My JBC has a lesser temp (like 150C) that it holds for a little while when returned to the stand. This is supposed to extend tip life. The heating element is in the tip, so the tips are spendy.

A JBC iron is spendy but great. The heating element is in the tip, similar to what you described though I don't know if it uses RF. Soldering with it is super easy, requires very little skill, mostly just remembering to use flux. Howev

Sorry I'm late, didn't have hnreplies set up. Sure! For the past 10 years I've been making a 2D skeletal animation tool. It's a desktop app built with Java, so I get all the nice Java tooling, hotswap, etc. There's

I've stopped caring about what is current. I have carved out my own little world. It's beautiful, wonderful to work in, I'm extremely productive, and it makes enough I'll never need to work for others. I am happy to beco

In my experience commit rights also decrease the quality of the code. Nearly everyone sucks. I've had to rewrite FOSS to get rid of the ugly. Ideally I could have kept a better eye on the commits but time doesn't always allow.

It doesn't have the brakes for it's speed to be safe. I had a Model X and the fit and finish was poor. That, their yoke gimmick, and Elon's nonsense means I won't but another Tesla.

I switched to Bing recently. It looks exactly like Google with a few extra features and is slightly better at providing relevant results. What Google does is no longer good or unique. As for non-search, Google has killed so many products I

Street Fighter IV does that, only advances when both clients have advanced. There's never bullshit surprises. It does suck on a bad connection, but that's just how it has to work. Street Fighter V has rollbacks and it's absol
