You can switch them off but only until the engine is turned off again. Most manufacturers have a shortcut on the dashboard or steering wheel though. Eventually you just get used to…

This approach is also what I'm still missing in agentic coding. It's even worse there because the AI can churn out code and never think "I've typed the same thing 5x now. This can'…

I've once received a USB-C charger with a portable breast milk warmer device that outputted 18V at 2A without doing PD negotiation. That fried another device when I plugged it in. …

It was Austria, and I think it's pretty telling that when free speech limitations come up in these kind of threads, it's always neo-Nazi stuff.

I was naively hoping that with the M4 iPad the opposite of this would happen and they would let us unlock the power of this device so I could use it as my dev machine when I'm trav…

Kiel has a tiny airport that doesn't have any scheduled services, but they have a large port with ferry and cruise terminals.

For MacOS I can really recommend https://orbstack.dev It integrates very nicely, has very low CPU idle usage and also lets you quickly spawn VMs with bidirectional file sharing set…

Strong types aren't just a correctness guarantee, they also help to discover structure and interfaces that previously were implicit. If a developer can jump into an unknown part of…

Your comment history explicitly mentions that you are a fascist. I guess nowadays you folks stopped measuring skull shapes and read things into internet comments instead.

Is there any proof that people trying to fly and jumping off a building is actually real? I always assumed it's some sort of anti drug meme that had been around since forever.

Same thing here. The worst part is when websites don't actually require an email confirmation to keep using them. In the beginning I've tried to reach out to those companies to clo…

What does "truth" even mean here? All of these things are about society, culture and the human experience. There's no universal truth to be found there. The best I can do is apply …

useCallback makes sure that you don't recreate a function you need in a component at every re-render but only when its dependencies change. It returns a function. useMemo returns a…

I love cacio e pepe. It's such an amazing dish for how simple it is. One thing that can be tricky is keeping the emulsion smooth and not suddenly have the cheese turn chunky. What …

As much as I'd love to have the Transrapid, I think for this specific case the ~100 minutes are already pretty much making Hamburg - Berlin flights obsolete, especially with the ai…

The earth is 4.5 billion years old so I don't understand what you mean with "400 out of 500 million years". Also for a lot of that time earth was a hellishly hot place with little …

The thing is thought that through discovery and feeds it happens often that a much larger amount of folks than the ones belonging to the core community flood in. Downvotes alone wo…

Moderation is also essential to keep communities on topic and enforce a baseline quality level. It doesn't matter for a generic "funny" kind of community, but something like /r/Ask…

They would be perfectly monetizable if they wanted to. I'd happily pay for a Reddit premium subscription if I can keep using Apollo, because I use it for the better UX, not to skip…

I wouldn't call the user experience "perfectly fine" though. It's about as "perfectly fine" for exploring the content on a phone as pasta with ketchup is perfectly fine for eating.…

Your last sentence makes it hard to take any ideas you have about where on the political spectrum anything lies seriously.

Implying what? That the BBC is explicitly tagging their own articles as disinformation because they're just that inept at propaganda? Or could it be that they have a unit fighting …

A lot of people with family in Russia will be able to tell you that their Russian side of the family supports Putin so much that they will not even believe their Ukrainian family m…

I'm playing on a PC with a 4-5 year old i7, a very fast M2 SSD and an RTX2080. Performance is overall good at relatively high presets and the majority of normal gameplay is ok in t…

I would rather assume that basic consciousness is a property of a certain kind of computation over time that keeps state in a way that allows you to experience the events of the wo…
