Peter Steinberger himself says he's just chatting with AI instead of coming up with crazy coding workflows.

Matt has some of the best content on MacBook Neo, enjoyed reading it.

It's interesting that while .yu was killed off, .su (Soviet Union) still exists and you can buy them today.

According to an article from last year, .su might get retired by 2030

I would assume because the Soviet Union had a recognised successor state (being the Russian Federation), where as Yugoslavia did not have a recognised successor state.

The former Yugoslavia had five legally recognized successor states.

And about 14 countries.


More like 11 and a half by now. Or actually 10 and three quarters, depending on how you count. They are tirelessly working on bringing that number down.

You really think they'll stop after 14? Because I do not.

As is the geopolitical relevance and power.

An even superficial ideological orientation toward Marxism-Leninism is also missing.

We’d be living in a different world if Trotsky had succeeded Lenin.

How so? I understand you are talking about Ukrainian and Georgian wars, but even them are hardly an attempt to return to SU days.

I'm not even talking about very limited influence over other ex-USSR republics. It is there but very limited.


It's not just that. Putin and his gang are actively pushing what is now referred to as neo-sovietism:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Sovietism


Yes, but again - this more about their afforts to appeal to a certain part of domestic popularion rather than a fair attempt of rebuilding USSR.

It's more about "ice cream for 47 kopecks" rathan then anything else.


> this more about their afforts to appeal to a certain part of domestic popularion

And yet, more than a million Russian lives alone were sacrificed to make the appeal reality.

Russia, like it or not, is actively busy restoring its older glorious days and unfortunately there is no sign of them coming anywhere near to a point where they can't sustain their losses any more. They're permanently losing upwards of 1000 soldiers per day, and that's not counting the injured, only deaths.


There's no Neo-Sovietism but Duginism. It's a like an even more hardcore version of the Spanish Francoism but a la Slavic way.

They hate science and praise the Orthodox ideology with high statism. And without a country-loving science China it's just getting a luxury present for free themselves.

They will progress like crazy with very little efforth and they could buy Russian assets for scraps.


You're missing Moldova as well.

And yes, Russia keeps invading, hacking, politically pressuring and organising disinformation campaigns to make these ex-USSR countries fall back into Russia's bloody wing.


Sure, but so far this has nothing to do with bringing USSR back.

Yup, just a coincidence.

It's a very different kind of addiction.

Boarding times are basically not reliable at all. Any time I come 10m after the official boarding time on the ticket there's still a standing line.

My guess is that's because boarding a plane is a little bit like being an extra for a film, it's a hurry up and wait situation. If they printed the exact time boarding starts and people showed up then (and later), no flight would ever board on time. Better for the airline to print an earlier time and have people wait longer, so they can board as quickly as possible. Every minute behind schedule costs the airline money.

AA displays the boarding time in the app instead of the departure time once the flight gets close enough (like same day)

>If they printed the exact time boarding starts and people showed up then (and later), no flight would ever board on time

I don't understand the logic. If everyone is there at the stated boarding time and the airline has correctly allocated enough time for boarding, aren't they winning?


200 people can't board at the same second. Reality is you want orderly boarding over the course of ~ 10-15mins depending on passenger makeup. Crew also need to account for passenger with additional needs, catering recharge, etc

The point is "everyone is there at the stated boarding time" never actually happens IRL, so you give an earlier time.

Yes, and the actual time is probably too close to the official take off time.

But this is why Flighty probably doesn't show it, it's irrelevant.


Just don't try this on Ryan Air. A good friend got stuck at the airport on a Sunday night after being denied boarding because he waited out the standing line sitting on a bench right by the gate. As soon as the last person standing walked through the checkpoint the gate crew closed the gate -- and completely ignored my friend when he showed up 10 seconds later.

How did his actual boarding time match up with the contractually agreed boarding close time?

Most budget airlines pull this crap but I've started pushing back especially when it's poor weather outside and they expect us to wait in the rain just to improve their metrics

They need some EU261 denied boarding threats/claims to sort them out


I disagree. I live in Lisbon and the local airport is in a pretty bad condition these days. It's helpful to be able to get a general view.

I've seen many developers who released the same app on both iOS and Android and realized that Apple platforms still provide them with 80% of revenue for 20% of users.

Not that many people on Android are willing to pay $60 for an app.


Developing for Android is also a much worse developer experience than developing for iOS, because there are thousands of devices to support, and much greater stratification of operating system customizations and older versions.

https://dontkillmyapp.com/ is just one example of the kind of problems app developers face on Android


Yeah, iOS would never kill an app in the background to try and save battery

IOS it's work at killing apps that android. Some software manufacturers in android allow you to bypass it in the settings.

A bit similar to Lex, which I love using for writing, but bringing any doc over is very useful.

Yeah Im aware of Lex. I think it falls short in a lot of ways. If you have ideas of how Revise could improve for writing, please email me your thoughts art@revise.io

Not sure why anyone would bother to go through this. > Thanks to the truly horrendous amounts of web scraping these days by unscrupulous AI companies, the Cheapskate's Guide has been forced to block the entire Internet. But fear not! Humans still have an easy way of accessing this most excellent site.

The more I learn about all the frameworks for Windows, the more I believe they should have just switched to web development. Make it native to the platform, fork Electron to enable Edge runtme with some shared resources, and then they'd have a more thriving app ecosystem at least.
