My total loan amount was ~30k for most my loans over 5 years. The initial loans were at 3.25% and whatever the perkins loan rate was, the later loans were at 6.8%, which was super ridiculous and I don’t think they stopped that rate until la

I am, I have some at 0.65% I got a discount after 48 months of payments, a discount for autopay, and some of the loans are from 2003-2005

I don’t think spring mattresses aren’t as overpriced as you might expect. You can look at the pure cost of springs, foam, fabric/covering, etc... It turns out that buying these things individually, for a minimal queen size mattress mad

The fibrox is fine , but a single 8" Shun chef's knife is near the price of an MBK-85 for a not-dissimilar level of performance. I have a Fibrox santoku, Shun 7" Chef's knife (VG-10), Ohishi 270mm (VG-5), and some of th

I have one of these at home and U2718q at work. At work, I use the Macbook USB-C multiport adapter (new one - you have to double check if you have an old one) and at home I got a uni USB-C-> HDMI 2.0 adapter ($18 on amazon) Both systems

My only gripe is that my login/wake up are slow for some reason (Macbook 16), but I can't pinpoint it or rule out IT shenanigans. I appreciate the security, I'm happy that many of the apps don't get to shit all over my D

You don’t typically include the entire toolchain in a container with docker because of the size. You also want to construct things a bit carefully so you get proper build caching, but it’s doable. Here is an example of this pattern with Go:

A little disingenuous to compare without docker multi-stage.

Kids love iPads/tablets - more than just for education. They love fortnite on them, they love youtube on them. A 3 year old can use an iPad. Sure - they can use phones too, but tablets will be the first computer for kids for a long tim

I would expect rating should be an exponentially weighted moving average, first and foremost, with ratings also weighted by some form of user reputation. The user reputation is the hard part (at least for Amazon I guess)

correct - I didn't think I meant Starlink would kill astronomy (I thought I was addressing some of the hyperbole rather than extending it) - but probably even at the level to be deployed in the near future we would see severely degrade

No, it’s not. This hurts survey telescopes and it’s an orders of magnitude issue. A rule of astronomy is that if you can see it with your eyes near a city than it’s really really fucking bright, if you can see it with your eyes in the wilde

You might try out Mono, Boris, Pelican, Mastodon, Drive Like Jehu, Hot Snakes. Maybe Pissed Jeans and Envy, but that might be a bit too punk rock.

Well, all of those accounts might be flagged for further investigation. Of the premise is they are not legitimate, then Iran just burned a large quantity of propaganda assets. Some amount is legitimate and some amount is propaganda, it’s j

Arguably governments are not being good citizens to tax payers by not having laws to prevent such arrangements.

Not really in the western neighborhoods except in a few select spots. You can live in those neighborhoods without seeing it except when you go to the grocery store, parts of Golden Gate park, or the beach

I’ve been paranoid about how bad places in SF can be, and have had some issues with mold occasionally. I have a rent controlled apartment I’ve been in for 8 years, but I’ve done the maintenance myself to improve the place and keep health i

Oh man, I totally missed this, I don’t remember seeing anything on the Stanford report either. I audited CS245 and my coworkers did as well, among other things I showed up to. Hector was a wonderful person and a great teacher.

The attempt to cleanly separate out workflow is nice in theory but an extremely leaky abstraction when it comes to real world operations for DAGs larger than 10s of nodes. You will end up with lots of code that will duplicate functionality

Code reviews help gate this behavior, a bit. If a coworker does this and drops a 40k line PR, they get code review duty for everybody else for a little while _before_ their code can get merged. Letting them go unfettered definitely is a mis

It’s best to buy a cheap cast pan, fill it with chain or bolts, and through it on that. If you want to get fancy you can get a metal colander and fill it with ice and put it above that.

This isn’t so different than once in Chile, except that comes later. Typically once is marraqueta or hallulla and tomatoes, avocado (palta), or chicken and mayonnaise. It is almost always with tea (it is a form of high tea) and served after

A real reason for papers such as this, even with seemingly bombastic claims as "supremacy" with modest improvements, is to prove real progress at a time where QIS funding is sharply ramping up by DOE/DOD/(NSA/CIA) w
