The original cities skylines had atrocious performance after a certain city size as well, especially on hardware available at launch. Hopefully they can deliver on better performance over the next few months, I expect it to improve before they do their console release.
No, it’s because you can trace at least some of this specific problem directly back to British imperial rule in the middle east.
I think you’re misreading it. In the same way as there are people that need to ride on planes (for example for their job, or to move to where they have a job, etc), there are people that need to use social media.
For example, if you own an online store you really need to have a social media presence. Same if you are an artist, and live off of commissions. I’m sure there are plenty more examples.
I try to live by the rule of I would rather be alive than dead. Being “right” is no consolation when you’re in a hospital bed dying.
The same goes for cars and especially bikers. You may be right, but being right doesn’t stop the giant SUV next to you from flattening you.
The whole point of this sub is advocating for changing that and getting rid of car centric development.
Registering to vote is pretty normal. You might not have to because the government already has records of you and that is the same in America for a lot of people. For immigrants in Europe you still have to register!
If you change municipality or state in Europe you might also have to register again so they have you voting in the right local elections.
I find the wait times have gone up as they prioritise both drive thru and delivery options ahead of people actually at the counter.
I would disagree with a big part of this characterization. Specifically that prices are out of control beyond housing (which is completely fucked), but outside of that Canada has done better than most comparable countries when it comes to inflation over the last few years.
Taxes are not that crazy unless your only comparison is the US, which is a bad comparison.
I mostly agree with this but more than shorter code I value readability, I would rather take 3 lines to be clear to any developer than use some obscure or easy to misunderstand structure to write it in 1.
I just hope it works so that people can shut up with the high speed rail only works in other places garbage. Just tell them to go visit california and see how good it is… Only works if they finish it so I hope they do.
But without main population centres is it going to be done successfully? Imo they should have started with one of the ends, so that at least there is a big trip destination.
Too late for that now and I really hope it works out and we get a good example for north american high speed rail projects to point to despite everything.
It’s 90% on gen z with investments, the article has a link to the survey they’re getting the data from (or at least another article with more specific numbers about the survey)
Its a shame because it is something I am actually really good at, and now it’s a completely useless skill!
Whatever helps you sleep at night I suppose
“The Great Slump was an economic depression” the first paragraph on that Wikipedia page once you fix your link.
If we exclude mixed economies and state capitalist countries we are left with basically looking at historic record so let’s do that.
There were recessions in 15the century England, not a capitalist economy at all! There was also a recession in Rome in 33 AD as well if you want to look back further. This is just from 5 minutes of googling.
It is not possible to have an economy that never contracts, just to have one where it happens nowhere near as frequently as our current systems and with far better outcomes for most people.
Honestly I can’t think of a single European language where it is the case. German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, Basque… none of them sound like airplane.
This is the original picture from the artists twitter. Not sure if it’s my screen but it seems less yellow but I don’t think there is a version that is not a bit yellow. You might be able to ask the artist if they have the files and make your own edit though!
This is exactly my experience as well. It doesn’t help that my peripherals are purchased based on if they work with windows so half the functionality is missing on linux, and I’m not about to go buy new ones.
That and fixing any issue can be such a frustrating experience because when you search you end up with fixes for every distro except yours, or the fix for your distro that worked 5 years ago but now doesn’t.
My current forray into linux is going well except for taking all day to configure the dual boot though, so maybe some things have gotten better!
Assuming you are talking about in the US, shelter is included in inflation calculations. You can argue about the methodology, but the cost of having a home is in there and does contribute to inflation. It is about 30% of the overall basket.
