There are still physical P, R, N, D controls right below the phone chargers. They aren't exactly easy to use, though.

This is my wife. She purchased a bunch of USB-A to USB-c cables off Amazon and wonders why her laptop runs out of power while plugged in - it's because the laptop needs 25-30 watts and those cables can only put out 5 watts because they

This is because you are using SQL Server. Microsoft has intentionally made cloud pricing for SQL server prohibitively expensive for non-Azure cloud workloads by requiring per-core licensing that is extremely punitive for the way EC2 and RDS

I disagree about the F1000's having a highly competent CTO office team. Much less unlimited HC and budget. Earlier in my career I worked my way up from Linux sysadmin to Enterprise architect and designed a private vSphere/vCAC pri

Not all crypto bros are ignorant and don't know how to use proper hearing protection or firearm safety. In fact, not all of them are gun nuts or hardcore libertarians. 52 million Americans own crypto, do you really think they're a

Anyone who has done software engineering on a reasonably sized "2 pizza team" would have to acknowledge that it's easier to do software engineering if you're all co-located at the same physical location in the same timez

Good point. I think NATO will realize eventually he's more allied with Putin than he is with the west.

I don't understand why the west, including us in the US, even put up with Erdogan's regime at all. I remember when Erdogan's personal bodyguards decided to start attacking peacefully protesting US residents in Washington DC i

I don't see why companies that facilitate criminal acts are not swiftly brought to legal justice. We should not be tolerating companies like NSO group in any sense. If the Israeli government wants to look the other way, we should desig

Alabama is particularly egregious, and we, as a society, should keep trying to fix that, but does that mean California and New York should try to do the opposite to cancel it out? No, that would be wrong. Two wrongs don't make a right,

Apparently it's a lot better than the US under Rishi Sunak. https://twitter.com/RishiSunak/status/1668174629695832064?s=... How refreshing it must be to have a government run by a middle-aged person that know

Incorrect. As long as your front wheels pass the stop line prior to the light turning red, you are legally driving through the intersection and should continue and clear the intersection on the other side (not stop in the middle). Imagine h

Correct. The law states that as long as your front wheels are in the intersection prior to the light turning red, you should proceed through the intersection. Inexperienced drivers that either stay in the intersection or try to reverse into

Wen Ho Lee was a PRC spy and was caught exfiltrating secrets. Hardly a reasonable example of unjust persecution. Are you serious? No US person seriously believes we will deport a Chinese national on a legitimate visa for their political vie

Thank you for bringing a voice of reason to this discussion. Far too many pilloried the US over the decades for unjust wars. Perhaps there are some, like Vietnam, Iraq, etc, but a far worse outcome would be to have the global security situa

I don't think this is true at all. Apple keeps releasing amazing new features for Logic Pro and they are free. They also just released Logic Pro for the iPad, and the new M2 iPad Pros are basically more powerful than Intel Macs at this

I guess you just discovered the difference between a GCP Zone and an AWS Availability Zone. By definition, AWS availability zones do not share fault domains, other than a geographic region up to hundreds of miles wide. Even for services use

This really has nothing to do with cloud and is more of an "all eggs in one basket" problem. I wish people would stop painting cloud itself as less capable. The fact is, most cloud providers offer multiple regions, which have the

Thanks, that's good advice. Luckily we've burned a tank or so every road trip (every few months) but I was wondering about that and whether it was good for gas to sit so long.

This really wouldn't work for any car made in the last 20 years. Most of them have anti-theft systems that require you to put in a PIN to use your stereo if it ever gets disconnected from the battery. I suppose you could type that in e
