Folks don't want anything built near them ever. Even if it's as benign as housing.

Yes, though the fidelity offered by faithful CAD would be both easier to interpret correctly and might even hint at the CAD feature tree. Kudos to them for releasing models useful …

I do that. My slide decks these days are hand scribbled.

This sounds great. I would've loved to have set my phone to charge up to only 60% or 80% of its design capacity to reduce wear. I do this on my laptop.

I bet you'd see natural market driven concentration around rail stations in Texas too, if they had a useful rail network.

That's a big part of it. They also do zoning mostly at the federal level, meaning local opposition isn't relevant.

I use them like bookmarks.

On a free Google plan the limits are comically low. On any paid One plan, they are high enough that I almost never hit them.

I tried the same, got a similar response, and complained to the AG. Nothing.

I think Antigravity w/Gemini is a great product; it's been super useful on a bunch of my hobby projects. It's especially wonderful when writing firmware and needing to add support …

I absolutely hate it. If you haven't heard a complaint about it, you haven't tried hard enough to get feedback. There is no context which makes it OK.

Scraping is almost always for obscurity to try and impede cloning. I don't really know why folks bother; it's not effective. Especially with LLMs, it's never been easier to vaguely…

It's been many years since I implemented G.Hn hardware, but if memory serves the chipsets are typically able to split the available bandwidth into 1 or 2 MHz wide bins and choose d…

I want to avoid having a Google Search bar on my desktop, no gestures, no AI mode, no voice mode, etc. Is there a launcher for me?

It's coming up at the Los Altos Hills city council meeting next week. I would love to know what I should say to try and let our contract expire.

I'm really hoping that the Linux gaming folks keep making progress on Windows-on-Linux compatibility so that I can transparently and with zero-fussing run any arbitrary Windows app…

A note to other folks. Don't bother asking customer service about this. They want you to record videos, as if that's a productive use of your time or required to support a product.…

I dislike them not so much in my home area but everywhere else where I have no idea what I'm doing and worry that I'm going to come home to a ton of envelopes full of enormous fine…

Thanks, I'll do that! I figured I've had the machine for a while and it was unlikely to be covered by warranty, so I didn't consider reaching out to support. Instead I assumed I'd …

The actual touch part of the FW touchpad, including tap to click, works just fine. I might be a weirdo for liking mechanical click for dragging (and I dislike the Macbook tactile f…

I got a couple of type-A cards for my AMD FW13 and generally keep one loaded in the laptop for connecting to random junk like flash drives, charging cables for all sorts of widgets…

I find it amazing that even with the redistribution subsidy, the resulting electricity is still more expensive than the national average unsubsidized rate. We are just so incredibl…

When I had a solar-charged EV, taking transit to SF only made sense if I was going by myself and didn't need to do any transfers. Any additional people or modes and it was always b…

And this exact method is how we got minimum lot sizes, setbacks, FAR, and a burgeoning affordability and homelessness crisis. It's a blank check.

Ultimately the California Legislature and the CPUC (and therefore the governor who appoints them) are at-fault for rates. PG&E is a regulated monopoly, and in-theory the regulators…
