> If Apple wants to buy a stick of bubble gum from me, they go to the back of the line like everyone else

Unless you're the people I've worked for, you would drop everything for the chance to impress Apple.

But my comment did have the false assumption that the contract size would be large.
They definitely stand their ground if they were aligned to do so.
Trying to get insurance in CA since 1 year, after state farm won't renew the insurance of my family (the property just changed owner due to inheritance). Even paying double (6k per year) won't get you insurance.
Of course you get both forms of extremism, but I think Reddit generally leans quite heavily towards the far-left.
In Spain it happens as well. The official city population numbers quoted by most sources are actually the population of the city's municipality. Sometimes municipalities are large, including rural areas and small towns close to the city, while other times they are smaller and leave outside areas that are effectively boroughs of the city (you walk down a street and are in a different municipality, without even going through any non-urban area). Some years ago there was a project to merge municipalities, focusing especially on cases like that, but it failed spectacularly because it required consent from all municipalities involved and the smaller ones never wanted to merge (partly because it's advantageous for them to not pay big city taxes but still use their services, but I suspect mainly because mayors don't want to just give up their position and go find another job).

This makes rankings by population rather biased and spawns many endless discussions on whether city X is bigger than its rival city Y (and sometimes it might actually have real-life consequences, say, when the central government comes up with some funds for cities of size greater than some threshold).
I always forget to compare to react-dom, rather than react. Easy to forget that react-dom is a peer-dependency rather than a direct dependency.

My JSX-based but not React framework has one large direct dependency (RxJS), but still comes in less than react-dom and comparable to preact:

Similarly, I have to keep remembering that when trying to argue for web component embedding that it isn't competing with just lit, but generally lit and lit-html together:

https://bundlephobia.com/package/lit@3.1.2

I wonder if bundlephobia needs more of "peer dependency" mode.

Is insurance obligatory in USA?
A. For owners?
B. Is it obligatory if the owner rents the house?
"...yet, East Bay travelers would benefit the most from such development."

True, but who do you personally know who would trade a small benefit every time they fly for a moderate nuisance at their house? I'm not sure even pilots would ask for the flight benefit.
It's like that anecdote about a*holes

When everyone you meet is an a*hole, maybe you're the a*hole
Playing Devil's advocate, air travel is a much larger business than it used to be.

Over time the number of flights, size of aircraft and time of flights can change. This can lead to increased disruption over time. It's not unreasonable to complain about an unexpected increase in disruption.

You can factor some of this into the price, but you can't factor in unknown-unknowns.

I find this so interesting mainly as a programmer, to have to think about how they'd have to rethink age-old rendering and interaction models for form controls (rendering logic that's probably been in there for decades) and "flip" it in meaningful ways. This feels more substantial than right-to-left.

I tried to search for the patch because I'm really curious as to exactly how much code had to be redone. If anyone has better luck than me, I'd love to see the overall ticket and patch.

This is a good way to think about it. While I might be interested in the product, I’m not interested in the “high touch” sales experience, nor am I interested in doing it on someone else’s schedule. Those aspects of the process are the spam.
This is reminiscent of an argument I had with the Mercury Prolog guys regarding "typing" in logic programming. My point boils down to this:

Any predicate can be considered a constraint. Types are constraints. While it may be reasonable to have syntactic sugars for type declarations that, at compile time, are transformed into predicates, it is unreasonable to lard a completely different kind of semantics on top of an already adequate semantic such as first order logic.

> “Floridians are seeing homeowners insurance become costlier and scarcer because, for years, the state has been the home of too much litigation and too many fraudulent roof-replacement schemes”

I've often wondered about the whole roof bullshit as it seems everyone around here expects a free roof replacement anytime it hails. At some point it's unsustainable.

(The idea behind roof replacement insurance is/was a good one, as a damaged roof quickly destroys the entire building, water is the building destroyer. But when you have people driving around after a hailstorm offering homeowners free roofs if they sign over the ability to work with their insurance, obviously something is wrong.)
I've got a room full of synths and drum machines and samplers, so the core current offering is maybe a bit faster than what I already have, but not _different_.

What I _need_ is something that creates melodies, tones and textures that I _can't_ get from the gear I have: a brass ensemble playing into a Neuman u87 made in the 60s; a guitarist and flautist playing something soft and spooky; vocal chops. The stuff that people sample from film scores and then try to process so far that they can't be sued.

I couldn't see a way to get such sounds from your service. It looks like it only generates sounds I can already make with my existing gear and skills. Am I using it wrong, or am I not your target market?

HEAD is always a reference to the checked out commit. A "branch" is a named reference to a commit to a commit that will auto advance if you check it out and make new commits. A tag is a named reference to a commit that will not auto advance if you check it out and make new commits.

If you checkout a commit using something other than a branch name, new commits that you make will not auto advance any branches. This is what a "detached HEAD" is, since your HEAD is detached from any branch.
The industry came up with reinsurance for this reason.
Roofs just do not last that long in florida. Hurricanes and floods are getting worse because of global warming, so they last even less. And yes an older roof is more susceptible to leaking, damage, etc.
The value of open source is that I don't have to waste my time negotiating contracts to license the software, I can make improvemwnts and customizations to it, I don't have to accept changes from upstream that are detrimental to my business, and no one can take it away from me.

Open Source may also be less expensive, but I am paying with some combination of time and efort and support contracts or other service and sponsorships.

I believe it has something to do with a law past a couple of years ago that they cannot deny based on roof age if less than 15 years so now they are denying everything over 15 years.

