Never got into bookmarks, seemed slower to have to grab a mouse and dig around to find the bookmark I was looking for, vs ctrl-t then the first few letters.

If you do it properly, from the outside it seems sudden.

Couldn’t he just partner with Microsoft and start with the Bing corpus?

It’s to the point people don’t answer their phones due to the massive amount of spam calls. The network is losing relevance due to the lack of regulation.

I’m seeing the price per vial of generic insulin lispro (Humalog) for roughly $20 a vial. I’m not sure how many vials a person needs but that’s not completely nuts.

Yeah they’ve invented newer more expensive types of insulin that better control blood sugar, and they are continuing to invent newer types that are even better. Which I think is great and allowing there to be a financial incentive to create new and better insulins.

I was upgrading yearly but after I got the 12 Pro I didn’t really feel a need to upgrade, until this year when my battery life started getting iffy for a full day use, the Face ID sensor stopped working, and I maxed out the storage.

Figured may as well upgrade to a 15 pro max and stick with it for 3 years. The new camera is nice; but not so much so that I’d upgrade only for it.

This seemed so obvious to me, and yet none of my colleagues would hear it when we discussed remote work.

Don’t forget hydrogen embrittlement, a major risk in reusable rockets.

You acknowledge the need for social programs and back the concept of them, but in practice vote against them because people game the system?

Why not design a system that isn’t susceptible to gaming and doesn’t rely on all people acting with integrity and instead embraces that people will act in their own best interest even if it results in long term worse outcomes overall?

Things like universal health care and universal basic income provide a flat benefit to all, so gaming the system doesn’t give an unfair advantage to some.

I was at Ohio State while Gee was President. He was very good at fundraising, that’s how he commanded that salary.

This is interesting, Gordon Gee is their current President. He was the president at Ohio State while I was there he was well-loved by the students and would routinely make appearances at off-campus parties and pose for photos with students. He also had a razor-sharp memory for people and recognized me multiple times when I bumped into him. But that wasn't his strongest suit, he was a fund raising machine, that man brought a lot of money into the university from alumni and other donors. I'm shocked to hear that WVU is having financial issues under his leadership.

In most companies that would worry me. That there isn’t anything more impactful to work on than a project that breaks even in 3 years likely is over staffed and I’m likely on the chopping block when things turn south.

At $45 a year per IP address you’d have to spend less than a man hour per address to even conceivably approach break even.

And I normally would be worried if my company was focusing on break even initiatives instead of higher impact ones.

I'm glad that expectations are shifting. At the extremes, it's either a fancy parlor trick or a hyper-intelligent god. A lot of the original hype has skewed much closer to the hyper-intelligent god side of the spectrum. It's definitely not a fancy parlor trick, but it's likely closer to that than the other side it's being hyped as.

As someone that grew up there, I don't blame you.

Most mowers I had growing up were two-stroke engines, that had oil mixed in with the gas. So they never needed an oil change.

Blades need sharpened, gas maybe needs to be drained, are there other fluids that need take care of? Do I need to oil bits, are there bolts that I need to tighten?

I could spend hours learning to do this, and then buying the tools and materials to actually do the maintenance, plus the few hours of effort of actually doing it. Walmart has several mowers listed under $200, I can see why someone would find it not worth the time/effort/money to maintain a mower and just buy a new one. Hopefully, they are setting it out on the curb with a sign that says free for someone that does find that tradeoff worth it.

Maybe don't strew pallets of junk in the middle of aisles if you want to go upmarket?

I tried to read it and it was unusable. I had to turn on reader mode to make it at all usable.

You saying this shook loose a long forgotten memory. I also saw that. And I frequently have used that phrasing when I submit a bug fix PR now I know why.

Or just maybe I don’t care that people think I’m too old to enjoy the things I like, and don’t force myself to suffer through some art house cringe fest because some guy on the internet thinks it’s a sign of living in a capitalistic hell scape while posting on a site specifically targeting capitalists.

I don’t know, if someone keeps posting lies and then Facebook decides to say you this dude is a liar. Feels pretty fair, sorry one side decided lies are core to their political identity.

Edit: it’s not one side, it’s a small minority of loud mouthed assholes.

It’s called a True Mileage Unknown title brand. It significantly impacts the value of a vehicle.

The form factor is significantly smaller, which means it’s easier to use. But more importantly the charging connector has no moving parts. A common failure on CCS chargers is that the locking pin breaks and the charger will no longer stay firmly attached to the vehicle causing charging issues. On the NACS adapter the locking pin is on the vehicle.

Charging infrastructure sees significantly more duty cycles than an individual car so it makes sense to move the wear part to the vehicle.

It’s called Title Case, major words are capitalized and minor words aren’t.

I was just researching graphql versioning and the recommendation is not to version because the graph is supposed to be an evolving entity.

Of course they can, but they feel better at elevated T levels.

No shocker here, car manufacturers typically have been trash at software. They don’t want to open up so they lean on security/their own incompetence to say they couldn’t possibly open up telematics safely.
