If those bugs are only present in the Linux port, then yeah, Linux users cost more to support. But if a significant amount of these bugs affect all platforms, then you could argue that a Linux user is much more valuable to them than a non-Linux user because they provide better feedback. Assuming they actually care about fixing their product.

If the car you're driving has achieved super-intelligence and is capable of evolving and self-replicating, then life, uh, finds a way.

The poster you're replying to was asking about wheat vs rice protein, not whey.

Even worse for Icelandic ones. Keychron used to show the Icelandic flag on their Nordic keyboard page, despite that layout not including Icelandic-specific characters (Ð / Þ missing, Ö in the wrong place). I asked them to start including those characters, but now they just removed the flag.

For Framework I went with a blank ISO layout.

In the U.K. they even use the term "give evidence" for the act of testifying in court.

My native keyboard layout is Icelandic so I'm not holding my breath. I ordered one with a blank ISO layout.

>Why hasn't anyone made a hybrid car that uses a gasoline-powered turbine generator to charge its batteries instead of a piston engine?

The current engine formula (2014-) in Formula 1 racing might be of interest to you.

> During acceleration of a Formula 1-car, the turbo charger is performing at its peak and is spinning at about 100,000 rpm. The MGU-H (Heat) functions at that moment as a generator. This is connected to the turbo charger and converts the energy, generated by the turbo, into electricity; that, in turn, is stored in a battery or sent directly to the MGU-K.

> This MGU-K (Kinetic), connected straight to the crankshaft of the turbo engine, acts as an electric motor that supplies extra power to said engine. This MGU changes into a dynamo, which stores the energy that is released during braking in the battery. This stored energy, can later be used to support the turbo engine during acceleration or overtaking.

>Luckily Init7 took them to court and they are now back peddling.

You mean back-pedaling. Peddling is something different.

This crash was also covered on an episode[1] of the Black Box Down podcast.

>I'm not sure what you mean by "sound the same", but just by comparing a simple change from major to minor is quite a dramatic change

That's because OP is not talking about the differences between scales (major vs minor) but keys (C major vs A major). With equal temperament all keys of the same scale have the exact same intervals between the notes. They are simply shifted up or down by a constant amount. Before equal temperament that was not the case.

Like the commenter alluded to, it allows accurately constrainted type-ahead. If a query starts with "SELECT FROM my_table " and expects one or more column names at that point, your IDE can already suggest the column names from my_table (and not from any other table).

In an asynchronous medium like Slack or IRC, the effort _isn't_ wasted, because the question will stay there, allowing people to see it later who weren't even around when the question was first asked.

Just like you don't email someone saying "Hey" waiting for a reply before you ask your question.

>True, but if you're having two windows side by side, the wider 16:9 will give you more horizontal space to do so.

I don't know about you, but I don't read two pages of text at the same time.

Nobody keeps anything close to that kind of amount in a savings account. They put it into various asset classes that appreciate by a lot more than 0.06%/year.

You might want to add a slash at the end of "trash", or add a mkdir before that command. Otherwise, doing this on a system where ~/.trash doesn't exist can still make you lose files after multiple deletions.
