  • Someone got tired of hallucinated reports

    Jump

  • In some cases. However most often when there is a stack trace it is because something I didn't expect happened - I can't tell you how we got there or how to correct it because if I knew I would have just had the code do that in the first place. If the error is something the user did though I'd expect a clean error message.

  • Is your city building a ton of banks and gas stations?

    Jump

  • Yes. My town was 5k people in 2000, 20k in 2020, and expected to be over 100k in 2030. Everyone is trying to get into the grab. People who move in are more likely to find a new bank, so the banks want to be here early to get the customers.

    Gas stations are not something people are loyal to, but they still need to go in to support all the people moving into a car centric environment.

  • Rust Coreutils Continues Working Toward 100% GNU Compatibility, Proving Trolls Wrong

    Jump

  • What broke? If it was a GNU ism that wouldn't work on *BSD either, than it is your own stupid fault. There are other linux distros that also don't use the gnu core utils that would break things do.

  • Electric Flying Cars Now for Sale by California Company Pivotal

    Jump

  • Note that those are minimums. The pilots I know try to be well above the minimums as a personal rule. Landing without fuel is something they practice in the simulator, not something they ever want to try in real world conditions.

  • People espousing that unions don't work should have a look at police unions.

    Jump

  • Unions work depending on how 'in it together' you feel.

    If you resent the people standing around doing nothing they start to fail. If you resent the people who do worse work than you for the same pay they start to fail. note that on an assembly line the above isn't possible in the first place - which is why they work great there. (Bus drivers and police are also not really measureable like that)

  • that depends on the pilot. it doesn't apply to bold pilots. There are bold pilots and old pilots - but no old and bold pilots.

  • In practice that is zero - you are not allowed to take off unless you have enough fuel to fly for an hour after landing. flying is safe in large part because of hard learned rules like this.

  • How do I peel a hard boiled egg?

    Jump

  • Ask my wife. I've followed dozens of direction, none work for me - I get the peel and half the egg white off. She manages to get a nice peel every time.

    i don't think it is genetic, but whatever it is nothing works.

  • What skills did almost everybody have 50 years ago, but few people have today?

    Jump

  • From looking at history this seems confined to one generation - in 1950 the "ideal family" was a man going to work 9-5, and the women staying home to cook/clean. For a while it even worked out that way for a lot of people, but over the 1960s there was a culture revolution and women started working, while men learned to help. This process is continuing on.

    Look longer over history though you see that in almost all cultures men would regularly get into situations where there were no women around to cook. Hunting, or working in the field all day often meant men and women were separated and so men had to cook for themselves if they were to eat. (women between 15 and 40 were regularly pregnant or nursing a baby - men cannot do these things, and they limit what a woman can do so some activities become men's work.) Not to mention war which typically was mostly men, though "camp followers" did cook for the army in some cases.

    Which is to say, maybe your Grandpa didn't cook. However that men in his generation didn't cook was an outlier. Over history men and women both cooked.

  • We can't even pump fuel anymore without holding a digital billboard (Netherlands)

    Jump

  • Every car at a gas station has an exhaust system with temperatures well over the ignition point of gasoline. If there was a problem we would have to let our cars tool for half an hour a quarter mile away from the pumps before we pushed them there by hand.

    fortunately gasoline only burns in a narrow range of mixtures which are impossible to get in open air.

  • That only sometimes works. Make sure you never go to that station again, and tell your friends. Buycotts work best if a lot of people boycott over a sustained period of time.

    i now have an ev, so I can't join anymore.

  • What skills did almost everybody have 50 years ago, but few people have today?

    Jump

  • Huh? Who doesn't know how to cook? It is easy and very common in mowt circles. I think you need to readjust your life if you think that is rare. eating out is not only expensive it is also unhealy most of the time.

  • The job losses are real — but the AI excuse is fake

    Jump

  • Just another recession. Don't invoke depression - things are not nearly that bad.

  • Kentucky moves toward ban on cell phone use while driving

    Jump

  • That is out of date. Someone should look up the law in Iowa that just went into effect and update it. I'm too lazy to look up the required details.

  • Apple tells Patreon to move creators to in-app purchase for subscriptions by November

    Jump

  • Apple is not that stupid - they will see through such tricks.

    Which is also why Apple wants this: they don't get a cut of the money Patron makes.

  • New Dishwashers that aren't junk (America)?

    Jump

  • Go to your small local "sales and service" place and ask them. Not all of them are good, but many are friendly, and they know what they get called to repair.

    Though last time I asked they told me keep repairing the old ones - new ones are too water savings and won't work as well.

  • Something bad about Bosch: if you need a repair almost no local shop will work on them. They use the cheap national chains for warranty work - the type that that try to band-aid over a problem until you give up and buy a new one.

    Overall Bosch is reliable, but if you have problems they are not a good choice.

  • Do you have a plan for your self-hosted data if you die?

    Jump

  • I had a few cousins who took and finished all my grandma's unfinished quilts. They were already into quilting though. YMMV, but it is a good example - if there is someone who can understand/take this over give it to them.

    French newspaper : Many Germans have a deep relationship with combustion cars. For them, buying a quiet electric car is emotionally hard to accept.

    Jump

  • It is a car. you will be calling it junk and replacing it in a few years. So don't get emothional.

    I get it - a stick shift ICE may not accelerate as fast/smooth - but it is a lot more fun. However driving is a serious task with potential to kill people. You can't treat it like a game
