to see
