It's just really hard to see whether your solar install actually generates any power since it's free of moving parts. Solar installs are one of the few areas where data isn't just a gimmick but actually crucial to efficiently

Yeah it could, but users don’t want to manage that sort of thing. People want flashy apps. I’m perfectly happy to manage my own house and run everything through Home Assistant strictly locally. But I know for a fact that this is something t

Why would you not want to see how your solar system runs? You can’t easily verify that it’s actually generating energy as you expect it to if you don’t look at the data

Stores implemented limits per person/household, but you could easily work around those if you really wanted to. It wasn’t rationing on a federal or even just state level.

I work for a C++ company but the game we work on has a debug telnet server. It’s super useful to inspect state or even run automation scripts. Also has a bunch of useful debug commands like the ability to live reload shaders or change how v

That’s somewhat still the case, humans could do a much better job at efficient layouting. The problem is that humans don’t scale as well, laying out billions of transistors is hard for humans. But computers can do it if you forego some effi

This is not true. I frequently run heavy compile jobs on my Windows machine that peg all cores to 100%. If I don’t tell Visual Studio to run the compile tasks with background priority, they will starve the window server of resources a s mak

Your laptop most certainly has a GPU, even if it's not a dedicated one. All modern desktop environments use GPU acceleration, it's just that integrated GPUs are good enough for anything but the most demanding games. They are also

Hitting a combination of #, * and 0 seems to still do the trick for most places. That and excessive swearing at the robot.

As someone who similarly suffers from AI fatigue, I already do. I can’t wait for the AI hype cycle to follow the blockchain path, I just hope whatever comes afterwards isn’t even worse.

Isn’t it the exact opposite? If it just says zone 6, it’s the old system because no a or b suffix. If the number space got doubled zone 6 would still exist but mean something completely different now. You can’t tell if it’s the old or new s

I would argue that a pile of textiles might be slightly less toxic. But yes, obviously we can’t just dump everything into the ground and ignore the problem.

The thing is, the original iPhone was bad. By today standards. But it came out at a time when it was leaps and bounds ahead of a good chunk of the competition. But you can’t release a product like that anymore, at least if you are Apple. Pe

This reads like a scene from Silicon Valley. Good for you my man, but what does that have to do with being shaped by one’s experiences?

Because normally you aren’t supposed to just let strangers wander off with your credit cards.

How is that a worse experience? I don’t have to mess around the bill to add a tip, I just punch it into the machine and then tap my card or phone. It also makes it super easy to split a bill if you are in a group.

That’s insane. Here in Canada the waiter/waitress brings a portable pos terminal to the table and you pay through that. I’d be incredibly uncomfortable if they ran away with my credit card.

You can always tell what part of the HN regularly goes outside and interacts with normal people. I’m sorry but “just memorize the CVV and erase it from the card” isn’t something anyone really does. The comment that Google Wallet is more sec

And in the HN discussion about Garnet, someone said they’d never go into bed with MS. Their argument was that MS is just going to do bait and switch and will just change the license when it suits them, therefore Redis is superior because th

Some people will talk about ideals all day without even realizing that they too live in the real world. So many things could be great, it’s just not the reality that we are in.

Can you claim to be a winner under the rules of a game that won’t be invented yet for hundreds of years?

And that’s it? Just sink or swim, don’t even try to mitigate anything? That’s such a wild attitude.

I'm mostly with you, and for the record have both used OpenGL and Vulkan professionally in shipped titles. I personally have no interest in going back to OpenGL. But I think the disconnect is that neither you nor me have any reason to

I also am a graphics programmer and lead Vulkan developer at our company. I love Vulkan. I wouldn’t touch OpenGL with a 10 foot pole. But I also have years of domain expertise and OpenGL is hands down the better beginner choice. The Vulkan
