For me it’s groups. Several IRL groups I’m part of (sports/recreation/hobby based) use FB for coordination.

What a strange thing for your friend to say.


Why is that? Pub culture is probably deeper there than the drinking culture in America. Just because there are healthy social aspects to it doesn’t mean that it hasn’t rotted over time.


America tried to ban alcohol via amendment and had to unban it. I think we Americans are standing in a bit of a glass house if we go criticizing other country's relationships with alcohol (to say nothing of conflating "pub culture" with some kind of mandatory alcohol consumption).


Sorry where is the criticism?


You're being intentionally dense. No, people don't accidentally post pictures but they often do post them with the intention of showing a certain thing, e.g. profile picture, something for sale, something related to hobbies, household repairs, whatever. All of thse are posted with intent to include a certain object but may include background info that the poster did not consider.


As a developer, I say Air all the way.

Never noticed any thermal issues at all. It barely gets warm for me.

Make sure to get at least 16GB RAM.


I think all Macs come with 16 GB at minimum now, so that should be easy! [1]

I think of SQLite on the server as something that you would use when running in a traditional server (VPS or dedicated host) setup rather than an orchestrated, container-based one.


You say CDN but you're really talking about static web servers in general.


> [Expose] has completely lost any spatial determinism

Could you elaborate on that?


Not the OP, but I never know where a specific application will show up. Sometimes Chrome is on the left and my IDE is on the top right, sometimes it's the opposite. If it relates to the window location, I can't tell. Always mostly the same set of five or six applications, too.


Oh, you all mean when expose or whatever it's called shrinks the windows down and spreads them all out? Yeah, I've never found it a useful way to switch apps if I have more than a couple open. Visually searching for the window I want like that isn't fast for me, and if the windows get too small it's not helpful.


Original Expose ca 2003 minimised windows from their live positions on the regular desktop to thumbnails in a quick and smooth animation and would leave minimised thumbnails at different sizes resembling their relative live sizes and aspect ratio.



Test code by running it.

Test a rocket by launching it.


I would consider these launches test launches. Production is when they include commercial payloads and humans.


In production? I don't disagree that tests 'in production' are sometimes necessary (canary tests), but most of the quirks are often fixed by then.

Honestly I thought they would be live testing fuel exchange in orbit by now. Seems pretty far from it sadly.


That might still happen this year, it’s the next step in the development plan.

What makes these launches “non-production” tests is that they are not carrying any valuable payload. Blowing up rockets like this is exactly what gives the company it’s advantage over competitors who try to anticipate everything during design stages.


There was no real payload on this, so I'd argue it's closer to a QA environment than production.

It's true that other rocket companies are treating launches as production, but SpaceX has always been doing "hardware-rich" testing.


Testing their ability to deploy satellites is a short-term goal that will make them money now. Testing refuelling will be needed for Luna and Mars missions, but that’s a long way off anyway.


Some domains have so many different parties doing different things, you just have to test in production. Rockets are probably one of them.


They had that on the timeline for 2023, so it's reasonable to assume they would do it.


launching a rocket is far more analogulous to shipping a release, than it is running code.


Launching a rocket is far more complex than shipping a release.

It is more like an "all or nothing" process.


> To date, no Starship has been recovered after flight.

This is irrelevant, as none of the flights included any plans to recover the Starship. The objective for each flight has been to dump the vehicle in the sea at the target zone.
