500 internal errors in console, video doesn't play

I agree, but it should still be retired regardless of intended usage - history matters; we don't have to mistakenly other people to show off cool screenshots

i'd settle for more sidewalks in my town

on some streets they just paint a line down the road and call it a sidewalk - one of these is on a road touching an elementary school

I'd probably do this for a hobby project

but financial software? no way in heck!

I've read the thread; Rust-folk I recognize seem to accept that this was done to reduce compile time without suspecting bad-faith, but I can't independently verify that.

There's a post in there where sometime tries to manually compile the same binary to verify that it matches the shipped binary and they were not able to do it, but there could be a good reason for that. Reproducible builds are hard.

It's "rice" because it's asian; it's a derogatory term used towards people and their cars. When I was younger, this term was used against asian drivers and their asian cars - and it was not a compliment.

Looking at Urban Dictionary I see no mention of this anti-asian side of it, but it was there when I was growing up. Maybe others can chime in with their experience, I imagine it wasn't the same everywhere.

Not implying the people using it here are being racist, I don't think they are aware of what I'm recalling here.

A borderline racial slur about making things look good without substance behind the appearance: e.g.: "riced-up Honda civic"

Office is weird about it because of their OneDrive product

Their entire worldview is an anxiety buffet; they've got something for everyone, all they need to bring is unmanaged fear

most of the people buying these are buying a costume, not a work vehicle, if my neighbors are any indication

it's a status symbol

RBC has increased their prime rate to 7.2%; was 6.7% in May

That'll cost about a million dollars in savings to sustain long term, assuming you're invested in the stock market and you withdraw 4% a year ("safe withdrawal rate")

Good luck everybody 😕

I'm not going to get excited about any "deceleration"; this is still an increase. And due to "base effects",¹ we're comparing against high values. Until it's steeply negative it's nothing to get excited about.

¹ year over year measures compare now versus a year ago. if a year ago was unusually high, you'd expect this comparison to revert to the mean over time as the window shifts forward; it could have more to do with what you're comparing to (a year ago) than what's happening today

it crashed the first time I tried to reply to this post

My Nova Scotia home was built by the government in 1990! This entire street was. There's also a little cul-de-sac of co-op rentals. Doesn't that sound like a great idea today?

I love it in principal, but I found it reliable for long term operation. I was trying to use it as part of a home automation setup. Kept it updated, just had to be restarted all the time.

Your experience suggests maybe this isn't true anymore; are you aware of a time when stability was bad and now it's fixed?

I think it might have its place, but that place might be part of calligraphy in an art class.

the sobeys in my area has some decent in-house bread. i can't get a decent loaf of third-party bread off the shelves anymore - it's all wonderbread etc. was really loving dave's killer bread but it's been seemingly replaced by extremely mediocre bread with similar marketing, as if i'm buying the packaging.

not a lot of respect for consumers on display

Yikes. Can you imagine a more soul-crushing job than making marketing posters for the most boring soup possible?

I imagine it goes something like this:

Jim, we've got some ad space. Malls across the world. You're going to use that as a canvas to sell tomato soup. People love tomato soup. Sells itself, by itself. Don't show a grilled cheese near it - we don't sell those and lets face it, tomato soup is not the arm candy in that pairing. Oh, and have fun with it! We're a family. Please have it done by Sunday.
