My 2021 Honda CR-V doesn’t get close to EPA MPG but the range calculator is still accurate to within maybe 15%. I’ve tested it a few times driving from Oakland to LA which is right around the full range of the car and it gets pretty close-

This seems like a fair way to split it up and would apply to a broad range of scenarios. I actually lean towards the tool being more opinionated about classifications like these- I’ve seen many tools that bog themselves down because people

How do you define difficulty? I’ve seen companies with vastly different opinions on difficulty based on how they’re set up. Can I edit the difficulty based on my own company’s needs?

Skateboarding. The mixture of creativity and physical exercise is extremely rewarding and it’s humbling to fall on concrete from time to time.

New Zealand is a long flight but IIRC it’s about a 21 hour time change to California (give or take DST) which only feels like about 3 hours. (Not defending the subject of the article, just an interesting time quirk).

I don't see CSS-in-JS as a rejection of separation of concerns. In fact, one of the big advantages of CSS-in-JS is that it lets you decide how best to separate your concerns. Using hand-tuned CSS will undoubtedly be the most performant

In the US almost everyone uses SMS. iMessage uses the same app as SMS, changing the message type based on whether the recipient can accept iMessages. So, most iPhone-to-iPhone communication ends up being SMS because we don’t have to change

The motion reminds me of the “crab scratch,” [1] a DJing technique that uses finger tapping to move the cross fader rapidly in a similar way. I wonder if someone brought the technique over from DJing or if it’s a kind of convergent evolutio

Interesting. I’m currently working on an “IoT” device and this seems like it could theoretically work. One concern I have is that there’s an initial step where the device creates an access point so that you can enter wifi credentials that i

I think it’s important context that this author recently had her book “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing our Daughters” blocked from sale at some outlets. You can decide whether that helps or hurts her argument.

If you’d like to learn more about what the Black Lives Matter organization worked on last year, you can see their 2020 impact report, including some impressive voter turnout results [1] If you’re interested specifically in organizations th

I think some context that might be helpful here is that European music theory really has spread throughout the world through colonialism, and is reinforced as the default in many ways and by many institutions. For example, at almost any uni

This is a somewhat strange comment for an article that is about someone who didn’t like the music software available to him and wrote his own, just as you described.

This is helpful! As noted in my other comments I’m realizing that the car I’m talking about is a Ford Model A which is completely different- and an indication of how much I have to learn. This post reminds me of this guide I found on my dad

Good tip. I am realizing that the Ford Model A I’m referring to in my post is a totally different. car but I know this advice still stands- my dad had forums he would visit to find parts, I wonder if I can figure out which ones those were.

Thank you for the resource! I’m realizing through these replies that I’m talking about a different (and much more common) Ford Model A- but it looks like he has one of those in his collection as well.

I inherited a 1928 model A from my dad last year that he’d had since the early 1970s. I’m looking forward to giving it a drive, but it’s in a garage at the top of a hill and I’m afraid if I drive it down I’ll never get it back up. If anyone

Wondering what kind of database/schema is being used here for the time series data- I have a Raspberry Pi tracking the moisture of the soil of one of my plants and I know I could be doing a lot better than my naive sqlite setup for his

The big takeaway for me here is that this “provisioning service” had enough internal dependencies that they couldn’t bring up new nodes. Seems like the worst thing possible during a big traffic spike.

As a Wesleyan alumn I was very surprised to see it so high, but I think it's likely a scraping error—searching for "Wesleyan University" shows many hits for Ohio Wesleyan, Kentucky Wesleyan, Texas Wesleyan, and so forth.

Doesn't seem like anyone has actually used POF here so I'll put it out there—it's the trashiest, most annoying dating site I've used.

Was just wondering... is this unusual? I guess the answer is, "kinda." For once though, the problems I'm experiencing aren't my fault. Nice!

My personal (though admittedly not dire) experience with college rankings hurting students was with artificially constricted class sizes that were strictly enforced in order to impress the rankings by having classes numbering fewer than 19
