When I was a kid I used to take a bus from East to West coast of Italy in Summer. Despite my best efforts to calculate the side with minimum sun exposure, I always ended up on the sunny side. This also happened when doing the opposite of my predictions. An app like this would have helped me a lot, but it would be nice to have the possibility customize the route.

I just read my comment and realized how unfriendly it was, sorry about that. Thank you for not replying as rudely as I did.

Completely unrelated but Apple telling employees what to answer to customers is what makes interactions at their stores feel so artificial and clumsy.

Don't know that op means but I can relate. Not long ago I was searching for an apartment to rent in my hometown to move closer to my workplace and I noticed that prices went crazy high compared to few years ago, so high that I can't afford them anymore. Students have demonstrated by mounting camping tents near the universities to protest the lack of affordable housing. I'm quite sure it's because owners prefer to rent to tourists than locals (higher income and no taxes, depending on the owner's compliance).

Cities like Venice lost their original character as many locals preferred to move out of the historical center to reduce the cost of living.

Other cities like Florence don't allow new bed and breakfasts to be registered, to try and control housing costs.

It depends on where you live I guess, in my country (Italy) that's quite a high salary. Anyway "We hope the workcation visa will allow high-earning foreigners to stay in Korea's various regions and vitalize the local economy," doesn't sound as utopic as the title suggests.

I know you shouldn’t comment about votes, but why downvotes? You might be against copyright in certain cases but technically, if not legally, the point holds.

May I suggest adding some additional context to the home page? While I heard about Sentry I find difficult to understand what Spotlight does. I might not be the intended target audience though.

I’d rather buy an electric Brompton, though this is much cheaper.

Well he really inspired me to consider kidney donation, if only I hadn't just discovered that I have only one.

Modern icons are mostly useless. I remember old apple design guidelines recommending to design icons with recognizable shapes. iPhone icons are all square making impossible to identify the right one at a first glance. Same for the MacOS dock.

Given the title, the video was indeed a bit disappointing but I imagine that “extreme” is ironic or at least relative.

Emacs has such a steep and long learning curve that I couldn’t justify learning it while doing actual work. Still attracted by it, any suggestion for a smoother adoption?

I might be a mediocre developer but I find ChatGPT invaluable for my job. It finds potential problems in my code, suggests solutions, helps with libraries I don’t know about, helps in drafting solutions when given a high level description of the problem. It makes mistakes but I don’t expect it to be perfect. As a non native speaker, it also helps me with my English (didn’t use it for this comment).

> "There is no evidence that the death penalty has a unique deterrent effect or that it has any impact on the use and availability of drugs," said Amnesty International's Chiara Sangiorgio in a statement.

Arguing about whether the death penalty acts or not as a deterrent can distract from the primary point. If one believes the death penalty is wrong in principle, then that should be the central argument. Debating its effectiveness opens the door to counterarguments and can weaken the stance. I believe that the focus should be on the moral and ethical reasons against it.

All roads lead to Monaco. I miss the bitmap version though.

I couldn't find that option, I think they removed it. I improved it by changing the theme, dark themes seem to render a bolder text.

I'm not sure this is a good idea. I had to replace my iPhone batteries only twice since iPhone 3. Price was reasonable considering the price of the iPhone itself. Waste was managed and hopefully recycled by Apple. How many people would buy more cheaper batteries and not properly dispose the old ones? I know the article mentions recovery of waste etc. but it's up to the governments to be compliant and, as bad as it sounds, I tend to trust private companies more than governments.

Does anyone know why it looks much better on VSC than WebStorm on Mac? Would love to love IntelliJ products but I can't stand the way they render text.

> In Italy there's a bunch of things called "pizza" which are not round flat bread.

In certain regions of Southern Italy, the word 'pizza' also refers to a part of the male anatomy which is not flat.

Edit: feels good to be downvoted by people with socially acceptable sense of humor

Does anyone know of a tool that can emulate the pointer inertia you'd find with a trackball, but on a trackpad? This way, you could 'launch' the pointer across the screen. As a long-time trackball user, I believe this feature would be incredibly useful.

They are a search company, yet they decided to give the same name to two completely different web frameworks. Ok one is called AngularJS and the other one is Angular, but still.

Why do you hear a persistent 60hz sound? Could it be linked to the AC frequency? I couldn't find anything about it online.

For my 20 months old daughter i’m only getting mechanical toys possibly made of wood, or simple dolls with no electronics. Trying to keep her away from modern cheap animations and songs, especially from the Baby Shark saga which washes your brain and leaves it empty.

I don’t believe that this is populism, as others said. No one cares about English words in bureaucracy and probably few of their voters knew or cared about synthetic meat. I think that these people are nostalgic of the good old times and they can’t believe that after 100 years they are in power again. After staying put for few months they are revealing themselves for what they are.

As few of them have experience as leaders, all they can do is mimic fascism. I believe that many of these initiatives are personal, but no one is stopping them as these behaviors are praised in their environment. In the meantime they will lose money from the recovery and resiliency plan from Europe because of their incompetency, and they will fail to promote an European plan for immigration. They’ll probably even get more votes because of this as they master the art of choosing an enemy (Europe, immigrants) and ride people’s anger.

Few years ago I decided to challenge my memory by learning few characters of the Divine Comedy by earth.

I don't know how much my memory got better but as a side benefit I got a great meditation technique for when I feel overwhelmed with my thoughts, or cannot sleep. I just have to recite one character silently and all the brain resources that would be wasted to feed my stress will go into the activities of recalling, visualising and enjoying the poem. It's the greatest stress relief method I found.

Thanks god. Most boring dataset ever. The reason why I never got past the first chapter of any ML book I tried to read.

No it wasn't a complete shut in, and I consider getting on an airplane a major achievement. Re Omicron, my simplistic explanation is that its spread is mainly caused by people eating in restaurants. At least irrationally I felt protected by everyone wearing high quality masks.

I'm jealous of people who manage to have an almost normal life. I live in a constant latent distress who might be devastating me. My 1 year old daughter had a good time by being with her parents 100% of her time but I'm very concerned about her future, both health and mental wise as she will soon need to make friends and have a social life.

I try not to go out and when I do I avoid crowded places and keep far from people without a mask even when outside. I'm sure I'm transmitting my distress to my family. Furthermore, the feeling that my behaviour is not understood and judged extreme by people around me, including colleagues and relatives and maybe my wife, is making me feel more isolated.

I think that this only happens to the western world, where people misunderstood freedom for something else. I have recently been to South Korea and I felt much more at ease there, as for example not wearing a mask in public is considered socially deplorable and you might be reprimanded by other people.

This might be the first time I stated it explicitly, but I think that though not having been infected yet, probably my life got ruined irreversibly.

Insects are the food of the future. So glad to live in the present.

Yes I think that the article should have mentioned your that too. I wasn't trying to make any comparison, my point is that by not being objective you don't do any favour to nuclear energy, and probably give more arguments to people who are against it.
