I'm 30 now, there's nothing I wanted more than the iPod Touch but I think I made the sales pitch to my parents too hard because I was very excited it had a web browser. I grew up without even basic cable but I did eventually get a

American Idiot also had it's 20th anniversary, I ordered the CD/bluray box set that comes out later this month.

I've been buying CDs as well as burning FLAC albums I have on blanks for basically this same reason, the limited choices and slightly higher switching costs is more enjoyable to me. And CDs still cost about as much as they ever did, wh

Privacy is one nice benefit of the US Passport card, it doesn't have your address. Another big one is you can self-ID your gender so you can have a correct ID if your state makes it difficult or impossible to get a corrected driver&#x2

The last I read there were still ongoing issues with 911 calls with Pixels, it didn't seem limited to any particular phone model or OS version.

I see much more right wing content boosted by the algorithm now, and the paid checkmarks ensures every tweet's replies have low quality and bot replies filtered to the top. The bot problem is also infinitely worse now, I rarely post an

Their job is to surface useful search results at the top, and inaccurate or untrustworthy sources at the bottom. They used to be quite good at doing that.

And we have a natural experiment proving this effect, cargo ships' sulfur pollution had unknowingly been masking some percentage of climate change by reflecting sunlight, so reducing that pollution has had the side effect of exacerbati

There was leaded gasoline which even at the time it was introduced was known to cause brain damage.

I'm not a climber but I love the Omega Pacific D non-locking carabiner, it's size and shape makes it fit through molle webbing on Goruck backpacks nicely so it sits flush and is a convenient place to attach random things as needed

I love the Talos Principle 1 and 2, if you liked Portal you will probably like them, they rely less on platforming and more on puzzles that require you to use the puzzle elements in creative ways. The puzzle elements are easy to understand,

If you say the optimal amount of is zero, it means you pretty much can't eat any fermented food like kimchi, kombucha, etc. Obviously there's a huge difference between that and an alcoholic beverage, I would agree the optimal amou

It seems like it's a similar thing to sugar. The optimal amount of alcohol or sugar is not absolutely zero, a lot of foods we eat that are healthy have them, just at much lower concentrations and lower amounts. A glass of orange juice

A menu bar manager only becomes necessary when you have a bunch of extra things installed on your system that each have a menu bar item.

Obesity is seen as a personal moral failing, and sinners cannot be redeemed without repentance and self-flagellation.

That's not an accident, Rob Pike famously hates syntax highlighting, he's derided it as "childish" on multiple occasions.

It seems to just be a leak of their sandboxed headless browser setup and the API code for controlling it. Obviously such a thing will run arbitrary JS from the web so inevitably there will be something like a browser sandbox exploit, and su

I can't find any purported auomation scripts for those services as claimed in the Github page. There is a reference to "cm-spotify-client" which seems to be some sort of custom integration code they've written, but other

Rust's error handling is in my opinion perfect. An operation that can fail will return a Result<T, E> type, it will either be Ok(T), or Err(E). You can pattern match a Result, and decide what to do with it. Or, more likely, you j

If you can't introspect the release version of your software, you have no way of determining what the issue is. You're doing psuedo-science and guesswork to try and replicate the issue on a development version of the software. And

The issue is we can't see what running software is doing, because frame pointers are omitted, symbols are stripped, etc. in the name of performance, so we can't see what the software is even doing without changing it. And in many

We have an embarrassment of riches in terms of compute power, slowing down everything by a negligible amount is worth it if it makes profiling and observability even 20% easier. In almost all cases you cannot just walk up to a production Li

Yep, many psychoactive alkaloid compounds are made by plants to deter insects and herbivores, for example caffeine, nicotine, and cocaine.

The tucked aero position is only allowed in time trials since it's unsafe when riding in a pack, so UCI compliant time trials bikes look pretty similar to triathlon bikes, just with the traditional double diamond frame design.

The heat is really not that bad. I absolutely hate the heat, living in the midwest the summers are unbearable to me. Yes, it's hot, but you can still walk outside without becoming a sweaty mess because it's so dry. And you're

I would recommend trying SmartOS or OmniOS instead, since the Oxide rack isn't filled with IBM compatible personal computers on sleds, and they have no BIOS or UEFI.

by rhinoceraptor 3y ago
The compute you'd provision on the Oxide rack are virtual machines, they've ported bhyve from FreeBSD and added live migration. I'm pretty sure you could even boot Windows Server on it if you were being held hostage. As for w

It doesn't cover that many months of expensive GPU compute and Chrome VMs, though. The "No Subscription" promise is very dubious unless this is a play for selling user data.

The hardware device itself is a bit of a red herring. It's really a server-side LLM that is trained to use software on your behalf, presumably against server-side Android/Chrome VMs that you authenticate to various apps/servi
