Also you can see much farther between cars. I usually ride switching left of the lane to right of the lane occasionally, to create lateral movement so car drivers will notice more (one hopes).

I am really interested in Sous Vide cooking. But cooking meat in plastic bags turns me off.

Went through the whole article. Tried out some commands.

I haven't 'got' it yet. I am sure I will after some regular use.

But being a long time Magit user, its hard to move to anything else.

Hmm. Here I thought it was about a special martial art variant for chair bound developers !

Sad thing is Perl6/Raku is a nice kitchen-sync language with some pretty sophisticated constructs!

Unfortunately it has no mind-share.

Low effort Youtube shorts with AI voice annoy the crap out of me.

After all this hype, they still can't do text to speech properly. Pause at the wrong part of the sentence all the time.

From what I had read in passing and remember.

  - They were loud (sonic booms were nasty).

  - They were expensive to maintain and operate. Guzzlers. (Britain and France clung to them as a matter of pride/ego)

  - They were narrow and uncomfortable. I have seen videos where there is space only for one stewardess to walk. I had been inside of one in Seattle museum. Very cramped.

  - As you mentioned, ticket cost was high.

  - I suspect people traveled in these mostly for bragging rights.

You made this point in passing, but it's so relevant to LLMs I wanted to highlight it: The development and operational cost was heavily subsidized by the British and French governments, because having an SST was a point of national prestige.

This sounds very nice!

We also have Microsoft authentication that displays a number on the browser and asks you to enter in on the device! :-(

My company also uses MS auth + 2fa for everything. Even signing into corporate G-suite :-). But I do not like the Microsoft Authenticator - I previously had issues where it would not show the number - and I was able to switch to a different TOTP provider. It’s a bit buried in the menus but possible

Unless they have explicitly disabled it even m365 has the option to add a totp 2fa method. Might be worth double checking.

>Forsyth was a staunch supporter of Brexit, becoming a patron of Brexit campaign group Better Off Out, and wrote of his scepticism of climate change in his Daily Express column.

Nobody is perfect :-(
