>async doesn’t go well with scale,

Sync is even worse at scale. I had the pleasure of attending standups in a 20-person team. It was a nightmare where I said two sentences and then wasted the next two hours of my life listening to things I either know or are unrelevant to me.

>you’re punishing everyone with having to back-read

Great, because skipping three pages of unimportant conversation is faster than skipping 30 minutes of banter between two extrovert UI developers as a backend specialist.

>structural strategy to keep everyone accountable

Sounds exactly like something mid level managers say to themselves. Structural synergy? Keeping people accountable? I just want to work, damnit.

I must be very clumsy with my phone, because it takes me a painfully long time to make a move on my phone (i estimate it to be a bit under a second), while with a mouse I can click at the speed of thought.

It may also be age? I use mouse all my life, while touchscreens are relatively new.

I never tip because it's not a custom in my country, but out of your two contradicting stories I believe the other one more. Does the driver even know the tip amount before rating the passenger? It works make sense if they didn't.

If he does it's indeed a bit weird (in a country where tipping is almost mandatory).

"Please accept the [tech word salad] popup to verify your identity"

Maybe this won't fool you, but it would trick 90% of internet users. (And even if it was 20% instead of 90%, that's still way too much.)

1. create a working (moderately complex) ghidra script without hallucinating.

Granted I was trying to do this 6 months ago, but maybe a miracle has happened. But I'm the past I had very bad experience with using LLMs for niche things (i.e. things that were never mentioned on stackoverflow)

You wouldn't do them intentionally, but they're there waiting to bite you in the foot.

You are getting downvoted but it made me wonder (I visited CERN a few years ago). I guess there are two aspects in play. One, the pile is massive, which naturally inspires awe, especially in person. Two, I know that what I'm looking at is actually a unique super advanced piece of technology, which took countless hours to produce, and that influences how one sees it.

I'm pretty sure EU would love to hammer them with fines for that.

Unless they ban F-Droid in the US but not in the EU - similar things have happened in the past, but nothing of this scale yet.

You link says the opposite - the change was very annoying for people that use non-english languages (like me), and:

>By default, qvm-copy and similar tools will use this less restrictive service (qubes.Filecopy +allow-all-names) whenever they detect any files that would be have been blocked by the more restrictive service

Also it looks like this is just for filenames? I can't imagine filtering text like this, that would render the system useless for me.

>In my opinion, there should be 3 Linux distribution. That's all.

Initially I instinctively agreed with you - certainly there's too many fragmentation in the Linux distro space!

Then I recalled I use NixOs, and it probably didn't make it to your top 3...

This won't stop the heat death of the universe, just prolong the life of one particular solar system a bit.

>But this has been the norm for a while, no? I can't remember the last time I didn't utilize credit at a restaurant or retail store.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I want to highlight that this is US specific. I'm in Europe, in my 30s and I never owned a credit card. The same goes for all my friends. Even ones who had to get a credit card for a trip to US, or got one from their bank without asking, don't use them.

It's clear that this extra 0.5% is there, because the company hopes to make it up on late payment fees extracted from less financial savvy people, or the high fees.

>This is an area where government regulation is actually required, all transaction fees should be disclosed and charged as a surcharge on the base purchase price, whether it's a credit card or BNPL

Btw. in Europe the card thing was solved differently. First, most people use debit cards, not credit cards. Second, card fees are capped at 0.2% which makes it actually a cost saving measure (cash processing is not free).
