Applying the 'one thing well' bumper sticker to a web browser, which does a million things in a mediocre fashion, is a bizarre take. Not only is that whole comparison inapplicable, it's orthagonal to the point. You can do 'one thing well' and open source the code too, but you're not, and this post does not explain why.
I agree, this seems like a lot of really excellent work from someone with a completely different pancake baseline than I have. The word 'crispy', in my world, has no business applying to pancakes. That's what bacon is for.
Good to know - I used to have a crispness slider but I removed it since I loved the pancakes at the current crispness. Contrary to the overcontrasted photo, they actually have just a very fine bit of crisp layer. That said, I know that typical American diner pancakes are very soft through, which means people must enjoy them that way too. I can bring back the crispness if other people like their pancakes soft!
>The word 'crispy', in my world, has no business applying to pancakes
i won't eat pancakes that are not crispy, or that were but were stacked up steaming in a pile till there were enough to serve to everybody at once: nope.
pancakes should be served individually as soon as they come out of the pan, round robin till nobody wants any more.
> So what's the reason for fast entry specifically?
Inclusion in as many indexes as possible is basically the definition of "too big to fail." It's the ultimate de-risk to know that if you fuck up badly enough the government will just give you everyone's money.
I don't think it changed. The claims went from "this isn't an improvement and it's wildly expensive" to "this isn't an improvement, it's wildly expensive, the result sucks, and it does nothing to test the concepts behind Hyperloop," that last bit being part of the original sales pitch.
Asserting that Loop is beating any form of normal rail is a wild claim that I don't think I've ever heard a transit engineer agree with.
In short, I'm not worried about Boring Co continuing good execution, but it would be nice to see Boring Co initiate good execution.
Nobody in my life even notices when they change their 'primary operating system.' They buy a phone based on what looks cool at the time, sometimes it's android, sometimes it's iphone. They move freely between chromebooks, windows, and mac os, because everything is online anyway. It's only 'experts' who have trouble with this.
I'm the IT guy to most of the elderly people in my life, and steadily switching them over to Linux Mint over the years. Fact of the matter is, most of them use their OS as a gateway to their web browser, and don't care to do anything else with it. For many non-technical users, switching OSes is literally a non-thing. The only difference vs Windows is that they call me for assistance way less frequently.
Partly agree. I once installed Firefox with uBlock Origin for someone who was Chrome user on an old PC and complained it was slow when browsing, and they told me that they didn't even know that there were different browsers available.
I have family that would gladly use FacebookOS if such a thing existed and automatically loaded that and only that website as soon as you turn on the computer or phone.
That isn't a matter of human biology. You learned to expect a specific experience when you took pencil to paper at a young age. Other people can learn to expect different experiences. Your acquired habits are not a genetic imperative. All of this post seems like ex post facto justifications for an implicit claim that the tech you grew up with is natural and good and the tech that came later is somehow inimical to life.
