A lot of electricity in the US is charged differently during "off-peak hours". I know some EV owners who take advantage of this by scheduling when they charge their cars.

I'm aware, which is why I phrased it like I did. A lot of folks don't know or understand the distinction when they're installing Git (or installing something else that happens to bring Git with it). The overarching point is t

There's a lot of different ways to install Git on a lot of different OSes, and some of them put helper shell scripts down by default.

I still think you're right, Reddit has a much higher signal to noise ratio than almost anywhere else on the internet. But there's absolutely money to made by paying off mods of larger subreddits to curate content in such a way tha

Would you mind giving an example of what that might look like? Or linking to something? I've always struggled with needing to open ports temporarily on stuff behind my own reverse proxy to avoid passing the certs by hand, and it sounds

It'd be awesome if I could import my Google Maps location history into something like this so I can stop giving them my GPS data forever. I just find it so damn useful, but I'd like to port it over, wipe it, and start on something

If lockdown WFH has taught me anything, it's that the times that we've set for doing activities day-to-day is totally arbitrary. I work with people across all timezones now, and it's clear that the way that I set the clock is

This is too real for me. I worked as a college hire PM for almost 8 years at $BigTech company on a single product that got re-orged around divisions as it evolved to a mature product that would likely never grow nor disappear. I wasn't

Bums me out too...I've been so so disappointed by every change between GPM and YTP/YTM, but I can't pull myself away for anything else. Plexamp is fantastic, but it's not enough catalog for me (yet?), and Family is just

Society says some stuff is bad that's not actually that bad. Children and teenagers should not be able to do some things that adults are allowed to do. These are not mutually exclusive. An 18+ rating on Deus Ex is dumb for a mature 16

I'm signed into an Apple ID on my one Mac machine so that I can use the App Store and to use iMessage/FaceTime despite my lack of an iPhone. I unchecked all the iCloud stuff as fast as I could because I wasn't prompted after

Unfortunately, the devil is in the details of that "essentially" and "simplified UI". CarPlay seems magic (though admittedly I don't own an iPhone), but Android Auto has been riddled with problems around whether the

I drive a 2005 stick shift that sits on a Toyota Corolla block. It has a dumb radio with real buttons, and no power windows or power locks. It's amazing. Maintenance is cheap, stuff works. I have a Bluetooth FM radio dongle, and the au

I totally agree with you around regarding the way sexuality is treated here in the US, and think you're on the whole correct that socially we soft censor a whole lot. But when you say "vibrant right wing" and they're &qu

I didn't know this was a thing that had a term either! I don't talk politics anymore except with folks that I explicitly know want to talk politics, but I frequently suggest that people shouldn't use a whole litany of terms i

Shouldn't those all be true of ISPs too, though? Why are telcos different? Is it just because they need stricter QoS because of airwaves vs. cables? Do you think that argument still holds water in a post-5G-saturated world?

It wasn't necessarily the standard or even the majority, but we had that with Sysops whenever "the build team" or "the deployment team" was building self-serve tools. And I definitely agree with the article here tha

Great, but you're computer-savvy. You know not to click the 9 phony "Download" buttons and to find the nondescript text that says "Download link (slow)", and you probably don't even end up on sites like that in

Even worse, they just took the opportunity to pay off the govt to avoid disclosing exactly to what extent they lied. At this point, what basis is there to presume that their reserve is non-zero?

Legal matters have ramifications. She can never live in the US ever again. The loss of that option alone would be emotional for me, knowing that I have to chunk up time with loved ones into 90 day periods, or knowing that I never the option

Sure, but it definitely avoids a bunch of the problems mentioned in this thread. It's annoying that you have to dig so hard to even make Hibernate visible next to Sleep, Shutdown, and Reboot on the various power menus. I recently switc

I would assume it's the upbringing because I don't think impulse control is actually a very natural behavior. There's a reason it's called "primal rage". On the flip side, self-control, impulse control, being a

I agree with you, but also having maintained a fairly large corporate OSS project, our backlog has gotten unsustainable. We've thrown more bodies at the problem, and are trying to deputize more of the community, but I really don't
