I'd like to congratulate the GIMP team on the upcoming major release. Lots of volunteer work goes into open source projects, and it's remarkable for a codebase to keep evolving over the course of nearly 30 years. To everyone compl

I'd argue the biggest impediment to good cycling infrastructure is the low utilization of the existing cycling infrastructure. I had a friend who insisted that most people want to cycle to work, but they are lacking the infrastructure.

To be fair, Aldi products in the US vary by state. There likely is less variance than in Europe. I think in the US the local differences are largely based on what foods they are able to get locally for an attractive price.

I agree with you that the little innocuous things often need a longer explanation, but the linked commit message is way too long IMO. It either wastes the readers' time, or it causes the readers' eyes to gloss over at the wall of

I do not know why you are being downvoted. I agree that level 2 autonomy is not cutting edge - it is an option level for nearly every car manufacturer.

This is an oddly imprecise position to me. It's unclear whether an 8" snowfall is a natural disaster. In places where this is a regular event, it is not treated as a natural disaster. Some human drivers drive in it just fine, thou

I'll bite: Yes. Manually-closing doors have pinch points, but every major manufacturer that has auto-close doors includes force sensing to avoid damaging things (or people, or digits). Power windows usually have this as well, at least

Not only did the Cray weigh far more than the Apollo computer, and not only did the Cray supercomputer use far more power, but the Apollo computers had to be designed to be highly resistant to interference from radiation. Radiation hardened

If you are buying staple goods, Aldi quality is quite nice. For some luxuries (fancy cheese, chocolates) their quality is very good, especially for a discounter. If you only want to buy processed food and meal kits that require minimal cook

It is not just bad weather. Here in the midwest it's common for the road lines to be worn and barely visible. There are many more potholes and other problems with the pavement. My 2023 car with cameras and radar usually cannot activat

It depends. If I'm an IT manager at Pixar and this is going in the workstation of my best and most productive animator, the price might not matter. If reducing the time s/he spends waiting on the computer means I can produce movie

That's just the $250 deposit. Car dealers also require deposits when ordering a car, and it is common to put that on a credit card. I would be surprised if Tesla allows placing the entire order by credit card.

On the contrary, I'm impressed by how much Tesla has improved. They used to be second last, and the effort they've put into improving quality - especially on the Model 3 - is clearly paying off.

The briefcase was mostly for storing files that would be synced between devices. The general idea was to allow loading contacts and documents onto your PDA, editing stuff on the go, and syncing it back. Sync primarily happened via either a

Most likely, yes. But without Itanium, the competing architectures would have had several more years of development before x86-64 was released. While the end result would probably be similar, it is interesting to think about what improvemen

Thank you for the anecdote. I'd heard horror stories of dropping a stack of cards and having to reorder them, so it's really cool to hear a story describing another way that can happen.

This is a short-sighted view in my opinion. Similar views often lead to reimplementing old bugs, rediscovering hidden requirements, and ultimately re-implementing most of the things that made the old system complicated. We've seen this

Since you single out Google Meet, have you tried updating Firefox? There was a recent bugfix -- I think on the Google side -- that improved performance and unlocked a number of broken features for Firefox users. https://www.howto

It's very location-dependent. In my midwest metro I believe they'd be less than 5% of the market. I'm sure Albertsons and Kroger each have local monopolies in different regions.

Pattern matching is a neat tool to keep in the toolbox. When it's the right tool for the job, it is really cool and is a lot cleaner than a bunch of conditional checks. However, I rarely reach for it. Maybe my use cases are unusual? I

Not necessarily. The unibody "frame" is a much smaller piece than what Tesla has combined into a single component. For example, dropping and replacing a bent subframe (the part that typically holds the front suspension) will cost

Any impact that damages any part of the massive cast unibody. Compared to stamped metal, a cast metal part is brittle under impact and is far more likely to crack rather than deforming. That can be good for safety ratings - in a collision t
