Unfortunately, the state of non-Apple hardware makes your parent’s comment a defensible position. Btw, using Linux in general means having “some unpaid volunteer do it for you”

Where does the assertion that most of this is fraud come from? The City Journal investigation claims IHSS loses roughly $6 - 12 billion a year (out of a nearly $30 billion program). That’s 20 - 40% of dollars not employment. And that data i

Yes! That quote has always stuck with me. It’s haunting. Once you see it it’s impossible to unsee.

What I’m reading into what you are saying: this is the most uncertain time to be alive. And I think that is true. Societal change at this pace is a relatively new thing for humans, and it’s speeding up. Simultaneously, we are losing many an

This is something, but it is not enough. I live in Virginia. Virginia has been increasingly importing more and more electricity from West Virginia (coal) and Pennsylvania (natural gas) to power new data centers. Between 2019 and 2023, impor

I think many people are scared of "being reduced to a number" but I wonder if, psychologically, codes like p7jn8-h would go over better.

It's not terribly fast. It's faster than LEB128 but not as fast as vu128 (at least according to https://github.com/Jiboo/varint_benchmark )

So true. A legislator in Virginia finally pitched ending the tax credit that brought all the data centers to VA in the first place, and I hope it passes (I know it won’t). But seeing the upcoming rate increases already on the books and the

As someone who lives in Northern Virginia, it makes me furious to receive my electricity bill and see that even though I used less electricity than the same month last year, I am paying significantly more. And this happens every year. Do yo

Putting aside the fact that no company should have direct access to anyone's brain, how cool would it be to be building toward VISOR (from TNG) instead of this. If we could translate sensor signals to the neural circuitry of the brain

And if you look very closely, you can see just the tiniest bit of backbone growing in the backs of the Democratic congresspeople. If they continue to nurture this growth, they may even be able to sit up straight. That would be a marked impr

I switched from caffeine (coffee) to theacrine (pills) and I like it so much more. I feel alert and focused without added anxiety. It doesn’t seem to affect my sleep at all. I really didn’t like how hard it was to quit coffee. I don’t like

I agree with you. People are far too optimistic. On a practical level, though, how much of these increasing issues can be temporarily ameliorated by better ventilated houses, schools, offices, etc.? In other words, does reducing the average

His acting is laughably, painfully bad and then suddenly incredibly poignant and for some reason for the whole time it's bad I'm subconsciously like "oh this part doesn't count". It's so easy to root for him

It's unlikely that anyone will see this but I tried using Zed again after not using it for a while and the power draw is significantly lower! So I don't think it is related to those issues after all. I don't see much of a dif

Yes VSCode uses far less power than Zed on my machine. I believe it is probably related to these issues: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/21146 https://github.com/zed-industries&#x

I would love to switch but the battery draw on my mac is just too much! I like to move around to different places in my home as I work so being able to be on battery for a while is a must for me (not to mention that I do travel occasionally

It’s a good thing they had central planning to come up with this system and well defined regulations to ensure it worked appropriately.
