Dynamic pricing can’t be done legally in many states because prices on shelves have to match at checkout, and multiple people can see a label at once.

This happens all the time, people always doubt it - but the patterns are always consistent: large updates kill hardware that's in progress of failing

Xcode download is only a couple GBs

12-20 GB, and only that if you don't want to run software on any iOS simulator.

Xcode 26.2 is a 2.1GB download, which expands to 8.63GB on disk, which includes the macOS SDK. The iOS SDK and simulators are another 8.38GB. Luckily Xcode versions can share iOS SDKs now, so you only need to install them once. Really the biggest disk eater is Xcode's default behavior of creating a huge set of simulators for every platform.

At 8.6gb of disk usage, they could include the entire macOS Mojave ISO disk image[0] and still have ~930 MB to include fit the IDE. It's just unprecedented.

You’re counting the development SDK against the IDE. Xcode itself doesn’t require that space, and you’d need that space regardless of IDE choice if you were targeting the platform.

Indeed, and unless that changed since, the Mac downloader isn't even capable of resuming downloads properly so if anything happens while you download these 13GB, it's back to square one.

For years, my team uses the third-party tool `xcodes`... `brew install xcodes` or use the [GUI](https://www.xcodes.app/).

It allows you to easily install and maintain several versions of Xcode (beta / RC versions).

And, more importantly, uses aria2 for HTTP download, which has resumability.


Now this is the stuff that Apple should be Sherlocking, but doesn't.

The comment is wrong, the download is ~2 GB

PRs should be atomic, if they need to be separated for reverting, they should be multiple PRs.

I mean for most purposes should be very similar so makes sense the price is similar


Reduction in premiums doesn’t mean reduction in profit.


It generally does. If accidents (and payouts) drop by 90%, revenue will ultimately drop and profits will follow. Profit margins may increase, but total profit $$ will likely drop.


Aren't insurance profits capped to some percentage of revenue in most jurisdictions by law?


Yes, this is true - but it’s still beneficial enough to have fewer claims. Claims incur cost in many ways and running a business with fewer claims would be more predictable and likely worth the minimal trade off.


> Standard GitHub-hosted or self-hosted runner usage on public repositories will remain free. GitHub Enterprise Server pricing is not impacted by this change.


Because that implies that String is a random access collection. You cannot constant-time index into a String, so the API doesn't allow you to use array indexing.

If you know it's safe to do you can get a representation as a list of UInt8 and then index into that.


My understanding is they both have their strengths. If you want to build everything yourself, Hummingbird seems like the way to go but Vapor is more batteries-included.


Most cases we see here do only lock the media side of accounts. It’s concerning this blocked the entire account.
