There's a set of lights in the lower left-hand edge and on the very upper right-hand edge. When it's time to select a mission look for the yellow arrow near those lights. Hitting t…

Right or wrong, there are a lot of people who treat guys differently based on what they drive. In a corporate office there is social pressure to drive something that fits your role…

Microsoft Trusted Signing only tells me you were able to get a key. If this is intended to be an open source project, transparency would go a long way. The source code and actual h…

The normal corolla does not have a turbo at all. Besides the turbo, the GR Corolla has a completely different engine, different transmission, all wheel drive, limited slip transaxl…

This reeks of likely malware. - Fake commit history - No source code, despite being hosted on github - Windows-only binaries available for download If I weren't on my work computer…

That is not a modern Corolla iM. The iM had about 130hp. The GR has 300. The iM had comfortable, "sensible Corolla" suspension. The GR has race suspension. This is not a "basically…

I've wanted a Porsche my entire life. Doesn't have to be a track monster - actually, I'd prefer a lower-powered one. I want the handling of a Boxster, but a truly fast car is only …

There are new hybrids available for $30k. There are new vehicles available for $22k. There are reasonable used vehicles available for $10k. The problem with the Slate isn't that ch…

I completely agree. A base Prius is $30k. A base Kia Niro is $27k. Those are hybrids and not EV's, but 50+mpg is not bad. Those also come with power windows and many other features…

This is nitpicky (and it supports your point, I'm not arguing): Colocated data centers became a commodity decades ago. Currently they are a scarce commodity that's in high demand, …

During his tenure, yes. Volcker remains famous among finance nerds, because it turns out he was right. He caused a recession and risked his own job, but in doing so he successfully…

Just in case this isn't hyperbole, no. It means an LLM should not be given that much privilege and that you are responsible for reviewing the tool's output and approving its action…

Eh, separation of concerns. Given NASA's PR budget, it seems reasonable that they should be able to produce quality launch coverage. The many people involved in safely launching a …

He was a talented con artist. While I don't have the link offhand, I recall reading an in-depth article the New York Times published on Epstein's rise. He gained connections first …

This is true in the USA where motorcycles are expensive toys. When I visit India, most motorcycles on the road seem to be very quiet in comparison. The constant sound of horns is m…

> It can refactor very well but that's it. Can it though? I thought it was most useful for writing new code, but have so far never had it correctly refactor existing code. Its refa…

I'm somewhat convinced this is already a thing. It would explain some of the meeting notices I get.

The 5 little fans are on high while the box fan is on low. The box fan is capable of much higher airflow, but the objection is noise. The PC case fans have been specifically design…

In some orgs the move to the cloud was driven by accountants. In my org it was driven by lawyers. With GDPR on the horizon and murmurs of other data privacy laws that might (but di…

Part of the difference might be our obsession with sugary foods and drink. There are several different kinds of wasps here. Paper wasps and mud daubers are not all that aggressive …

I wholeheartedly disagree. Grocery stores in the US are typically much larger than grocery stores abroad. A Kroger, Publix, Piggly Wiggly, Schnuck's, or HyVee will typically have j…

I agree with both these points, though I'm much more willing to check a bag when traveling on vacation than when traveling on business. If I were to lose a bag on vacation there wo…

I'm in a similar minority - I simply don't understand Gaudi's visions. Touring another building he designed left me in a similar state of confusion. His work strikes me as kitschy …

Ditto! It reminded me of the time in college when I built a Beowulf cluster from recently-retired Pentium II desktops. Was it fast? No. But that wasn't the point. I was learning ab…

No issues browsing or playing media on Mint XFCE, but I'm not using Flatpak. On old hardware (~10 year old laptop with a Core i5-5200u and integrated graphics), I do have trouble w…
