Yeah seconds per meter would be a more appropriate measure.

During covid you probably wanted a 70/30 split so you didn't get eaten by inflation, but I think 60/40 is probably a safer bet for the average person right now. I'd consider pulling back to 50/50 over the next 6 mon

Honestly one the best use cases I've found for it is creating configs. It used to be that I was able to spend a week fiddling around with, say, nvim settings. Now I tell an LLM what I want and it basically gives it to me without having

I have no idea how accurate this comment from last week is, or if it applies beyond games, but the model is interesting: > Japan has a scheme for orphaned games where if you can prove you did due diligence in searching for a rightsholder

I'm curious what HN is doing with their portfolios right about now. I'd be dumping NVDA and reallocating to more bonds for the time being.

My experience has been all Wranglers unless they have aftermarket "eyelids". I think their stock lights have zero angle and just blast straight ahead without pointing towards the ground. Most high intensity lights tend to point at

Honestly the worst offenders for shooting the lights right in your eyes are the Jeep Wranglers. I drive a work truck on occasion and the Jeeps are about the only vehicle that still get me looking for the fog line. High intensity lights are

I never return my carts. I used to bag groceries in a grocery store and whenever I got sick of customers and/or coworkers I'd go get the carts. The more carts far out in the parking lot the better, I could an entire shift without

So in the article I read on AP or Reuters, 1/8 freshmen had below a middle school level of proficiency in math. If you're from outside the US, middle school is for kids aged ~11-14.

Hey it's a start. Get people together who don't like Flock cameras and tell them about pulling the modem out of their vehicle and you'll get some bites.

I'm in the PNW and they put Flock cameras up in my area recently. Nobody likes them (libs or cons), and we've seen some rather creative approaches to uh...disabling them. One person took a pipe cutter to the mount and spirited the

Same. It looks like the print you see in old books. Very pleasing to the eye. The lower case 'm' sticks out to me though, the second hump is raised a little too high.

I've created something in a similar fashion. I have a dedicated machine for writing with ArchLinux, nvim+plugins, zk and kiwix. Not much else to it really. I've been thinking about pulling the wireless card out of it, but so far i

Crimes committed on or for social media (whether for likes or just by negligence, ie, distracted by your app while driving) should automatically get an additional sentence. Same idea as hate crimes, just for social media.

I'd say GNOME and the community were both at fault. GNOME 3 was awful when it rolled out and the devs didn't really listen to the community at all (they didn't have to, but they probably should have taken more feedback).

Same story here. My wife is not tech savvy at all but she likes Linux because it mostly just gets out of her way and the desktop doesn't really change drastically between updates. I haven't had to help her do anything on it in ove

If you're in America, take a look at the strobe on top of school busses. I'm not sure if they still have them (they used to). It would flash at a specific frequency and trip a photovoltaic sensor connected to the traffic light, wh

Speaking from personal experience, you should have the phone numbers of your attorney and your family members tattooed to the backs of your eyelids. And keep bail money under the insoles of your shoes. Cops never look there. Laugh it up, bu

I believe there's a modern (GM?) truck out there that has a belt rated for something like 250K miles...but when you have to replace it, the entire engine needs to be removed.

If you don't want to take the risk destroying or spray painting the lense or solar panels of these devices, a picket sign installed right in front of it works pretty well while probably not getting you sent to jail. You may even be abl
