Surely they would do this for leases instead of sales? Why would Ford want to do this for sales anyway, in the case of a sale, the financing company pays ford in full. The only exception would be if ford financed the car with its own financ

This game was so fun! It was one of the things that got me interested in software development, along with Learn to Program BASIC (a game about programming games)

This doesn’t make sense to me unless it moves you into a lower tax bracket or something. Eg. If you made $100k and were taxed at 30%, you’d get paid net $70k. If you took a 20% gross pay cut, you’d get paid $80k gross and $56k net. 56k is 2

With 40 billion dollars on the line? I think it’d make more sense to think through things and evolve it over time rather than shooting from the hip constantly. Morale at Twitter must be even lower than Amazon at this point.

Here in Portland you kinda have to put a roasted on date if you want your coffee to sell… that is, if people don’t buy directly from the roaster. If you want some amazing coffee, check out Nossa Familia. They are vertically integrated (own

If bitwarden is compromised, I won’t be impacted. My single server is much less likely to be compromised because the payoff of compromising it is so small. The password vault is encrypted based on your master password, so it isn’t like the

Probably because you could self-host your own password manager for free with serverless solutions (low maintenance). Part of the migration away from LastPass. Personally I just run it on a DigitalOcean droplet with several other containers,

I think the problem is that some of the Turing machines are infinite, so getting 47 million steps in is the _entrypoint_ and you must then run until it halts (or you determine it’s not going to halt somehow). So the search space is unbounde

If everything’s built against an abstracted SDK, they could have games ported over with just a recompile potentially. If the new system is much higher performance then any optimizations against ARM would be a non issue. If they allow lower

I think as single computers get more and more power, and engineers work in these super slow, eventually consistent cloud infrastructures, there’s a visceral appeal of an architecture that can run on my laptop and also scale to a reasonable

Cloth actually tends to age better in my experience. Automotive leathers are often bonded and sealed leathers these days, so they have a finite amount of moisture and colorant that wear out over time. Cloth is quite durable as long as you d

wasm doesn’t have threads right now, so I wonder if you couldn’t just make multiple wasm processes and implement message passing between them to get around this limitation? I imagine if you’re building something where 4 gigs of Ram is a lim

No, I don’t think you read that correctly. The thing that’s removed is the advertisement, not the news. Eg if I tweeted “HackerNews sucks”, they would not want to pay to advertise on or near my tweet. They would rather advertise in a more n

Is there still a point to this now that .NET 7 has NativeAOT and self contained EXEs? does this just give native trimming? Lack of macOS support seems like a non starter for a lot of cross platform cli tooling. Regular .NET can’t do AOT for

I think this is a bit of a red herring. ULIDs are not meant as a replacement for a lamport timestamp or something. The accuracy to the millisecond would only be correctly ordered if the clocks were perfectly synchronized anyway. I interpret

Gift cards don’t have a value until you purchase them, the package is meaningless. The barcode is scanned and the value is added when the transaction is completed.

What does it matter about SEO spam if it’s not linking to any sources and is seemingly generating original content? There’s no benefit to trying to optimize content for a generalized AI because there’s no way to know how it will be leverage

Musk is being revealed as an emperor with no clothes. He was originally lauded because he had great ideas, put his money where his mouth was, and delivered some great products. And yeah, his companies needed to be a grind to succeed where s

You just set milestones every couple weeks of effort and invoice at the end of each one, and withhold delivery of the finished product until full payment is received… if a client doesn’t want to pay or is too difficult, fire the client and

What about people with disabilities who wouldn’t be able to get a license, and can’t afford / don’t have a way to travel to get ID at the DMV or whatever? Also, do you think Facebook should have more requirements to access than going t

I recall one of these transcription bots recently sending out an email summary to everyone on the invite and creeping everyone out. Don’t remember if this was the specific one or not.

Stadia failed too… but was that just google pulling the plug, or the whole concept that doesn’t make sense? Personally I’ve tried stadia and ps now, and they both have noticeable artifacting, lower resolution, and input latency, on a 1 gig

You could just wrap the web app in Capacitor for mobile and Electron for desktop, and easily use a SQLite db for unlimited persistence. If someone is interested in offline support, I don’t think it is a dealbreaker to have to download an ap

I’ve found that text.npr.org is really good for me. They don’t have pagination, only a handful of new articles a day, and no images. The lack of images really helps with some graphic stories being less emotionally impactful. Other than that

VR is super fun for early adopters, just like early games. A ton more people play games now than they did 20 years ago.
