I just checked my purchase history and I'm a month short of it being ten years ago. Not bad for a printer. Brother HL-3140CW. Color laser printer. If you'd have told me it'd still be working ten years later, I wouldn't h

The on-prem VMWare enthusiasts who've been warning for decades about vendor lock-in on the cloud are perhaps about to gain some new perspective.

In case you haven't played it: they actually improved on this in the remake. You can swap fighters during the battle like Pokemon, so you can make use of all five characters (which helps a lot on some of the post-game fights).

I did have to have the 12v battery replaced on my 2018 Model 3, but I think they've now transitioned to Lithium-ion 12v batteries on the newer cars, so I'm not sure if that'll be an expected maintenance item much longer.

I'm not sure why we need government incentives. If they were profitable on their own, the problem would solve itself. If they aren't profitable on their own, then we'll undoubtedly end up with poorly maintained chargers and t

This. Though also worth noting: these agents are often working with the same small pool of other agents throughout their career. Their relationship with them is often more valuable than with any individual client, so it doesn't really

What vendor lock-in? They built their stack from the beginning to allow for hosting on bare metal, and then they made that transition.

There's certainly no shortage of sysadmins comfortable with their on-prem skillsets that have their heads in the sand about the cloud. And there are plenty of us who've spent time managing hardware and physical networks, transitio

It's also a rocket launch , which is commonly accompanied by a countdown . It was also pretty common to have that countdown broadcast over the radio, as many people would show up just to watch the rocket launch. Even without a radio

Especially tedious on Amazon when you have a seller list the same cable in various lengths. The reviews are all commingled, so you'll get plenty of valid five star reviews for the short cables while the long ones don't support the

Putting aside the fairly explicit lines in the poem: it's the context. It is not the case that the western world currently has no immigration and the poem makes the case to allow at least some. More immigrants than ever are pouring ove

One can be supportive of mutual aid and international, cross-cultural cooperation while also acknowledging that a nation doesn't exist without borders, sovereignty matters, and that unchecked migration is not universally good. When you

If you think both directions are comparable to actual perspectives people have, then it's already clear which perspective is yours.

This used to hit us sporadically at my university's help desk. It'd also happen if you have one MacBook open on top of a closed one. The magnet could easily line up and it'd shut the screen off.

I'd be thrilled if I could just remember the names of the knots that suit various common use cases. Then I'd at least be able to google them to find out how to tie them. Now I'll find myself in a position where I know there&#

You can just say, "I've been advised that it's in my interests to not share a number." And it's true. You have been advised that way by threads and comments like these. If you get any pushback, it'll be that th

There's definitely a strategy to it. You want to avoid generally appealing things (like TVs and common electronics) for the reason you described, but the opposite end of the spectrum (niche ones) are often great. We got two of the high

Not virtually every commenter on every Uber-related thread on HN for the past few years? It was kind of repeated ad-nauseum that VC cash was just being burned to prop up this infeasible business model.

I get it, too. I've seen some people that resort to ad hominems online. We are allowed to evaluate suggestions critically. The other places in the UI are either based on either the destination you've entered or the last 5, 15, or

It's not erring on the side of the absolute best state. The EPA-rated miles represent a standardized mix of highway and city miles. The best state would be over 600 miles [1]. It's erring on the side of consistency, as it's a

I think you need to give consumers some vague idea of how much range you'll get in the car, and EPA-rated miles is at least a clear standard by which all EVs can be compared. A percentage indicator is fine for a car you already have, b

The only way to show the most accurate estimate is to know where the driver is going, and many drivers don't always input their destination. It can also vary dramatically based on how you drive, and in fact, if you do have a destinatio

We ran into this, though we were using millisecond timestamps with the Number type. Ended up working around it by adding numbers after the decimal point. DynamoDB apparently supports up to 38 digits of precision, and JavaScript (we're
