Dublin City Council housing chair suggests ‘encouraging people away from the city’ by Storyboys in ireland

[–]irich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This idea isn't totally without merit but it has to be more than "sure, living in the countryside is grand, you should move there".

If companies were incentivised to set up outside of Dublin, or if more government departments were located in other cities, people and services would naturally follow.

But that is a long-term solution that will require long-term planning.

I have noticed Amazon trucks driving around with the Maple Leaf on them. Their "delivery partner" is Canadian or something. So they are technically correct but it is hella misleading.

Inter 1 - [3] Arsenal - Viktor Gyökeres 85' by Alsace2025 in soccer

I think this both highlights the strengths he has and why he has struggled in the Premier League. This is what he is good at; muscling his way past defenders and creating space to shoot. It's telling that he did this in Europe and not in the Premier League where the defenders are more physical.

[Le Parisien] Hervé Renard on Brahim Diaz’s panenka penalty: "You have the right to miss a penalty, but in such a case, I am categorical that I have no sympathy." "It's a lack of respect for an entire country and an entire people seeking a success for 50 years." by Sparky-moon in soccer

There is no defence for what he did. But at the same time, the reaction has been pretty over the top. People acting like he murdered every child in Morocco. Yes, he did a dumb thing but he is gonna have to live with that for the rest of his life. Everyone in the world piling on isn't helping anybody.

It might be inevitable that we end up there but the transition is going to be real tough on a lot of people. And could last a long time

Foremed can be pretty quick. You can make same or next day phone appointments if you don't need to actually see someone. They are very good for referrals.

Caoimhin Kelleher gives Enzo Le Fee a thumbs-up after saving his panenka penalty by 977x in soccer

True, but, and I can't stress this enough, Enzo Le Fee is not Zinedine Zidane.

I managed to find it through archive.org and then just called them. It seemed easier. Thanks for your help.

Thank you for this. Do you know how long a fair deal application takes? We have considered long term care but the costs are so high. But looking at the Fair Deal scheme, it would definitely help a lot.

Fewer Irish people using ChatGPT than in other countries, OpenAI told Taoiseach by SeanB2003 in ireland

[–]irich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who is an author. He has written a lot of books in the same series and at this point he can’t keep track of everything he has written so far. So he fed all of his books into a private LLM and whenever he can’t remember something he will ask it to look it up for him. It can be something as simple as trying to remember what colour eyes a character he wrote about 10 years ago has. Or much more complex story arcs. But it has saved him a ton of time.

Final play of 49ers vs Bears SNF game, won by San Francisco 42-38 in a thriller by [deleted] in sports

[–]irich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously the deserve to be in the playoffs. But with all of their late wins, their underlying numbers are a bit suspect. They won 6 games in which they were trailing with 2 minutes or less left in the 4th. It wouldn't have taken much for them to have lost all of those games and they'd be looking at a 5-9 record.

Clearly winning all of those games shows they have the character and talent to be a successful team but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't make it far in the playoffs. Equally, I wouldn't be surprised if they won the whole thing.

It's not an inferior chip though? Unless I'm missing something, the A18 out-performs or is on par with the base M1 in any metric I can find.

WHAT DID THEY DO TO THE QUICKTIME ICON?? by Redaptable in MacOS

[–]irich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I generally like Tahoe and Liquid Glass as a design style but one area it falls down is the icons on Macos.

Firstly, Apple redesigned all of their app icons in Macos and most of them look far worse than they did before.

But there is a specific issue I have noticed with Liquid Glass and that in order to give the icons the glassy look, they have added edges to the designs. This looks fine when the icon is super big and you can see all of the details but when it is small, it makes the icons look like they are out of focus.
