   I wonder if two prime numbers evolved as a way to make this as rare as possible.

   Yup. It's all 100% automatic. Just use a different name for the thread pool and you're done, I believe.

   I’m the principal maintainer at work of a couple hundred bash scripts that use httpie and jq. I don’t have a huge appetite to redo that work… but this certainly seems nicer!

   I think they added US keyboards a couple years ago.

   I’m currently running a T460p and another random Lenovo from like 10 years ago. They both work great. But if I was buying a new one, I’d probably give System76 a try. I know it’s Clevo, but they also appear to have gotten pretty good lately

   Java 21, and I assume like every scripting language (Ruby, Python, etc). Though I guess with scripting you can't use more than one OS thread (not totally sure). Rust started off with it, and C# tried it too, but there are huge downside

   > Golang is an absolutely ideal language for writing REST API microservices Those are strong words for a language with all the flaws I just mentioned. :D Yes, green threads are great for network programming, but it's not the only la

   Go is in this weird middle ground where it's modeled after C, so it's got things like no enums, return codes for errors, mutable everything, nulls, and pointers (that don't support arithmetic, so it's really just this &q

   And none of those brands have factories in NA. Well, Mercedes, but not for export.

    Are they louder than blue switches???

    Exactly. If you have a “dashboard” that you have to use more than a couple times a week, you’re doing it wrong. Well, in my opinion, at least.

    Water gets really complicated, legally, going back to the Romans. Water being on your property doesn’t really mean much. Imagine if you were allowed to buy 100 feet next to a river and damn it, for example.

    A “naive generalization”? Use words because they are the right words, not because they make you sound smart. “Vehemently” disagree with something important. I am not worth a word that strong! I’ve lived around cars every one of my 42 years.

    Friendly reminder that cities aren't loud, cars are loud. Any measure of city loudness is just "which cities have the most traffic".

    This is a real “why didn’t I think of that” moment for sure. So many systems I’ve written have profiled with most of the cpu and allocations in the JSON parser, when all it needs is a few fields. But rewriting it all in SAX is just not wort

    I got three quotes for a new water heater just this week. One was more than twice the other. I'll see where number three comes in. $1900 for a resistive electric water heater seems steep, but at least there's an argument that it&#

    Tradesfolk are _so_ political, it boggles my mind. I own a house, and need to get quotes for HVAC and plumbing stuff occasionally, and holy shit, I do not look forward to those conversations. Just nodding my head for 15 minutes while they l

    If you live in an apartment you shouldn't even need a car. We need to get cars out of cities, and EVs into suburbs and rural areas.

    You have 18-wheelers driving up to your front door right now? And even more surprising is that you want that to continue!

    Maximum hours possible is the maximum allowed driving time.

    I didn’t understand any of that, sorry. Haha A VPN lets me access my stuff from my phone while out of the house, for example.

    I host so many services, but I gave up totally on exposing them to the internet. Modern VPNs are just too good. It lets me sleep at night. Some of my stuff is, for example, photo hosting and backup. Just nope all the way.

    I just sold an old Speed Queen dryer (20 years old!) for like $200, and the guy who bought it told me that he resells them and it's worth way more than that. I get why it will never break down; it's just a metal box with two resis

    Hell, if you're listing off important US map pin-points, you can't beat DC. But people would still rather live in NYC (according to the market). But even if NYC had the most destinations, that's just another way of saying &qu

    I totally disagree. Density and transit are the defining traits of NYC. What's something else NYC offers that you can't find in a similarly sized, but spread out, population? Keeping in mind that the population of NYC is about tha

    True. But I'd say that all that proves is that there's so much demand for not needing to own a personal automobile! And yet, cities aren't like private businesses; they don't do what's in demand. Instead of spending

    That’s been an issue for ever. I can only assume it’s a really hard problem to make the install location configurable. Plus, folks like me who don’t use Mac really don’t care. It’s a perfectly fine place to it. EDIT: LatticeAnimal answered
