There are a number of ride-sharing services, the self-proclaimed biggest being blablacar.de, previously known as mitfahrgelegenheiten.de, I believe.
We also have a multitude of car-sharing services, where if you subscribe, you can look for a free car parked somewhere, and then drive it wherever you want within a certain area. Examples are car2go, DriveNow, and I believe Starcar and other rental-car companies also have services like that.
Uber actually had to pull out of several german cities because of taxi-related regulations. Taxi-drivers in those cities need to obtain a license, which drivers for Uber obviously don't do. So (some german) institutions also view Uber as a taxi company.
Looks good, but I'm experiencing a UI bug. I'll just post a screenshot instead of describing it, it's got to do with some font color being the same as the background color.
I'm using Firefox in Win10 at work.
Nobody has mentioned nuclear waste disposal as far as I can tell. Everybody is basically saying "yeah, as long as we avoid explosions, nuclear is great", but has disposal been solved? Or is it not as big of a problem as I'm thinking?
I'm not sure if you mean the judge's entire name or the name 'Haskell', but just in case you didn't know: Haskell (the language), as well as the functional concept of currying were both named after a mathematician called Haskell Curry :)
On Linux it depends on your desktop environment, I suppose.
Or if you just use a window manager, like i3wm for example, you can define all sorts of hotkeys, which you can also bind to custom shell scripts, or anything you like, in your i3 config.
I don't want this to sound snide, but have you read the whole article? Inmates are literally driven insane by solitary confinement, driven to self harm and suicide.
It's not like you just get a cell for yourself as you would wish for in, say, a hospital; you are actually completely alone for months on end, with hardly any recreational activities, maybe none at all. That's much worse than having to cope with a celly who might be a bit unpleasant.
No, I can't recommend an equivalent to the T series. I did some research about laptops before deciding to buy the T460s, and my conclusion is this: all laptops are terrible and laptop-makers are consistently moving in the wrong direction.
The T460s is the least bad laptop I could find. That's why I bought it. And I actually like it a lot more than I thought I would, but a few things still aren't the way I want them, like being unable to easily (hot-)swap batteries, which was possible in the 450 generation. And the T460s still has two batteries. Just not easily removable. See what I mean?
Anyway, honest recommendation: get a Thinkpad. Don't put Windows on it. After you do your own research of course; maybe look at Dell XPS laptops?
I'd recommend Lenovo laptops. I have a Thinkpad T460s, which is awesome. If you really want the tablet/laptop hybrid, maybe a Thinkpad X1 Yoga, or something from the 'regular' Yoga series will work for you. Yoga-series laptops start at around $500, whereas the premium X1 Yoga starts at something like $1.400 I believe.
Edit: Linux support on Lenovo laptops is pretty good overall, and if you're a Windows person, they ship with that by default. If you're a student, they offer discounts as well, I believe. I got mine from a local seller without an OS and put Linux on it.
Nice explanation, thanks; your formatting got a little messy right after the code block, though, because things between asterisks are rendered cursive.
Yes, I see your point. I personally like this kind of stuff, tinkering with my setup and whatnot. But it's definitely not for everyone.
Have you tried using a Desktop Environment under the hood of i3, like xfce? Might be closer to what you're looking for.
There's also a subreddit called "unixporn" where people post their various setups, usually accompanied by their configs. Might be worth to take a look at.
Other than that, there's really only waiting or going back to macOS, I suppose...
It's actually quite simple to get some (all?) of the things you mentioned on an i3 setup (and other DMs, I'm sure). All you need is a compositor, like compton.
I just think that the more emotional voters, the ones more easily manipulated by propaganda, are more likely to keep voting when it costs something, whereas people who don't care all that much will just not bother anymore.
I'm not sure if that will generate a representative and, uh, positive outcome.
There's also this article [0], which sort of tears Zed's article apart bit by bit. It's honestly a fun read because of the aggressive tone (which I find deserved), and it's also informative.
edit: there was a HN discussion about it as well. [1]
Is it really? Apple makes some wildly successful products, and will apparently put more focus on those. Seems fine. I personally found out that Apple makes (made) routers through this post, so maybe they're not a huge deal.
Do you think Su Filindeu tastes much different from any other pasta prepared with sheep broth and pecorino? It seems like it should, given the huge amount of work going into it, but since the ingredients are so simple, it also seems like it shouldn't make a huge difference...
