That’s not really the issue. The issue I have (sometimes) is that it might discover it has read-only access to most places (.git, github) and so sometimes when it thinks it “finish…

Seems like a good court argument too—no destruction of data was even attempted because I know I have my iCloud or Google backup. Personally, my phone has access credentials to info…

But at least now I know why the lane near me just has a physical button next to each lane (and manual scorecards)

The government departments know those things because the parents registered on those lists. It doesn’t automatically just “know”, and that info is historically not usually shared b…

A few I’ve seen in person are someone buying about a dozen pallets of water and a half dozen of a vegetable (it was cabbage or leek if I recall). But that was more about the absurd…

That dehumidifier is also AC, just done much more wastefully (because it dumps the waste heat into your house instead of outside the house)

That seems likely normally not viable in most warm places because the humidity would quickly rot out the floors. Part of the ‘conditioning’ in the name is that quite a lot of water…

Sometimes yes. My dentist explained she recommended Colgate because none of their 30 equal choices used to contain stannous floride, so it was easier to shop by brand than search f…

That aluminum beverage can (and also tin cans) is lined with a kind of plastic, so you and food aren’t in contact with the actual aluminum in that case

It probably formed a weak battery electrode with the bowl and electro-deposited it on the substrate (pizza). Happens often with tomato sauces, like lasagnas.

That’s what this article here is about. Yes, FDA is known to make questionable actions, as are other agencies around safety or efficacy of drugs. But here the statistics continue t…

Yeah, but picking utf8 over wtf8 for this in 2026 feels a lot like picking utf16 over utf8 in 1995. You know the choice is broken and you know there is a correct fix already out th…

Why would repeating a study now and getting the same result as when it was first measured in 2020 be a reason to doubt the safety? I’m also pro-vax, so I don’t think it is correct …

Having read it, he does cite something for almost every claim. Although almost every source also contradicts his conclusions on some basic, logical, statistical, mathematical, or h…

I was on a jury for a case like that. The charges included committing the other crimes in the presence of a minor. The minor in reference was a few days away from his 18th birthday…

Not net zero exactly, since it’s a flows and rates problem, not static equilibrium. So it could even be strongly positive effect or negative effect based on how quickly the heat ge…

> Ill-formed UTF-16 is replaced with U+FFFD by default, or escaped under {:?}. Silently corrupting the path seems an odd choice in this day and age, when WTF8 has existed for many …

This seems the real answer. The question of whether the billing team can set accurate maximums is largely disjoint from the question of whether the engineering team shuts off servi…

And contrast ratio seems far higher to add on to the benefits. I want to like reflective displays, and there are many new ones lately too, but they just fall a bit short, especiall…

That’s entirely a user package manager though and is GPs point: what uv does cannot be done in a package manager like apt which sees itself as only doing system package management.…

It’s not horribly broken any more than your toaster is for not needing constant updates. Though I do have such a longstanding love/hate relationship with Ubuntu because of this. It…

Wouldn’t c99 also make you name the type there (looking sort of like a cast), further straying from being just kwargs? I thought this was a c++ deduction feature for it to bind the…

This is such a clever way to automate so that the setup actually works. I just set it up, and wonder why the author didn’t set it up to trigger grayscale on app opening. I noticed …

It’s 1 automation for all apps The clever insight here is that it automates turning grayscale back on whenever you leave (or alternatively open) an app

Good. I’ve driven with people who learned to drive in a city and so were not taught to use high beams ever, out of fear of accidentally annoying on coming drivers
