HN moment. Software jobs, especially at the kinds of FAANG companies largely being discussed here, are quite a stretch for the term "wageslave." Entrepreneurship isn't for everyone, even those who've tried it before.

Or homeownership is being consolidated away from the average person, thus not being included in debt.

Nope, I'm in Texas and not Arizona. We've already got two wafer plants here. The largest projects are expansions on those, so these companies are pretty familiar with the available workforce at this point.

Texas is quite large and only a small part of it, relatively, is desert.

Heh. We must live close to each other. I made the same comment with fewer (read: no) sources. Definitely a lot of heavy construction.

I live in a relatively small city that has a 30B phased wafer fab project under way, and an another separate 5B wafer fab project underway, and plans for at least one more in the next couple years. Anecdotal, of course, but there's som

I got a 2TB 980 pro with heat sink from Bestbuy last week for $99. I was astounded. No brainer upgrade for the PS5

For the folks for whom this is true (and I totally get it. This was me not even that long ago, so no judgments), a $6000 down payment / start fee / whatever is nearly unattainable.

Wow. To get the advertised lowest monthly fee for a model Y (Still $690/month!) you have to pay a $500 security deposit and a whopping $7900 “start fee” While the deposit is refundable, the start fee doesn’t appear to be. So in 1yr, yo

I can’t believe this usage of “meal” never occurred to me. That’s an amazing bit of trivia.

The Dell U4021QW is probably the best monitor I've ever used. I, too, got sad with 1440 vertical pixels on previous ultrawides, so I was pretty excited when they announced this one. 5120 x 2160 is really a dream. It's limited to 6

Hey there. I'm responsible for support here at Timescale. akulkarni asked me to take a look at this. To be fair, I don't have a good answer on why the input box does require the resource group name to be lowercase, but I ran throu

Unfortunately, the list doesn't seem to be compatible with piHole (at least >5.0), and in searching around there's some beef between pi-hole folks and the oisd maintainer. I won't perpetuate it by posting links, but it&#x2

So then a motorcycle could legally go 200mph? And loaded tractor/trailers could go 20MPH? NB: I didn't do the math, so this is probably mildly hyperbolic, but I think it illustrates the point.

I have had these jump outside of my house. I realize how crazy it sounds, but I had a pair (they were not encrypted - this was long ago, and I don't even know if encrypted ones existed) and my neighbor had a pair. I would, very occasio

I don't know why this was downvoted. You see what you see. Maybe my experience with electron is tainted :D I don't have any measurements, and I'm not really going to take any. It's just always felt slow. So I'll adm

Strange. With the exception of electron apps (which are slow everywhere), I've found my M1 mini to be extremely responsive. Much moreso than my 16" mpb.

There are still lots of good support organizations out there, and not every place looks at support as a burden. It's a pretty critical piece in the "new" 'as a service' world, helping folks use complex systems that

Readdle's Spark mail client for iOS/MacOS has many of these features. Doesn't help for your samsung, but in case any other iOS folks are scrolling by. :)

I sat as a juror in a murder trial several years ago. My peers accepted nearly every piece of prosecutorial testimony without question, not just cops. It was really eye-opening. Because even if that hadn't happened, the whole concept o
