I don't think your comparison to Framework is justified since 1) they made a headphone jack expansion module that's available along with all the other ports and 2) the Framework 16 has 6 expansion bays instead of 4. If you need a headphone jack you get a 25% increase in configurable ports, and if you don't need one you get a 50% increase in ports. Plus, you can easily switch between those two cases.

I'm always frustrated when a game or service says to check out their Discord for information. Discord is a confusing mess of chat channels, and while it can certainly be useful in (near-)realtime interactions, I can't imagine trying to look up longer-lived information, like what they're trying to use it for. Make a forum, or a blog, or use a subreddit, but not Discord.

I think the most recent case of this was the game Terra Invicta, where I saw a tangential reference somewhere to some coming updates to the game, and a game rep said to check their Discord for more details. No thanks.

Adding more light rail wherever it makes sense is definitely a good plan (and should happen), but improving bus networks gives a lot more bang for the buck than focusing only on light rail. Features like off-board fare collection (paying at the bus stop, not on the vehicle), bus signal priority (extending greens and shortening reds as buses approach traffic lights), and dedicated bus lanes all improve the overall speed of buses and therefore the overall rider experience. Expanding the prevalence of these features should be a priority everywhere, particularly on higher-ridership routes.

"Artificial General Intelligence" (AGI) seems to be the new term for what used to be considered AI.

I'm sure they'll move the goalposts once again whenever "AI" stops bringing in the money and the VCs/Wall Street get ridiculously focused on "AGI" startups and scammers.

What is Tiblur? There's no explanation given in the post and the link is to a sign-in/amount creation page, also with no explanation.

But does it still support the first-gen iPhone?

This article is from 2017. I'm sure it would have been useful at the time, but it's not covering present-day JavaScript.

Or the comment sections could just be merged together in the client view. Each thread of comments would belong to one (and only one) instance, so it shouldn't be difficult to merge those lists together when presenting the aggregate view to the user.

There is another option:

• Downsize the office to better fit with the number of people who do actually want to be in the office, either full or part time, and don't cause a huge ruckus about people who prefer to work remotely.

At my job, most people are in the office 2-3 days a week, but there are a few who are there nearly every day. We also have some people who are remote/WFH, including a few who are remote even though they live very near by.

That's unfortunate.

Instead of requiring an insurance selection or defaulting to one specific instance, perhaps they could have a handful of moderate/large instances that the app randomly selects between when a user signs up. That would spread out the signups from people who don't understand the instances.

We could always move Veteran's Day to September but then establish Armistice Day on 11 November, which is what the rest of the world calls that day. Net result would be one more federal holiday (just with some renaming).

Or, we could mess things up by leaving Labor Day and Veteran's Day alone and adding "Armistice Day" in May. :)

I wouldn't say that the Expanse books are "significantly better" than the show - they're both fantastic, and both have bits where they're better than the others (for example, the books have more characters and storylines, plus the arc of the last three books, while the show is amazingly well adapted and in many ways is a second revision of the overall story).

I'm still holding out hope for seasons 7-9 happening at some point in ~5 years. Assuming it's adapted at the same level as the prior seasons, seeing the final trilogy on screen will be epic!
