I read that airbnb lead to rents rise, because it made it so easy for landlords to run their property like hotels. I don’t use them, and kind of think lowly of people that are like “well it’s convenient so i don’t care”.

“death and life of great American cities” by Jacobs talks about this. The suburban mode where everything is car focused and isolated is really bad. Having spaces with foot traffic and community is much better for people.
Feels like they should be able to view the software and hardware controlling the odometer, and if it’s doing anything suspicious.
I wonder if they’ll actually do anything if they find Tesla is doing fraud. Feel like everyone who OK’d the decision should be barred from working in the industry for life, and made to forfeit everything they gained while doing the fraud.
While I’m making magical wishes, I’d also like Musk and all of his followers to choke to death.
I was hoping you had some insight and revelations about how to use Finder.
Please. Elaborate.
People that work at microsoft could stop this. With means gentler than “Crack open the CEO’s skull with a hammer”, too.
Zuckerberg put in his will “Anyone who kills me gets a billion dollars”. Bold move, but apparently legal!
If those two shitheads said we should drink more water I’d check with other sources first.
Fuck them. I hope they both die for what they’ve done
Everyone involved in this decision should be shot.
What happened to all the republicans crying about “government shouldn’t be picking winners and losers”? Oh right, they’re hypocritical little shits that should be in the ground.
So tired of everything trash because like a third of the country has less emotional maturity than a toddler.
Who ratted the teacher out? Why are they sleeping soundly at night?
Sidebar defaults are bad. There’s no home directory. How do you get to your home directory? Cmd+shift+H, but can you get there without that special shortcut? You can’t see the file system’s structure in Finder. The GUI doesn’t have a way to go “up” in the directory structure. I don’t think you can do it in the GUI alone.
It won’t let you see stuff in like \tmp\ without a fight, too. I don’t know how to open stuff in places like that without cd
’ing to the location in the terminal, and doing open .
in the desired directory.
The list view is the least bad, but it gets unwieldy if your directories are deeply nested. It’s also bad if you started in the middle of the tree and want to go up. Gallery and column view are really bad for anything non trivial.
I often want to see the entire file path, and it really doesn’t want to cooperate. If I do find the file I’m looking for, and want the full path, it doesn’t want to give it. I don’t even know if there is a way to get it. Other than like cmd+clicking -> “new iterm2 tab here” -> pwd
, which is not really that helpful of Finder.
Contrast with windows’ default explorer. It’s not perfect and I think windows11 made it worse, but still. Open it up, there’s the “my pc”, click through to my user directory, music, some album, then i can click the top thing and get the path. I can also see the whole tree on the left.
Whatever I was using in Mint was similar to windows’ Explorer. Had no complaints about it.
I guess most everyone else that works at microsoft is cool with this.
Saint Luigi guide us.
What. What?? Finder is the fucking worst. It doesn’t have a sensible tree view, does it?
I think everywhere I’ve worked has said “we have 20% time for tech debt” but has never actually done that. It’s always “we need to ship this by end of week” and “the CEO wants us to add the thing we said we’d cut so we could make the deadline”.

Right. You can’t pick the lesser evil in the election today, then go do nothing, and expect good outcomes.
Harm reduction has a place but it’s not the whole solution
At one of my old jobs, we had a suite of browser tests that would run on PR. It’d stand up the application, open headless chrome, and click through stuff. This was the final end-to-end test suite to make sure that yes, you can still log in and everything plays nicely together.
Developers were constantly pinging slack about “why is this test broken??”. Most of the time, the error message would be like “Never found an element matching css selector #whatever” or “Element with css selector #loading-spinner never went away”. There’d be screenshots and logs, and usually when you’d look you’d see like the loading spinner was stuck, and the client had gotten a 400 back from the server because someone broke something.
We put a giant red box on the CI/CD page explaining what to do. Where to read the traces, reminding them there’s a screenshot, etc. Still got questions.
I put a giant ascii cat in the test output, right before the error trace, with instructions in a word bubble. People would ping me, “why is this test broken?”. I’d say “What did the cat say?” They’d say “What cat?” And I’d know they hadn’t even looked at the error message.
There’s a kind of learned helplessness with some developers and tests. It’s weird.
Every time I see this I think about opportunity costs. What got skipped in favor of this dubious effort?

I imagine there are some “written in blood” laws and regulations that apply to hotels that airbnb is ignoring, too. That should also be addressed.
