While I broadly agree with your sentiment,

Why can’t you compile Swift outside of MacOS

You can compile Swift on Windows and Linux. There are other tools required to build macOS and iOS-apps bundled with XCode that prevents building those on other platforms, but Swift itself is available standalone.

Dude was worried they would have his head when iPhones started costing $3k

See the One Book-theory from the podcast If Books Could Kill

Because all self-help books are basically the same and they all fit that bill

Pass. I hear China has a lot of spare renewable stuff on discount now that you’re no longer going to be trading with them, we’ll enjoy those instead.

It will go down as the most unforced error in history

I’m convinced doing deadlifts has helped me posturally.

Realistically, people aren’t going to attain their goals trying to do a Twinkie CICO diet though, even though it might be theoretically possible.

I wish people would just move on from posting about CICO already, it’s long since outlived its usefulness as a concept

The best form of exercise for you is the form that you actually do consistently week after week. If this means working out at home, then that’s fine. Given that you’re not trying to break any records, this might just be fine for you.

I’ve done many different forms of working throughout the years, one of which was to work out at home/local outdoor gym. I did this because there were no gyms at what I considered to be a reasonable distance from home, and I considered that to be too much of an impediment to actually get the work done consistently.

I did get stronger from it, and used it as a part of losing weight, which I wanted on account of being overweight at that time.

I’ve since stopped doing that routine and moved to lifting weights at a gym, which I considered attainable since I moved to a place with gyms very close by. I did this because working out at home had basically reached a plateau as far as strength was concerned - lifting weights at a gym will get you stronger at a faster pace.

I think checking out the stuff that Hybrid Calisthenics does could be worthwhile for you. Do some stuff at home for now if that feels better for you, and then evaluate later on if it keeps working for you.

Sweden: Late Spring/Early Summer/Early Autumn, approximately May, June and September.

Temperatures between 15-25 °C, low humidity and lots of hours of daylight (18 hours in early June). Great conditions for biking and just all-round pleasant to be in.

Early Spring is too wet, Late Summer is too hot and humid, and Late Autumn is too wet and dark. Winter sucks, unless it’s an unusually cold year and we get consistent snow coverage. Wet and extremely dark.

If there was a real demand for big pockets, there would be money to make in selling those, and big pocket brands would dominate.

I think you might be giving a bit too much credit to the industry here.

There used to be pockets on women’s clothes - or more accurately, you tied them on yourself as they came separately from the clothes - but they fell out of fashion as handbags became the fashion statement that said: look - I’m not poor enough to have to have pockets.

Very dumb, but it is what it is.

What baffles me now is that pockets on women’s clothes haven’t made a comeback yet. How asleep at the wheel are fashion designers?

As others mentioned it’s diminishing returns, but there’s still a lot of good innovation going on in the codec space. As an example - the reduction in the amount of space required for h265 compared to h264 is staggering. Codecs are a special form of black magic.

Fucking losers

NOW WITH FLAVOR!

Without actually knowing how much constructing the physical buttons cost, I would guess that the real savings are in process optimization - if all you have for the interface is a screen, then you don’t need to have the interface design done before constructing the car - you can parallelize these tasks.

Insufficient as far as justifications go, but understandably lucrative.

Anything Turing-complete is a powerful tool, but the reason people are reacting negatively is because of how much of the wrong tool it is.

• Does an excel-based solution offer adequate runtime performance? No
• Does an excel-based solution offer adequate write concurrency? No
• Does an excel-based solution offer appropriate data durability guarantees? No

Basically the only saving grace of Excel-based solutions is that they are built in tools that finance workers comprehend, and that is quite simply not enough. To base systems at this scale on Excel is criminally negligent.

Misread the title as “cringe theories”, which I guess still holds to be honest

The license gets paid to the main company, and hence not buying from their brands indirectly will hurt said brands, at least in the long term.

Incredibly weird thing to say with Russia just having spent around 2 decades routinely violating our airspace at Gotland, and with them quite literally cutting up our undersea cables in the Baltic on a weekly basis.

You might be looking for a handcart. Popular during medieval times, and among Mormon pioneers.
