I thought you were joking until I saw the video where this is an actual quote.

Automatic disengage when accelerating and automatic engage when parking means means one less thing to think about. Just get in the car, put in gear and go. EVs also have very powerful motor braking that can get the car to a stop if the hydr

Accidentally pulling in a unused dependency during development is, if not a purely hypothetical scenario, at least an extreme edge case. During debug, most of the times you already built those 5000000000 lines while trying to reproduce a pr

No potato, quite the contrary, and it’s not that it hogs resources. It’s just slow within. I can also keep a video call open and do other things outside of teams . But doing any multitasking within teams is just a nightmare. Open a second

If by perfect you mean that you can’t have two chats open next to each other and toggling between chats is slow as molasses then yes.

It’s as though they deliberately make it complex and constantly moving to wear you out to give in to the convenient SaaS offer.

When 99% of all charts have this problem, maybe the problem isn’t with the individual charts, rather a symptom of a fundamentally dissonant abstraction model. The core problem is that it’s overkill. The solution to that is not to add or fix

This. Almost every chart try to be helpful and hide the upstream configuration of the application. Inevitably, you will sooner or later need to change a config. Now it’s not enough to read the documentation of the application, you also need

Terraform. It’s declarative, type safe and just expressive enough to create basic conditionals, loops and reusable modules. Providers exists for all clouds and k8s. Now it’s not perfect either. It does have some issues with slow querying of

The dump, restore and custom scripts to synchronize the new instance sound a bit odd. You could just add the instance as a secondary to your cluster and mongo itself handles synchronization. Then removing the old instances automatically pro

When it comes to video it’s not only the browser. It’s also your gpu, your OS and your gpu drivers. Notably, YouTube these days prioritize AV1 codec even if you don’t have gpu acceleration for it, making lots of systems fall back to CPU dec

Nobody is demanding anything. Google is just disclosing issues. This opens up transparency of ffmpeg’s security posture, giving others the chance to fix it themselves, isolate where it’s run or build on entirely new foundations. All this as

Apply that argument to any other file format and it quickly become absurd.

Let’s not pretend that useState() is plain TypeScript either. It’s a DSL in disguise. JSX is amazing for stateless rendering of templates. Not so much for state management. That should really have been given a dedicated DSL. Here I think Ma

It’s so odd that there is no way to edit the list of sites manually. Now, the only way to ”Always Open Site in Container” is to first browse to that page. That’s not just inconvenient for batch edits, what’s worse is that you can end up in

It’s usually a loud minority of trolls or hobbyists. It just takes one to spark a doubt. Here is one famous example of a dude who’s managed to get PRs merged in dozens of packages, just to make them compatible with ancient versions of nodej

Large share of C programs also (accidentally) depend on holes in the specifications, aka undefined behavior. Putting them under the mercy of the compiler to remain consistent.

14 is a indeed very long. Let’s instead assume 12, it’s 2013 and you got a top specced T440 with 4th gen i7. That’s actually not bad and the build quality is like a tank as all Thinkpads. Nothing I would use as daily driver myself but havin

So instead of depending on one third party, you now depend on every Hotel, ISP and Cafe on the planet. Great compromise.

This TOON is bound to have the same problem, because strings are not quoted. You can’t differentiate between the number 123 and the string ”123”. For LLM consumption, this might not matter, don’t use this for anything else.

Have you tried LibreOffice Calc? It’s so quirky and different from proper Excel. I would never recommend this to a family member, no matter how much better Linux is to Windows. In fact, the office suite is probably the only reason I might c

Nice. This can be generalized to a ”mirror” command to swap the arguments of anything.

Your comment here has id 45622189 and the UI tells me in plain sight that you posted it 11h ago. Assuming the ids are sequential, these two combined tells me more about HN vs a uuid ”leaking” something that’s already expected to be public.
