I saw both a Rivian and a Cybertruck at an RV park just a month ago. No idea what kind of range they get towing but I was impressed someone was actually using them as real trucks. The vast majority of vehicles were three-quarter-ton or bett

Glad to know I'm not alone in my mental modeling of Bloom filters as just hash tables that only track the buckets which have data but not the actual data itself.

GC usually only runs when the process wants to allocate an object but there's no space left on the heap. It's entirely possible that it did a bunch of work previously which created a bunch of garbage now waiting to be cleaned up.

This has always been an issue with Gecko and the Mozilla codebase. It was a massive blow to the Mozilla community when Safari was released using KHTML instead of Gecko. Google then adopted WebKit (itself an evolution of KHTML) for Chrome, a

My experience with DEI programs at Fortune 500 companies is as follows. At one, candidates got a special box ticked on the list if they met diversity criteria, where one is considered diverse if they're from what is considered an under

Sounds rather similar to what The Economist purports to support (or at least used to) but with more of a tilt towards personal liberties. That's open to interpretation but could be pro free speech, pro gun rights, pro reproductive righ

The percentage of federal taxes paid by income looks like this: Top 1%: 40.4% Top 5%: 61% Top 10%: 72% Top 25%: 87.2% Top 50%: 97% Bottom 50%: 3% That hardly looks regressive. Is there some other standard by which you are j

Hiring managers love referrals. You can spend weeks going through resumes and doing interviews hoping to find that perfect candidate (and they better be as perfect as can because you won't be able to just get rid of them on a whim if t

You are trying to draw a parallel between mass deportation and genocide that I do find valid. Rounding up people for deportation may be considered a violent act but not nearly to the degree of intentional mass murder. Also alluding that mig

Depending on the specifics, that sounds congruent with some of Adam Smith's economic theories so it's not surprising to see such arguments used, especially if some of the authors are from the Adam Smith Institute. His whole invisi

I think to say that "Taliban controlling Afghanistan obviously wasn't a problem because they still do" is inaccurate. The problem the US had with the Taliban is that being an Islamic fundamentalist political entity, they prov

First $100M, then when that's not enough it'll be $50M, then $10M, then $1M, then $500k. The definition of "rich" will keep being adjusted down. And for what? So politicians can spend it on some photo-op project for the

Ideally you'd want businesses to voluntarily operate in these places but it's hard to get them to. It is difficult to operate at a profit in these environments. Margins are worse because poorer populations can less afford luxury i

I never understood why Hollywood insists on using A list actors to do voice acting for animated features. Most of the time it's not even apparent who's performing and I hardly find it a draw that some big name is listed on the bil

Bought our sectional from a Bassett showroom almost 10 years ago. Extremely comfortable and the thing still looks brand new. Checked a few items on their website and found that they're still made in North Carolina.

I find your take partisan. During primaries her competition tried to use it as leverage against her which is a completely normal thing to do in politics. It basically went away when Bernie, in one of the debates, decided he was tired of hea

In case my point there wasn't clear, it's common for people to adorn their property with their support for a campaign, such as lawn signs, bumper stickers, or pins. Such displays are rare at work, as most people have more tact tha

"Bring your whole self to work" is a joke unless you hold progressive opinions. Antifa and "resistance" stickers on laptops or backpacks are fine, as is openly wishing for the death or bodily harm of sitting politicians

You're equating giving money to the government with contributing to society, which is not the same thing. Politicians will give your money to any cause that will get them reelected, be that vanity projects or cronies that contribute t

Seems like there's a bunch of us with the same idea. Once W10 is end of life my plan is to build a new PC and run Linux on it. Gaming is my only reservation but hoping mostly a non issue by 2025.

I my guess is that what's really happening is that Apple is being paid off not to compete in search. As Google has shown, search can be incredibly lucrative. The profit motive would be pushing Apple to this end. They have a large base
