The SpaceMouse looks really cool! I might pick one up and see if I can get it working outside CAD software (which are the only demos I could find). Has anyone messed with it and can give me an idea where to get started? Like, what's

A place where you live is not a living expense? That line of thought is how we got here in the first place. Things break in a house all the time, and it costs money to maintain. A house should be treated as a depreciating asset. We'd a

Look at the last word, "linux". In both the "n" and "u", the left stem is thin and crisp, but the right stem is thick and blurry. Maybe it doesn't bother you, but I couldn't put up with that if I were

Sigh. Yep. Don't ever give a company your phone number for 2FA. It's insecure anyways due to SIM swapping. Stick to FIDO (e.g. yubikey) or TOTP (e.g. google authenticator)

It seems like customers who get rejected by ChexSystems would be more likely to overdraft frequently and be profitable to the bank. Why are banks using the system to deny them accounts?

Don't forget C# 1.0 which also shipped without generics. The people designing these langs were not inexperienced, far from it. Yet the mistake keeps being repeated every decade. I feel like the industry would be a lot further along if

There's more than just index funds out there. People park their money in art, stamps, antiques, rare coins, watches, real estate in the tundra. What does a Monet have to do with real-world economics, other than the hope that we all con

Yep. To go further, bitcoin hasn't been the darknet currency for a good 5 years now, these days everyone is using monero. The North Korea is thing is just rumor-mongering, or governments pointing fingers at each other as they always do

So ARM64 has dedicated instructions for CRC32, but implementing it by hand using SIMD is still faster. Score another point for RISC.

I still don't see how it's the consumers' fault. Say there was one single person out there who wasn't an idiot or clueless, and just wanted to watch some TV after work. What should this person have done?

If you zoom in to the first time period I mention (Oct 2018), and inspect visually, it was strictly under $1 for nearly two months. Right after that it was strictly over $1 for nearly two months. That's if you trust that site's da

Tether's claim is that verified users can redeem USDT for USD 1:1 at https://tether.to/ . Exchanges like Kraken are secondary markets and Tether does not claim anything about them.

Peeking at the long term chart[1], I don't think 0.1% is notable. In Oct 2018, it bounced around ~1% under the peg for most of 2 months. Then in Dec 2018, it bounced around 1-2% over the peg for 2 months. A similar swing happened in

LOL you're right! I just pasted the template here, but my defaults are mostly equivalent to plain old `?`. I don't use the match if `?` would work.

I'm overall a rust fan but I've always agreed with you about `if let`. What I don't like is that it reads right-to-left and starts getting awkward if either side is much longer than just a variable name. if let Some(Range
