I love not having to think or talk about work when I go outside.

If some one asks what I do they'll say "that's neat, must be nice to work from home!" and that's the end of the conversation, we can talk about hobbies or something else instead.

If your remote is publicly accessible (GitHub or not) anyone could have cloned it while the sensitive data was there and no magic command will make that go away

Everyone should freeze their credit by default, it's very easy to unfreeze when you actually need to apply for something.

It really just depends on your local distribution hubs. My semi rural address regularly gets serviced by two different FedEx hubs, if I see it go to X hub I'll get it that day, but if it goes to Y hub it'll most likely be late.

How do they lock customers in? There are plenty of messaging apps from other tech conglomerates, that no one chose to use alternatives in the U.S. is not Apple's problem. The market spoke.

Throwing away a brand almost everyone has heard of and verbs that have become common in spoken language because you own x.com is just incredibly stupid stuff. The guy is surrounded by yes men.

This is the inherent flaw of decentralized networks.

You either appeal to people who really care about decentralization (an extremely small group) or you're not really decentralized.

It has physical controls to let you develop muscle memory

I also disable most highlighting. I find it terribly distracting when coding or doing other menial stuff, my exceptions are greping or diffing, but those only use 1-2 colors

what point are you actually trying to make?

just because schools and the "government" exist doesn't free you from educating or taking care of your kid outside of those contexts. learn to be a parent

ag machinery has generational life spans, they aren't laptops or even lawn mowers.

would you buy the from the start up who pinky promises to always let you repair it, or the incumbent who is annoying to work with but has existed your entire life and will after you die?

> people are producing more resources per value with their work than ever before and its only increasing

"Number has never gone down, therefor number will always go up" is an incredibly naive argument

that's arguably a good thing

> requires ample garage space and a solid investment in tools and equipment

Not really although it definitely helps. I started working on cars in a garage that barely fit a Miata with a basic set of wrenches and sockets piled up in the corner. I think you'd find that's how a lot of people start out in this hobby.

Specialty tools can be rented from auto part stores in the US or you can buy them relatively cheaply from Amazon or Harbor Freight.

I assumed he meant driving on the F roads

A higher bit rate lets you digitally process audio without introducing artifacts. It's very common to record, mix, and master audio at 192/24 and even oversample well above 192k.

It has nothing to do with snake oil or hearing things above 22k it's about not introducing aliasing and other digital artifacts, and on highly dynamic content like classical can definitely be heard in the audible spectrum.

In what city is it illegal to ride a bike?

Yea the authors conclusion is flawed. If I enter an emoji and a different one appears I'm just going to assume your website is broken. Safari is in the right here.

I've never dealt with or owned a Lenovo but it sounds like they're also good based on others replies.

Do you have to pay extra or have a business plan with Lenovo to get that service tho?

Apple's customer service is really unrivaled in the computer repair space. I had a similar experience with my MacBook Pro in the past, my display stopped working, dropped it off at a store and picked it up a couple days later. They had replaced basically the entire laptop sans the plate on the bottom.

Tried getting HP to fix a monitor with a defective port and was going to have to ship it to them at my own cost with no estimates of the repair time or cost. I just went out and bought a Samsung.

If you have the time and knowledge to repair your own computers like the author it can be a fun hobby, I also have two custom built PCs, but I don't do work on them for a reason.

We aren't in a recession

A lot of these suggestions sound needlessly complex but I'm probably just getting old.

I'd say either CGI scripts, PHP, or Ruby and sqlite as a DB, all hosted on a single VPS. That'll get you plenty far and be easy to grow out of.

Trends in paint are fun. Flat colors were last really common in the 90's, which is retro cool in its own way now, although then it was generally done with single stage paint and the gloss/wet look came from the occasional polish and wax, not a clear coat. Metallics have been the more popular choice for a couple decades now, with flats usually being reserved for base models and usually only in white or black.

I think it's cool to see flat colors return.

I previously had little issue with the fees because I assumed they went back to the parks due to the .gov domain. Now that I know it's just a private 3rd party collecting them and our parks and public lands are still underfunded is infuriating.

Twitter already changed the world a decade ago, all someone would be doing at this point is maybe helping them not file for bankruptcy. But if someone really wants a job with zero security in this economy they should go for it!

NYTimes used to have a similar mobile subdomain you could browse on desktop too, it was great. It wasn't strictly text only but made reading the content a much nicer experience.

And this app is more discoverable? Those shortcuts also work in any text field in MacOS, they aren't proprietary to just a terminal.

A lot of those complaints are non issues with the default terminal in MacOS.

Option + mouse click moves the cursor to where ever, control+a|e move to the beginning or end of the line, option+arrow jumps words, and the arrows navigate up and down lines just fine... What am I missing?

And how are you going to report them if you can't read the plate?

Automakers are measured by units sold and Tesla ranks very low on that list.

When Toyota sells 10 million cars a year it's not news, they have basically reached peak growth. Tesla's valuation is higher because they keep selling more cars and still have room for growth (and because of Elon Musk himself).
