Another one not mentioned is trying to book a trip for e.g. 3 people, but only one item of hold luggage. You just can't do it, you have to add it later in an amend-booking. Jet2's not quite as bad, its possible but difficult.

i've only ever owned a 'Surface Laptop 2' and for the time it was excellent, the keyboard and trackpad were both superior to my macbook pro of the time, the screen was great in both brightness and the 3:2 ratio. it was great value.

from all the comments on here it seems like that model was an anomaly and the rest of the product lineup is often pretty lacking.

the 'silent merging' you're talking about is the c in css

if you're writing class="flex-inline width-30 font-large" it's even worse than inline css because it has an abstraction layer and dependencies.

just write css, tailwind has always been total junk.

There are legitimate problems with using CSS, especially in a large team setting. I think we all have experience with append-only stylesheets. That's what tailwind addresses.

I hired a peugeot something (MPV) to drive in the french alps and it was insanely dangerous.

Driving mountainous switchbacks with very tight corners it was so strict about not wanting to cross the central line that it frequently tried to dump me into either the mountain or over the cliff.

Similarly on straight 2 lane roads where only really the centre was clear of snow and ice it was adamant that I should be driving with 2 wheels in deep snow instead of daring to drive in the middle.

not sure if i'm retarded, but there's not a single mention of xbmc

It's called Kodi now

I've also never seen an ad in windows 11.

I did uninstall all of the weird apps like "News" "Weather" etc.

who's upvoting this, it doesn't say anything at all

Thanks for the feedback, I will work on the updated article and post it soon!

I don't understand the castling part of this - you can move a rook from its starting square and back and castling isn't available - it says that you can determine whether castling is available from the location of the pieces?

If the rook has the king's position, it's never moved. As soon as it moves, it can have any position except the king's.

i think i just misunderstood the writing, it does explicitly say 4bits for castling. the prose around is just describing what castling is - i thought it was implying that you could determine whether castling is possible from the position of the pieces.

He starts out by using 4 bits for castling rights.

Then he introduces the other method (signify that castling is allowed by saying the rook on that side is on the same square as the king) and with that method he doesn't need any extra bits for castling rights.

Edit: it would be better on average to keep the castling bits, and omit the positions of kings and rooks if castling is possible. But that's variable length and it's simply 4 extra bits in the worst case.

It starts off with 4 bits for castling, then optimizes it into a piece swap that takes 0 bits (though the piece swap as written might be flawed).
