I had some fun history with this OS. First, we had ICON computers in my elementary school, we'd all try to spin the trackball as quickly as it would go. Not sure if we ever broke o…

Yup. On startup, it runs cpuid and assigns each operation the most optimal function pointer for that architecture. In addition to things like ‘supports avx’ or ‘supports sse4’ some…

I like the way you think. As a Canadian, I’m disgusted that we educate our youth and then send them to the US to take jobs from Americans and pay taxes to the Americans. We should …

Don’t forget sonarr for tv shows

Every once in a while I try to become an Amazon seller through FBA. I sell quality goods without a huge markup. My latest attempt resulted in 1/3 of the goods being returned becaus…

Assuming these mortgages are insured through CMHC, would HSBC be on the hook or the insurance system when some of these mortgages fail? Canadians are certainly paying for social se…

The March rate cuts are not guaranteed. The markets can stay irrational longer than you (the companies in question) can remain solvent.

I have two usb-c ports on my desktop. I’ve never used them. Almost everything that has a usb-c connection can easily be connected with a c to a connector. My laptop, on the other e…

I'd love to, but I need to finish my Space Exploration run first! 200h in and I'm not done with the four sciences (and I'm still using bots in space for the majority of them).

Lots of those nodes are not unique - especially if you're from breeding ground with more constraints (e.g. Iceland).

I do work for an American company but with Canadian branches. I doubled my salary over Canadian tech companies but still only make 50-60% what my American peers make.

Just like our GDP per capita.

As a Canadian tech worker, fuck this. I get paid 'market rate' which is substantially less than my American peers.

Does it really matter what status folks come over with? That's still net +1 million folks that need to be housed and fed in a calendar year.

1.5 million over 5 years are a rookie numbers. We did 1 million just last year. And our housing minister of housing in Canada just bought his second rental property.

I'm curious how the second screen experience will translate. Steam Deck emulators either hotkey the second screen or have a very tiny window on the side.

Yup. In Ontario, it feels like something is broken. Most of Jan and Feb was above freezing. Usually there’s only a handful of days above freezing.

Totally. As a software engineer, I own an anvil. Smashing things with a hammer is very cathartic.

Only if you project our current system onto a world where people don't die from age related diseases. Expect massive social change.

Phhhhtttt, next you'll tell me the $25K 4k TV I bought in 2012 can be bought by the masses for next to nothing.

Very curious to know if Venture + VM + Linux + Steam is a setup that'll work with the new VM support. I kind of want to play some old school windows games, but I don't want to pay …

I used to love my nVidia shield. First it was a Disney+ ad, then it was a Tim Hortons ad. It's gotten so slow I'm planning to replace it in the near future, probably with something…

Another plausible explanation is that `100 Gigabytes of RAM` is more catchy than `100 Megabytes of RAM`

Yes, but you've got to be careful as there's plenty of fake NMN out there, and it's also not shelf stable according to David Sinclair (in a tweet). The stuff I got was from Alive B…
