Your numbers seem off...

Base models: 3,370 vs 3,968. Flagship models: 3,800 vs 4,663.

So 600-850 lbs differential. Not 1,000, but not just an extra person.

To be fair, the Hyundai does seem larger (12" longer wheelbase).

2 units, both 1,100 MW each. So 2 cents / kWh.

Like Quick Find? The apostrophe? '

I agree this style of navigation is great. I don't know if it's in Chrome, though.

Panasonic ended their Viera line about 10 years ago, unfortunately. AFAIK they were the last &/ the best.

Mine still works great, although it still draws ~200 watts of energy.

The "myth" is quite real, e.g. the $1,000+ coffee cup

> Java ... are easy enough to setup (thanks to JetBrains) but ... there are no good books teaching novices the CS foundations using these languages

Really? Is there no good Java book?

I can't actually name one off-hand, but surely... even if it covers only Java 8

> But these machines persist in American landscaping because they are cheap.

I rarely see pros use cheap stuff. They're paying for Stihl eq and mowers I can't even afford.

2-stroke gas eq is incredibly powerful for the weight. More power, more done, more money.

Battery is catching up quick, and honestly will soon deliver even more power, and that's when I think most will switch. I bet many will pay more for a (more-powerful) battery trimmer. But it's not about "cheap" (imo).

There is some truth to this.

In theory, chess is a game of perfect information.

But in practice, this is only true for ~6-piece endgames: every outcome has been / can be computed. But for any middle- or early-game position, the amount of finite information greatly exceeds any person's or computer's capacity, practically speaking.

In concrete terms, the tablebase for 6-piece endgames is ~150 GiB. For 7-piece, it's 16 TiB.

I just bought some books from Powell's. It's kind of a landmark in Portland.

They hardly had any sesame seeds to begin with.

Big Marty's still have a ludicrous amount. I guess it's all or nothing.

> Two rowing machines could provide roughly 400 watts of power. If they are operated around the clock in shifts, they could supply the ship with an extra 9.6 kWh of energy per day

Rowing 200 watts is not exactly easy. That's like 2:00/- splits, "ramming speed" type power. Half that seems more reasonable.

I do like the idea, though, of a sailing ship with ad hoc erg/rowing power.

The tournament thing is kinda fun, but deep down I think we know which we like best.

For me, it's serif fonts

1. Triplicate A Code

2. NSimSun

3. Courier Prime

Sans serif fonts certainly have their own appeal

1. The Sans Mono (the O'Reilly book font) / Fira

2. APL385 Unicode (this font's got maybe the best numbers)

3. Mononoki

Pixel fonts, classics (but maybe best on low DPI)

1. Fixedsys Excelsior 3.01

2. 6x13

I think "con artist" isn't too far off, but "dream simulator" also applies.

I think it's kind of an open question: can we learn anything from dreams? It's likely a yes, though I doubt we'll prove the Riemann hypothesis with it or anything like that.

Reminds me a lot of the D'ni numbers from Riven.

D'ni numerals overlay two base-5 values in the same space, one horizontal & the other vertical, to represent 0–24. There's even a one-character numeral for 25, though it rarely comes up in-game. Different, of course, but I wouldn't be surprised if Cistercian was the inspiration.

Or you're hunt-and-pecking at 30wpm on your coworker's QWERTY keys, and they start to look at you funny as you stammer something about "I'm not used to ..." and "... Dvorak"? Yeah.

Erlang's got them, I'm pretty sure.

2 things

1. it's not that the colors are themselves bad, but that the author feels the trend is being forced upon their whole generation

2. there are a number of not-very-grey pastels that I've seen on the road: Subaru's Hyper blue WRX STI, Toyota's Voodoo blue 4Runners, Dodge's orange Challengers, soon Nissan's new yellow Z, ... so maybe the author is too focused on what they dislike

Re: 1, it's funny because I always felt metallic colors were thrust upon us all for 20 years, a trend with its own missteps. Remember the green metallic early-00s Altimas? Worse than any grey pastel I've seen. But it doesn't indict the whole metallic category.

Personally, one of our first family cars was a pastel close to butter. (nowadays, my car is silver metallic)

Tacomas switched to the 3.5L 2GR-FKS with port + direct injection (& Atkinson cycle), years ago.

4Runners still have the old 4.0L 1GR-FE, port-injected. (and a 5-speed automatic! you're right about low-change mentality)

Fuel economy is roughly similar (>= 11.0 L / 100 Km), as far as I know, as is power.

I used to buy more Blu-Rays but some TV series have stopped disc releases, presumably to drive streaming, or just aren't worth buying.

Expanse: Season Five, specifically: why must I get Prime when I've got Seasons 1 - 4 on disc? And who's gonna buy GoT S5-8? Westworld S4?

I've got no comment on any increase in DVD sales, though. That's not my market. I only rip CDs (which skip like crazy, while I've literally never had a disc issue with DVD/Blu).

So are the birds mimicking the bees, or is it the other way around? Maybe I'm just missing the point.

I mean, is int[] a mimic of ArrayList<Integer>, or vice versa? Of course they're similar, of course they're different. Is "mimicry" just a pejorative thing?

Right. It just seems like a matter of time before MS strikes / takes down someone's original code for "infringing" upon Copilot output.

Seems like above a certain size, stealing becomes a great business strategy.

> others that just abhor having to talk to real-life people

No, buddy, just people like you.

If you really feel your job is slaving at a digital conveyor belt if you can't socialize with coworkers/friends, I just don't know what to say.

No offense, but you kinda sound like an asshole.

Your description reminds me of Crystal Quest / Crystal Raider.

This seems reasonable. As others state, this is hardly an issue specific to Go.

In CoffeeScript (which I think solves this nicely), it looks something like

  for i in [0...3] # 3 3 3
    setTimeout (() -> console.log "#{i}"), 100

  for i in [0...3] # 0 1 2
    setTimeout (do (i) -> () -> console.log "#{i}"), 100

  for i in [0...3] # 0 1 2
    do (i) ->
      setTimeout (() -> console.log "#{i}"), 100

FWIW, adding a Center channel to my former 2.0 seems to have really helped me hear dialogue.

Along these lines, I also really like the Aviation Radar maps

(feel free to change, in the top left, Type = Comp Ref, and to Loop)

In theory, they could be seen as equivalent. In practice, they're not. Your "2,154" speaks to that.

I'm not really sure what the difference is. The best defense is a good offense, no? I'm only about 600 puzzles in, on lichess. Sometimes you must out-attack (race to checkmate), other times you just want to get ahead before you disable their attack.

Maybe you like the Quiet Move type puzzles? Those are a weak spot for me.

The lodash equivalent, which I missed, is something like this:

  _.chain(inputSet)
      .filter((x) => x >= 0)
      .map((x) => x * 2)
      .thru((e) => new Set(e))
      .value()

I think it looks fine, works fine.
