They know their customers make unwise decisions. They got a bmw in the first place.

Sounds like a skill issue.

Edit: came back from the article, his second name is actually Jonathan lol. He must be the son of our former legendary leader Mary Ann Tifa.

In my city there are many stretches that run in the surface. The station I took when I was a kid gets veniced once a year or every other year when it pours and shuts the entire line or maybe just a chunk in the middle of it. It's very much affected by the wether, maybe a bit more than roads since they always set up an auxiliary bus line to cover any shut down.

No, I've read the whole comment. And I think it's wrong all of it. Of course we should build good, robust, and reliable public transport networks. But I think those shouldn't be oversized in excess. In this case I consider much more efficient to shut down or downsize the economy, than to prepare busses and trains, and rails and roads for events that doesn't happen that often. 'Sorry boss, the union has put out a message that today we aren't working.' is what it should be.

You cannot oversize the infrastructure for that 1% peak use. It's just not feasible. It's the 'mOaR trains/rails/busses...' instead of lanes. There isn't any efficient way of moving that much people around in that little time, imo the solution has to include distributing the use of the resources, like with wfh or even flexible schedules (honestly we should aim for just working less. We humans are doing and making too many things all the time...). What do you do with so many busses and trains just 30 min after the rush hour when almost no one rides it? I've seen those massive parking lots where the American yellow school busses lie the 99% of the time when they're not swarming all the roads, our current lots for busses and trains are quite big already I don't think they can be scaled that way. And then you have drivers and other workers...

Probably not the best in the world, but I would consider my city's public transit network way above the average for what I know. It's lovely most of the time, just not at rush hours when millions of people have to be moved at the same time, and specially in bad weather. I'm not sure what your standard for high quality is but I'd bet that even the best one gets overwhelmed in these situations and it's an absolute hell to ride as well.

Edit: even though I think it is still good, It just came to mind that trains have been crashing as of lately in my country. So the quality could fall due to corruption and capitalism at any moment really...

Yep camera too close to the face as well. Extend your arms a bit when taking a selfie, lads. And maybe not full duck-face but you're not gonna die for striking a wee pose too.

That's one way of saying you haven't commuted by bus, train, or subway in your entire life, I guess.

It's not the ai companies the ones falling, it's the other software developing companies. It seems that investors, in their infinite wisdom, are thinking developing software is not gonna be necessary in the future, like, you just ask gpt for the program you need and it'll build it on the fly or something...

Not the commenter you're asking, but I do consider the MIT licence a bad one for something like a core part of an OS. Not all FOSS licences are created equal, there're even important differences between the different GPLs (GPL2 is more permissive than GPL3, for example. With AGPL you have to grant the freedoms to the users even if the software is running out of your server, which isn't a thing with GPL2/3), and even the most permissive ones have a reason to exist, but I'm yet to hear (or read) a good one for these uutils, so I'm not touching any distro or project that uses these mit core utils with a ten foot pole.

[–] OfCourseNot@fedia.io 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

As far as I know uutils has always been under an mit licence, hasn't it?

 

It says that I have several notifications, which I think is also an error because when I go to my comments there aren't any new replies, has anyone got something like this?

Could be due to the recent update or is it something weirder?
