@cryptonector - but did they have a 60% margin in either house? 50%+1 isn't enough (AFAIK) to undo previously passed legislation.

This. They hate CA and will do anything to try to make them look bad because we call out their BS. See Los Angeles right now as an example.

I didn't get it either, but now I'm just sad that it's come to this, where we have to replace 5 characters with 9 just to seem "cool". Sure, it's 2 syllables instead of 4, but then we REALLY should have avoided

After 30+ years in the software field, and a user for 40+, having at times heavily customized my desktop or editor, for example - I've concluded that the best thing for most apps is for me to learn to use them with stock settings. Why?

I guess they've watched the expansion between two galaxies over time and found it increasing? Otherwise, the fact that "the further away from us they are, they faster they were receding" made me think of this way: -the furthe

Just curious what area you work in? Python or some kind of web service / Jscript? I'm sure the LLMs are reasonably good for that - or for updating .csv files (you mention spreadsheets). I write code to drive hardware, in an unusua

With VS Code and Augment (company won't allow any other AI, and I'm not particularly inclined to push - but it did just switch to o4, IIRC), the main benefit is that if I'm fiddling / debugging some code, and need to add

Yeah - even with PGE trying their best to screw over solar customers in the last few years, I figure we've at least gotten our money back in ~15 years of owning a ~4KW system. Something like 75 MW generated in that time, assuming the i

My intuition: the value of a cell can represent the result of multiple (many) time units used to compute something. If you cannot store enough intermediate results, you may end up needing to recalculate the same / similar results over

I mean, on the one hand, sure, but on the other hand - the "anointed one" himself, DJT, is pushing AI, so I'm sure it will be fine. Unlike that heathen Joe Biden who attends more church services in a month than DJT in a year.

In the world right now, how many transaction per second in $USD are ongoing? 1000? 100,000? Visa can handle 20K/s, IIRC. Bitcoin can handle what, 3-7 per second?? Yeah, that'll scale up to "the world currency".

What is the equivalent website to https://web3isgoinggreat.com for banks, and what is the relative %age lost/stolen on a daily/weekly/monthly basis? I'll bet it's WAY higher for crypto.

I think the OP means in a manual transmission. Auto will decouple at low speeds / engine braking won't be as severe. In a manual car, in 1st gear, I could possibly see it. As someone who grew up BEFORE ABS, drove in the winter (in

You've clearly never been to the US.. Late-stage capitalism will find ways to make it cost exactly as much as driving your own car. OTOH, if I'm in a decent-sized car (minivan?) for 45 minutes+, I can get work done. I can then sta

You are free to fork their code, add your fix, open a bug-tracking system, start a forum, guarantee response times, etc to "help the community". Not everyone has time for a second or third full-time job.

There's your problem - the word "rationally". NOTHING about MAGA / Trump is rational - it's all based on feelings.

This. Anything (accidentally) good was totally intended by Trump. Anything bad was because of evil ultra-leftists sabotaging his intended good, and not because Trump made even the tiniest of mistakes.

Agreed. A course that did not distribute slides / lecture notes 35 years ago when I studied (well known engineering school in Canada) was considered annoying / the prof trying to force students to attend.

It depends on the subject, of course. By the time someone has written a book on "programming language du jour" (say, Rust right now), and gotten it published and printed, it will be 1-2 years out of date. And students will complai
