You should definitely give the M1 MBA a try and return it if it doesn’t work well. Mine is only 8Gb RAM too, but I haven’t noticed paging slowdowns or any problems.

I think if a company is going to be fully remote, they should provide an office budget to every employee, so you can either rent an extra bedroom / buy a bigger house / or rent space in a co-working facility. Working from your bed

Some people prefer working in an office because it helps them stay disciplined and keep a better work/life balance. Perhaps I’m just speaking for myself here, but I tend to get lazy and feel like my life has much less structure as a fu

I don’t self-harm, but I agree WFH has been damaging for some of us. Honestly, going to an office everyday just helps me keep a schedule better and makes me more disciplined. It’s very hard for me to be productive when I can get into the ha

Yeah, but he’s completely skipping over the fact that you’re going to lose some of the readability of short SQL statements switching to an ORM with methods, types/classes, functions, etc., but you can gain in maintainability of code.

Yep, uploads to a service like Backblaze are the only way I have saturated 1G lines.

Yeah, it blew my mind that having a pool was so important to someone in a cold place like Canada. We have a pool in Texas and while it was installed with propane heating 30 years ago, the heating has really never been used as it’s not effic

I've quit nicotine more than once, but last time I quit with patches too. I switched from cigarettes to e-cig in 2018 and by late 2020 I was consuming way more nicotine than I did before - a JUUL pod or more per day. I never smoked ind

Despite recent events, I don’t see this happening. Signal has a strong reputation as a privacy-supporting app without any weird fringe Internet subculture attached to it. And I’m unaware of any public groups like you find on Facebook or Wha

Couldn’t you just as accurately say they organized peacefully at the Capitol and THEN made it non-peaceful by doing those things?

Never say never, I'm sure it won't be long before 4k's as commonplace as 1080p (with heavy compression).

My last boss had a problem with this. Guy literally told me to just accept any change suggested to ease the review process and it's not worth debating any comments. We had very different opinions. He always claimed he was "not nit

Like any situation, there are outliers and unique situations. Is your memory only affected for things you learned before the accident or does it affect new things you learn too?

I'm not sure what point the first paragraph in your response is trying to make, but all I was trying to say is it's OK to not remember details like this. Especially when it's someone else's kids, someone else's birt

by vonseel 6y ago
I'm the exact same way. And that should be fine. I don't have kids but I have three brothers who all have kids. I know their first names, and most of their middle names. I don't know all their birthdays. That's fine. I r

What? I'm not sure how that has anything to do with remembering a friend's kids names or remembering people's birthdays. I drive with nav on if I'm going somewhere unfamiliar, but only bc I live in a kind of large city a

by vonseel 6y ago
Maybe, I just feel like it shouldn't matter for anyone if you remember their kids names, unless it's your brothers or sisters kids or your own kids. Not remembering a cousins kids names in my family would be a minor faux pas, but

The social engineering and woke culture stuff seems like a moot point honestly. If the large language model analyzes everything, it will veer towards normal. It doesn’t seem so far fetched to think they can build something which also tracks

by vonseel 6y ago
You won't forget the names when it matters. If you can't remember these basic details, it's a sign that person is not close enough to you for it to actually matter. Or, maybe you're like me and you just met the person fi

Which, I suppose, is why they have rebranded to “Mood Media”, and no longer use the word Muzak. As you might have seen if you read the article.

I don't think any business should be forced to put a BLM flag in their window just because all their neighbors are doing it. BLM is a cause. It's OK to care about other causes too. Is it racist of my company to buck the norm and p

Starting to wonder why I've seen at least 3, maybe 4, unrelated things about Dolly Parton today. Including covers on Youtube and an article about her investment in coronavirus research.

That's a great question. I've got a hackmac with an i9-9900k that needs some optimizing. It was hitting 100C frequently until I changed some overclock settings, that's been remediated but I still haven't had a chance to

Yea, unless you're professional writers, and I don't mean coders, that's not the right kind of things to focus on in pull requests. I mean, if someone happens to be great at code but really terrible at English, like you can&#

I don't know much about this stuff but if all this is true then I don't see what's holding AMD / Intel back. Can't they just reverse-engineer whatever magic Apple comes up with, and that will lead to similar leaps i

Makes perfect sense to me, even as a mostly-Python developer with very limited experience in .NET/C# or other ecosystems.

At least you didn't have to call them and wait on hold, like many services were until recently (maybe still are). When I realized I paid for SiriusXM on a car that I had totaled 18 months prior, boy, that was a hell of a phone call. In

Toothbrushes should have tiny removable heads, containing essentially only the bristles, which slide in and you replace when you need a new one. Definitely for the Sonicare type. Maybe even for all toothbrushes. This approach would reduce t

I get you. And plenty of Republicans support the military but did not support Bush's invasion of Iraq / false hunt for WMDs and agree on limiting the size of our military. This book had some great comments on military size and con
