Every time I've done a cost benefit analysis of AWS Lambda vs running a tiny machine 24/7 to handle things, the math has come out in favor of just paying to keep a machine on all the time and spinning up more instances as load inc

For a long time (years) there was a bug in Firefox that'd prevent a Windows machine from going to sleep if webgl content was loaded in any FF tab. So anyway that killed one of my laptop's batteries. So much for supporting Interne

It is actually the largest car I've ever owned, and if it was up to me it'd be a few inches narrower in the very least. I prefer sub-compacts. As it is I miss my first car, I could squeeze in-between almost any 2 cars and be able

Because smart glasses, that flash a light and make a loud noise when taking a picture, are more invasive than phones literally everywhere? Or street billboards with built in cameras? Or how about dash cams in cars? CCTV cameras on ATMs as y

The audio really is banging. Everything from dubstep to heavy metal to classical it handles as well as any car audio system will (which is to say garbage compared to even a mediocre home audio setup, but all car audio sucks due to acoustics

Lane keeping works (poorly) but Bolt's automatic cruise control implementation is really good and works in stop and go traffic and at street speeds. I've used ACS systems before that refused to work in both those scenarios. Chargi

You'd run into the same issues if you followed a slightly outdated medium tutorial on the topic! React had this issue when they changed away from create react app. Basically every tutorial for years was instantly made obsolete, despite

Tech companies pumped massive money into coding boot camps, overproduced coders, market crashes, salaries go down (or at least stagnate). My understanding is the same thing recently happened to pharmacists.
