cplusplusfellow··on Super Mario Bros warp zones were intended to work slightly differently [video]
But how else would we make $300k a year on YouTube?
cplusplusfellow··on Monkeypox outbreak in U.S. is bigger than the CDC reports. Testing is 'abysmal'
Is this another virus that you can contract but never know you have it?
cplusplusfellow··on What happened to giant hovercraft? [video]
Interesting that you stereotyped him that way.
cplusplusfellow··on What changed from Justice Alito’s draft opinion to final ruling on Roe
While I disagree with overturning Roe, he makes solid arguments.
cplusplusfellow··on Bitcoin drops below $20k, Ether cracks $1k – what this means
> Nasty dictatorships like North Korea or Putinistan constantly scam and hack the cryptocurrency ecosystem to siphon off money to fund their regimes.

Do you have any evidence of which chains this happened to?

cplusplusfellow··on Big water cutbacks ordered amid Colorado River shortage
We don’t need to pump the water to lake Powell. We let Powell refill itself and use the water instead on level ground in California.
cplusplusfellow··on Big water cutbacks ordered amid Colorado River shortage
If only people understood this concept. In my home town city council are bickering about whether to allow additional density to be build on already commercially zoned lots based on whether they force 10 or 12% if the units to be “affordable.”

They are bickering over whether 40 units of a building might have a net decreased rent of $200 a month and instead may get 0 units built instead of 400. The 400 units would likely reduce the rent in the area by more than $200.

Create abundance and then let the market set the price and be happy.

cplusplusfellow··on Gas stoves are more hazardous than we’ve been led to believe (2020)
Did you miss this part?

cplusplusfellow··on Gas stoves are more hazardous than we’ve been led to believe (2020)
Poor construction of pipes in exterior walls with degraded insulation.
cplusplusfellow··on Gas stoves are more hazardous than we’ve been led to believe (2020)
Do you also have a gas stove? I’ve lived in lots of places that have unvented blowers but none of them had gas. Would be against code in almost every city in America.
cplusplusfellow··on The term ‘Viking’ as it is commonly used is misleading
Even better when you can write an article that essentially says : “what you think you know about the word "viking" is racist”
cplusplusfellow··on $5 gas could become widespread as prices hit another record
Don’t forget that transmission is a huge component of electricity cost and only going to increase with congestion and inflation.
cplusplusfellow··on $5 gas could become widespread as prices hit another record
It’s also harmful to farmers and people who have to drive farther because they can’t afford condos downtown.
cplusplusfellow··on Bad government policy is fueling the infant formula shortage
It’s worth noting that Abbot claims to have sequenced the bacteria and disputes the claim that their facility caused the infant deaths.
cplusplusfellow··on Homes in 97% of U.S. cities are overvalued, Moody's says
I’m sorry but respectfully, literally none of this will effect the outcomes you desire. You will assuredly constrain supply and decrease vendors to produce new supply.
cplusplusfellow··on Google is 2B lines of code and it's all in one place (2015)
Where is this extra code coming from? Do they do an immense amount of code generation?
cplusplusfellow··on Never hose out a Honda Element
Mine was an 03, hatchback model. Very fun to drive and the stick shift was on the dashboard basically.

I only wish I had spent more time driving it more interesting places, instead of to work in that wretched city.

cplusplusfellow··on Mexico truckers protest new Texas inspections, halt trade at border bridges
Or is it political grandstanding to repeal title 42?
cplusplusfellow··on Mexico truckers protest new Texas inspections, halt trade at border bridges
What does that have to do with illegal immigration and drug trafficking?

I’m personally impacted by the shipment delays. I currently await more than $250,000 worth of product ordered from Mexico, so questioning my motives with false equivalencies isn’t going to get anywhere.

cplusplusfellow··on Never hose out a Honda Element
In 2003/2004, when the Element was initially marketed to the US market, I specifically recall seeing ads that indicated I could do such. Nearly bought one for that reason. Bought a Civic SI instead.
cplusplusfellow··on Mexico truckers protest new Texas inspections, halt trade at border bridges
Exactly this.
cplusplusfellow··on Mexico truckers protest new Texas inspections, halt trade at border bridges
I can tell you that I personally know multiple people who routinely make trips to the border to pick up immigrants and/or drugs.

I care.

cplusplusfellow··on An Account of the Shanghai Lockdown
I respectfully disagree. Early into the pandemic there were quite a few folks writing of evidence that massive amounts of Chinese were dying. They were quickly silenced.
cplusplusfellow··on People who press on cookie banners anything except “agree” – why do you do that?
It’s an absolute pity that the legislature didn’t require : deny everything : remember my selection : if the same analytics package exists on other sites, remember my g’d selection
cplusplusfellow··on Young women earn more than young men in several U.S. cities
It’s not normalized for any of the factors that actually determine wages earned by any worker of any gender.

So therefore the number is virtually useless, except to identify aggregate level choices made by men and women.

cplusplusfellow··on Alright, amigo, let's build some affordable housing
Yes, and Golang but I’m wanting to get into Rust soon.
cplusplusfellow··on Alright, amigo, let's build some affordable housing
We build with concrete and steel and 2x6 walls.

We use spray foam insulation and good materials for flooring and trim that won’t wear out tomorrow.

We build for about the same as it would cost to take an existing house; demo out all the stuff that doesn’t meet code, make it meet code, then put back all the good materials that won’t wear out tomorrow.

Trust me your big line items are still there when you refurbish something to meet codes; and governments aren’t going to fund projects that don’t meet code. That is before you even get to the discussion of what people actually want their finishes to be.

cplusplusfellow··on Alright, amigo, let's build some affordable housing
Can you elaborate what kind of house this is for 40k?

What is your location?

cplusplusfellow··on Alright, amigo, let's build some affordable housing
Do you have much experience with construction? I own a construction company ($10m-20m annual revenue) as my side hustle.

It’s generally speaking not cheaper to refurbish something once you consider all of the factors. I’m on mobile so I can’t enumerate those but I’ll try to return on desktop where I can properly type and give an overview.

cplusplusfellow··on Ask HN: Why hasn't web dev evolved to be like mobile/desktop app dev yet?
A drag and drop builder would certainly lower the barrier to entry for those of us not [necessarily wanting to be] familiar with every single detail of how CSS / HTML / JavaScript work.

We just want a pretty app to demonstrate our backend.
