The majority of users aren’t contributors though. It’s fine to mention it in contributor documentation but I find it weird to advertise it as an end-user feature given most apps written in other languages don’t do this.

It’s also a floating signifier for a lot of things.

Like what

small minority of Rust programmers who are very loud

They also list “written in Rust” as the primary feature of software they write, even though the majority of users don’t care as long as it works properly.

and they kept denying there was an issue, until there was so much proof that they couldn’t deny it any more and were like “okay fine there’s an issue so we’re going to be extra generous and extend your warranty one whole year”

Do you have any suggestions for fridge brands? A coworker suggested Jennair but they’re quite expensive.

Frigidaire French door fridge/freezer. Nice looking unit that came with the house. It has horrible design flaws though. Frigidaire literally invented the first self-contained fridge in the 1920s so I don’t understand why they’re so bad at building them.

One of the known design issues is that (at least on older models) there’s insufficient insulation between the ice maker and the rear of the fridge. This eventually results in condensation and ice forming on the back of the fridge. A web search for “Frigidaire ice on back” and “Frigidaire rust on back” will find plenty of people reporting the same thing.

The annoying thing is that the lines for the water dispenser and icemaker run right across this part, and they end up frozen inside the ice.

First time I noticed this was when the water dispenser stopped working a few months after we bought the house. Pulled the fridge out and the water lines were frozen, and it had made a mess of the wall (the drywall where the ice was was all broken - I guess drywall doesn’t like ice being pressed against it all the time).

I tried insulating it with some Styrofoam, but that was no match for the ice - the ice started forming on top of the Styrofoam instead. Now I’ve re-routed all the water lines so as to avoid the spot that freezes. I’ll get a new fridge eventually. Waiting for a good sale. For now, I’m wondering if I should spray foam it, or if the ice will also defeat that and form on top of the spray foam…

People started encountering this issue maybe 10 years ago. Frigidaire used to offer a “sweat kit” (some sort of fancy insulation) to fix it, but they no longer offer it. I also don’t think they ever fixed this issue under warranty for anyone.

Thanks. Same energy as people in Florida/Texas that want undocumented immigrants deported, except for their gardener and cleaner because they’re “the good ones”.

Is this guy famous or something? Why is he in the news?

I know very little about crypto other than the theory behind it. What does XMR do differently?

They’re a public company and have shareholders… How would they sell it under-the-table?

untraceable

Literally every transaction is stored in a public ledger that anyone can read. That’s not exactly untraceable. Eventually someone will convert the Bitcoin to regular currency, which then links the transaction chain to the real world. Transactions can be clustered based on accounts at exchanges, and often patterns emerge once you do this. This is how some ransomware groups are uncovered.

I hate that a lot of coupons are hidden in the supermarket’s app. At least that’s the case for Safeway. Some coupons are advertised on the price tag, but some aren’t on the price tag, nor pop up if you add the item to the cart on your phone. You need to go to the coupons section in the app and search for one, or scan the barcode of the product to look for coupons for it. I’m not doing that for every item in my cart. Waste of time.

I mean, either they sell it and the buyer has to comply with the law, or they don’t sell it.

I agree about pedestrians, but cars changing lanes should to be aware of their surroundings, including cars that are approaching them.

Cars accelerating at unreasonable rates

How do you define “unreasonable” though, especially with EVs that can accelerate quickly?

Prima facie evidence of unnecessary exhibition of speed shall be squealing or screeching sounds emitted by the tires, or the throwing of dirt by the tires of the vehicle, or both

EVs can accelerate quickly while not making much noise… I guess it’s okay to quickly accelerate with an EV then?

They’re likely going to be sold, not shut down. Whoever buys the company takes on the responsibility.

If they actually shut down then it shouldn’t be an issue since they’d almost certainly erase everything.

They’re a California-based company so under the CCPA they must delete your data upon request.

What? That’s illegal?

I used number 5 throughout high school and university and they always served me well. Sometimes I thought about trying the fancier ones with gel grips, but old reliable BIC was always there for me. I trusted the BIC. In a world of uncertainty, the BIC will never let you down (or run around and desert you)
