Anyone that ever worked for a sufficiently large organization knows that $600 hammers are common, and in the grand scheme of things, one of the smallest grifts possible. I don't want to call it "corruption", but the scale of

“ Cummings: There is no evidence of mitigation. At NHTSA we couldn’t answer the question that you’re less likely to get in a crash—no data.” Compared to what? I find this very hard to believe. Surely forward collision avoidance systems have

I have seen quite a few people sewn up after surgery and with few exceptions the work that is visible has always looked sloppy to me. Crooked incisions, odd spacing of stitches, knots that look like 4+ half hitches stacked on top of each o

Man what a nightmare. I work at a place that still to this day runs on a mainframe with programs mostly written in assembly. It’s the pure essence of the boomer mentality manifest in software. All the people involved got theirs and retired

Exactly my though. OP is going to go from hero to zero at year end close.

I guess things like dropbox passwords are going to get even less attention now. That’s a pity because I actually like it and think it has a lot of potential.

I would love to hear more about your experience and how it measurably improved your life. My point though is not that it is impossible for people to see real benefits. My point is that the vast majority of people that have tried it don’t se

I have had really, really bad trips on weed and alcohol. No way in hell I am trying anything else. It makes me really uneasy to hear normies going on about trying this and that. They all have some vague yet beneficial reasoning for why they

It’s a different kind of overhead. But I will take the tradeoff between ten 10 line methods and one 100 line method every time. I stand a much better chance of successfully modifying and testing the former.

If you plan on never changing away from postgres, never having to shard, never needing to do anything that a trigger can’t support, then it is a good option. Which may be true for the vast majority of the apps. You also need sql expertise i

I decided to give in to the hype and let GPT “help” me on a recent project doing some ansible automation. Instead of googling things or looking things up in the docs I asked chatgpt first. It was really nice putting in a question and gettin

I feel like they went through a similar cycle at some point with the iPhone. They got to a point where they were so good and so expensive it was not necessary at all to upgrade every year. Now it is generally accepted that phones are upgrad

Full self driving, all truck drivers and cabbies being jobless, etc. is what immediately came to mind. We are probably closer to another AI winter than we think.

It's not surprising that things evolve to a "best fit". Airplanes and cars are a good example. Is the reason they all look similar due to a lack of imagination, or is it due to them all converging on a form that provides the

I got rid of cash app after there was a fraudulent $20 charge against my account and their customer service did absolutely nothing about it.

Yeah I am tired of hearing about it. Can’t wait for the hype cycle to die down.

Have you tried to play CS:GO on a Mac? I can tell you that it does not at all feel the same as a PC.

This is exciting. Guess I need to build another windows PC.

Nothing is going to change in this country until people start questioning how we have seemingly limitless money for foreign aid, wars, bank bailouts, etc. but we can’t seem to get shit done for working class people. It’s not a left vs righ

As an individual it is generally advised and expected to have 3-6 months of living expenses saved up in a secure location. Yey these VC backed startups can’t even cover a single missed payroll with emergency funds of any kind. It really doe

This is just brazen. These people play all kinds of financial games, run business right at the margin of what is legal, decry regulation or legislation that “hurts their competitiveness” (abusing 1099 employees anybody?) and then cry out im

100% agree. These titans of industry can surely help themselves.

Sad to see this. I just cancelled my plan. To stay on an unlimited plan is over a 100% increase in price and that's just unacceptable to me.

Depending on the environment zip ties, wire ties, etc. may not be appropriate. For example, high heat and UV exposure can cause zip ties to fail rather quickly.
