Latency is dominated by speed of light delays, which are about 2.5 seconds round trip. Encoding is generally more concerned with data integrity than data minimization. I'm not sure about the details of this mission and whether the Indi

Is this a really problem? It's vanishingly rare in my experience to here a phone ring these days. Rude people intentionally playing music or other media without headphones is a much larger but still rare phenomenon.

This is total nonsense. I used to believe it as someone who only grew up with gas. Now, I've worked as a professional cook and lived in a variety of places with a variety of electric stoves at different price points. Electric is absolu

I assume in the latter case the item was coming from Italy to you in California, not from Italy to you in Finland? If it was the latter case that would make for a truly bizarre story.

Depends on how you take it. I worked for the government during the Bush administration, but not in the administrative staff itself. It's just a shitty and unnecessary jab that rubs me entirely the wrong way.

It's certainly antagonizing to me, but maybe that's just because I work for the government and like to think that I do extraordinary work.

It's a good guideline when you're early on in your programming career, but I've been surprised by how many compiler bugs I have independently re-discovered in my career. One of the curses of my job is that I work with ancient

By far the most surprising thing about this comment to me is that Aella's substack gets posted here often enough to make it on this list.

Okay. Good for you. Your experience does not match my own at all.

Well it depends. Part of the reason I was/am comfortable carrying is because I have the appropriate professional training to do so safely. Both as a result of that training and as a matter of habit, it is possible to be cognizant of po

The United States is a very large place. I currently live somewhere relatively civilized. Here, I have a permit for concealed carry but I never actually carry. In a past life, I lived somewhere much less civilized. There, I carried (either

Same here. I've come to the conclusion that most drivers (or most drivers that complain about EPA mileage ratings anyway) have insane driving habits. Every car I have ever owned (And I've run the gamut from sedans to light pickups

That's really nothing like python strings, which for the same string would be formatted_str = f"My name is {name} and my favorite number is {num}" The function call I could forgive, but the the ability to embed arbit

I looked at all (I think?) of the people on Nebula. I only recognize a few and none of them are people I follow on Youtube. The average quality might be higher, but it doesn't seem like Nebula is a platform for the niche YouTubers that

I pay for Premium. Sadly it doesn't stop creators from inserting their own ~ads~ sponsorships into the videos directly so Sponsorblock is still a non-negotiable component of Youtube for me.

No, no and yes but also yes for me. I won't say it's particularly common, but there are absolutely some of us out there that will go out of our way to be a free walking billboard. For me personally, a manufacturer identifying thei

I looked into it a bit, and it seems that you probably need to be a benefit corporation or L3C to qualify for certification. For example, here's what they say for US/Deleware/Corporation on their legal requirement page [0]:

Mythbusters did a test at one point where they exposed a dead pig to a mere 9 atmospheres/300 feet of water pressure. The result is... not pretty. It's safe to say that no matter what happened to the Titan, there are no bodies to

Those statements aren't at odds are they? Terrorist events that results in death of at least one passenger are included, despite terrorist activity (presumably) having nothing to do with specific model of airplane.

The daiquiri is an interesting one because it will weed out easily 90% of bartenders without even receiving a drink. The number of times I have been told "sorry, we don't have a blender" is a source of great amusement to me.

What percentage of 9-10mph crashes do you think result in any emergency services being called? I would hazard a guess that it's less than 50% including a non-emergency call to police and less than 10% for EMS. It absolutely does not wa

These robotaxis are operating legally with permits from the city are they not? It's nonsensical to suggest arresting the passengers sitting in a licensed robotaxi for something they have no control over. This is entirely on the city (a
