Suppose I'm driving at 20 kph, and I set my cruise control to 40 kph. My car then goes WOT, overshoots my target speed and hits 120 kph, at which point it slams on the brakes[0], d…

> These days basically any ATM allows foreign cards I thought so, too, and perhaps it's just bad luck, but I was at Tokyo Station a few months ago, and I wasn't able to withdraw ca…

In case this anecdote is not made up, I would implore you or your friend be a bit more subtle at tokenmaxing (ugh). At $JOB, I'm under the same mandate, and it turns out that every…

Probably: a YouTuber tried something similar[0] and apparently was not accosted. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUHQ_lLD0n0

HN is how I discover whether other sites are down or not, so it serves a critical function, so of course I check it frequently. /s

Not as absurd as back when AOL bought them, but just barely so. I think I'll have an extra frothy latte for breakfast today.

Well, 68k lived on in spirit for a while in ColdFire[0]. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NXP_ColdFire

I sympathize, but the reality is that except for very specialized cases, (hyper) optimizing for CPU performance is unnecessary, even in the embedded space. A Cortex-M0 has roughly …

Rather than copy & paste, it should have been called a kill ring[0] (of max length one). :-) [0] https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Ki...

I won't be contributing much to rational discussion, but this "feature" annoys me so much that I just have to rant for a bit. ---- Like, is nobody in Google multi-lingual? Who the …

I've just installed this extension, and confirmed that -- at least for now -- it works. The translated titles will be flashed first, then replaced by the original titles.

My configured primary language is English, but I regularly watch contents in Chinese and Japanese, where I have sufficient mastery over to not need YouTube's subpar translation. Yo…

I don't think so, because there are too many things, but not enough time in life to find out your true preferences for them all, so we all are (to varying degree of) indifferent to…

Very interesting article, but this stood out to me: > To re-familiarize myself with this bug [...] I downloaded the broken version [...] and tried it out in some virtual machines. …

Yes, the system is not closed and certainly people may simply not contribute to Debian at all. However, my main point is that reasonable people disagree on the relative importance …

Just like the blog author, I updated two Macs, and one got the setup wizard and thus AI got re-enabled, while the other did not. Maybe it's a bug, or maybe it's A/B testing... ¯\_(…

I opened an account with Yotta before they pivoted more heavily into the gambling aspects, because I wanted them to succeed and bring prize-linked savings account[0] into the mains…

While we're at it, perhaps we should also presume little-endian byte order. As much as I prefer big-endian, little-endian had won . As consolation, big-endian will likely live on f…

Slightly OT but I much prefer the 9211+: the vent[*] makes a difference in comfort when worn over long periods. Or the 9105 / 9105S which sticks out further away from the face, and…

I think the difference is that as an individual driver you have an incentive to keep your car clean, so that Lyft continues to dispatch riders to you. For Waymo the selective press…
