Even better than making sense of it, but just give the AI all of the parameters that you want to build or remodel a house and have it give you a 90% complete model that an architec…

Seems normal. What are your precious vehicles? My wife’s C250 cost 10K to fix a relatively minor bumper collision.

I disagree. I have been waiting 3 months for parts, in the mean time my sensors collision don’t work and I have constant annoying dash messages saying my sensors don’t work.

Hate to break it to you but you will be waiting months to get it fixed. I’ve been waiting on parts for about 3 months to get mine fixed for relatively minor damage. got rear ended …

Cardio: alternate total gym rower & run (also jump rope sometimes) Strength: TRX & body weight exercises Works well for me, but I’m not super into strength training at this time. I…

In my opinion, if you can put in the time, I would just suck it up and go get the degree. You are still relatively young, so if you can get a degree at 35-40ish, that's still 25+ w…

Yes I agree with this. In fact, having already done this math myself I am basically maxed out in house loans, i even took a cash out loan on my rental and dumped it into the stock …

I would start with bogleheads. I also always recommend people start with bogleheads and learning about 3 fund investing. However I feel they are slightly too conservative especiall…

Except that it’s not really “gaining ground”, all things considered Rust is not that popular.

Since the light turns on when the camera is on I don’t think it’s creeepy… if there wasn’t a notification light then it would be creepy.

Yes I agree, I also use typing.NamedTuple a lot

Agree. I went from an early 2011 15" MBP fully decked out with SSD, 16G mem, matte screen (which I loved.. but spilled beer on) to the 13" mbp touch and love everything about it.

I think the complaint here (if I understand you correctly) is that you are giving a vacation day and then making a certain day mandatory to use it. This practice is common among co…

n=2, see my response to chmars

Wow, you linked a homeopathic reference. This doesn't really deserve a response but I'll give it anyways. It's anecdotal, but for the first 3 days after a major timezone travel dif…

1) I don't believe this is possible on a joint return 2) If indeed it is possible, what's stopping you from filing as "married filing separately"?

According to the book traffic, your dad is right. But the effeciency only works if everybody waits. After reading Traffic, I always merge at the last minute (and I have never had t…

McDonalds quality control is second to none. Their standard menu tastes practically the same everywhere in the world. It's the same with Starbucks. I know that no matter what part …

"There's absolutely no risk and it's completely free to get started." IMO, That sentence is too verbose, especially with the title above it. Since 'Risk' is in the title, I would c…

Janus is amazing. I replaced all of the hassle of maintaining a bunch of plugins and vimrc with Janus and a few lines in ~/.vimrc.local and ~/.janus.rake With Janus, you can easily…

I know #1 looks completely insane, but I have been studying Chinese for about 2 years, and I just started writing 3 or 4 months ago, and the breakdown of it is actually fairly simp…

Absolutely agree with this post. I didn't grow up with a lot of money, and was raised on the 'If it's available Wal-Mart, buy it at Wal-Mart' mentality. Looking back on this, I was…

It's really too bad there is not a matte option for it. I agonized over the MBA vs MBP decision for about a year, and finally got the High-End 15" 2011 MBP model with the matte scr…

Yeah, the battery life thing is a real killer. My work computer is a sony vaio running linux. I like it well enough but it only gets 2.5 hours on a new battery! It's far and away t…

While this graph is indeed accurate for a static income, for many people the income will increase over the years (on top of the inflation) which will cause difference to be a littl…
