I read this view as: it’s fine to steal a car without an immobilizer. That’s an insane take (and why we can’t have nice things). Meanwhile other modern countries (albeit with much stricter law enforcement and a more unified value system) ca

What harm did Kia cause its customer? How are those locks adequate in say, South Korea, where there are 1:20,000 car thefts per capita yearly vs 1:350 in the US. The locks are not the problem. Stealing cars is the problem.

Or, you know, the people _stealing_ cars. I feel like this is bizarro world where what was previously accepted as adequate deterrence is now penalized because actual criminals have fewer and fewer incentives to follow established normal beh

I’m not sure if it’s sarcasm or not, but The Devil’s Chessboard lays out a case for the CIA acting as the military arm of the rich and powerful starting basically at its inception. All of the “communist” overthrows in the 50s and 60s happen

There’s at least one open source remote play client that could work on the Steam Deck, and the official one if booted into windows.

Python needs an ld.so and libc (minimally) but not a shell or other external utilities. Shebang scripts are loaded by ld.so, not the shell.

I think his conclusion about pivoting when a more efficient method was necessary is totally reasonable. I would wager a significant amount of any frame-by-frame animation takes similar shortcuts, so it doesn’t reduce the quality of the fina

I like split ergonomic keyboard, and Alps switches, and prefer a Mac keyboard, if possible. Unfortunately, the Mattias Ergo Pro I’ve had since launch was not particularly reliable. Apple’s ergonomic keyboard has odd choices for function but

I play Overwatch with my sons and not only can you not run a personal server, the game frequently has fundamental mechanic changes for certain characters (and all characters in this Tuesday’s update). The Overwatch of a year ago is a very d

And amazing. I normally don’t play games through multiple times in a row, but I played Replicant through Al endings and then finished the endings in Autamata immediately after.

After DE-10 Nanos what up in price (likely due to MiSTer), there was rumblings that it was too tied to the hardware to be portable. I missed out when things were cheap and always assumed buying a board at the higher prices would be the trig

Yes! In my periphery it looked like a polygon but when I focused on the edges it seemed like a properly antialiased circle.

I would wager the number of people in the US with a smart token (I’m assuming you mean something like a Yubikey, ≈22M worldwide, most users have two) is probably close to 1:1. I would also wager the number of people with dumb phones are clo

That’s why they choose something not directly associated with race like socioeconomic environment. If the result is correlated with race, that’s not necessarily an issue with admission processes. There are other non-academic tests like CogA

I have an iPod shuffle first generation and the form factor is nearly perfect. It has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack on one end and a USB-A connector on the other end. Unfortunately, the battery is dead and not very user serviceable. For s

When Costco still did printing we printed serval of those out as posters and hung them up in the kid’s bathroom. The designs are pretty timeless and are fun to daydream about.

It’s not as if Apple provides server side tooling anymore. Though, even if they weren’t going to provide a server OS, it seems like they could still offer IDE support for the droves of web devs working on Macs a deploying to Linux (like I a

NeXT used a text format for Plist[0] (which Amazon’s Brazil Config looked very similar to) but was deprecated relatively early in OS X’s lifetime. All of the plutils can still read it, but none of them will write it. The biggest drawback wa

That looks really nice. I like the idea of a sub-shell where all the work is either committed or reverted. I would like to see something like a “workspace” where even untracked files can be shelved in a named space and returned (or picked)

Yeah, that’s my method as well. Start big and even fix nits along the way. Anything that’s in the way is fair game as long as all of the tests are passing. As fundamental, atomic changes are discovered, peel those off into separate commits

Nearly 20 years ago there was an OS X screensaver that would capture all the window buffers and then float them around the screen as they rotated various ways. Another app would save a snapshot of all windows as Photoshop layers with approp
