this is a very SWEng thing to say but I use plain colored t-shirts as a basic item unless there's a reason to dress up. during the fall/winter you can stack a columbia fleece vest on top (which does a great job keeping your body

and they throw away a ton of donations too. they have to, people use goodwill as the substitute for a dumpster, nobody wants your grease-stained metallica shirt with a couple 2" holes in it or the 200th set of hummels either.

the funny thing is people (including on HN) have spent years arguing that the human body is a blast calorimeter and that everyone absorbs the same amount of energy from the same amount of food and therefore CICO is the only thing that m

I mean, you are fundamentally describing a chipset/southbridge. It is a common approach and it has tradeoffs (much lower efficiency than monolithic SOCs and additional data movement power). It is an “interesting” choice for an SBC (pro

The point of the pi was for teaching computer science in educational settings. Of course it largely failed at that (imagine running a lab full of raspberry pi 1 model b with the original full-size sd card and phone usb chargers) but everyth

Note that this trend isn’t always downwards - upgrading from rdna2 to 3 or from intel CPUs to AMD CPUs could result in increased idle power, sometimes significantly so. Things like higher PCIe lane configurations, higher generation/tr

Long-haul trucking is potentially easier but we already have a great system for delivering large amounts of cargo along fixed, guided pathways. The only problems that making it run on roads instead of rails solves is political - the US is a

Low-tech or traditional methods don’t mean they’re inherently better for the climate or environment though. The Victorian era coal smog was very low-tech and yet we can probably agree that it would be a bad idea to return to that. like if t

If USB-C has taught me anything it’s that higher signal integrity in more expensive cables is actually really a thing. I have usb-c devices which are so temperamental (razer kiyo pro) that they won’t run stable without actual thunderbolt ca

Yeah. And again, in fairness, I suppose it's counterintuitive how much energy is stored by a gallon of fuel, unless you have already been surprised by it in the past :) But even comparing to batteries, you have to stationary-bicycle

I think it strongly depends on whether 24gbit GDDR7 is ready to go by that point or not. If so, they'll do 36GB.
