this revolutionary microwave will cook a fish in ice while simultaneously draining your wallet to completion.

duuuuuuuude…

i mean, i thought dos2 was amazing. bg3 seems like a great refinement of the gameplay.

but it’s the same style, with similar pacing, and similar mechanics.

so, if dos2 wasn’t your thing i’m not sure this will be.

this looks so, so useful

yeah, it really puts my god awful pile of terraform in perspective.

go on a long hike or bike ride in fully synthetic garb—you will absolutely reek by the time you get to your car.

if you’re talking a 1 hour workout, then i agree.

the bummer is that synthetic materials are so comfortable to wear during exercise compared to cotton and so easy to care for compared to merino wool.

i just accept it and smell like my body has been turned inside out after long exertions.

my (similarly uninformed) opinion is… similar. the industry is so regulated and unsexy that it doesn’t attracted the thought leaders and technical talent necessary to created modern, inoovative systems. instead you get more verbose epic garbage. i could be totally wrong, but i always assumed it’s related to the sexiness-quotient of the field.

oregonian here.

full service in this context just means some gruff gentleman pumps your gas. getting your windows washed or oil checked is all but non-existent. so no, i don’t think there is any appeal for tourists. it’s an inferior experience.

gas stations are extremely understaffed these days, to the point where it’s rare at some stations for all the pumps to even be open. cars queue at popular stations while two employees man a dozen pumps. it can be agonizingly slow and frustrating.

i’ve read and heard a lot of pushback on self serve and i don’t get it. iirc stations are still required to offer full service on a portion of the pumps, so folks who don’t want to pump still won’t have to.

edit: all of this is of course my anecdotal experience from the willamette valley area.

this drastically depends on where you live and what the restaurant scene is like. you’re describing corporate chain restaurants.

cities with food scenes still exist.

i mean, sure... but lets ignore whatever malware project you were working on. :)

lot of businesses live or die on the trust of their customers. don't they? arc's product is aimed at power users. surely if they were collecting telemetry and then trying to hide the fact they were transmitting it would be a critical blow when discovered.

so while i totally agree that they _could_ operate like that, in most cases there is very little to be gained and a lot to be lost by being intentionally deceptive.

so this will kind of diverge on what we consider as "proof", but i don't think that the software would need to be permanently monitored for a reasonable assurance.

the bar for proof would certainly vary though.

this is an overly cynical take. headlines are brief by necessity. nobody would read that and think that a curved line from A to B is shorter than a straight line between the same points.

the first paragraph explains it,

> these wavy walls actually use less bricks than a straight wall because they can be made just one brick thin, while a straight wall—without buttresses—would easily topple over

i’ve tried arc a couple times and never got to the “aha!” moment. in a lot of ways arc reminds me of software from the early 2000’s that tried to do everything.

i think they’re doing some interesting stuff, but i just couldn’t find features or workflows that were safari-killers for me.

yes, but you can analyze the traffic from the app if you cared too. the point is that you absolutely can verify their claims.

practically speaking, you’re right—but something doesn’t have to be practical to be enjoyable or interesting to work on. lots of people try lots of wild things.

why does anyone build anything?

yeah, really lame response.
