The latest one for me is renting a new apartment, getting told it cost $XXXX a month, then being told I'm required to have $XXXXXX amount of renter's insurance at $XXX a month and oh, by the way, click here to use ours.
The city with the most funds per capita in the USA is SF. It's entirely run by dems. They can't pull it together or make the numbers work any better than repubs
You forgot the cost of insurance when you get sued by the passengers or when you get into an accident since you're racing down the road hoping people are paying attention and get out of the way. No idea what it costs but it's arguably more than an uber driver. 2x? 5x?
There are a ton of other costs. You're not paying for one employee. You're paying for many since ambulances run 24/7. They are also driven hard which means they require more maintenance. The ambulance is also full of expensive equipment and supplies.
My LLM of choice says it actually costs $1000-$2500 per ride to the company for operational costs on top of per-ride costs. You can probably ask one for a breakdown and see if it makes sense to you
Was it a genuine birthday greeting when you bought a card? Or used an online card? I don’t really see the difference. The point is you thought of them, not the actual words
> Every game engine has a sort of "grain" to it where it tends to produce games with a certain look and feel. The flat-ish shading and floaty physics of Unity is a particularly visible example of this.
Ridiculous and provably false.
It's like saying "every novel written with a typewriter tends to produce stories with a certain theme and dialog"
I don't know German produce but I'm pretty confident California, where I'm from, doesn't compare to Paris' farmers markets. The variety and quality there were way beyond all the farmers markets and produce stands I've been to over my life in California. That said, I certainly noticed a difference between California and Maryland, at least at the time. But, having experienced better I no longer consider California good. As one example, I have very bad luck trying to find a tomato with any flavor.
Maybe you need to live somewhere with more options to compare?
As one example, Tokyo has 160,000 restaurants. NYC has 21k. Divided by population that's 5x more in Tokyo.
Other example would be most major Asian cities. Taipei for example has 20-30 night markets each with 50 to 500 stalls. Kuala Lumpur has mamak food stand areas all over, often open till 4am.
I’ve had Claude build UIs from scratch in rust. No framework. I prompted it to make its own ImGUI style Ui system and a few minutes later I had texts, icons, buttons, sliders, scrolling lists, etc..
All my experience tells me it can do it with or without a GPU meaning if you don’t have one it can easily write a software render for a UI
I believe Japan is a more trusting society than most western societies yet their big electronics stores have easily 4x the surveillance than most western ones.
That's a great example. But, it's not always so clear cut.
Following the exact "best practice" in the article, the iPhone lock screen has this issue. Say your password is 1234 but you accidentally type 11234. What the iPhone will do is see 1123, the pause to tell you you failed, then enter 4. Now you, having muscle memory, will type 1234 (your password). But iPhone kept that 4 so it sees 4123 then pauses to tell you entered the wrong password, then adds the 4, and you type 1234 again, which again it sees 4123.
Finally, frustrated, you pause and press delete or take some other action to reset the lock screen and this time it works.
This has happened to me countless times since iPhone had a lock screen.
The better UX would be to clear the that after the error which is effectively what the Nothing Phone is doing with the photo rotation
I agree 100% with the article that for photo rotation it should do what the iPhone is doing. Conversely, it's wrong thing to do on the lock screen.
My experience with Scons tells me you do not want a PL. The problem with a PL is every programmer that touches it implemenents a new way to do something and then trying to edit/change anything because like untangling noodles. That's not to say they can't do the same in a DSL but I'd argue the DSL fights against that trend.
There are also things like trying to find what needs to be built as fast as possible. This was also a problem with Scons as each person adds custom code that must be executed before being able to know what to build. Contrast that with gn and ninja which generate fast and build fast.
I don’t know how much they are saving. On the one hand they save a stop (they aren’t saving a van as there are likely already vans delivering near by). on the other they have to hold on to stock longer waiting for things to all be ready. It costs money to store things