There is something related to the sticky membrane they put down first now days that helps with hurricane damage and there was also a significant amount of people getting insurance to pay for new roofs after even minor storm damage that occurred due to the way the law was or is structured, roofer where going around finding anyone with minor damage and getting new roofs put on filing claims.
Why would you think that discovery would have to be an SMS/MMS thing?

Since you’ve never used an iPhone, let me explain the experience. When you type in a random new number it starts off green. If the user uses iMessage, once you finish typing it magically turns blue. Apple doesn’t care about whether the other number is an Android phone per se, although if it’s not using iMessage then it’s almost certain that the number routes to an android phone.

>Pico-8 was and is one of the most pleasant pieces of software I have used

Indeed, but I have a gripe with it that I cannot get over, the editor's font is too damn hard to read, I tried get used to it but to no avail. The games however are very playable, fun, inspiring and the community couldn't be better.
I read another article which asked strongly that people NOT use rare earth, neodimium or other strong magnets on meteorites, so this should perhaps be emphasized more strongly.

>>You say that your rock attracts a magnet or a compass. Most (>95%) of meteorites (irons and ordinary chondrites) attract cheap magnets because they contain iron-nickel metal. Many terrestrial rocks, however, contain the mineral magnetite, which also attracts a cheap magnet. (Do not use a rare-earth magnet; a cheap “refrigerator magnet” will attract a meteorite.)

The reason is that the strong magnets can re-orient the magnetic properties of the meteorite, ruining it for some aspects of tests or research. Seems polite to not ruin the thing for research for only a few seconds of 'that's cool' sensation.
This is called Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). The LLM driver recognizes a query, it gets send to a vector database or to an external system (could be another LLM...) and the answer is placed in the context. It's a common strategy to work around their limited context length, but it tends to be brittle. Look for survey papers.
It throws me off because it sounds sarcastic depending on which parts you emphasize. "The fire department all but put out the fire".

> Inertia causes the sensor in the accelerometer to read nonzero.

This can't be right, because an object moving solely under gravity is moving solely under its own inertia, but an accelerometer attached to it reads zero.

> do the experiment!

Do what experiment? Experiments showing that accelerometers attached to objects moving solely under gravity read zero, while objects subjected to non-gravitational forces read nonzero, have been done.

I don't live in CA so I'm not sure what's exactly required there. In most cases though, you are required to keep insurance if you have a mortgage.

If you rent, your landlord is responsible for insurance for the structure, but you can/should get insurance for your belongings and in the event that your actions cause damage to the house or to people.

Technically, no. Practically, yes.

It is nearly impossible to get a mortgage on a habitable house without getting home insurance, because the bank doesn't want to loan you $400k on a $500k house, have the house burn down, and since the land is only worth $100k and you still owe $400k, you just walk.

Even if you own the house outright, home insurance is one of those "good idea" unless you can take a complete structure loss on the teeth and keep moving. And if you're renting it, you want it for the liability protection, too, because tenants can and will sue, and if your policy is big enough, the insurance company lawyers will defend.

But if you own a house in the sticks outright and don't want insurance, you don't have to have it, I don't know of any state that requires it the same way car insurance is required (and even car insurance isn't required if you never drive your car off your land).

You're speaking at one level of abstraction up from the post you're replying to. You're both correct. It's just that you need to use the parent's level of abstraction if you want to strictly define "current branch".
You could employ an LLM to give you updated queries when the format changes. This is something where they should shine. And you get something that you can audit and exhaustively test.

> In July 2023, State Farm applied for an average 38.7% rate hike with the California Department of Insurance for commercial apartments, according to public filings. But the department ruled the hike was not supported by data, and instead approved a 23% hike at the beginning of March.

If you have to apply for a price hike, and it can be modified or refused, that's a form of price controls. And climate change isn't causing PG&E to be worthless idiots; they've always been that. The change is in the climate of the courts; they're now being held responsible.

This seems inevitable for any effort that seeks to make a "platform" for "connecting market participants" it always ends up becoming awash with scams, shams and flim flams.

It strikes me that this is enabled by the Internet because it suddenly removes all external checks one cane do in the real world to validate a claim.

As far as I can tell, you are claiming that there is a viable model in which, for example, a charged object moving in an electromagnetic field would have "zero proper acceleration" while an uncharged object moving solely under gravity, would have "nonzero proper acceleration". But such a model can't be right, because "proper acceleration" is a direct observable, and our direct observation is the other way around.

One insurance agent I know said much of it came from requiring legal fees be reimbursed, so lawyers where helping people go after insurance for even minor claims while racking up large legals fees to do so that insurance has to pay for.

There was a lot of people getting new roofs for very minor damage and roofers going around trying to facilitate the process.

In Washington DC, Washington National Airport (WAS) is just across a river from downtown and connected by subway, and Dulles International Airport (IAD) was way out past the exurbs when it was constructed and only just got a subway connection several decades later.

I think configured is a red herring.

Computers were and are an abstracting interface to functionality. Historically the abstraction was frequently leaking and the user had to make various adjustments.

It could be argued the nowadays the leaking has been reduced to an extent that users can fully embrace the abstraction. That is not quite right, counter examples include "after two years of browsing my computer became slow, need a new one" and "I can't use that website, it is full of popup adverts".
Not many developers do that. The general population won't even understand what they are looking at. If you are good at teaching you can give them an idea and a few of them maybe will do it, but the time invested in the allow/reload loop is probably too much unless one is really committed.
