At least the USA is only 4% of the world’s population so the world economy will just find other financial hubs and currencies, no big loss.

They might be a smidgeon further apart than might be ideal, there’s some ugly duplication… which happens to enforce a minimum distance… just get that shoulder opened up and start evaluating. It’s certainly likely to be more optimal than the status quo.

Might need Karabiner on macOS to keep shortcuts working.

It was either Hepburn, the English title (i.e. rock instead of rokku), or just most sensibly kana/kanji that would have been used for this everywhere, never other romanisation systems, to within a rounding error.

So voters across the country have come to the conclusion that the Democrats aren’t to blame.

You don’t always get comments that contain their own rebuttal, but when they happen they just bring a tear to your eyes.

Like option structs in Go. Simple.

And some simple command for any Linux distro or macOS to install everything necessary to adhere to that standard, or a distro that conforms with that standard in the first place.

So, for all intents and purposes, nothing that would be relevant in any reasonable end-user way in 2025. It’s all just: here’s defaults and here’s scripts to set up your environment and here’s a dozen things to run brew with. But no standard.

In fact, I’d call electronic voting unpopular given the many, many examples on this page.

Shatner on space. Same thing with Carl Sagan and that mote of dust. And Earthrise. And Blue Marble.

I dislike these Trump people and the consistency with which they’ve all had complete spiritual bankruptcies ever so much.

Not a standalone monitor, but eMac. 2002, with the last revision first released in 2005.

Echoes like, if you look really closely, how window management without third-party tools is as garbage in 2025 as it was in 1984. Never change, love you Mac.

Sure, it'll kill me because of the comparative lack of safety, but that seems like a minor sacrifice in the face of needing to deal with a new car.

It also doesn't have pillars the thickness of an elephant's legs, like all new cars, significantly less compromising to visibility all around. It also lacks the now ubiquitous square and raised bonnet.

Eh, they get their revenge. As any Australian of a certain age can tell you TelSTRA could not get it right, for any value of right, without expending an equivalent effort to moving a mountain.

Anybody who thinks that the aviation industry does or doesn’t do anything significantly different because of something that touches 4% for 4 years is probably in the market for some Ilyushin 96’s.

In fact, zod is one of the leading forces behind this: https://github.com/standard-schema/standard-schema

A major version increase in four years doesn’t exactly scream “throw-away” to me.

No mention of FSD anywhere in that section. Tesla fanboys, pack it in.

> In addition to the functionality and features of Autopilot and Enhanced Autopilot, Full Self-Driving capability also includes:

> > Traffic and Stop Sign Control (Beta): Identifies stop signs and traffic lights and automatically slows your vehicle to a stop on approach, with your active supervision.

> > Upcoming: Autostreer on city streets

Since I don't see a stop sign, or a traffic light, I cannot imagine how that makes any difference or can in any way be considered a complete f*k up, or how that's a "HUGE misrepresentation of facts". These things, listed here copied verbatim from the website of the manufacturer, are completely irrelevant to what was being tested here. It's like arguing that a crash test is invalid because the crash test dummy had a red shirt instead of a yellow one.

Never could get used to the term 'derivative' in that context. Everything's derivative. Hard to know what word to use instead, but I just wouldn't attach an adjective in the first place and just skip past it. For instance, I don't call a particular reality show derivative, I'm just not really going to be interested in the first place, odds are.

Missed that part in your parent reply originally, you're right of course, cheers :)
