  • What's with those people?

    Jump

  • I looked it up to see if they provide reasoning for it, and discovered that they've removed the language about where to cruise (at least I couldn't easily find it) since I took the test years ago, but they're kind of saying it between the lines:

    Here are some tips for choosing a lane:

    Use the left lane to pass or turn left. Use the right lane to enter or exit traffic or when you enter the road from a curb or shoulder.

    Sidenote: In my experience, on/off ramps in California are ridiculously short, often with low visibility until you're on it, so they're kind of relying on the right lane not being all that crowded.

  • The California DMV handbook literally tells you to do that. If there's three lanes, cruise in the middle lane. If there's two lanes, cruise in the right lane. I don't think it's a requirement, but it is the official recommendation in California.

  • The job was to do as much damage to the government as possible.

  • After Threats Throughout NYC Campaign, Trump Lauds Mamdani at White House

    Jump

  • Mamdani has charisma, and Trump is extremely easy to manipulate. He usually parrots the last person he talks to.

  • Docker does a lot of mumbo jumbo with the disk, I'm guessing that's why. Start a container with a host folder mapped in and do something moderately IO-intensive, like clone a large-ish git repo, and you will notice it's a lot slower than bare metal. I'm guessing this is because docker uses union file systems heavily, and that adds IO overhead. You'd probably get more or less equivalent performance to bare metal if all you did was set up a simpler form of container which just configured some namespaces.

    TL;DR: Containers are fast, docker specifically does extra stuff which is slow.

  • 'Rebellion!' Stephen Miller flips out after Dems tell troops to 'refuse illegal orders'

  • They do that deliberately. You see that a lot among Republicans. I assume it's similar motivations as when they say the US is "a republic, not a democracy". Apparently it irks them that they have democracy in the name.

  • Grossest president so far

  • On a 2025 Tesla? Quit your bullshit rule.

    Jump

  • The original concept was a train in a vacuum tube. There are massive challenges with maintaining the vacuum, especially when letting passengers on and off, so it's quite unrealistic. But eliminating air resistance would be cool in theory.

  • Same deal there. Back then the Boring Company seemed misguided, later it was shown to be actually malicious.

  • I see that, but resale values have probably tanked, and not everyone has the disposable income to just switch cars whenever they want.

  • I disliked him before that, but that was more like "he overworks his employees and there's lots of injuries because he prioritizes aesthetics over safety in his factories", not like "he's a full blown nazi".

    Back then you could convince yourself the end justifies the means, but one could no longer justify that stance after his Twitter addiction fully took hold. Which was around the time he called that cave diver a pedo.

  • Open Source Developers Are Exhausted, Unpaid, and Ready to Walk Away

    Jump

  • I have a job like that, but I also have kids, so...

  • Where to make local friends?

    Jump

  • If there's an activity or skill you've been wanting to get into, you could try taking a class in that. You'll meet some other people at your approximate skill level, and it's an opportunity to socialize.

    I've personally met a lot of people through climbing gyms and dance classes, both activities where you're often paired up with one other person. Bouldering is great for smalltalk as well, because people are often eager to discuss approaches to the problem.

    Not everyone's cup of tea, but I've also met some friends through work colleagues. A colleague of mine was going hiking with friends and invited me along, and since the friends didn't work in the same company as us it felt disconnected enough from work for me at least.

  • An upvote is to spread awareness. It doesn't necessarily mean you like the message.

  • Windows boss defends AI push as users plead for reliability

  • "Make a slightly inferior copy and undercut the competition" has been their mode of operation since Day 1, so that shouldn't really surprise me.

  • Top Democrat accuses Trump of ‘panicking’ after U-turn on Epstein files vote

    Jump

  • He hasn't changed his mind. He's switched from refusing to release the files to refusing to release the files with extra steps.

    At the same time he said he wants to release the files, he also ordered additional investigations. Because of course he wanted to release the files, but unfortunately they're part of an ongoing investigation.

  • MS doesn't even care about Windows anymore. All the money is in XBox and their various cloud services, including Office 365.

  • Thanks. Now I can't either.

  • It's the tiny face. After all the tiny face memes I don't even know how his actual face looked.

  • What is the highest level of mathematics that should be expected to graduate high school?

    Jump

  • As a Norwegian, focusing on one kind of math per year sounds absolutely bizarre. We did a bit of everything every year in the 90s at least, and I doubt it's changed. How do you not forget everything if you learn it one year just to not touch it again for years?

    In college each group of subjects have a separate class, but doing that in high school sounds nuts.
