And a third one for membership apps.

Market share might be more relevant when we're comparing products with different market sizes.

I reported a security bug, it was all processed very quickly and I got paid. I doubt my situation is unique.

I think it would be the individual companies slowing things down, not the platform.

There's little to no incentive to buy human sized cars usually. Parking costs the same, tolls can cost the same, insurance I have no idea but I don't think size matters, and perhaps more. All of these should be more expensive, much more expensive, for bigger and heavier cars.

One of the worst I've seen was title editorialized from original "Someone: something [x.com]" to just "Something [x.com]".

Not surprised, considering how bad it is. Even the simplest tasks trigger a safety. I couldn't imagine paying for it extra.

My though process:

1. These abstract product visuals are not helping me understand what this software is

2. Wait, it's all about these renders, it's some kind of a joke

3. I don't understand, this can't be real, I need to check comments

Just to add, the regulations you mention aren't even about AC, it's about modifying buildings' "looks". You can still install AC if you figure out where to put the outside unit - roof, balcony, inner yard, ...

Not everyone has the ability to install personal unit where they live, that's true, same way they can't install satellite dishes for example.

Outside air temperature isn't an issue. It's not like people drop dead the moment it hits 40. The problem is that after a few days of that everything is heated up through and you have no place to escape it. That's new and hasn't been happening before.

My favorite renderer of OSM (and possibly other data) https://mapy.com/en/turisticka?x=-3.1744145&y=55.9517954&z=1...

there's an app too, some features are paid, and there are some long-standing bugs, but is otherwise quite fine. I use it when I want a map, not just uniform gray void with roads that is google maps.

Discord threads are just an addon on top of a chat. It's not really a real discussion. And the discord discussions (or whatever it is called) are again flat IIRC? Slack threads are flat. Both are chat platforms first and foremost I would say.

There's another option. Combining both threads and chronological order.

You can have both threaded discussions and chronological ordering of top level comments. It works really well.

These vibes are pretty obvious even with casual use. Weekends are so much better.

This looks super intriguing but also maybe too much. Love that it exists, not sure if I will try it.

That's the same in my native language too I guess. It's used in books, sometimes in media, but not really in any casual setting I would say.

I have mac, typed this --- again --- and nothing? Layout says U.S.

edit: another comment gave a mac shortcut – — - <--- one of these might be it

I've only ever been using "regular" dash, a minus, for that. How do you even type yours? If I ever needed differently-sized dashes (and I don't know the difference between them) I always used wiki to copy them.

(disclaimer: I feel like this obsession with dashes is special to native English speakers, which I'm obviously not)

The flip, I think, is realistic enough. It could be just slower and the speed of turnaround reflect whether the loco needs to turn around. But the slow reverse that can be solved with two locos is a nice upgrade too.
