Not sure. I've been in a few Ferraris and they all had regular stalks. It's possible that those buttons are not Jony Ive's doing, but I still find him insufferably pompous.

Unsurprising. Where I live, the Dodge Ram is the answer to the question "how can I signal to everyone else that I'm a piece of shit?" All the tradies around here are mostly driving Fords and Tacomas.

Buttons for turn signals. Yuck. God, Jony Ive is such an insufferable person.

Modifications to an approved type design, especially for commercial passenger aircraft, are an intensely bureaucratic and thus very expensive process. This is part of the reason why product cycles are long.

She's a former embedded firmware engineer, how much more technically inclined would you like her to be?

No I'm saying that concluding that she doesn't use FreeBSD simply because she doesn't use it on a laptop , especially considering how poor the laptop experience is, is stupid. I have three machines in my basement running fre

If TFA had been "it's time to build a new World Wide Web", I'd be on board. Most of the web is a dumpster fire and has been for a while. But there's lots of good stuff on the Internet that isn't the web or web

>while the old one continues to exist and is maintained under its new name "Hyphanet" Well, that name pretty much dooms the project to a slow death in obscurity.

This is more or less how I do it, too. Debating switching from Debian to something like Flatcar which is container-first with an immutable system/OS. I think FreeBSD has some interesting technical merits, but like it or not Docker is

Is it not obvious to you, particularly now that Trump has been elected twice, that laws are meaningless in the United States, unless you are poor?

Perhaps we should rewrite our culture in Rust.

Anyone who uses the construction "C/C++" doesn't write modern C++, and probably isn't very familiar with the recent revisions despite TFA's claims of writing it every day for decades. Far from being just "

Again: It comes with them on disk, but are they enabled by default ? If not, then they are not covered by their "default install" boast.

OpenBSD is absolutely a research OS and that's okay. My understanding is that Netflix used to use FreeBSD to serve video, but I read somewhere they're no longer using it. Not sure how true that is. Some game consoles like the Pla

It's not meaningfully more secure than e.g. Debian. Their claim to fame ("only two remote holes in the default install in X number of years") is definitionally only valid for the default install in its default configuration

I moved 5 times between 2015 and 2021 (air force), during which time I bought and sold houses at each move, have two kids in school, and I've never had to scan documents. They're all e-signature.

That's not "most consumer use cases". I have not once in my entire life had to scan 40 pages at once. I bet I've never done more than 15 at once. For the once in a blue moon that I need to scan 40 double-sided pages I&#

I'd be shocked if the Ring doorbells were materially more secure. I sit firmly in the "only smart device is my printer and I keep a loaded gun next to it in case it makes a weird noise" camp.

I have worked with lots of introverts and my empirical observation is that the introversion/extraversion axis is completely orthogonal to whether or not someone can be a team player.
