That's an impossible number to calculate. Just today, in fair but flowing traffic, I noticed a vehicle braking constantly and erratically. The person behind them apparently had enough and swerved to my lane to pass them, nearly causi

Fascinating, and well studied, but I don't buy the '1 in 10 distracted'. As someone who has done tons of driving, I'd honestly put the number of distracted drivers, specifically dicking with their cell phone, somewhere

Driving in particular is different...and as I teach my wife to drive I realize how stressful and compute intensive it is. Slow down if there's cars on the side of the road, a kid will dart out. Keep an eye on what's around and b

Yes, it was fixed in 5.5. There's a few corners of the internet explaining the issue...this one is good enough https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=250765 . I have a newish all intel setup, and 5.4 crashes to th

Yikes, that feels like a mistake. 5.4 has awful issues with intel integrated graphics crashing.

I feel absolutely conflicted about this. On one hand, I do think this should be a catalyst to require front camera and or collision detection, especially if it saves lives. On the other, I find it reprehensible that these tragic stories a

As a 20 or so year long linux as a desktop user, I've had my hopes up so many times that more people would embrace Linux. It's always been about the games, largely. Hell we had id's stuff running, and there was even a compa

Nah. I feel a lot like you, and can't wait for the day optimizations matter again. But realistically, fat chance. It's easier and cheaper to hire 50 code monkeys to throw crap at the wall and make something surprisingly functional

This mirrors my own experience. I was grinding a lot at home and storing it, but the next day it just felt flat. I'm one of those people that likes heavy aromatic Konas. Grinding for what you're making now is the way to go for

Not to discredit Clear's work at all, but it's not so much the 'OS' in standard parlance, it's still just another Linux distro. It's down to compiler flags and optimizations, which generally anyone can do give

In fairness, I've only dipped my toes in with a few Jinhaos. They are pretty cheap. They aren't as nice writing as the really nice ones, but serviceable. They come with refillable reservoirs, and take international standard cartr

It's funny I just posted about the same thing. If you're interested, check out vintage Elma grinders on ebay. I have one we restored and it looks nice. If something smaller, Kalita makes nice ones too. Somehow I now have 3 tot

I have a few, which have happened one at a time over the years. Mostly between tired of cheap junk breaking, tired of plastic, or tired of staring into a screen, so I'll share a few. I wear a watch. Sometimes solar, but usually autom

I'm in full agreement, but that idea isn't popular here, where I find folks a bit fatalistic. I understand why of course, assuming 'someone will solve it' takes the urgency out of the problem. We do need to take action

I did read the article, yet came away baffled by the headline. Of course Neanderthal knew how to make fire...

Right? Every fiber of my body screams "JUST INCREASE THE TAX!". Figure out the fuel usage drop, if any, and adjust the tax accordingly. Hell, I'd pay double fuel taxes if I didn't have to fight red lights anymore.

As a long time remote employee, this absolutely needs to be addressed as a company or at least team in order to work. I've been on a lot of teams. Some have constant one off meetings, whiteboard sessions, and lot of general back chan

Yeah, where my dad lives in rural kentucky, they actually paid you for each coyote you killed. Not sure if that's still the case, though.

That's an interesting point. I'm not saying you're wrong, just posing the following for thought: If a country/language picks a name for a place, that that place doesn't use, who owns it so to speak? That is, who &

IIRC, there's only one English speaking South American country, and the Amazon doesn't run through it. You could argue that 'some people in some countries' speak English, which is true, but the same is also true that a

I'm having trouble following the negative modulo wording or formula. It says % and %% are identical for unsigned integers then below defines it as a %% b == ((a % b) + a) % b If that's the case I can't figure out how they ar

Nope, I don't even use Budgie. Despite my distaste for it, I'm still a Gnome guy. So, I don't remember why I even tried it other than I'd grown tired of Arch based footguns. I wanted rolling release, something easy t

As a very long time Linux on the desktop user, I absolutely love Solus. I've used about everything, but anymore, I just want something nice and easy for me out of the box. After the Antergos project ended, I decided I wanted somethin

So that renders the invite system about as useful as a captcha. What's the point again?

This is a hard question to answer easily, IMO. I find that Java folks tend to overuse the debugger, spending 20 mins stepping through something that a simple value print would have solved. That said, some code -really- needs a debugger. Y

This is incredibly wasteful. Back when I had a Kroger I would just play dumb and ask for the discount, even if I get a new card each time, because I refuse to carry their card. Not wanting to hold up their line, cashiers would either scan

These life hacks have never worked for me. I realized too late in life that I do my best work at night. I'm not sure if it's because I'm bored, or tired and my brain has slowed, or the news cycle has slowed down, but I can

Agreed. As someone who has seen too much of the world, Uber doesn't stand a chance in hell. Grab dominated Asia. Turns out struggling folks aren't willing to pay the Uber premium like Americans do.
