"Woodruff sas renewed on a $100,000 personal bond" - does this mean that she was able to front that money? I understand this as: if she were poor, she'd still be imprisoned.

Corollary: I have an x220 and a T420. Very similar laptops. The x220 is fairly snappy running Win10; the T420 is laggy and freezy running Kubuntu. Confounding factors: - T420 has 12GB; x220 has 16GB - T420 is modded with 2560x1440 screen -

That's wildly incorrect. How do you make such a silly claim? Is this satire? Bad public transport may drive up car usage in general, but not specifically large cars. City density is much higher in cities outside the US but they don&#x2

It's mad that the US forgot about those. I drive an estate with a sportspack - it's no sports car, but it handles nicely; it has low drag, so it sips fuel on the motorway; and it carries more than a 4x4 because the load space is a

I've been circling around lisp for a couple of years. I'm starting in a month, I'll spend several hours a day. I still don't know what language I want to learn. I was drawn to Clojure because it looked like a lisp for ge

You have my sympathies. I admire your phlegm. A friend of mine had a malevolent thyroid, which flattened her body but left her wit standing.

When I got my Oculus, it was half the price of the Vive. I always assumed that zuck is eating a loss to capture eyeballs.

I can't speak for your customer base but, personally, I despise being called. 95% of calls from businesses are announcements rather than conversations. There is zero need to interrupt me in real-time to tell me my car is ready; it is n

At a guess (I know nothing about the field): - because the fuselage itself isn't important for testing - older chunkier design is more amenable to bolting radical new bits on - 737s still have market value

Or the inept might trade their IDs for instant cash, as is actually happening (reportedly). Since Worldcoin is bribing 3rd-world grannies to sign up. I know that HN is crawling with individual-responsibility people. To those people I say: d

An individualist perspective. I believe that humans are social animals, and that a view on enshittification that ignores society is useless. Media is, IMO, holistically worse now than in the mid-90s. An individual cannot undo that. The nega

The tool looks great; I have a hurdle to overcome with the name. I'm long accustomed to spelling it, in English, as Jujitsu. I've also seen Jiu-jitsu. "jutsu" is much less common, IME. Is there such thing as canonical Ro

I am too; it's hard, now, to imagine anything dethroning git, but presumably something will do so one day, and this could be that thing. SQLite uses a custom vcs called Fossil, but doesn't make much effort to push broader adoption

It may be a calculated move. But, more charitably, perhaps it is simply unpolished communication.

Right, these cars are distinctive and conspicuous, but they don't have "Porsche" in repeating motifs all over the bodywork. It's the humungous branding that makes the LV and Gucci goods tacky.

The stated promise of self-drive is reduction in accidents. The accident victim didn't sign up for this, but as a member of society she did stand to gain something; to wit, harm reduction. I do see the grim irony, but, nonetheless. Gen

A "hot take" is an initial reaction, without benefit of much data or consideration. Like when someone shouts to you after they've already thrown, and you must turn and catch in a fraction of a second. Or take a ball to the ja
