Figured this deserved it's own thread. The original has really poor siri performance, so this is welcomed from my perspective!

Java and C# have way to much baggage to compare them to Go. They nearly look like different languages depending on the version you're using.

Re:After decades, FDA moves to pull ineffective decongestant off shelves
on Thursday November 07, 2024 @10:38PM (#42083888)
Does anyone else feel like dayquil is an effective decongestant? I do. I can literally feel the gunk running down from my sinuses to the back of my throat when I take it. Confusing to me cause it's phenylephrine, which is what the article states is ineffective. I've had this experience after reading these reports about a year ago.

From what I hear, it's a nightmare to get Siri to know what light you want to turn on. Unfortunately it seems like apple is trailing the pack in the smart home area.

150 miles off the coast doesn't sound that far from the subduction zone. Seems hard to believe there wouldn't be some tectonic relationship between the areas.
Re:Are US EV sales a disaster or a booming segment? The answer may be ...
on Thursday February 29, 2024 @03:54PM (#39554912)
Honest question, tires, or brakes? I was under the impression brake dust was the worst polluter. I'm sure tires aren't great either, but they should be equivalent between EV's and ICE cars. Brakes last significantly longer on EV's and therefore would help with pollution.

> note that gofmt doesn't indent, which is the hard part
interesting because for me it's hard to read changelogs of js/ts based repos that are using prettier compared to go repos, I wonder if the indentation is a reason for that. I'm honestly not sure what the author means by that either, gofmt seems to fix indentation for me.
Re:FCC rules AI-generated voices in robocalls illegal

I think "SHAKEN/STIR" is supposed to fix this long term. I'm not sure why it's taking so long, but I believe phones will already indicate if the phone call has a verified caller id. Probably next step is to just block any non-verified caller. I'm assuming there's just a lot of migration work to happen.

This is making the news since it's another Boeing issue, but it seems like any issue with a 757 at this point would be from improper maintenance, right?

Re:Bitwarden Adds Support for Passkeys

I moved over from Lastpass, I find the experience of filling in a password in Bitwarden more jarring/slow than in Lastpass. I'm not sure what it is, maybe Lastpass had longer timeouts to require FaceID when filling a password? Bitwarden requires it every time.

Honest question, why not use another technology to store the state between the two? Like a DB or queuing mechanism.

What is the difference from using OpenLLMetry versus using OTel directly? Is the issue that there aren't conventions for the needed attributes?

Re:They did not do surgery on a banana over 5G

Even if this "surgery" took place in California, and the "surgeon" was the UK, and 5G was involved, wouldn't it still via fiber? I feel like I'm missing something with these claims, are they saying they'll use 5g at the nodes, instead of some other wireless tech?

We spin up a docker container running the DB technology we use, run our DB migration scripts on it, and then run integration tests against it. You get coverage of your migration scripts this way too.
Re:Death by Vegetable Oil

I've never seen poop included in the "calories in, calories out" diet talk, which seems strange. The argument for it is it's a 0 sum game, but they never mention poop as part of the equation. There seems to be an assumption that all food is absorbed at the same rate and across all people. Seems unlikely to me.
