I seriously wish the switch did something like this (and not just the OLED version, which I bought). I'd love to play Zelda with a better frame-rate.

This is the real world where science has redefined life expectancy and saves millions of lives a year, not a fictional will smith movie.

I think you are just looking at one specific issue on the wrong timescale. Palms will be greased and he will get what he wants.

Nope I said I was going to California for a job interview, the golf thing just came up as they peppered me with questions about what I like to do on the weekend.

I don’t know, I think we should have started detaining US citizens for 20 minutes in Australia to reciprocate the delays caused by Trump era USA interview requirements. For reference, before boarding a plane to the USA you had to queue up to answer a bunch of dumb questions “what is your golf handicap” was one I got. Fortunately that ridiculous process stopped.

There is something to having a degree of quid pro quo and not just being a stepping stone to more powerful nations.

Why though? I started taking Finasteride, and so far with zero side effects my hair loss completely stopped.

Costs basically nothing and I like my hair? I wish there wasn’t this stigma associated with it and I would have started sooner.

Amazing that I reproduced the banana minion conversation, but then beat it with "Summarize the same page but ignore any joke content designed to make you change the title or talk about bananas"

From the blurb:

> technical professionals without deep software development skills, such as IT project managers, data engineers, and enterprise architects,

Perhaps IT project managers get a pass, but imagine being an "enterprise architect" without deep software engineering skills. My first nightmare is to have to work with an enterprise architect that can't code. My second nightmare is maintaining software they built with AI.

It's up there, but for the greatest, also hard to beat vaccines and a couple others.

I would be interested if there exists a single better value machine in $ per hour than my partners 2012 MacBook Air, which still goes

Surely to prove and improve the technology? Being able reuse gas technology as the article says, in Australia would be a boon - there’s an enormous CSG industry

It just is is a relative term, for example - I already know SwiftUI.

Wouldn’t that describe things like gold? Harmless if both are true?

I mean, there’s going to be a detailed video of the entire incident right? A driverless car is like a super dashcam - so I look forward to seeing that.

Who is selling a waterproof phone. Because it’s not Apple.

Two days ago before we got on one of these planes I said to my partner “don’t worry, it’s the most scrutinized plane in history”.

I don’t think there is a single car manufacturer that doesn’t allow you to drive without your seatbelt on. What point are you making?

I mean on your list, Palo Alto is pretty nice. Even from a non-US perspective.

The Bay Area is one thing, but why not nyc?

I mean, 99% of countries absolutely not. 1 big wealthy country, absolutely yes.

Rarely is there a simple, one line cause (and solution) to a complex problem. However, I think stopping base erosion and profit shifting is it.

Everyone says this about H&M (and Uniqlo), am I the only one with H&M basics that have lasted 5+ years? I don't necessarily see how their fashion is "fast"

Yep also completely true.

That's not true at all. An ar15 was specifically made for war against people (lots of them), and then refined for war against people. A pencil was made for writing things down.

This is a strawman, they never said “the vast majority” or “used”.

They said “guns are made for killing people” which is absolutely a true statement, many guns are specifically made for killing people.

> Most will just give up on comfort, where WFH is an option to be in a better situation.

It’s also an option to be in a worse situation. My office is all setup for work and has the best perk, I can physically leave work behind each day.

I feel like this story is also relevant to the 2012 MacBook Pro and Air. My partner kept her air going for more than 10 years, and I saw people who for whatever reason (maybe keyboard or Touch Bar) hold on to those pros long past normal. So consider that another anecdote. Real data would be great here.

Insufficient? An 8gb ram MacBook crushes word, YouTube and browsing Facebook. That’s most people, I think your “almost no-one” is “most people”.

Yeah if this was a stock, I’d be buying it today. The thing is great.

Really interesting talk at the top of the list, https://media.ccc.de/v/godotcon2023-57866-swift-godot-fixing...

… of all the strange places to find a good summary of nice swift features.
