The connection between the furnace and the thermostat probably shouldn't go through the internet. So it's perfectly reasonable for the furnace to turn off when it is disconnected, because disconnection would be a very strong signa

You can only make the argument that the Civic is "2% lighter" when it is being compared to a wagon; apples to oranges comparison that invalidates the whole comparison. They picked that specific year Accord because it's the sa

by kenhwang 1y ago
That article is being disingenuous and wrong. It's comparing the lightest possible Civic configuration with the heaviest possible Accord of a different body type. The 2000 Accord sedan is 2,712lbs, not 2,987lbs (which would be the wago

Even non-EVs have gotten quite a bit heavier due to the inclusion of more structural safety features and creature comforts.

I honestly love Ember.js, but a huge reason it had limited adoption was because it was extremely difficult to incrementally migrate to it. React could be introduced only where it was needed, but Emberjs really wanted to be everywhere and in

We had vm-per-app before docker, so it was still build the image, test, and ship, but it actually had everything it needed inside the vm. Docker helps with the portability due to it's ubiquitous it is now, but it's not like the vm

The lead developer is the person assigned to the lead developer role. I know it's cheeky but it really could be anyone. It's usually at least a senior-level individual contributor (IC). It's not uncommon for it to be a manage

They probably thought it would be easier to takeover rubygems than ensure every dev and every machine for every possible ruby tool could be and is pointed at the internal gem repository. Let's be paranoid for a moment. What if there&#x

The biggest problem I have with 11 is how unstable it is. Almost seems like there's a new BSOD trigger or data corruption bug introduced every month by Microsoft themselves, and 3rd party drivers fare even worse. A bunch of explorer an

Did you have an account manager or support contract with AWS? IME, they're more than willing to set up a call with one of their engineers to disclose implementation details like this after your company signs an NDA.

Top of my head switching between IntelliJ and Zed: - Git UI is extremely barebones with no support for other VCS - No merge tool or side-by-side diffs - Configuration is all JSON - Would be nice having a full file tree for the search editor

In theory, yes, if those shareholders each keep not attending the meeting called by the other shareholder, they could both independently pass or undo each other's actions. In practice in a hostile situation, they'll be courting th

Think of it like how Zuckerberg only owns 13% of Facebook but has >60% of the voting power. Japanese law allows corporations to only require 1/3 of voting shares present for quorum, and then a majority of those present to pass resol

Toyota owns a de facto controlling stake in Subaru (~20%). Due to typical Japanese corporation by-laws, it only takes 33% share ownership for uncontested control of a corporation, and >50% of 33% means they'll never lose a vote for

That's a trust account though, they're just holding shares on behalf of fund managers or individuals. They also generally don't vote. So for all intents and purposes, Toyota is the largest singular voting shareholder.

Here in Santa Monica, the Waymos will happily cut off pedestrians in crosswalks as soon as it decides it has waited reasonably long enough and it won't hit them. Same with 4-way stops: once it thinks it waited long enough, it doesn&#x2

Not sure why you have the impression Waymos follow written driving rules. Here in LA they break every rule that LA drivers would with the aggressiveness to match. It really does seem like they try to make them drive as "human" as

People in LA wait to jaywalk on the street or even in the suicide lane all the time. The Waymos handle it fine; generally by asserting it has right of way unless collision is obviously imminent. They'll even happily swerve around you i

Waymo in LA also drives pretty much like a human here would, which includes: not yielding for pedestrian-only crosswalks, running red lights, driving in the oncoming traffic/suicide/bike lane, occupying two lanes, blocking entranc

I echo the sound/dialog complaint for Andor as well. I think it's one of the few high production budget shows in recent memory that sounded like it was mixed for 2.0 audio. Watching on my 7.1 setup was actually more annoying than
