I have children and I’ve never heard any arguments for DLS that make any sense. Most of the time people conflate longer summer days with DLS. The situation with dark mornings is wi…

Sleep is the bottleneck.

Reminds me of this overpass in Lynnwood Washington. https://maps.app.goo.gl/CKrJFsAjcTd6wbYn6?g_st=ipc

I call my personal methodology PDD, Pain Driven Development. Fix the thing that is causing the most pain. Or is likely to cause pain in the near future.

I also was bit disappointed when it wasn't smart wheels. Then I got impressed to see it handle the drops and stairs.

I’m a fan of authentic retro hardware. That sounds like an awesome cabinet, I would love to spend hours and pockets full of quarters playing on it. This post caused me to go down a…

My younger kids hadn’t seen the Matrix and I thought the 25th anniversary release in the theater would be perfect. Leading up to it I tried to create the mystery for them that I re…

I would be fine with the Pro models getting larger screens if they would shrink the standard phone. I'm still trying to survive with my 12 mini for as long as possible until the ba…

Excellent article. Very well presented with just the right level of detail and drama. I had no intention of learning about ADB or crazy Apple USB power-on hacks but here I am havin…

I agree with you but handing the power to the Executive Branch doesn't solve the problem. The people need to demand more from their elected officials but the two parties have done …

I want to respond with a Beowulf cluster joke. Then I remembered this isn’t slashdot and it isn’t 2001. Now I’m reminded of how old I’ve gotten.

This is crazy and amazing, thanks for sharing. I now want Matt Parker to do a video about it. He loves both spreadsheets and hexagons.

I was thinking the same thing. Skip the extra testing and yolo that thing to the moon.

A few months ago I paired for the tree data to figure out the best place on our property to place some planter beds. I’m very happy with the results. It confirmed my guess that a s…

I had been doing a similar 1kw trickle charging setup for 3 years. While it was sufficient for daily driving we would go on longer drives regularly, mostly on weekends so 2-4 times…

Projects like this are a great way to appreciate how much can fit into an IC. Reminds me of the Megaprocessor project. https://www.megaprocessor.com/index.html

I haven’t used Glassdoor for years. I just checked and my account didn’t have any personal information listed. My name and other fields in my profile were “*” I didn’t see a way to…

> ''After that, a police officer jumped into my car and did something which seemed to keep the car still." How can they leave it at “did something”. That is a very important part o…

I love my iPhone 12 mini I'm glad I was able to get a full rebuild under warranty 6 months ago. The main board died but as a side effect the battery life is back to a like-new stat…

I have a Tesla Model Y and I like to do UX testing the first time they ride in my car. People often have a harder time figuring out how to use the external door handles than gettin…

This matches my experience with our two EVs. One thing to add is that range increases a lot when driving below 45 mph. For city driving we get a lot more range for the same cost. S…

What has happened to HN the past few months? So much AI, Superconductors and open source air quality monitoring.

Power over Ethernet would be a nice option. Wouldn’t data over usb-c require a computer to drive it?

Wow, I totally forgot about solar fricken roadways. That video was 2014. Looks like they ended up getting over $6m in funding. I can’t tell how alive they are but they received som…

When CEOs make statements like this I assume they know they are lying for sake of the company. What makes this more interesting is that he clearly believed it was safe. So he wasn’…
