I didn't go as far as deleting my account, but just deleting Instagram/YT apps from my phone pretty much got my reel/shorts scrolling to 0/day (I already had notifications off for years). And by just deleting apps on my

I used Linux desktop 2007-2018 as my primary OS. It improved a lot in terms of hardware support and ease of use. I was very satisfied as it being my daily driver and miss it. The problem I face now is app ecosystem. I have developed hobbies

Is the primary use case for *090 series gaming anymore? 5070 which is probably what most popular gaming card is 250W. If I recall correctly it can push 4k @ 60fps for most games. But yes, I do agree that TDPs for GPUs are getting ridiculous

They are talking about images running Android. This post is about Waydroid, so you can still just use regular Linux image and install waydroid on that.

I was able to run this a while ago on virtualized linux machine using UTM. I forgot whether I used ARM or x86 on Rosetta image, but UTM gallery has easy to use images for both. https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/

Depends on case to case basis. I wouldn't generalize it to every case. As a daily C++ engineer, I think overall many features added over the years have mostly been positive. There are features that I don't use and I don't thi

There is good likelihood that given recent layoffs, pool of available American workers is likely higher. H1B reforms are definitely necessary. >> H1B holders are not allowed to switch jobs. The process requires a lawyer, ~$6k, months,

The blame here mostly goes to schools and system. If you are rich kid, you're still a kid and you see the world they way you were taught to see the world. In some ways it applies to rest of the community as well not just rich people. F

I could also imagine that there is lot of gaslighting involved to feel good about themselves when making these features. For example, they will talk about in terms of prioritizing Ubers for customers because they need it more urgently hence

"Programmers can't be trusted with..." isn't the best argument here IMO. You already gave one reason why. Programmers will create a mess regardless IMO, despite how nice the language is. Adding to that (1) among all he t

Useless is bit extreme criticism. I'm not an athlete or super intense, but somewhat more active than average (regular strength training, hiking 10-20 miles 3000-6000ft gain, bike ride 25-35 miles). It works just fine, its precise enoug

Couldn't agree more. Always felt community had trust in the team. Its not the fanciest language, but whatever they push for usually works. In contrast, recently I've had to deal with Swift, and they are often pushing like 10 featu

The way things are going, OpenAI can experiment on puppies and that'll still not affect their ability to raise money. They are clearly leading the space right now and making lucrative deals with most valuable companies out there.

Solid is pushing it. Its ok. Its still miles behind Go, Rust, C++. Partly because swift-lsp-server itself is lacking in functionality.

They and the startup seemed to give classic cringe wannabe Steve Jobs vibe. Its not very uncommon to find such people at Apple. They often miss the most the important thing that Jobs was good at, i.e. making things that are actually useful

Correct me if I'm wrong, but listing in apartments.com is not really the best dataset to look at, as its usually slightly nicer listings there. Have to combine with Craigslist at the very least where a lot of people look for cheaper pl

It packs lot of power, likely enough to replace MacBook, except you can't really do anything other than what Apple thinks you should do with the device. It's far more constrained system than MacBook. iPad is more or less same, exc

I was thinking if eye tracking can cause more eye strain over long time, cause you'd have to focus your eyes more on something, than say casually moving pointer with a mouse or controller.

"No regret" -- its easier said than done. Dying is one thing, but accumulating 10 different health conditions for life is not going to be pleasant, and will potentially give lot of time to start regretting. People are free to do w

It's more of an outlier than a norm IMO. It is wrong to say everyone has particular preference about height, but for majority there is IMO, even though it's not what we want to see/hear. I was significantly more successful in
