Windows have always been trash. Windows 9x were the worse.
Windows NT was better, Windows XP was trash at release then got better with updates (the service packs).
Windows Vista was a shitshow, then 7 was better. Windows 8 was horrible, the 10 was a bit better.
Windows always oscillates between trash and acceptable. There is not much to “ruin” to be honest.
No matter how they package it, running a binary downloaded from Internet has the same attack surface
There is no emergency that can’t be handled by the adults of the school.
I can understand needing a phone for the commute, but at school it should stay in the bag turned off.
The population in rural areas is so low that no matter how you induce demand, it won’t work.
Obviously if the pods take 2h to arrive it’s not worth it
OK, it’s 2pm. With this system, you call a pod and ride it. With a rural train, you check the schedule and see that the next train is at 5pm. And you have to plan your trip back as well. Great, time to take your car.
And you might say “let’s have trains run at least once per hour then”. That means running empty trains all day, not sure it’s the best way to spend public money.
Trains suck if you don’t have frequency, and because of the population density with a good frequency more than half of the trains will be completely empty and the rest almost empty.
Yes, autocorrect messed it up
Oh it’s the continuation of XMMS, I have found memory of using that!
Reading the article, it’s not the content that caused the ban but sharing it to too many people (her beta readers) she was seen as a spammer.
To be honest it has always been this way. Especially when we were talking about “Free Software”, and open source was in part a way that it was free as in freedom, not free as in doesn’t cost anything.
Of course the term open source didn’t change anything, because if you look at the definition of open source, you’re allowed to share it so obviously you’ll be able to get a copy for free.
And uesst what, not having to pay is such a big difference that’s what people remember.
I mean if you want to live off your work, then of course you’re a business.
Or if you want to get money without all the fundraising hassle, get a salaried job.
Basically you want to work in open source on whatever you want, not have to listen to users, not have to find funds, and still be paid for it?
In his video, he shows that the more common answers are actually 42 and 69.
I discards them because they’re picked for a reason rather than a human genuinely trying trying to pick a random number, but they’re still way more common than 37.
The point is that saying “pull requests welcome” is still work for the maintainer, because now you have to have these discussions with potential contributors, sometimes explain them why you don’t want to maintain the feature, or explain them why this PR is not the way you want…
So either way it’s work, it’s important to keep in mind before saying “just send a PR”.
The problem is when people then open huge PRs and expect you to take time to review them, then eventually merge them.
Especially when it’s something you don’t want in your codebase because it introduce a big unnecessary “refactoring” or a feature that you don’t want to have to maintain forever.
The piece of paper you’re talking about is useful to exchange goods.
The cryptographic token is not because it’s too volatile and transactions are costly.
There is a reason the only things using Bitcoin as an actual currency are illegal things, buying credit card numbers or paying for ransomware.
You can argue that owning a piece of a company who generates value is not the same thing as owning some useless cryptographic token.
Enterprise can afford more than individuals and all businesses always find a way to make enterprise customers pay more.
For example when you buy a plane ticket, it’s much cheaper if you have a weekend between your onward and outward trip. Because business travelers will travel during the week.
Only savages piss straight to the water
Is there any electronics made only for the UK? What for example?
