Bioware had a string of hits before EA bought them.

> gVisor is... less secure than VMs

Do you have evidence for that? I’m personally more concerned about QEMU based escapes.

I had always used a mix of Windows and Linux until a few years ago. Someone gifted me a mac. All three seem like they have a similar number of issues, but I regularly run into issues with macOS that seem to be impossible to solve.

People who complain about Linux usually either insist on customizing it (as you noted) or run it on hardware that it doesn't work well on. If you are willing to buy special hardware to run macOS, why not the same for Linux?

It seems particularly similar to the short lived Microsoft Kin phones from 2010.

I'm doubtful that it has fewer lines of code, but even so, it is almost certainly less tricky and simpler code. You could also rewrite it in a higher level and more forgiving language than Rust (e.g. Go) and get huge improvements. The improvements would probably be much bigger than the improvements they have achieved at the JavaScript runtime level.

Hasn't your team shrunk a lot? Word on the street is that many of Bun's employees left or let go in the time leading up to the acquisition. How many people are left working on Bun?

Has development velocity increased because you are merging large quantities of unreviewed LLM generated code? If so, I would be very worried about future stability if I used Bun.

Aren’t there laws regarding the transport of hazardous materials?

It is listed as #1 for me.

The bus lines in the US tend to be spread out enough that riders often have to walk a long distance anyway as many/most destinations are far away from the route itself and would require substantial non-bus travel even with infinite bus stops along the route. Given that reality, the density of bus stops along routes seem inefficient for a very small real world improvement.

I got two Tesla Powerwall 3s partly because I thought the software would be better. Instead, they are extremely buggy and the software has poor functionality. Many of the features are broken. The product feels like a prototype. Grid charging is broken and many of the features related to it don’t do what it says in the app. The batteries regularly do calibration cycles where they dump their entire charge and then stay at 0% charge level for at least 24 hours. When I first got them about a year and a half ago they would do that about once every two weeks, although they have reduced the frequency. I’ve also had issues with them turning on their heaters when it isn’t even cold and draining themselves. You get little to no insight into their operation and need to contact technical support for any little issue. They crash and do a hard reset and shut off the power every so often as well.

It seems that the Spotlight Search box (from CMD + Space) can be moved by clicking anywhere on it and dragging.

Yes, and the reality is that any of those would require a fairly large constellation of satellites. I guess the play is that many large constellations of satellites will be launched.

On top of that, despite huge investments of both time and money into both areas, seemingly rivaling competitors, Tesla does not seem to be anywhere close to a market leader in either segment. They have to both prove the markets and that they can compete in them.
