Seems unlikely. The world has made its peace with NAT, and IPv4 is simpler and therefore easier to understand. IPv6 isn't happening.

I disable that wherever possible since I find it incredibly annoying. I just never have enough windows to want nested window switching.

I'm a first time MacOS user thanks to issued equipment. Three months in and I hate it. Scroll acceleration is definitely in the top five list of reasons why. The goofy keyboard shortcuts, the crummy window switching (switching between

He was just down the hall from me when I was a freshman. I remember trying to play a 3D airship (modeled kind of like galleons?) cannon-fighting game he made for a graphics class. It was outrageously difficult and the AI would just crush an

Given that the same house costs vastly different amounts in different places, it seems reasonable that those places drive the costs to be different. Maybe in rural Nebraska the actual cost of building materials and the technology of constru

I'm going to have to try this on a low-dpi monitor. I just fired it up on my Surface and couldn't really see anything.

I split my blame with roughly 2/3 going to CPUC and the rest going to PG&E.

Housing might be neither. There we have artificially constrained supply, driving up prices and price volatility.

As someone living under PG&E, I'd love improvements to both. In the late summer we often lose power due to under-supply, in fall due to concern for fire, and in winter due to wind. In one recent month I was out of power for eight d

I don't think it's overkill. I have a whole VM that I use for the sole purpose of not installing my label printer software on my host machine.

Firefox mobile on Android 111.1.0 I abandon all sites that override scroll because they're too frustrating to read.

Lots of "it depends". Another computing device? Not going to care. Someone doing research in the National Radio Quiet Zone? Probably more sensitive. Something like this computer unlikely to throw off enough radiated emissions for

Shame; those dollars aren't going to improve my lifestyle the way that faster passenger flight would.

Dunno. I'm one of the people who don't want mosquitos, though I don't care about bugs which don't suck my blood. I have a fan-powered mosquito trap which seems to work well enough. No chemistry.

Yes! I use pi zero and a 3D printed case with the HQ camera and a decent lens. The field of view is exactly right for video calls. https://github.com/showmewebcam/showmewebcam/releases

Have we gotten good enough at jet engines to be able to generate enough thrust in the upper atmosphere to turn planes into ICBMs for an ex-atmospheric inertial jaunt?

The father of a childhood friend of mine was chief counsel during a previous Lexmark supreme court visit (the Static Controls case, I think?). He liked to paint and his basement was full of self-made art, copies of famous works and his own

And Houston has more diversity and better affordability than most other top tier American cities.

They're all huge because getting anything built at all is a Herculean lift, so to make it worth your while it's going to be big and expensive. Blame red tape.

Yet we plumb methane in houses all the time. Also, at least for HVAC, it's perfectly reasonable to keep all of the refrigerant outdoors and use water as a heat transfer medium to the interior.

Several light hydrocarbons seem like perfectly good alternatives. Propane is another one. And there's also quite a lot of use of ammonia for refrigeration as well. It's not clear to me why these simpler, non-chlorinated, non-fluor

Ok, but that's southern California which became vulnerable a while ago. The post I was replying to suggested there were ten thousand in the Bay Area based on the recency of vulnerability.

There are some codes that have a big impact, but I don't think that's one of them. In practice insane permitting and impact fees, high labor costs, and onerous requirements for professional services drive up housing costs. My town

10k sounds high to me. I'm aware of about 400-500 submitted so far in the SFBA (of which I filed 20), and I personally know folks preparing a total of another 700 or so. Did you find a comprehensive tracker with higher numbers? There&#

Why pick only one? We need to reduce barriers to construction, regardless of who is pursuing it.

Prices will come down when we build many millions of new homes. Sadly we are structurally unable to do it and unwilling to fix our regulatory environment to make it possible. Obviously that need is not uniformly distributed across the natio

What was extra-cavalier about it was that I didn't even bother disassembling the computer to get the motherboard out of the case. Did it in-situ at awkward angles with the tower in my lap. I did take out the graphics card to give mysel
