If something like this is financially viable (doubt) then it sounds like the density already exists and the problem is the restaurants aren't near the people. All the replies are f…

Probably quite circular too, the labor costs are high because the housing/COL was allowed to become so high.

Flight booking systems still seem to be stuck with it, even newer fields like email are always in all caps.

Mine was around then too, mostly because the geocities page builder applet was such a dog.

A more charitable interpretation might be that getting under the cut off is why it's one of the first treatments available. More treatments will become available as the overall cos…

> yet we tend to only hear about how humans need to cut back There's also financial reasons to do so, with livestock the financial reasons are likely reversed. Beside that, anti-bi…

> It's got to be way easier to hire Angular developers than it is to hire someone who wants to eek out the maximum performance with this lightest-weight approach. I disagree, at le…

It seems endemic, especially everywhere that's not a product company. I think it was mythical man month (maybe earlier) that pointed out the 90% of the cost of software is in maint…

If nothing loads nothing gets cached and you can get in a cycle of very slow 404s. The current abomination I'm working on avoids this by caching the errors and serving them for sev…

Hiring a car for specific trips is probably much better, depending on the % of those use cases. That goes for other factors like towing capacity too. Cars are already very expensiv…

Depends on what "taking off" means for the start up too. Taking off at a mass consumer scale might need that flexibility, taking off and even getting to market saturation in a spec…

Almost 20 years ago we had to write our own database with indexing for a software dev class. It was crap by every definition possible But that learning experience and having a roug…

> If you want to fire people for performance or other reasons, it's true that a great time to do it is during layoffs That really depends on the jurisdiction, in Australia and mich…

I've been through all the ups and downs around Ubuntu and gnome, but at least those changes generally happen at a time of my choosing too. I don't go to a commonly used app one day…

Nowadays we shouldn't be allowing cats to be outside unsupervised in any case, they can be devastating to local wildlife, including these clever cockatoos.

I deal with so many over complicated enterprise solutions that would be much better with this level of abstraction. CGI scripts are basically FaaS on your own machines.

Nothing goes through decades of testing, they go through human trials and then monitor safety at a mass scale for a year or two and then they're done. Same as with the covid vaccin…

> Fraudulent charges can be reversed immediately This isn't really a benefit, it's a fix to a problem caused by credit cards that doesn't happen at all (or at least rarely) with de…

I like the polish of manjaro, I just prefer the stability of debian. Polish doesn't mean much when a rolling release breaks your computer.

People have also switched to larger and more expensive vehicles in addition to these mandatory costs, so I'd say the mandatory costs are mostly a non-issue, otherwise we'd be seein…

Won't this be flat out wrong when something you're joining to has a condition in the where clause? Something like this: select * from Car inner join Color on Car.ColorId = Color.Id…

Better yet, put it in a .rec file for the best of both worlds: https://www.gnu.org/software/recutils/

It's a consequence of having our software run on other peoples computers. 20 years ago it wasn't really an option because most software was installed and pushing updates was hard, …

I like an SPA pile on as much as the next person, but I've seen similar ignorance from asp.net webform developers many years ago. Some of those were even "experienced" developers.
