More tradespeople to build firetrap bungalow sprawls is how we get bankrupt munis like Detroit and not sustainable walkable subway utopias like Manhattan.

Canada:

1. Two big metros get all the love
2. Not enough houses
3. Builders build bungalow sprawl, poorly, but get more money for repairs; and rebuilds after fire torches 2-3 of them.
4. Still not enough houses
5. Now also not enough land
6. Low supply vs high demand

Results: Shitty firetrap car-dependent bungalow sprawl at sky-high prices

Don’t talk to me about 7 floors of firetrap lowboy condo shit. 3 mins to get grandpa down the stairs from L7 to L1 after 3c leaves a candle lit is a joke.

To install gitlab:

1. Yum install omnibus-gitlab

Done.

I’m more concerned about ‘ur’. That city fell apart thousands of years ago.

Most importantly, we need to stop mistaking novelty for innovation and complexity for progress.

Innovation isn’t just creating new features or functionality. In fact, most I’d argue is taking existing features or functions and delivering them for substantially less cost/effort.

Hey SJVN! When you see someone making an obvious spelling mistake, you use [sic] to show you’re leaving the mistake as-is.

Thanks!

Cameras at traffic lights

…cause far more rear-enders than people squeezing the light. It’s a different story: more cash grab than even speed cams, with negative goal achievement.

Oh wait. Even speed cameras aren’t the boon as advertised:

Proponents of automated traffic enforcement (ATE) see it as a solution to improving traffic safety and limiting violent interactions between law enforcement and drivers during minor traffic stops. But there is little evidence that either safety goal is achieved when enforcement is predicated simply on the assessment of financial sanctions. Instead, the evidence shows that traffic injuries and deaths continue to rise and officers continue to use traffic enforcement as a pretext for other investigations, all while state and local governments earn millions of dollars in profits.

(Not a great source, but that’s a money quote)

fallback

That’s the noun. For the verb, it’s “fall back”, with a space.

If this is for a computer, then losing that cable is gonna be hard. If it’s for a phone, then I worry the earphones will be way higher quality than the phone.

And phones without 3.5mm are just cash grabs for big vendors selling battery-radio earphones with shit sound.

2. You can buy DSP earphones with a replaceable cable, but I haven’t found anything cheap that sounds as good as the 3.5mm connection (which means the DSP sucks). So buy a dongle separately, like the Apple one or something of similar quality

I dunno if it’s good quality, but the install process and daily use on this item has been great for me, moving my headset easily between machines through a KVM without issue.

Let me know if it sounds good, OP, or see what others may say in response to this one.

I fully support anything that continues with common, reliable hardware - 3.5mm - and interchangeable parts - so no apple, really.

Removed by mod

Yours will copy a record in your grub config, for every kernel install, because that’s the easiest way to get your ancillary settings. If it’s happening truly every time, then I’ll bet that’s borked somehow.

I ran into this because grub config now needs an additional magical parameter no one mentions, because it manages new bits to create the parts it needs with your old setup to solve no real problem. It could also be keeping a bad root statement and perennially dropping it into every new boot config. Yay! I don’t remember what it was and I’m not at work, but I’ll try to check later and see if I can offer some help.

Failure to run air-gapped backup is just a cherry on top of the “don’t run dev tools in prod, you idiot” sundae.

Comma splice.

\sigh

watch shows with subtitles as it helps with understanding some British accents

If you’ve seen subtitles lately, they used to be pretty bad but now they’re horrible. The mess up on what’s being said a LOT.

Also they spell like a primary drop-out: till, your/you’re, etc.

Sorry it’s a potato. There must’ve been something on my phone lens.

wait! Groundhog day meets Home Alone.

Getting Kevin on the plane is a misstep because we need him to chase off the robbers and the old man.

Genesis’ “The Brazilian”

I thought that was retired for TV after they used it for that really great Magnum PI episode. No really, it was great.

Again, they were running dev tools in prod.

That’s a mistake so dumb, it’s actually in the ISO that tells you how not to be a fuck up.

You don’t run your dev tools in prod.
