My Inspiron made it 7 years before a chip in the battery that identifies the battery as dell authentic died. The battery itself was still 95% good (I mostly used it plugged in, and set the bios so) Still, a laptop without a battery lost man

Lands with soil that support it are greening. Desertification is a continuing issue and typically do not green without human assistance.

What? This is odd given that in a lot of places, a home owner can run their whole electrical, and the inspection is just a dude plugging shit in to the receptacles. Also, are most modern water heaters not just a standard plug in? Even my di

Bags mysteriously disappearing is common enough that you probably know someone who’s been impacted by it. It’s true: never attribute to malice that which can be sufficiently explained by incompetence. Except that we have proof of malice in

Absolutely. I mean, some countries are worse than others. I have yet to come home from Mexico without my locks being cut off and bag pillaged, but other international flights have been fine. Other who place GPS trackers on their luggage hav

Yes. It’s my gaming machine log on. It’s just easier to know this password than to always have to find it. I do not trust corporations, so I generally do not do things like biometrics and stuff. I don’t completely understand how pins are mo

Well. That is an annoying password to have to change. Most of the I don’t care much because I just generate a new one and away I go. The Microsoft password is one I couldn’t just copy paste from a password manager and now I have to change a

I just gave nix a go and so far it seems great. But do you know, if they’re a nicer options finder? The one I found where you just search all several thousand options kinda sucks. I want to just see my package (say, ssh) and just the ssh op

Dude on HN was describing the other day how they’re moving to use an AI to generate a list of cars with specific features in their inventory and how this was a great part of the AI future. But as we see frequently even on the most sophistic

Slices in zig are a fat pointer with a runtime known length, which have bounds checking at runtime and will panic if you access out of bounds. Unless you build in releasefast, which disables that check. There is releasesafe for a release bu

You’re not supposed to drink water or use mouth wash for a while after using fluoride toothpaste either.

This doesn’t seem like a thing any business should need AI for. Filtering a known list for a report takes a few seconds at most, and is much more reliable than LLMs.

The claim that “1000x is extraordinary” is demonstrably wrong. You can browse virtually any modern website today and see time to full load of 15+ seconds, followed by time to link load of 7+ seconds. Back in the days of single core pentiums

And that’s why I also discussed the several web api benchmarks where you’ll see 10,000x differences from bottom ranking to top. But you didn’t like that, so felt compelled to ignore it. 1,000x is literally nothing when discussing modern dev

Python vs C/C++/Rust/Zig has even more startling performance differences. If you’re looking for benchmarks of the same classes of software, among techempower benchmarks, the fastest on the charts are often well over 1000x fas

This is just a claim that everyone who advocates for ORMs makes, but it’s not reality.

Rust is basically entirely code gen. It’s no surprise that compiling is slow and speeding up compiling is a troublesome endeavour. Rust itself might as well be considered a highly constrained macro language at this point.

The “whataboutism” that’s a standard “defence”, because you believe that people who support clinton must also believe she is above the law, as you believe a different certain candidate is above the law. Nobody believes that. Charges were no

>what more is there to say? That it’s not better. Immutability is a tool, not a rule. Deploying immutability unanimously without regard for anything is a great way to create a terrible application.
