I made the switch from a Pixel 2XL to a 7 last year, and dang, the 2XL was better in most every respect. Fingerprint access with the 2 worked 99% of the time on the first try vs. about 10% (probably being generous) on…
Ironically, the doorbell was the thing that wasn't an Amazon product and wasn't disabled. ;-) And yes, I recanted on the 'firing" part, but I still feel that Amazon's "resolution" here was weak-sauce compared to the…
It's a separate video on his channel which is probably a better listen than this one. This one is a bit of conjecture, perhaps true. The other has been validated by multiple sources, AFAICT. Short summary - Someone had…
Sure, but if you try it out, you pretty quickly realize it's a hallucination. Unfortunately the type of GPT content we're now getting on Stack Overflow and its sibling sites is mostly unvalidated GPT hallucinations.
Agree with the middle part - At the moment, the policy implemented by corporate is "Don't ask; don't tell". If someone says they used GPT or other AI for their answer, it's disallowed. If they try to hide the fact,…
And there's the problem on SO. Previously, we could do exactly that - Flag the content for a Mod to review. Now Mods are pretty much prevented from taking any action when we (the community members) and they believe it…
People seem to be attributing "bad intent" here that may not have occurred. In my experience, situations like this occur quite often for various "good intention" reasons. Usually they are resolved before there's an…
Quoted from some source or are you just extremely quotable. Serious question - That is a great viewpoint!
You seem to be pretty close to Nushell, which was mentioned in the article. The Nushell `ls` (and `ps`, etc.) builtins generate structured data that can be sorted, queried, reduced, and then transformed to many…
Thank you for the great video - I'm glad I watched it. Hadn't heard of Helix or Kakoune until now. While I have decades of muscle-memory in the vi key-bindings, it's easy to see that the select-object/verb method makes…
For point #1, perhaps neither scenario is "equitable". "Equal pay" may sound equitable given the horribly biased example given, but look at the converse case: > You have two people doing the same job but if you live in…
That's a completely fair point, and unfortunately Windows does require a restart on pretty much every Windows update. You're right -- Linux only requires a reboot on a kernel update, which is far less frequent. That…
> you can also pipe output from a PowerShell command to a Linux command. Agreed - PowerShell <-> WSL integration is pretty nice. Just remember (mostly for others reading) that PowerShell has a nasty habit of…
Got you beat by ... 1 year ;-) It was a pretty big change when our (already outdated at that time) lab in college scrapped the PDP11-44 and replaced it with 20 Windows 3.0 machines and 10 Macs. Been using Linux since I…
Windows has a long history of preinstalled games of various quality all the way back to Reversi in Windows 1.0. Solitaire, of course, was the third most popular application in Windows 3.1. But there hasn't been a single…
Yes, that secure channel thing was a bummer. I saw your Stack Overflow question a couple of days ago (I seem to be your sole upvote on it) and tried to come up with some kind of workaround, but no dice. Not a problem…
Depends on your criteria, I guess. If you are okay with closed-source (but based on OSS), then Vivaldi is a great alternative, IMHO. It supports most extensions from the Chrome Store. Has had vertical tabs for years…
It looks to me like Japan could be on the cusp of a drastic increase in cases, at least. Whether or not it translates to hospitalizations or deaths is another question (I feel it is less likely based on other health…
In a normal year, we'd do lunch with my family and dinner with my wife's family, and be stuffed beyond belief. And in a normal year, my wife would come down with bronchitis shortly thereafter. Recently we learned that's…
Suggestion for gas pumps: I carry rolls of dog poop cleanup bags. They make great temporary gloves that you can slip over your hand before touching the gas pump, and they slide off into the trash easily without touching…
Well, there's the rub. No one seems to know, even today, how long after exposure you become contagious. That's especially the case for asymptomatic spreaders (as we assume the child was, if the child was the source for…
That's the one I was looking for - Thanks :-) Edited
Isn't the long-term care facility link a little implausible? 4 days seems like a bit short for the child to be infected, incubate to the point of being contagious, pass it to the parent, then incubate again to the…
Sour grapes from a pork industry CEO who is upset that he is being asked to close his plant for 2 weeks since half of South Dakota's confirmed COVID-19 cases are due to it. Pork consumption (and prices) had already…
Some of the confusion is that cases are reported in the county of residence, not the county of the hospital where they are being treated. I've had to correct multiple people who felt the "official numbers are wrong…
