I wonder how the cost compares to a love hotel?

I'd prefer to see something like Matrera Castle. For architecture I find it a bit much, probably because it needs to be structurally sound, but for a skeleton or an antique it could bring more attention to the real parts and still offer a suggestion of what it might look like.

I just have to disagree. A car company can and should expect the users to read the manual. If you only use what's visible in the driver's seat, you'll never find the sump plug, service plan, tyre spec, engine bay...

The alternative is worse ergonomics for people who do read it to give better discoverability to those who won't.

>“We continue to find evidence that the Neanderthals were not inferior primitives but were quite capable of doing things that have traditionally only been attributed to modern humans,” said co-author Paolo Villa, adjunct curator at the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History.

For that I blame the curators themselves. Whenever you go to a museum, the exhibits extrapolate far more than is reasonable from the thing they're actually displaying. And then they blend it in! Entire skeletons to glue together a few bones, leaving you unable to tell what's real - something pulled out of the ground where it's been resting for millions of years - and what's a historian's best guess. Thanks to that we still have exhibits of dinosaurs with bare skin.

Show me the real fossil, it's far more interesting.

>How often do you take the hands off the steering wheel to adjust the radio?

Far less often than taking a hand off to operate the gear lever or handbrake.

The manual or dealer? Most people aren't renting, I think it's fair to place function over discoverability in something you could spend years of your life operating.

There's a station near me that just opened. Pay at pump, pumps only on one side. 'Surely' I thought, as I pulled up, 'the hoses will reach the other side'.

They didn't. So I got out to move my hatchback car closer and angled so they would reach. I unhooked the pump and put it in my car.

But first it asked me to pay my bill of £0.

Invoke a slippery slope argument by name irritates me because the name comes from the slippery slope fallacy. It's poor faith debate because it's relies on the unfalsifiable notion that thing A will lead to slipping to thing B. Then you're just discussing feelings about how likely it is.

Yes, but it's not a custom Arm server board

I agree. If a bank has physical branches to fall back on, they can squander the online/phone story. This has happened with another bank I use which has a website with a broken account creation form and phone lines that just die.

For most banks, they might as well not have any branches as I can't get to them at a reasonable opening hour and they have no incentive to change that.

My phone has 6GB

My employer uses Ubuntu for most developers, meaning all our software is designed to work on the latest LTS Ubuntu and we (I assume) pay a significant amount for support. But the only reason we use Ubuntu is because it's more familiar to the average developer than RHEL.

Every Proton incompatibility I've faced so far has been something like this. e.g. it can't boot because the DRM doesn't work, or the paths don't resolve properly. If I can get to the options screen it's plain sailing.

Any ideas for 'trie'?

Editors can assume a level of RTFM that browsers will not. If it's not discoverable enough for someone unfamiliar, it won't make it in.

Firefox's implementation of this annoys me. If I'm trying to find a page I was on before, I sort history by date (obviously) and go back to around the time I was on it to start clicking.

...which drags the website I clicked on to the top of my history, changing its temporal position and making me have to find the time period I was looking at before, which now looks textually different.

And the use is what? Maybe it brought you joy, (a perception of) respect, or money? 2 of those come with sport and the last just brings the other 2.

Not Radiohead. A band who sell out the tours anyway.

The credit score that an agency sells to you won't change, but that's just a tool for them to sell you things like Amazon are selling here, and doesn't reflect the way a lender will look at the credit history, your salary, and the value of anything the loan is secured against to decide whether or not to lend to you.

>I am trying to explain them that cars are not growing on trees and producing a new one is not really that environment friendly and that during past 10 years cars were not improved so much in terms of CO2 emission to justify the change

If anyone else is wondering, I think you're right about this. I've looked into it and there are a few people who've tried to tackle the question of what's better but I find they all have some problem with the assumptions they make, largely because it's just a difficult problem with a lot of variables. Mileage, age of each vehicle, expected life of each vehicle, what emissions can be attributed to production, whether to include emissions of the inefficiencies of recycling one but not the other, etc.

I decided that a new eco-friendly car and a similar old used car were close enough in emissions - i.e. within the same magnitude - that it wasn't worth it if it's your only reason for spending the money on a new car. What's far more effective is reducing mileage done in a car.

>If the developer doesn't remember to do it when making changes, then the code reviewer can catch it and enforce it.

They can. Just after correcting all the buffer overflows and before fixing all the use-after-frees. Then the comments can be consumed by all the other teams with the discipline and culture to avoid writing bugs for all time.

IMO compatibility issues are the result of conflating a CLI with a scripting language. If a script was written for bash, run it with bash, not fish or zsh. I can withstand having two shells installed.

Even then, if it's an OS password (drive encryption n/inc) and they have physical access to the disks containing assets then it's already game over.

If your profile is up to date: why are you including password reuse attacks in your threat model?

Why do you need a secure account to order pizza?

Fish shell gets around this by using a list for it

There are essentially no CMake answers that are valid for creating idiomatic, modern CMake. I know how to correct the answers but can't unless I jump through the hoops. So I don't.

Maybe you'll prefer the Windows version:

  reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f

  reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverrideMask /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f

>we're working on the reference this year!

I didn't know this, it's good to hear. Thanks!

I'd describe it as less simple than adaptive cruise control in the clouds: they can put planes in holding patterns.
