Damn I’m paying 0.104/kWh in Jacksonville, FL. We have a public utility company (JEA) that NextEra Energy (FPL’s parent) has been trying to get its hands on. They promise lower rates, yet in parts of Florida where FPL is the utility co

SongShift is what I use. The free version works well enough, and goes either way between Apple Music and Spotify, probably supports other services.

Las Vegas too, and to some extent Denver/Pueblo/Fort Collins. A lot of people don’t seem to realize that Colorado is basically “cold desert”. Like yeah it’s not 115 degrees, but it’s still a very arid climate.

All my Reddit accounts are banned now, but back in the day I was contributing how-to posts and the like. I was a mod on a larger subreddit too. The bans were mostly “incorrect” and a result of automation e.g. “X people reported it so it mus

This fits perfectly with their new, greedy persona. Plus, data is cheap to store, especially if it’s already stored. It would cost them more to delete the data and repurpose the hard drives.

Managers are often like Vorta (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine). The Jem’hadar obey and grind literally to death, and in exchange the Vorta give them a little bit of a drug to keep them from feeling like shit. Man that’s probably a metaphor for

I would surmise that it’s possible for fentanyl to be in one part of the “drug” but not the part that is necessarily used on the test strip?

As far as I know, all autoimmune diseases are more prevalent in women, so I’m skeptical that a gender-specific difference in gut immunity is at play, but it’s possible.

My degree is technically “Computing and Information Sciences”, and my university let me pick a concentration. Computer Science as a concentration seemed very math heavy, so I opted for Information Science, which I would describe as “practic

RSI is an umbrella term for a myriad of diseases/disorders/syndrome and they each have their own causes and treatments and rarely is it so damning as to end a career or even warrant a $350 Kinesis keyboard.

Yeah it seems decent enough for non-devs but iCloud has always been buggy for me and everyone I know that uses it. I don’t have a Mac anymore but I do have an iPhone.

So you won’t be able to scale the display, meaning 2x all UI elements. You used to be able to, but Apple removed that feature in the last couple of years. There was a sort of hackey workaround you could do on x86 macs, but it doesn’t work o

I’ve been doing this for 8 years and I have the unfortunate pattern of quitting my job after a year or two because it goes to hell. One job had us logging our time in two different places- we needed to log exactly what we were working on an

But these days macOS and iOS are as similar as ever. I’m actually hoping Apple releases an iPad that runs macOS or a MacBook with a touch screen. I think they will do one or both eventually.

Yeah it’s top-tier hardware, but the software limits it. My main issue has been with Docker, which has been discussed to death here on HN in various threads.

I was listening to a Python podcast a few months ago where they were hating on macOS/Macs and it really resonated with me. They were saying it was becoming a common sentiment to move away from Macs, and this is after their throttling i

It’s provocative, it gets the people going! (“Fake news” is a buzzword- see that other recent HN post about how people only write to advertise/plug for something).

I remember something about Aljazeera around ten years ago where Aljazeera America (AJAM) was remove from cable TV networks in the US. Something to do with their affiliation with middle eastern countries I think. I’m not sure that’s enough r

Taking a 20% pay cut has never been an issue for me and I doubt it’s an issue for most software engineers who are pulling six figures even at 80% their “full” salary. The issue is getting a “manager” to agree to it. I would suppose the crux

What’s an example of something you’d prefer a 32-bit CPU for over a 64-bit CPU?

The nano looks cool but to me there’s no point if I can’t get 32GB of RAM.

They finally catered to devs in the last few years but it’s already too late for many of us because macOS is garbage now. The ARM transition makes it worse. I use Linux now.

If Nvidia did something that sounds pro-consumer in any way, it’s not because they give a damn about consumers, it’s because it coincidentally made good business sense also
