Why are there any errors in the generated code?

I had been a Netflix subscriber back from the DVD days and then into when they started streaming. I think the first price increase I continued my subscription, but the second I cancelled. That was probably prior to 2020. Haven't missed it.

I just recently dropped Disney+ and Hulu from my ESPN unlimited subscription because the promo price ended and Disney/ESPN failed to send out a reminder email that the price was increasing. At least SiriusXM has the decency to send out a reminder email for the subscription increasing in price so you can go haggle a lower price.

For now.

And when a Linux distro bumps a dependency that Node requires on without updating Node to use the updated dependency, then Pi doesn't start.

Yes.

Splitting out a project into multiple crates reduces what needs to be recompiled during development. I tend to break out areas of my application that aren't going to change regularly so I'm only having to rebuild the main application.

In a production scenario where you're probably building your application in some CI environment, unless you cache the release build artifacts to re-use when applicable, the entire project will be rebuilt every run.

Are you sure?

Re:Don't make me talk to your chatbot on Tuesday March 03, 2026 @07:44PM (#47241436)
The only Chatbot I've semi-enjoyed interacting with was SiriusXM during my latest yearly try to cancel dance they make you go through. Usually this was a 45 minute to an hour phone call with Customer Support to eventually get a cheaper rate and continue service.

This last time, it sent me to a Chatbot. In five minutes, I got a cheaper rate than I was previously paying. I'm sort of looking forward to the next interaction to see if I can get even cheaper rates or finally cancel the service.

How much of this code was actually reviewed? Doing a quick glance through some of the features being touted around SSO, there are a few vulnerabilities, and wonder if these actually work and have been tested with different providers.

* I say this as an engineer who has supported an authentication platform for years for a SAAS company and know not one IdP has implemented SAML the same as others.

Re:Oregon expands electric vehicle charging statewide on Sunday June 05, 2022 @09:12PM (#31636431)
The first time I filled up in Oregon after moving into the state, the attendant pulled the nozzle out of my truck while it was still filling up. Gas all over my truck and the ground. The manager came up and apologized, saying it was his first day on the job. The kid was probably still in high school, and the first day he ever had to fill a car up.

And there I was sitting in my truck realizing I had about over 25 years "job" experience for what this kid was doing, and I had never done that.

Signal not as strong as previous iPhone 6. Drops to 4G more often in town when this never happened with my iPhone 6.

Since iOS 12.1 update, wireless will just stop sending/receiving data while still showing connection. I will now sporadically lose all cellular signal, until I turn airplane mode on/off, then back to 3 bars.

I've only seen 4 bars on this phone once, at the AT&T store when they gave me a new sim card. Promptly went back to 3 bars when I left the store.

Now if they would just admit the Intel modem in the iPhone Xs is garbage.
