other_herbert··on Would You Take Out a Loan for a Pair of Jeans? (2017)
I like you, pay off mine at the end of the month... It seems the percentage of people who do that is around 40%... which seems maybe high...

ALso don't forget, credit card companies charge at least 1.5% of a fee to the retailer, this is why some places (usually gas stations) will have a cash price and a card price...

But yeah... lots of the perks are paid for by the rest of people who aren't paying off the balance...

other_herbert··on E Ink Gallery 3
Yeah but newspaper refresh rates are terrible…
other_herbert··on Ask HN: Why aren't devs making desktop apps any more?
I’m making one as an internal tool to help our manual testers use playwright… and I’m using avalonia just because I want to make this thing multi platform… so far I’m impressed
other_herbert··on Pull Request File Tree Feedback
Just wait till you hit . On your keyboard
other_herbert··on Why Apple’s iMessage is winning: teens dread the green text bubble
Yeah but if you see blue you have way more confidence that you are talking to a real person…
other_herbert··on German car that was super-aerodynamic but impractical
Yes… manual everything… brakes, steering, transmission and a suspension system that would barely be passable for a trailer now
other_herbert··on Tesla pulled its latest ‘Full Self Driving’ beta after testers complained
We just found out
other_herbert··on .NET Hot Reload Support via CLI
I'll add my 0.02$ for rider too.. it even works (in EAP) for m1 arm... I do use vs code and rider depending on if I'm debugging something on the server or need to save the small amount of ram I've got on my air for debugging in the browser.. but m1 Rider is FAST.. far faster than even rider in linux on my xps with 32gb of ram
other_herbert··on Apple’s new M1 Pro and M1 Max processors
Yes and dotnet 6 (release date scheduled for 11/9, but is available now as rc2) works natively on the m1... REALLY quickly I might add :)...

I go between vs.code and JetBrains Rider (rider now has an EAP that runs natively on the m1)...

I am going to upgrade just because I didn't get enough ram the first time around :)

other_herbert··on MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Pro 16-inch
same for my m1 air! :D... but then I remembered that apple does trade ins! :D
other_herbert··on Why NoSQL
IndexedDB for the client, web workers to check that things are in sync and events for when things aren’t.. best of both worlds
other_herbert··on I Am Not Satoshi Nakamoto
LOL my wife has this past year started keeping bees “keeping” they aren’t kept you are just lucky they like to live in boxes you provide… anyway this resonates with me because if you do things that alarm a few of them (thousand) they gradually alert the rest … that can really make you reconsider any action you take after that point
other_herbert··on The effects of remote work on collaboration among information workers
I think it can be similar to having your company support slack channel open.. not necessarily subscribed but seeing the issues that customers come to your support staff with… that can provide surprising clarity… maybe product owners should be focused on that sort of thing and maybe this highlights issues with where I am…
other_herbert··on Is it time to ditch the design grid?
Everyone, this is _not_ about css grid, this is about the design language typically used to describe the way content people think of the web
other_herbert··on Ask HN: What is the most bloated website you use
Adobe XD for designs/ wireframes... Jira is small in comparison
other_herbert··on LA pays $2600 per homeless tent, per month
Sounds like LA just advertised themselves as pretty high on the list
other_herbert··on The Suez Canal will be widened
I think most people would call that “the middle of nowhere” or out in the boonies... or it could be a new area that is growing.. 15 miles from groceries is too far to be called a suburb
other_herbert··on Benchmarking division and libdivide on Apple M1 and Intel AVX512
Just another to pile on, my 8gb m1 mba has made me stop using my xps 15 with 32gb of ram... that sounds maybe like a storage issue? yeah take it back!!
other_herbert··on Indestructible light waves travel through opaque material as if it isn’t there
Right... it should also not interact with anything you’d be interested in seeing too...
other_herbert··on Ask HN: How Long Is Your CI Process?
It’s really down to goals... you should have something that triggers based on open pull requests and does a sanity check and ideally deployed to a test environment... that should be “quick” to give feedback in addition to reviews...

Then in the main build that hopefully is deploying to a qa environment that can do more testing, bundle artifacts for whatever dependencies need them, all that kind of stuff...

That’s how ours is set up... we use Jenkins with parallel parts where possible (like build the ui while tests that hit the db are run) it’s a process that takes time to get right and time to optimize...

We’re at about 5 mins for the quick part and 8 or so for the slower part

Both of those will probably get worse as we are planning to include full ui testing on the deployed environment too

other_herbert··on Two people killed in fiery Tesla crash with no one driving
lol or to your local tire storage facility.. oil refinery... nuclear power plant... lumber yard with thousands of cut trees waiting for processing... paper mill... there’s lots of good options to pick from
other_herbert··on Apple’s M1 processor and the full 128-bit integer product
Anecdotal but keeper and the built in keychain are instant ish at least not slow enough to notice
other_herbert··on Analysis: Texas power outage leaves officials working political angles
I’ve gone tankless and have a gas tankless water heater on a battery backup and I can also power it from a generator if needed... so from the battery I get around 90 mins of usage... highly recommended
other_herbert··on Barcode scanner app on Google Play infects 10M users with one update
Try your plain camera... this seems like such a hidden anti-feature though... no one I know has tried just the camera
other_herbert··on Dissecting the Apple M1 GPU, Part II
I’ve had my m1 air for a few weeks now and going back to the trackpad on my Dell XP’s 15 feels like the stone ages... it’s amazing... and safari on the Mac even makes Jenkins and Jira fast...
other_herbert··on Chipmaking Is Being Redesigned
I think I remember reading that auto parts included in the original vehicle have a minimum designed life of 10 years.. that includes the radio and related display components
other_herbert··on AMD Launches Ryzen 5000 Mobile: Zen 3 and Cezanne for Notebooks
Now you have to also make sure the 2nd digit is even... I feel like this has happened in the past, the odd / even signified a different architecture.. don't remember if it was Intel or Amd though
other_herbert··on PeerJS – Simple peer-to-peer with WebRTC
That's where the signaling comes in, the "caller" generates an "offer" and this has to be relayed to the other end(s). from there, the clients take that and generate an answer that links the two.... the offer / answers include all of the ip info the machine can generate, but on a nat network that's really just only as far as your local gateway, your ipv6 addresses, etc...

you need a STUN server to add in the parts that would include your external ip... that's really all stun does is some service further up the network to give a more reachable address..

other_herbert··on Show HN: Pluto – macOS system monitor app
Very nice :) I just bought it, this is a lot nicer to have around than switching back to the activity monitor.. I just recently got an m1 Mac air and since it's fanless and makes no obvious outside indication that something is busy it's hard to tell what's going on.
other_herbert··on Comic Mono
look at “Annika” it’s designed to be legible for early readers

Edit: not that comic sans is a bad choice I’ve just been working on things related to this and found that other font
