Look I’m a big fan of having CLI interfaces, and they can definitely let you do things that you just can’t do (or are extremely difficult to do) with a standard desktop gui. But at the same time, the GUI means they…
It’s possible that Medicaid has certain rules for a minimum stay before they will pay for rehab after the fact. I think there was a story recently floating around HN specifically talking about some similar requirement…
I can buy that some of the spacial and tactile aspects of a real book can help with recall, I also wonder to what extent it has to do with the type of screen. I’ve found I dislike reading any long form material on…
I had a realization recently that the problem with "AI isn't consistently good enough" is that experience is probably not sufficiently distinguishable from the experience most non-experts have with computer systems all…
“Life changing” money is relative. We take some family friends and their kids on a vacation every two years. Sometimes the bill is split, sometimes we cover most or all of the cost. We’re not rich, we just have extra…
The problem isn’t so much the difficulty in finding a pre-made config, it’s a combination of: A) which premade config to choose B) what half of those settings even do (and do you need them) C) a lack of “sane” defaults…
On my MacBook I map the right hand command key to “ctrl” and the right hand option key to “meta”. Since the command keys are right next to the space bar that puts the ctrl key on a thumb position most of the time, and…

For comparison, the transition from PPC to Intel started in 2006 and the first MacOS version to require an Intel processor was just 3 years later in 2009[1]. By comparison, the M series transition started in late…
But then what is a friend? If a "friendship" ever ends, does that mean it was never a friendship at all? I've had very good friends, people I've shared houses with, helped move, been to their weddings and they've been…

Systemd lets you create templates that take an argument in from the scheduled service. It gets that from the value after the @. So you can write a unit file that schedules a task to run say every 3 days and in that unit…
How is it a dog whistle? What words would you like to put into my mouth? Are you suggesting that “urban hubs” and “immigration tension” are code words for “black people” and “slavery”? Because I regret to inform you…
This is a just so story that is trivially and obviously false and I don’t understand why it continues to persist. Paid public police forces in the US appear as early as the 1600s in Boston. The first what we might…

I don't think I've ever worked on a project where there wasn't more work to be done than there was time to do it in.
One question I have is are these "constraints, style guides, corner cases, error handling, optimization guidelines" extra things that you wouldn't need otherwise, or are they formal documentation of the baked in…
I’m a big fan of JetBrains model for this. Buy the software on a subscription, and the subscription gets cheaper for the first 3 annual renewals. While you’re subscribed you get access to the most current version and…
The article is literally about asking these models to generate 3d models of the Pantheon.
I feel like this is the reporter choosing ambiguous words. Was this a permit to discharge into “an unnamed ditch” whose location and ownership and end destination are unspecified in the permit and so it is unclear…
