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 focused on the density you mentioned but mixed use is pr

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 costs start beating out the costs of living with $disease.

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 maintenance, yet 50 years on this cost isn't accounted

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 several hours...

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 expensive for something with such a low utilisation rate.

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 specific B2B might be achievable on a raspberry pi lev

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 to do something quick only to find the entire UI

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 vaccines.

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 seeing people cut costs elsewhere. https://w

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 where Color.Name = 'Red' You

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, but now everything can be updated without the user

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.

I have a recent Nokia that has all of the above. Except for maybe the "high quality" part, I'm not sure if the phone or aging headphones are to blame there. But the battery is a monster, though not replaceable. There seem to

The probably is we've coupled the gui and the service, the people making the UI have a monopoly and no reason to improve. Same goes for spotify, audible and just about every streaming provider these days.
