This thread reminded me of Blaise Pascal's quip "I would have written a shorter letter, but did not have the time." It's often easier to just throw in everything that's easy to do with little thought about cohesiven

That one is a little slower for me too - about 700 ms (it's a difficult thing to time with a stopwatch).

I know IT people often aren't given the time to dig into this stuff, but xperf and event tracing should reveal the culprit fairly quickly. The best resource for this kind of stuff is Bruce Dawson's blog: https://randoma

Sounds like something is wrong with your system. My work machine runs Windows 11 and it's fully up to date. Notepad starts pretty much instantly.

I just realized that Netflix’s Reed Hastings is the same Reed Hastings that wrote Purify - the excellent memory leak tool that was a pretty big deal back in the 90’s.

Who argued that? In 2008 Bitcoin was proposed as a peer-to-peer digital cash system. The comparison to gold didn't really take off until years later.

Not really, no. A decade ago it was under $1000 and has never been that low since. It's peak price is only about 2x the current price.

Would you say the same thing about Bitcoin? Will that house of cards all fall in the next crisis/downturn/depression?

As I understand it, KoReader doesn’t work with drm protected books which means I can’t use it with most books I buy. Ebook producers really should be forced to either drop drm or adopt a cross-platform standard.

They aren't publishing them on the web. They probably do keep records, but something doesn't have to be perfect in order to be better.

I'm not certain, but I think on my phone incoming calls that fail SHAKEN/STIR show the caller id in red rather than black text. I'm on T-Mobile. It also shows "Number Verified" or something like that.

Reading your description of what it did, $12 seems pretty inexpensive. That's a lot of work! If you knew up front it was a $12 fix, do you think you would have decided to just live with the scroll bar? Would have tried to fix it yourse

Do you think full self-driving (level 5) is near? Driving a car is something we teach children to do. Surely FSD has to be getting close, no? Is this something Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, Meta, or any of the other big AI investors are close
