   And then what? What's the use case?

   I think the bigger problem is that people stop being able to price anything in a reasonable way. Should companies be valued at 1x revenue? 2x? 10x? 437x? How do you decide if the value of the thing you're using as the denominator chang

   Can any MAME enthusiasts on here recommend the ideal computer configuration to use in a MAME cabinet? I have an old joystick setup I built many years ago, but the cabinet that went with it is long gone. I had some interest in setting it up

   I have my personal email on this. Luckily, we have a small family foundation that is a 501(c)3. So, I've just requested to switch over to the nonprofit plan. I'm not sure if this is applicable to many other people out there, but i

   There’s no question they do something. The question is whether in practical terms they’re worth mandating society-wide. It reminds me of the old 55mph speed limit. Sure, properly enforced it would lower oil usage and save lives. But it wasn

   This is right. Whether masks work or don’t is irrelevant. The policy failed. If an individual wants to not get Covid, the only solutions are vaccination and distancing.

   I believe an issue with that is it can overheat the individual cells and damage them prematurely.

   And, as the article suggests, if there is some new feature that Github can enable (integration of git commits with an issue tracker or CI/CD integration come to mind), that will happen in a vendor-specific way on Github, not in the Git

    I wonder what will happen with the game franchise. For a lot of folks his name is synonymous with NFL gaming.

    I’m getting tired of this Ponzi scheme stuff. Can we have some kind of protests to insist the Fed raise rates and put an end to this? I’m not a big activist by nature, but that’s something I could get behind.

    Unrelated to the actual content, but in Russian is it normal to decline the last name of someone who is not Russian as they did at the beginning of the letter? "Открытое письмо господину Цукербергу"

    I remember that feeling in 2007. Then, in 2009, my house was worth 600k.

    The difference (until recently) here was that investment assets were going up but the cost of living, in general, wasn't. That's a big differentiator between a bubble and inflation. Recently, however, the government started printi

    Wouldn't the battery voltage be the controlling factor here? Probably could go with 2 12v batteries in series? I assume a 20v laptop charger is fine with that.

    For the load expected for pulling data from a simple redis cache, is an M1 actually the most efficient chip? Isn't the point of the M1 that it supports a bunch of complex workflows while remaining efficient? Aren't there even more

    I prefer the idea of gradually eliminating time zones, by people starting to use UTC everywhere. It's as simple as individuals "reprogramming" the way they think about time. And, you can do it yourself and among friends witho

    How did that work? You just had to count and hear 60 instead of 59 ticks between the minutes?

    This reminds me of an issue I had when pushing 64-bit integers from a C# stack down to JS. Lots of weird issues, which I finally tracked down to the fact that JS doesn't have full 64 bit precision for numbers. IIRC it's something

    Wow. My initial thought was just to lie. But given what you said I’m not sure what the right approach would be. What a terrible situation.

    Serious question: How did they even find you? Did they seriously do a dragnet of all birth certificates and send you a letter in Canada or something?

    I think making the tests to get licenses easier was a mistake. One of the things that intrigued me about getting my license back in the day was the Morse code requirement. I enjoyed climbing the ladder, and I was proud when I passed the 20w

    I think I'd rather have a script I could put on a Raspberry Pi that periodically did actions on their site or via APIs to waste their computing power. If a few million people did that, it might make a difference. Sure, they'd try

    I signed up for the waitlist to use this in San Francisco. Anyone here work at Waymo and know when/if I might get approved? I'm curious to try it out.
