A lot of his buildings that were actually built were materialized sketches. Fallingwater was underbuilt, and Usonian homes are a bit awkward to live in because Wright glossed over important livability features.

Sounds like my 6th Gen X1, only I replaced the battery last fall. I also noticed the display glitches sometimes when I open it, and the USB-C ports have connection issues sometimes.

There are too many distros. Even the Gnome/KDE split has been unproductive. Desktop linux would have done better with more resources polishing a single product rather than making 20 half-baked products.

I've used windows for 30+ years, and I'm getting a Mac this year. I seriously considered Linux on a Thinkpad and even test-drove Debian on my older X1 Carbon. I tried, but too many things didn't quite work. I'd get stuck

Something I've mulled over in the past is what a market-driven pricing model for streams would look like. Newer songs are generally worth more than older songs, and lean-in listening costs more because the user actually wants to hear a

There just isn't much value in most old films. There are a handful of standouts per year, and anything in a major franchise, but the demand for everything else is low, so you might as well make it as easy to find as possible and get wh

The thing that's lowered it most in the last many years has been Roblox. What's raised it the most is the decline of desktop computing and the rise of app computing.

Broader question, but whatever happened to every university with a CS department hosting mirrors of popular distros? I always assumed CDNs replaced them, but seeing this, maybe they didn't.

Secret witnesses aren't allowed to testify in the US. Not that these were court trials.

Could you also use ZFS or BTRFS with copies? I'm not sure I'd trust any of these drives.

I back up important things on SLC USB-A flash drives and write refreshed copies at least annually. The drives are small (<=8GB), expensive, there are only a handful of manufacturers (mine's an ATP), and you're probably ordering

I hope you realize you're doing an experiment with your health. We don't have studies on the long-term effects of this degree of isolation from everyday pathogens. It could go either way, but so much human adaptation is use it or

There are two main issues. Servers are configured differently (config files, puppet) with static configs. This works great for server deployments. On laptops, too much is always changing--new networks, powering on and off, etc. The other is

Joke all you want, it's a very interesting second-order effect that most people probably weren't thinking about.

> However, as dev utilization is high, service times become elevated as well. As things take longer and longer to turn around Funny enough, this is exactly like running a server. Once CPU is over ~80%, request latency increases quickly.

If we see more accidents a year from now, you have a point. The most you can really blame on leadership changes right now is stress from worrying about your next paycheck. Even then, this looks like a military pilot screwed up doing a rou

I only have a passing interest in this, but DCA's approach is tricky, the airspace is complex and restricted, and then you mix in military pilots doing VIP helicopter training runs across the approach. The procedures make it safe-ish,

This is where LLMs are worse than even incompetent people. People at least know when they don't know something, and might even be truthful about it. LLMs don't know they don't know.
