iPad Pro M1. I use it rarely. Anything I can’t do on my phone I use my MacBook or pc. Consuming media is better on my laptop display, and easier to type/navigate. It just doesn’t r…

Yes, the battery needs coding to tell the car about its capacity, battery type, etc. to optimize the charging. Fortunately coding modules is not completely locked behind dealer-onl…

Take Volkswagen vehicles (VW/Audi, mainly). Nearly every electronic module in the car that you'd want to replace has component protection, making it literally impossible for a non-…

Yes, I was mistaken. Instead, it seems to be referring to a salary or hourly threshold specifically for overtime exemption.

Thank you for the response, I was missing important context. I came across this scrolling through the WAC page. I found a few articles that clear it up as well: "Effective January …

I'm a salaried software engineering employed in Washington state. I make a bit under $100k. Today I learned about minimum wage laws in WA state for computing professionals that wou…

I could get behind that type of short, clear legalese.

A big thing that concerns me is the absurd levels of tint people are putting on their windows. I bought a used car last year that came with 20% all around, and I removed it from th…

It doesn't bother me in my case since it's not my main monitor. I have a high refresh rate main monitor, and an ancient 60hz (1680x1050) second monitor. I don't notice it because I…

I sleep with my phone under my pillow. I should probably stop.

I'm a bit younger than you, but I have had a similar realization. I love programming, but sitting around all day at a desk does not seem fun for the next several decades, and reall…

Work used to use Jira. Then switched to Linear. Now they recently moved back to Jira. I'm thinking about leaving.

All of the pixels were already taken by the time I tried, but I did an "error" pixel (11, 26) just for my own pleasure. Somehow I got RGB(255, 50, 194), which is different from the…

I don't have this many windows open constantly, but I can say that I do a lot of C & C++ stuff with VSCode and my M1 MBP 14 has absolutely zero trouble keeping up. In fact, I often…

Interesting observation: I deleted my Twitter account, but created one again recently. Turns out, I was better off without it, so I only login a few times a month to see content fr…

My rationale is that prenups are an acknowledgment that sometimes, people discover things don’t work out. Agreeing what each person has from the beginning confirms the commitment o…

C++ 17 is the sweet spot for me. It has most of C++ 11/14, with many new features I use a ton: constexpr, , , [[maybe_unused]], new SFINAE feature (if constexpr), and more. (And th…

Side note, but Silo is one of my favorite shows in a long time. Up there with Severance. Watch it if you haven’t. I actually bought the first book, Wool, because I liked it so much…

Had the same experience with Facebook. Looking back, I’m glad it happened that way.

The merging and the lane etiquette are the two biggest for me, though I do a lot more driving now than a few years ago. People going below the speed limit in the leftmost lanes reg…

I was wondering about that. What would be the proper way of doing it? Perhaps glue…but then you have the screws that hold on the titanium caps. Maybe carbon fiber in general wasn’t…

I wanted to become a doctor. But I also wanted to study engineering. I didn’t want to do some relatively useless degree path like biology simply to fill all the required prerequisi…

But why now and not a few years ago? The spike appears to have started at the beginning of this year which is most intriguing to me.

I have an Audi from ~2017. Then, a few years ago, the 3G network was shut down in the US. Can't use the app to unlock the doors or check the car status. I think I prefer it like th…

These are features on most of the mid to high end Audis.
