Because that’s been the user convention for 30 years since the day Mac OS 10 was released.

People do not want to manage scripts and configurations in esoteric locations. They want to drag and drop app bundles into the trash from the apps folder.

This is trivially found out after 5 minutes with a user.

KDE does this well though, just make the configuration system modular so in settings you can download, install and manage someone else's windowing and styling from within the system settings panel. Perhaps that wouldn't work so well outside Linux's trust ecosystem

But the parent poster wasn’t recommending a script or a configuration, they were sharing a really easy way to do it by clicking a checkbox in the Settings App.

They’re not going back to VPS setups sadly, the article is about deploy button dollar siphons like Vercel, Render, Netlify

Being further north does have some advantages. If the panels are angled more to get a better view of the sun they will also be better at shedding snow loads.

There was a recent discussion here on vertical panels. The data was better than I’d have guessed.

The amount of power you get from panels in winter is pathetically low with or without snow.

Bernie Sanders is not a democrat or liberal, he is a democratic socialist who specifically runs as an independent.

That normal liberals are so deeply associated with his ilk by the national electorate to the point Harris was considered more radical than Trump is a whole can of worms in itself.

Over a decade of domestic pop geopolitical thought explicitly describing these circumstances as a win condition for the USA. This strain of American ascendance has been blackpilled onto this path since Obama.

“Rogue Superpower” is said while feigning dismay and hiding unadulterated glee. Peter Zeihan has millions and millions of views.

“I personally don’t think that’s true, and it upsets me you believe it’s true” isn’t really an argument though.

What are they making that would intimidate China, that China doesn’t already?

Combat-proven software that helps put warheads on foreheads in compressed timescales. I'm not talking about development projects or what could happen, I'm referring to applications that are being used right now.

There's a massive difference between something in a lab or in a paper presentation and code that is running in production and provably works. There are lots of individuals pushing up daisies that would attest to the effectiveness of Palantir's applications if they could still speak.

The Netherlands has 2x as much land as the Tri State area with 1-2 million fewer residents.

Those are US state legislators. We have 7,386 of them. Sometimes a few wander outside during their election races.

You could easily fit that delegation into New Hampshire’s House of Representatives of 400 seats.

Meanwhile it’s more than double California’s total state legislature size of 120 seats.

It’s fun!

Still a strangely high number.

Imagine 250 representatives all going to a country with a similar population. It'd be mighty strange if 250 representatives from across the US went to Kyrgyzstan. Frankly, I'd find it strange if 250 went next door to Mexico all in the same year and that's a directly neighboring country that's actually relevant to US interests and the US's single biggest trade partner. Israel gets some sort of special treatment and it's really, really weird. It's treated with higher reverence than any state within US borders is.

This is actually easily explained by Israel having an intimate role in US foreign policy and culture for the past 80 years instead of being a majority Muslim constituent republic of the Soviet Union!

Korea, Japan, UK, Mexico, Canada, etc all are tightly entwined with the US and its culture. The first 3 had major roles in opposing the USSR. Politicians aren't taking trips to any of those countries en masse. Nobody is having their visas canceled for criticizing any of those countries. No college is losing funding if someone complains about those countries.

None of those countries are currently committing genocide, their lands were settled long ago!

You sure are asking uncomfortable questions, better ignore or divert that

Sure. Let's ignore the country with the biggest source of immigrants to the US and largest modern cultural and demographic influence. We can move the goalpost and go with those examples.

When was the last time 250 representatives visited any of those countries?

(This is also an account that exclusively posts defending Israel)

None of which has anything to do with which countries politicians feel most comfortable visiting. If the political class felt much affinity with Mexico (rightly or wrongly), I imagine that there would be much less talk of a border wall. Clearly they do not feel the same way about Canada.

I doubt that there are recorded numbers just for politicians, but these are all popular destinations for Americans in general. Now, if there's something else odd about this statistic other than just the number you want to point out, that's a different story.

That package’s churn single handledly changed my career path during the days of react 0.x away from FE. I think it was on v2 or v3?

I still feel anger hearing its name the better part of a decade later.

It’s $0.08 for every $1 at retail rates, from the powerwalls, regardless of time or market prices?
