    I have a Hisense HiReader Pro and it's awesome + super usable for actual day to day phone things on wifi, but the cell reception overlaps with a single LTE band in the US that's no…

    I have a HiSense HiReader Pro that I picked up right when it came out. It's absolutely loaded with nonsense + makes zillions of requests to Chinese IPs and it takes ages to figure …

    Seems like this is more of a "PostgreSQL distribution with search extensions" than "ParadeDB is an open source ElasticSearch alternative built on Postgres..." Interesting, sure, bu…

    fwiw that's a vehicle with a modified exhaust (and not a particularly fast one to begin with)

    Also anecdotally in this group - switched from AT&T yearly prepaid (25$/m or so) to post-paid Verizon because it got worse and worse over the three years I had it. Throttling got s…

    It'd be an excellent joke to not fix it

    I can’t wait for the day the EU actually tries to enforce their laws on individuals and companies with no presence there. Will be a fun extradition battle to watch

    Many of the points in this article are entirely a matter of implementation, not inherent to or ingrained in any particular architectural choice. You can just as easily build a high…

    I used to use mithril for almost every new project I'd start, but I've switched over to using React w/ Hooks for just about everything for two main reasons: - toolchain support is …

    > TC2 is based on the 2017 TF2 source code leak ... Has Valve ever made a statement on this? Sounds like a terrible idea to me / this could be taken down on a whim by Valve.

    The third point is extremely close to how trucks have always been built. Body-on-frame construction has been prevalent in the automotive industry for a very long time. Ever see a c…

    Is it just me or did apple just bungle this entire announcement by not announcing a consumer facing ARM MacOS device, only a hot-rodded Mac Mini with an iPad Pro chip inside. How m…

    I absolutely agree. The one time I had the great misfortune of building software for windows I was extremely happy to see Go worked at all. Linux and OS X largely work the same way…

    VINs roughly follow patterns, so if you know one, you can figure out many other cars with very little brute force effort. vinwiki probably has a guide explaining them somewhere if …

    This is neat, but the way blueprintjs handles Hotkeys is my absolute favorite of anything I've used. https://blueprintjs.com/docs/#core/components/hotkeys It's essentially a JS dec…

    Kinda anecdotal, but the one in Richardson (DFW) is almost always packed. Easily one of my favorite brick and mortar stores anywhere.
