There are still physical P, R, N, D controls right below the phone chargers. They aren't exactly easy to use, though.

> Tesla is probably at greatest risk here, having recently ditched physical stalks that instead move the turn signal functions to haptic buttons on the steering wheel. I hate to br…

This is my wife. She purchased a bunch of USB-A to USB-c cables off Amazon and wonders why her laptop runs out of power while plugged in - it's because the laptop needs 25-30 watts…

This is because you are using SQL Server. Microsoft has intentionally made cloud pricing for SQL server prohibitively expensive for non-Azure cloud workloads by requiring per-core …

I disagree about the F1000's having a highly competent CTO office team. Much less unlimited HC and budget. Earlier in my career I worked my way up from Linux sysadmin to Enterprise…

Not all crypto bros are ignorant and don't know how to use proper hearing protection or firearm safety. In fact, not all of them are gun nuts or hardcore libertarians. 52 million A…

Anyone who has done software engineering on a reasonably sized "2 pizza team" would have to acknowledge that it's easier to do software engineering if you're all co-located at the …

You can try that approach if you like. Good luck to you!

> but if you don't believe that most remote workers are actually (checks notes) working I never said that. I'm talking about a very specific smaller group of workers: those that st…

Germany is irrelevant to the story at hand, but I find it extremely rich how since Covid many younger workers now feel entitled to a paycheck and full-time employment benefits even…

Good point. I think NATO will realize eventually he's more allied with Putin than he is with the west.

I don't understand why the west, including us in the US, even put up with Erdogan's regime at all. I remember when Erdogan's personal bodyguards decided to start attacking peaceful…

I don't see why companies that facilitate criminal acts are not swiftly brought to legal justice. We should not be tolerating companies like NSO group in any sense. If the Israeli …

Alabama is particularly egregious, and we, as a society, should keep trying to fix that, but does that mean California and New York should try to do the opposite to cancel it out? …

Apparently it's a lot better than the US under Rishi Sunak. https://twitter.com/RishiSunak/status/1668174629695832064?s=... How refreshing it must be to have a government run by a …

Incorrect. As long as your front wheels pass the stop line prior to the light turning red, you are legally driving through the intersection and should continue and clear the inters…

Correct. The law states that as long as your front wheels are in the intersection prior to the light turning red, you should proceed through the intersection. Inexperienced drivers…

Were they Chinese nationals?

Wen Ho Lee was a PRC spy and was caught exfiltrating secrets. Hardly a reasonable example of unjust persecution. Are you serious? No US person seriously believes we will deport a C…

Thank you for bringing a voice of reason to this discussion. Far too many pilloried the US over the decades for unjust wars. Perhaps there are some, like Vietnam, Iraq, etc, but a …

I don't think this is true at all. Apple keeps releasing amazing new features for Logic Pro and they are free. They also just released Logic Pro for the iPad, and the new M2 iPad P…

I guess you just discovered the difference between a GCP Zone and an AWS Availability Zone. By definition, AWS availability zones do not share fault domains, other than a geographi…

This really has nothing to do with cloud and is more of an "all eggs in one basket" problem. I wish people would stop painting cloud itself as less capable. The fact is, most cloud…
