I use Zen as my work browser but weirdly the developers seem to have a few Arc features they are actively opposed to despite ... let's say taking heavy inspiration from Arc otherwise. Two examples I can think of off the…
Plus sometimes these apps have specific requirements. One thing needs Postgres 16, the other needs Postgres 18... maybe it works to point both at 18, maybe it doesn't. Easier to just give everything its own instance and…
Livestock guardian dogs and other methods are common around the world where predators still exist in the environment. Why can't the Dutch use them?
For me it's the other way around. I tried darkroom and C1 but I found both of them a lot harder to use and less feature-rich compared to Lightroom. If I was a pro user using it every day I'm sure I could justify…
I do think there's a point where introducing different failure modes is harmful. Say they end up causing more pedestrian crashes and more head-on & angle crashes (such as the one in this article), but less…
I have an LG OLED as well, and to be honest I don't care. It is pretty obvious that every TV manufacturer does it by the fact that they all have to make their TVs "smart", perhaps save for the tiny/unknown ones that…
Isn't the whole point of UBI that it is universal and equal, e.g. everyone gets XX$ no matter what? If it is tied somehow to behavior then it is not UBI anymore, but more like a tax credit
Maybe I don't remember the names, dates, and others correctly but I don't think they had things like > Wi-Fi and Ethernet clients are equivalent peers on the LAN. > Wi-Fi and Ethernet clients aren’t equivalent peers on…
As someone who has done OSS work maintaining a project of similar size, and who works with people maintaining projects 10x larger, IMO this is totally fine. Maintainers deserve to get the bag. 99.999% of users won't pay…
I've had my code editor's configuration set to auto save for at least 15 years at this point. I've never had the problem of not being able to throw something away that I wanted to throw away - either it's in the git…
We don't have carpet, and I use the grounding armband from my iFixit set. I've never had an SSD die either even when swapping them between various systems over the years. My oldest M.2 is about 10 years old, a 120GB…
The cheapest compatible one I can see new (and one of the only ones...) is currently at 120: https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100007625%20601413455%20601409... That's actually not bad, last time I checked the only ones…
I bought from Newegg both times. The first time it was an ASRock MB that was dead, and to be fair, the issue here was that some part was on backorder so by the time everything arrived and I put it together I had to deal…
Yeah, just barely, and only if you don't value warranty or build time. I'm also not super sure you could get something together that is somewhat compact like the steam machine and still be cheaper. I've built two PCs in…
I've been in the same boat since it seems something about the memory controller on my gaming PC's MB is broken, but price wise it feels like it just doesn't make sense. I could get something from eBay relatively cheap…
> As far as I can tell, non-stick is just a ploy to get people to keep buying new pans as it wears off. This is one of the biggest reasons my wife and I switched away from non-stick too. We moved from replacing…
My wife and I started doing this about 5 years ago or so. Since then, we gradually acquired more carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and enameled cookware. Initially we were reaching for the non-stick for all the…
With the Chinese models now being 3T too I don't think they have to. Speed/cost wise this already doesn't seem like a viable model. The biggest threat for the economy IMO is if they challenge the whole Nvidia/Datacenter…
And somehow just because the store says it's 48gpbs doesn't mean that's true either... I have a cable that is explicitly marked as 48gbps, 8k60, 4k120 compatible and yet it frequently ends up dropping the connection.…
At some point my older Mac charger that I was using for traveling died, so as a replacement I got a few of these styles of adapters: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08YS7QHM9 (not the exact one I have - but you get the…
I built myself a new PC recently and jumped straight to installing Linux on it. Unfortunately the experience isn't quite as plug and play there either... In terms of everything I had to do: - Disable iGPU in BIOS…
I think there's a world of a difference between "you wrote some code and it sucks" to "you wrote some code and it sucks because you have beginner energy and live in a fever dream". The former can be an objective…
How historical? Compilers that have translated from a source language into C and have left the C-to-bytecode translation to another compiler have been around for a long time, as have compilers that translated from a…
Very interesting article. Would've been fun to see the comparison between native interpreter & JIT-on-WASM on iOS as well
I'm never mean but sometimes when Claude does something especially boneheaded I just hit it with a single "bruh". That usually triggers an automatic "You're absolutely right -- I shouldn't have X and followed your…
