We picking favourite features? Let's talk about headphone jacks. Make it .3mm thicker if all that volume can be consolidated on the header jack they ditched because apparently it can't fit and wasn't feeding their radio earbud business enough.

they engineer a solution that they believe to be a smoother user experience

You had me until this bit. I support my mom and the iPhone she got instead of an android. I have no idea how to use this thing, and she's the mother of 2.5 nerds. This swishy swoopy UI is so bad it's toxic.

But I think that's just a young and sparkle-addicted product management team who forgets that they need to sell to their market and who believe they know better.

Pay attention in school, kids, lest you miss learning what a binary choice is.

And evolution.

Never forget this.

cats that absolutely had nothing going on upstairs, not a single thought in their little brains.

Ah, so you've met a Persian cat. Pretty cats, but at what cost?

please, look at the machines and see if there is a very clear label

My local bodeguero says "okay, that'll be $12, and tap on the very top when the total appears".

His machine doesn't even beg for tips either -- they pay their people enough.

We had consensus and critical thinking: if vendors tried to bring out 51 styles of tap-to-pay before, we'd quickly avoid the crap ones and stick to the ones that were consistent and compatible.

No one's going to put down their groceries and walk out because the tap-to-pay is this inscrutable mess sold off the back of an argentinian van. We'll just get through it and hope the info isn't skimmed to drain our accounts.

All of those things have one UI, one process for success, and so all experience is cumulative and transferrable. Tap-to-pay is a new button and process and tap-spot each time, each vendor, each venue.

This thing looks great but it has layers of supply-chain sploit risk. Make sure you're really secure before trying it -- and if you're (otherwise) iso27002 compliant, give it a pass.

Why is he doing this?

Market manipulation.

Propriety, ironically.

My mom had Y Pestis for about 2 years. Worked in an animal shelter -- which are frequently in older buildings and store lots of kibble. No nodule presentation so it was hard to diagnose until they came to it.

2 week course of treatment.

Yeah, I wouldn't trust Skippy either.

Do you think people vote for the perfect party? No. Never have. You vote for the least worse. And understand that you chose from the bad options they gave you so the most good was possible.

All this bleating about how evil the Dems apparently are when they've been hamstrung so long, I just don't care. It's a two party system and they're the least worse.

If a third party shows up, it has a chance of being good. But we all understand that under FPTP a third lefty party will only split the dem vote and hand a win to the GoP even when it's fair.

Only if you add the rest of the letters back to "thru" and "nite".

We can't oppose people breaking the law and break the same law ourselves. That's just nonsensical hypocrisy.

I mean, just to be sure their names end up on the do-not-treat list, at least, as they would for anyone bringing violence into a hospital.

Generally, you can't get a home mortgage without insurance, you can't own and rent a place out if you don't have property insurance.

So, Canada, then?

Systemd is the Kanye West of vibe-coding.

1. Take a non-stop Linux box where even the kernel can be patched while it's hot
2. Glance at d-bus sideways
3. Now you must reboot.
