Agreed on looks - I actually declined buying one because of that. That said, I really wish they would have started there. I want an electric truck. I don't want one anywhere near as large as an F150. I understand F150s sell better s

Same here. VB was widely dogged, perhaps rightly so. But I've never been near as fast or productive when making a functional GUI. It's sad that fell out of favor.

A better system would have some agreed upon holding period. Two weeks perhaps? Enough time at least that the buyer has received the goods. As much as I hate Paypal, that's essentially what they do. They hold the funds until they&#x

That's a completely fair assessment. I don't fault 'you guys' at all because I don't expect your brain works like mine. Read: I don't think you're wrong and I'm right...never. What I fear myself is

I agree with this. Go works like my brain, and I don't mind that. Sure you can do X in some fancy way in other languages, but that just leads to feature creep. I've never read Go code I didn't understand at first glance. I

If you're serious about mechanical watches or have a small addiction like me, I'd highly recommend buying an old school timegrapher and regulating(link below). I have a rather ridiculous collection of Orients, and some were off by

Well, glad he's coming around. Years back he seemed to stand by the notion that Python wasn't slow, showing a toy example. I remember thinking it was just condescending, whether intentional or not.

Out of curiosity, how much would such a thing cost? I'd love a 'dumb' display, but it would be hard for me to justify dropping thousands to have one, when I'm perfectly satisfied just leaving the internet disconnected fr

That's kinda a shame. I have an Aukey keyboard, and mpow headphones. Both vastly exceeded my expectations. I wonder why they are begging for reviews in the first place, that's behavior I would expect from shady junk peddlers.

Nice story, thanks for sharing. A shame this isn't written down someplace. I'm still learning and trying to teach my daughter, myself.

Based on the description, guessed 'nagle' without any debugging. Not sure if it implies I was right or wrong, but it explained Nagle's algorithm. Asked what to do about it and typed 'tcpnodelay'. It replied it was

Assumptions based on contributing factors. You had people more or less hold off on everything for a year, which tanked suppliers. Now that there's light at the end of the tunnel, everyone is buying making up for lost time, while supp

Is it still considered inflation if it's rather temporary? I agree whole heartedly with your comment, was just curious about the terminology since inflation usually seems to imply a...longer term trend.

I've lived in three cities, none of them 'big', with no input lag problems. I have no idea where they put the machines, but I'm rather confident it's at more places than the GCP datacenters based on my ping times.

This is where Microsoft has won. Gamepass is that. I don't even have to buy games anymore, there's so much available 'free' to play.

I agree, but it's been the case for a long time, and directly correlated to the propagation of the cell phone. I remember I went to a summer camp at college some 20+ years ago now. It was a blast, and I made a ton of friends because i

Same here. Mid 30s and my memory is completely shot. Here's hoping it's not permanent or an early sign of things to come :(.

I'll say it: boxing these days is boring. I used to watch it as a kid also. Admittedly I don't follow it as I used to, but I don't know of anyone with explosiveness like say, Tyson. Or young Holyfield. Somewhere along the

Agreed. It wouldn't surprise me at all if there were actuaries out there telling companies that it's cheaper to pay ransoms if and when they occur than to hire dedicated security. Which probably is true, at face value.

Good points all around. Since work is so vital to our everyday survival, and as pointed out, often health insurance, it should be much harder or with much better reason to fire someone than what currently exists today(which, in most states

I certainly didn't mean to offend you, or to pretend things today are worse than at any point in the past. It was more an argument against this weird celebration of getting people fired. I mean, there's even a subreddit called B

Sure, but it's worth considering whether we should care about stepping on the right-holder's toes. That's what got us into corporate controlled speech, doxing, and twitter mobs in the first place. Read, people wouldn't

Not necessarily. There are already basic protections in place. For example, it would be expressly illegal for a workplace to fire you for being a satanist. I don't see a problem with extending such protections to include more free spe

It's not nearly that simple. You can essentially print an opinion based only in fact, both by picking carefully which stories you cover, and also which details of which story you choose to report. It's completely possible to fra

OK. And I've also cringed watching ninjas step through code slowly, reading everything, spending 20 mins catching something 2 print statements would have achieved. Debuggers aren't bad. But neither is printing. Knowing when to

Unfortunately, I do. I am very tall with bad knees and while some sedans fit me fine, getting in and out of them is excruciating. About the smallest thing I've been comfortable with is a Chevy Equinox, to give you a size comparison.

There are three models of cybertruck. The most expensive, 70k version, has a 500 mi range. That's what I was referring to as higher end.

As someone who drives about 300 miles each way rather regularly, for me it -is- a real concern. Re: battery swapping, are you referring to the idea of like, hot swapping batteries on the road, or swapping to an upgraded battery at some poin
