I feel like I've lived in enough places and they're pretty small relatively speaking but whatever, seems like we'll see how it actually plays out. I'm not saying it's going to randomly speed up to 80mph and crash in

They don't buy a laptop but a seat for some amount of years. So they're guaranteed X amount of laptops for Y years. The selling company is obviously going to min/max this contract as much as they can. You could order a bunch

One of the reasons to not cut your hair and wear a turban is that a Sikh can't hide out in a crowd. You always know who is Sikh. This coupled with the mandate that a Sikh must always help those in need means that you always know where

It's very easy to adapt (as an immigrant). It's not rocket science. I wonder what the argument is going to be since it's way easier with the internet now to be primed already.

I must have tried ~15 or 20 times to quit. I mean really, going at least a week without smoking. I was ~1 pack a day. It stuck the last time, and it's been 5 years I think? People said you'd never stop craving it, which was true f

Look again, they are back. City did a trial for 3 or 4 companies and gave a permit to 2 this time around. So they’re back for a while.

In a lot of states you used to be able to get the address of a license plate with $5 in admin fees. Not sure if that is still allowed.

If you want to use NixOs: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Ortuna/b6e95d6baefd2a1683... -- with the latest kernel, even the webcam is working now (the only thing that didn't).

none for me on the 2018 model. Pretty much love it. I did have the older one 2 models ago, which did have the whine, but I bought it at a discount because of that.

It does drain, maybe 2%/hr but I thought that was normal? That's what I expect to get on a Mac. I did have to `echo XHC > /proc/acpi/wakeup` because I would shut the lid, but something on the USB bus kept turning

The article is talking about remote areas (NZ - Lord of the Rings), beaches, camping trails etc. These areas didn't get a lot of traffic. Now they do which is leading to the undesired outcomes. It's not talking about locals vs tou

Have he new 9370 with NixOS, no cool whine. Although I had it on the one I had 2 models ago. WiFi and Bluetooth work fine for me. So maybe they’ve worked the kinks out?

I feel like these things are made to be found. They undermine our election process and democracy.

It's totally worth $200. Same person has probably splurged on something they deem is worth $200.

This type of article might be the step to demystifying photography. But the story I get told over and over again (not directly, but by exposure) is about the photographer that traveled miles and waited days to get that shot.

That would seem like the strategy used. Mark all the low ratings as "fake" until the business stops paying. Just do a review again. "ohh these weren't fake" reviews and restore them.

Fiberglas boats mass-produced ~20,30+ years ago have been holding up well (depending on maintenance). So they are relatively cheap now. Something that was really mass-produced like the Catalina can be bought for like 10k for a 27 foot one

You can select the language on the poster page. It'll let you select any/all languages it detects. Everything is automated so I only look at the poster if someone asks me to checkout an inconsistency (was earlier, not at all now).

The PDF library I use gives you the dimensions of a certain letter (via FreeType I believe). I just plot 'X' (or any char for monospace) and get it's width, height. You could support ignoring binary/generated code with a

Execution. I'm a total language nut. So learning each was fun on it's own. Go's package management was a heart breaker for me (at the time). Coming back and fixing an issue in Go was ok until my build machine on EC2 messed up
