"rather than getting the $70 replacement part" Appliance repair usually starts at a $100 house-call fee and goes up from there. It is cheaper to buy a new dishwasher than get it repaired.

"how Reddit works" Sounds like you're accusing him of something you're guilty of? Is there "one" way that reddit works, and you get it, but he doesn't? hubris level intensifies.

I have it running on Mac without this: my server close has a Win11 machine and I play through Remote Desktop on 10 GB/s backbone. :) Zero lag. Problem is, the game is boring as hell.

That's what I was wondering, what happens to your eyes natural lenses? do they need to contract to read the content or does it account for divergence so the muscles in your eyes can relax as if the screen is 20 feet away? Seems like th

Acetaminophen, aspirin, and ibuprofen (nsaids) are all wonderful alternatives to opioids that fall into this category. There’s also the placebo effect treatment.

I guess the real question is, when do we stop, when everyone has 2 cubic meters of space to live in? Is that where we draw the line? Because then we could build a borg cube the size of the solar system and fit a 1 nonillion people. I mean a

NGL: I'd watch a deepfake of me having sex with myself. It might lead to some "Being John Malkovich" trauma though.

One of the brightest guys I ever worked with believed the earth had enough food and resources to support ONE TRILLION people. Just because you're one of 1000 people in the world that understand how to make a qubit doesn't mean tha

Nancy had an astrologer and psychic, Jean Dixon, that she routinely consulted. Not aware of any evidence it influenced Bonzo, but everyone's partner has some weird thing, right?

Another library can call setlocale and it will impact my code? I've never, ever written locale-specific code, so this is kinda surprise.

I still don't see the fuss. People were using one free tool to access another free tool, and are now mad that they have to use a different free tool to access the original free tool that offers its own free tool? And the tool is largel

Hm. I'm man. I don't need to kill, fight, or some paleolithic tribe narrative to forge deep lifelong bonds. I just tell the men in my life that I care about that I love them and will be there for them if they ever need me, and the

"seldom duplicated elsewhere" I hear this same sentiment from marines, cops, fireman, and fraternity members. I also hear it from Masons, Elks, Shriners, etc. I don't understand why men have to think they've "discov

To be fair, it was possible to tell what operations would be off in the FDIV bug and by how much. It was 100% deterministic. Problem was, checking all the operands in SW before performing the computation to make adjustments completely defea

To ELI5 your question: the infrastructure that makes the world go round is located in the zones that will be flooded as sea level rises. It will be a huge cost to migrate this, and it isn't being done, which means a potential for massi

The hardest part is supporting the platform for 7~10 years. With those lifetimes, writing code is like 5% of the effort, the rest is supporting it for years and handling all the nasty bugs that show up when thousands of engineers pound on i

Or maybe just doing what every CPU company does: keep improving? I mean there are many good reasons why RISC-V still hasn't busted out yet. It's just an ISA, that's it. The implementations are wildly different, which is not s

Same here. That was the gateway film for me. It reminds me of the Southern Reach Trilogy (Annihilation, Authority, Acceptance).
