I got bit by this with redis a couple years ago. The default install on my VPS's distro had it open to the world by default, and it even configured UFW for me (gee thanks!) No pass…

It is safe to assume anything Darren Korb works on has an amazing OST. Heck even the games that aren't that good (of which there is arguably only 1) have an amazing OST.

Missing my favorite - Transistor Also missing the classic Dreamweb.

Pretty sure my choosing to work for companies ran by stable sane people is responsible for the complete lack of drug fueled orgy invites on my calendar. Actually the one drugs + st…

> If I turn my old gorenje all out on four burners it'll output the likes of maybe 30kW give or take. The largest burner is I think about 15KW on full throttle and that does only a…

50% of a gas burner's power goes into the air. Every test done comparing residential gas vs induction burners has shown induction burners heat up pots and pans faster than gas. Ind…

Induction is faster than gas. I had an issue when I first got induction where I'd warp my pans because I turned the stove up to max and the metal would get so hot so fast the botto…

> Seattle has piped gas, This is block by block. Long ago Seattle asked home owners on each block to foot the bill to run gas. Many blocks said yes, some said no. For blocks where …

Counterpoint - my dirt cheap entry level induction cooktop has been incredibly reliable. We cook intensely with it almost every day and have done so for years. Do I wish it was sma…

The upper end is all about coding. If I have terra on extra high write code, Sol will find a plethora of bugs and rip the code apart. Anything else? Sure use a cheaper model.

> Ever since, I keep wondering how many ghostings happen because the person holding the strings disappears for some reason, and there's a lack of system to follow up on that. This …

Over a wire it sends pulses of electricity which you can see with an oscilloscope. Heck there is a standard for tcp/ip over short wave if you want to hear the bytes being transmitt…

A byte is quite real. On old machines you could open them up and literally point to where bytes were physically stored in memory. Now days of course the chips are small so you have…

Needs a language filter. The author I'm shown today is writing in another language, making my views not that meaningful.

Having my main pair of prescription glasses, covered by insurance, also be my Bluetooth headset is super useful. The camera feature is also really nice for a lot of non-creepy use …

Counter point - driving down the beach in a convertible with good tunes blasting and the sea breeze in your hair is fun . Like yeah it sucks for everyone listening, but if every ot…

Chatgpt is so damn good for cooking it is unbelievable. It will learn your family's tastes over time, you can tell it what pantry staples you keep is stock, and you can take any re…

Very off topic - Just 2 days of for fun I tried to login to AOL.com with my username and PW from 1995. (Same username as on HN in fact) It worked! That is one hell of a series of g…

Sorry I should have specified that is the pro controller, typical use case is a docked switch and the controller is used while on a couch or some such. Literally the worst case sce…

Anyone remember that blog post from a few months back where someone was able to improve a model's math ability by just duplicating layers that were activated while solving math pro…

I don't use tik tok (it never managed to adjust itself to me, YT shorts figured me out faster). I pay for YT Premium so I don't see ads, and I have ad blockers everywhere else, and…

It's funny, the only place I see Kalshi mentioned is here on HN for articles about how bad Kalshi is. Same for all the sports betting sites. I'm sure they are all bad, but damned i…

It is typically a 40hr battery life. ~6 hours is quite a drop.

My 8 year old switch is happy. The switch doesn't fast charge at absurd rates and generally has good thermals.
