Can't speak to the rest, but lumber has had significant import tariffs to the US for decades. So it doesn't seem as if relative affordability of that commodity is an issue (at leas…

I see a lot of posts to this site being 'dead'. I'm not even sure what 'dead' means (I assume it's more than "voted not interesting", which I find in itself interesting since I fin…

Hmm. From the footer of the post: >>> I'm Kyla Lee, a DUI lawyer in Vancouver. I spend my days fighting impaired driving charges, roadside prohibitions, and the ever-expanding powe…

If you google "farmer name activist" the results light up like a christmas tree. (Where the actual name is substituted in, of course.) Regardless of the merits of the actual issue …

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47784061 Not his first rodeo, it seems.

This popped up on a casual search: https://medium.com/@antonellosemeraro/technical-debt-is-not-... (paywalled, looks like a decent and recent writeup from what I can see of it, and…

If you google "Darren Blanchard activist", the screen lights up, TV, newspapers, etc. So, not his first time on the dance floor. I'm not going to address whether what happened was …

See my prior comment: IMO it's the caller's issue that (guaranteed) TCE is needed. The callee should not have to do anything. One of the things I forget to give thanks to the Rust …

As a user of the feature, it's the caller that needs the guaranteed elimination (and, presumably, is willing to pay for it, in syntax / compile time / run time / cognitive load). T…

I won't argue with wikipedia, but assuming it's correct the 'standard nomenclature' seems sloppy to me. The whole point of the original post was taking advantage of the guarantee o…

Recent enough... also, since it's not yet in stable, it'll be 'recent'/'new' for a lot of people once it does get there.

Interesting.... Article does not seem to mention whether the bus pulls into the secured area (so that you don't have to go through the security stuff again). The smaller airport is…

Agreed, but: JRandomCustomer enters street-number, apt-number, city, state, code ... in that order. Also, many websites seem to have a negotiation with the browser, where, given: a…

Seems like the answer is: What will you pay me for a day of my time? At this point, they've already invested their resources (and also you, yours). If employed, then it's easy to p…

I'm really disappointed in patio11 over this one (and I reckon he has a lot of good things to say). This is going back on other posts (in particular, this one: https://www.bitsabou…

There's another comment that points out that a g-le search will pick up few false positives (disclaimer, have not tried myself). So the initial 'WTF' gives way to 'well, ok, I see …

Yep. Just did a reimage update to Fedora 43, got errors about 'ptyxis' in some shell scripts. Wat (wipes desk and keyboard)? Oh, it's the graphical terminal program (alternative to…

Seems like extortion. The public display business has tanked (sorry), so now it's either send them to China, euthanize them, or ask the public purse to subsidize care of the animal…

That doesn't solve the problem of where to put it in the long term.
