What happens if there's some other reason to brake, such as an unreported fallen tree on the line ahead?

Only in the plural form though, right? I'm in the UK, where the usage you describe is common too, but reading "this guy" like in the comment above, I would assume they're talking a…

Understandable, thanks for the links.

I think they're maybe alluding the fact that if you have a backup system which fails when you need to use it (e.g. your Time Machine backup turns out to be corrupted, which quite a…

It looks great but I suppose the downside, like a lot of nice native Mac apps, is that it seems to be Mac-only. So if you also want to back up non-Mac systems (e.g. to make off-sit…

Would you be able to share those scripts? Or if not, an obfuscated/abstracted version of them? I use brew but even with brew and brew cask, I find there's plenty of GUI apps that r…

Then why not just shut down their public API?

Ultimately they're making planes for the airlines to buy though. If the airlines say they'd rather fit in 300 people by making most of the rows cramped together than 250 people wit…

I don't think that's true. Pretty sure the 707 and 727 were launched and in service before the 747 even started development. The 737 was certainly in development as well, and was i…

Indeed. I find it fascinating that the widespread modern generations of the 737 still have largely (or maybe entirely?) the same fuselage design as the now-ancient 707.

Going to museums like that is honestly one of the main reasons I'd like to visit the US. Unfortunately though, even just the biggest ones seem to be way too spread out to attempt i…

I think a big part of it would broadly fall under "legal and privacy concerns", especially since Apple Silicon is proprietary hardware. They need to work out which details about th…

Some (not all) of these strike me as not applying to all of the West, but being very American.

There's zero chance they are living alone anywhere in London for £600, let alone zone 2.

Yeah, I worked with TomTom a while back and you are correct, it was an acronym that was commonly used internally, but at least the people I was working with knew that nobody outsid…

This is weird, because I thought that Chrome (at least semi-recently, perhaps not in the earliest days) was infamous for hogging RAM. I use Firefox and can't say that I've thought …

It does, but I found it to drain a lot of battery on mobile (iOS). I'd say that for a simple setup you're likely to be accessing your services via their LAN IPs or their TailScale …

Deepak Chopra is a prominent and controversial figure in "wellness" and "alternative medicine", promoting "quantum healing" and claiming that it can cure cancer and so on. It's wid…

I think they are saying that even the non-pro M1 machines are significantly better than the previous pro models.

Yeah, that bit made no sense to me. I'm not familiar with the location but clearly it's rural and only accessible by car. They also were living in Vancouver which sounds quite far …

I definitely agree that the second issue is tricky to get right. But for your first point, that wouldn't seem to make much sense given the time investment from the company as well.…

It's not great in Python from my experience. Much worse than PyCharm, at least.

It's been a little while since I've worked with C++ professionally, but the project was cross platform so I'm not sure Windows and Visual Studio was ever a feasible option. Most of…

There are some things mentioned in "Supporting readings" from that site. I can't vouch for them, but perhaps they're of interest: https://www.copetti.org/writings/consoles/material…
