9 lane intersections are extremely common in Phoenix. 3 lanes in each direction, 2 lanes for a left turn, and 1 lane for a right turn. Often times there will be a small median where one could wait out a light, but not always. Scottsdale @ M

All of it looks awesome. The level of detail in the Factorio art style is absurd.

Handbrake works pretty well for many use cases too, although it doesn't expose nearly everything you can do with ffmpeg.

I really wish there were more options out there with the Apple keyboard layout on the bottom row, notably with the right edge of the Command and X keys aligned. The Magic Keyboard is so comfortable to use on a Mac but the typing experience

Satisfactory recently migrated theirs from Fandom to wiki.gg and the improvement was night and day. Same exact content, but instantly it was way easier to use.

Ah, the good ol' days of enterprise apps only working in IE6. We never left it apparently. (I say "ol'" but I was dealing with the IE6 thing as recently as 2011)

I understand that people are (rightfully) upset by these terms. This is the first post I've seen saying they're rejecting Zoom calls, but I've seen plenty of comments on HN over the last few days on this topic saying roughly

In the past, such forced breakups included restrictions on how the new entities could do for a period of time. As an example, AT&T was not allowed to use any of the Bell trademarks despite still owning them. In theory, the government co

Can IPv4 reasonably be killed yet? The ISPs are still dragging their feet on IPv6. I can't browse over IPv6 at home because my ISP (Cox) hasn't been able to consistently deploy it to residential. I'll have support for a few w

There was an article about that on HN in the last few weeks. I struggled to find that specific post, but I think this is the same story. https://www.theregister.com/2023/07/15/pigeon_model_geolocat...

I daresay I saw this by the end of August, so I was technically correct. Jokes aside, this is every bit as unsurprising and dumb as I had hoped it would be. It's perfect.

Last week, we had PHP on the desktop. I fully expect to see a full backend framework written in CSS by the end of August.

For me at least, I often go directly to the official docs. They're much better in 2023 than they were in 2013, pretty much across the board. And if that doesn't work, it seems you're more likely to find your specific problem

Hard to argue Waymo hasn't gone anywhere with the number of their Taxis I see driving around Scottsdale. I see multiple everyday and I only really drive along a single road as part of my commute. I don't think they've "m

On a related note, if you're ever playing a sandbox game that lets you build and are wondering how to make your builds look better: this is rule number 1. In Minecraft, don't allow for seeing anything further than 20-25 blocks awa

I played with the beta for a bit and while it's a marked improvement over the old UI, it still feels remarkably old and outdated to use. 1. There still doesn't appear to be a threaded email view. Emails are grouped, but I don&#x27

I forget that's an option. I really dislike that and prefer for new tabs to open in my home directory. So having my `tab` alias that I use a couple times a week and opening the other 100 tabs in my home directory fits my workflow.

I knew of (and use) `subl` but was unaware they provided their own `smerge`. I'll delete my own alias in favor of that. Thanks!

I think it's worth pointing out here that we (on HN) are not average users. I have had a number of actually average users asking me about the Reddit blackouts recently. Most of them don't know of Reddit beyond the first party ap
