IMO: 1: The price posted should be the price you pay. (Include all taxes, fees, gratuities, ect.) 2: The price posted should be a multiple of $0.05, $0.10, or $0.25 Problem solved.

This is a very solved problem. EV chargers can change the rate at which the car is charging. I have a double-charger at home. If I plug in one car, it gets 40 amps. When I plug in two, both cars get 20 amps until one finishes, then it doe

There was a problem with using flavoring agents that aren't meant to be inhaled. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchiolitis_obliterans#E-cig... : > The American Lung Association listed use of flavored e-c

That's an invalid argument: Digitally tweaking color when printing film has nothing to do with how long it takes to render 3d. They had a custom built film printer and could make adjustments there.

TMux doesn't run on Windows. (Kinda implied, because I stated I use Visual Studio.)

I just took lazygit for a spin: In general, the tool looks cool. It also looks like it takes time to learn; but if you find it useful, it's probably worth it taking the time to learn. There were two blockers for me: 1: I can't fre

If you have to explain it that way, you're going waaaay over most peoples' heads. That's why I suggest "flea market" or "art fair." Those are pretty much exactly like what's shown in the video. Where

It just gets stuck in your head and is something to laugh at. The kids who are into it are too young to remember the other catch phrases we got into. My four year old repeats it all the time, which keeps it stuck in my head. I'm just w

When I get these, there's usually enough context that I can find the actual text. That being said, I've had to twist some arms in a previous job for new employees attaching screenshots of a log viewer instead of the whole logs. Th

If it's going on, it's probably not in the threads that I read. Hacker News has no ads: It has to support someone's agenda, otherwise it would be a charity.

I don't get it: In the US (and probably the rest of the English speaking world,) "black market" means illegal goods : Illegal drugs, media piracy, stolen items, banned items, items that bypass taxes, illegal guns, ect. These

Pretty much any comment that runs contrary to the current hype narrative gets downvoted: 10 years ago, if you pointed out that cryptocurrency is a scam, you get downvoted. Today, if you point out that AI isn't going to live up to the h

> No matter what, the whole ICE acting like the SS thing will only result in more illegal migration in the long term, like a lot more. I don't follow. Illegal immigration into the US is down right now. So, how did you arrive at that

I can think of many uses for "surveillance state technology" that have nothing to do with immigration: It can be used against citizens and legal residents too.

I think the author's (pugworthy's) intent was to disincentivize doctors who take advantage of fee-for-service. For example, a few years ago, I started getting Plantar Faucitis. (Basically, foot pain that happens in middle age.) My

Oooh, then it makes sense why there isn't a good set of layers: XmlReader -> (XmlDocument or XmlSerializer) generally hits all use cases for serialization well. XmlReader is super-low-level streaming, when you need it. XmlDocument i

I do think DEC64 has merit: Most of the time, I'd prefer to be able to reason about how non-integers are handled; and I just can't reason about traditional floating point. Yes, Doug does bloviate quite a bit. (And when I asked him

Take a look at C# / dotnet. The XML parser that's been around since the early 2000s is awesome, but the JSON libraries are just okay. The official JSON library leaves so much to be desired that the older, 3rd party library is of

I just purchased some computer glasses that are optimized for about 38 inches. (A little short of a meter.) I get no eyestrain, and looking far away isn't awful.

"Cheaters": Get the lowest power reading glasses they sell at the drug store. You can also order 0.75 diopter glasses on Amazon that work real well.

I dare you to name your kids UUIDs and see what happens. I suspect when they are old enough to change their names, they will. For example, Wavy Gravy's son changed his name back to a normal family name: https://en.wikipedia.
