   Wait so I can get a huge office building for the cost of three mediocre single family homes?

   I hate this solution. Instead of simplifying tax law, the government is just building another layer of crap on top. If this is all they are going to do, why bother at all? Why not instead subsidize tax preparation software for “simple” case

   Cool or room temperature is the opposite of lukewarm. The range of day to day useful cold temperatures for water is really narrow. 72 F is room temp. 32 F is frozen. Cold is usually below 40. Cool is the stuff in between. There are many mor

   I’ve been using Kagi for a while now. It’s worth a shot. I’ve been very happy with the quality of the results and I never find myself feeling like I should check google too.

   Spacemacs is a good project, but it certainly isn’t easier to set up than helix. Helix literally requires zero configuration to enable this functionality.

   Better than nothing. Especially if you panic. It’s even better if they don’t kick in at all.

   You have to warm them up, but let’s not pretend that EV and ICE are equally impacted by the cold.

    I will probably get a multithreaded compiler before I can convince people to stop abusing templates shrug

    > People like their car to look new/different That's true in my experience. Though it is interesting that cars look more and more similar over time rather than different.

    I'm still waiting for multithreaded c++ compiler. The project I work on has some nasty templating, and there are a few compilation units that take a long long time.

    There shouldn't even be an assumption that two people's definition of consistent lines up. Just because you can draw an equivalence between Taylor and Apple, doesn't mean that other people will or should.

    I don't have a Tesla, largely because I don't trust them due to all of the hype. Hype which is largely driven directly by Musk. That said, they are good cars for a lot of people and the sales numbers reflect that. Are you saying t

    I could make an argument around generative AI and our industry, but I won’t. We don’t know what the future holds, and there will always be smart people pushing towards AGI. Instead, I will tell you this. Anxiety is an absolute beast. You sh

    > … and cannot be fixed with technological hacks and definitely not by one of their core enablers Well said. Hopefully the US Government will start being harder on monopolies in some meaningful way.

    Seems like marketing to me. They got rid of the stainless steel frame from previous models, switched back to aluminum, then added a pointless band of titanium so they could say Titanium in their marketing.

    The iPhone 15 pro is mostly aluminum. There is about a 1mm thick band of titanium around an aluminum frame. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2023/09/apple-unveils-iphone-... https://www.youtube.com&#

    It lowers the barrier to market for the end consumer product, but all of the stuff in between is gone. No more compiler vendors, or xml libraries, etc.

    I feel like you could make a strong argument that open source actually aids tech monopolies. Consider some business that needs <foo> to work. They can use OSS, buy, or build. If they buy, they share their profits with some other compa

    If you flip a coin and it lands on heads, that’s not an accident, it’s just chance. You get a risky procedure and die, well that’s chance too.

    I make no claims about my reading comprehension. That last bit seemed too narrow to me. Once you have all the bits in orbit, shielding doesn’t seem too onerous. Is the claim that even space-space shielding + reactor is too heavy to be worth

    First I am reading about nuclear engines applied to Starship. I wonder if it would be more practical to launch the reactor, fuel, and propellant into orbit using conventional rockets. Later a mission could pick up this Nuclear rocket engine

    There's more than accidental deaths too. For example, surgeries carry risk.

    Lots of people get unlucky and die. That doesn't mean they should not take the risk in the first place.

    I truly free market ends in monopoly and total loss of choice. Current regulations seem to end with duopoly which is not much better.
