nashon Ask HN: How do you structure your shared finances with your spouse/partner

Salaries go to a joint savings account.

Bills / savings/ investments / daily living expenses come from that (via credit card or checking account).

We also pay each other some pocket money to spend on our own hobbies and other stuff.

nashon Germany: Police seize bitcoins worth €2B

The way things are going with these seizures, soon governments are going to be largest holders of bitcoins.

The irony of this being a youtube video is not lost on me.

nashon Getting my library cards onto my phone the hard way

So.. I just added my card to Stocard and used it a King County. Took 2 minutes, on my phone, synced across devices.

Or yeah, you could do it that way I guess.

nashon AWS IPv4 Estate Now Worth $4.5B

Only network engineers should see or care about IP addresses. The fact IPv6 addresses use colons is why people don't use IPv6 is the worst take I've ever heard.

nashon Apple M2 vs. AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U Performance in Nearly 200 Benchmarks

They aren't similarly priced though. It seems the Lenovo config is above $2000 according to https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadx/th...

nashon Apple M2 vs. AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U Performance in Nearly 200 Benchmarks

In answer to your first question... https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadx/th... vs https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-air

So 1800 for the Lenovo vs 1200 for the Mac.

This is a meaningless comparison.

nashon My Many Girlfriends

Initrode is the name that TDWTF uses for all it's company names.

nashon I became the internet’s most notorious bike thief

Never is the simple answer. Otherwise all copyright would have pretty much been eliminated by the pirate bay.

Enforcement and collection of the damages is a totally different issue.

nashon Linux Foundation’s demands to the University of Minnesota

The paper claims they reverted all the patches at the time. Obviously they did not.

nashon Dissecting the Apple M1 GPU, Part III

Apple's official graphics API is Metal. There is plenty of documentation for that. Apple considers Metal a commercial advantage over OpenGL / Vulkan. That is; they want developers to develop against Metal.

nashon Hoax article on India-Portugal clash fools Wikipedia for 5 years

Funnily enough, it claims to have been updated 49 seconds ago for me.

Guess they missed the whole "deleted" flag.

nashon Hoax article on India-Portugal clash fools Wikipedia for 5 years

Maybe.

The problem is we don't know how many hoaxes are there and have _not_ been discovered. If there are a lot, then the model is failing, if there are only a few, then it is working.

Alas, without that data, we can't make a call on the wikipedia article either way.

nashon Forget Extinct: The Brontosaurus Never Even Existed

One of the points of the article is the head/skull usually associated with the Brontosaurus was incorrect, as well as the body being a duplicate.

So with the usual headline sensationalism, it is fair to say "it never existed". More accurately, one could say something like "the dinosaur popularly known as brontosaurus, is actually a aptosaurus with a different head..." But as a headline, it lacks punch.

nashon Forget Extinct: The Brontosaurus Never Even Existed

I prefer the Peppa Pig version:

nashon Mozilla pulls day-old Firefox 16 from download site over security risk

The sizeof is there so it returns a value so it can be used as an expression. See the comment above the code (reproduced in the original question).

nashon "It's A Brick" - Tesla Motors' Devastating Design Problem

You forgot "Owner made up story"

nashon "It's A Brick" - Tesla Motors' Devastating Design Problem

I would agree. The whole document has a few little niggles that make me think it's BS, or at least severely overblown.

Additionally they quote it's happened 5 times... by an un-named service manager.

nashon Aussies' fix for 'stagnated' email

I take it you never used mutt?

That is how you rip through thousands of emails in insanely short times. Much MUCH faster then gmail.

nashon Duck.com (not the search engine you might expect)

By duckduckgo or google?

nashon Creditor moves to dismantle copyright troll Righthaven

Probably.

Still, I can't imagine the trademark "Righthaven" has a lot of value any more.

nashon Creditor moves to dismantle copyright troll Righthaven

Righthaven never had any copyrights to begin with. Which is why they keep getting absolutely slaughtered in cases (no standing).
