The warranty on ICE powertrains is usually around 5 years or 60k miles, which is much worse.

Nope, it's a great design decision.

That's weird. I've been using an Ubuntu desktop with a GTX 1080 daily for years now, across multiple major OS versions and driver versions, with zero GPU-related issues.

Fully agree. With React, "plain JS" works just like I expect it to. If I have an event handler that does `x = foo` then I don't expect my component to re-render. Why should it? I'm just changing the value of a local vari

I went to Wursthall twice and found it to be mediocre. Backhaus is indeed excellent, and in a completely different league.

Having kids and being a good parent can be really hard. Parents trying to convince others to have kids might be trying to validate their own choices. We do that all the time for trivial choices like iPhone vs Android, so it's expected

The parts used to make your car were likely delivered to the factory by a semi truck, and not by another car. Should you buy a semi truck to go to the mall then, since even the carmaker thinks that cars aren't good enough? Obviously no

If you're building a application on top of PostgreSQL and GraphQL then there's no Rust equivalent to PostGraphile, which is a JS/TS lib. If you're building on top of GCP services, there are official JS/TS libs but n

It's weird for this analysis to focus on the total size of the app. If a Svelte app has 100 components but a page only uses 10, then surely it's possible to only fetch these 10 components and defer the rest, right? This way the si

Sounds awesome. To anyone interested in that approach, the closest open-source stack would be: - PostgreSQL - PostGraphile - Restrict prod to only allow persisted queries - Generate TS types using apollo-cli or graphql-code-genera

Once you start having multiple data sources, business logic implemented in application code might be easier to reuse than business logic implemented in one of the data sources. For example: start with Postgres, then add ClickHouse to the mi

It seems fairly subjective. I'm familiar with Clojure and happily use it at work, but I haven't seen anything in CLJS that comes close to the power of automatically generating types for GraphQL queries, for example. With a single

I agree that you don't need i3 for the common scenario (IDE + terminal in my case). i3 is more about the myriad of uncommon scenarios that come up all the time. For example, maybe I want to keep an eye on several terminal commands at t

I use a Mac laptop for leisure and a Linux desktop for work. I'm very happy with both. Switching their roles would be miserable: Linux laptops can't compete on trackpad and battery life, and Macs can't compete on perf especia

Even without buying, you can spend a higher % of your income on rent and still end up saving more in absolute numbers; and the absolute number is what eventually matters unless you're dead set on picking a place and never moving again.

Yep, with permanent WFH due to the pandemic I started working on a desktop with 5950X + 64 GB memory and it's been a huge upgrade over my work laptop (and probably any laptop available at the moment). It's much quieter under load

If you use an alerting system you should eventually get one at MSRP from e.g. Amazon. Yes, it's a hassle.
