I never had a trinitron TV, but I had a trinitron monitor in the late 90s. What a beast that was. Think it was like an 18 or 19” with a max res of something kinda weird like 1280x960 or something like that. If my probably faulty memory is

For the people that own these cars, it’s about the journey, not the destination.

The people doing this at this point are mostly rich rail enthusiasts. No one is doing this to actually get around. The most popular routes are the more scenic ones, like through the mountains. They’re not hitching a car into the Acela to go

The nice ones are almost all old business cars. The business car was used by the railroads for senior executives to move around their systems, and hold meetings.. usually contain a couple of executive bedrooms, a staff bedroom (they typical

In theory. In practice the stock prices of many large companies seems to be completely decoupled from any thing even resembling economic reality. Does anyone really think Tesla is worth more than every single other automaker combined? That’

Yes, crush the bottom 99.9% under the jackboots of the 0.1% even harder! That's what we need!

The venue bigger issue with rust as that the compiler is so bitchy it is actively hostile to incremental add-a-line-at-a-time incremental development. Especially unused variables being a hard compilation error, not a warning.

That’s just a basic Unix thing. Any file starting #!/some/path just means for the shell to invoke that command and pass the contents of the file on stdin.

For a large number of people including myself, manual memory management is a huge con, not a pro.

No, it’s exactly because I understand that it bothers me. I understand it will be effective against bots for a few months and best, and legitimate human users will be stuck dealing with the damn thing for years to come. Just like captchas.

No android device I've ever used has a stable ANYTHING performance-wise.

Uh, every top model iPhone since the 13 is 120hz.

The single thing that solidifys it for me is that every Android device I have ever used has suffered from noticeable micro stuttering. Their current top of the line TV device drops an entire video frame every couple of seconds while watchin

Of course physical media as a whole is still way down. Streaming outearns physical by a lot. All physical media is less than half what just blu ray was 10 years ago.

by TylerE 1y ago
And they still outsell Blu-ray. It’s mostly lots and lots of kids tv. Kids don’t know what 480p means and parents just want discs that are cheaper and more resistant to damage.

Why not? Just like some companies offer discount plans that come with no/very limited tech support, and others charge 10 or 20x for the same product bundled with a high level of support.

The problem isn't wages, it's that part time jobs don't come with benefits. Health insurance being tied to employment is maybe the second biggest problem in this country and you almost never see anyone even talk about it. Eve

by TylerE 1y ago
Yeah but the details don't matter when you say "full time equivilant". Just health insurance alone will be far far far more than you are allowing. Then there's all the tax implications. Like, if you said 2500x I might co

The funny thing is the co2 isn't doing much in the short term except make you feel completely terrible, because that's how most mammals evolved not dying in caves and underground tunnels. You can't feel low o2 (well, you can

Did you ever try wearing a pulseox and seeing what your sat looked like? As long as sats aren't ever dipping below (NOT medical advice, but I'm being conservative here), say, 90%, brain damage is very remote. Plenty of COPD pati

It is, kinda sorta, but at 1 atm you need to be breathing pure o2 for ~24 hrs before its meaningful (and longer than that before treatment is anything beyond "stop breathing pure o2". The dose isn't even cumulative. Just bein

Macros in general are actually hugely anti-magical things because they let you push what normally be runtime checks into the compiler which not only means you get to fail fast but (if your language tooling is decent) means you actually get

I've used nim a bit and am going to push back quite hard on this. The core of the language is really quite consise. No harder of a mental overload than say go, or python. I'd also argue that high expressiveness actually allows you

Frankly I think all that wishy washy "ethos of HN" crap is the problem . Leads to nothing but boring, pointless, fawning comment (and hyper passive aggressive copy pasting of the "rules" from a few of the usual suspects
