I have mine! Good to see other operators. Check out 44Net - right up our alley!

On: Payment fees matter more than you think

[apple4ever]

You do when someone else uses your card there

If the payment method is skimmer resistant then they cannot use my payment method...

Also my entire point is that I don't need a card, paying with an app would be acceptable.

On: MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max

[apple4ever]

I am coming from a 2020 iMac 27", and waiting for the M5 Mac Studio. I thought about upgrading last year, but I didn't really have the money. But now I do!

On: Why Objective-C

[apple4ever]

It really is really awesome! It's what I write in when I want to use it on Linux.

GNUStep is stuck in 1995 sadly.

On: Why Objective-C

[apple4ever]

I never have to miss Objective-C because I still write in it! I never hopped on the Swift train because I saw it as an inferior language to Objective-C. And a decade later I'm more sure of that. It's such a joy to still write in an amazing language. Yes I use Python too and that is a joy. But nothing like Objective-C.

What a great defense of middle managers. I need to steal this!

On: I Like GitLab

[apple4ever]

I like GitLab but hate their pricing. Both as a personal user and a corporate user I'd love to give them money but their pricing is outrageous.

On: Miami, your Waymo ride is ready

I did the same in the Bay Area this week, and had the same experience as you. Not that I hate human drivers, but sometimes it was nice after being around people all day to just have some personal space. And my trips were also around your length and similarly uneventful. I definitely can't wait til they are around my area.
