As an Arizona resident, by recent Honda CRV's clock is off by an hour for half the year. Since usually the carplay display overrides the clock, it's no big deal, but it cracks me up that, despite being a professional programmer, I have yet to figure out how to set it correctly

Re:Kalshi to allow trading on borrowed funds on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @12:24AM (#49811622)
I don't really get how people are getting busted for insider trading on these platforms. Sure, it's a TOS violation, but it's not like these are SEC regulated markets... I guess I'd just assume that all the smart money was always insiders

Re:America's Big Cities Are Rapidly Losing Kids on Monday July 27, 2026 @10:20AM (#49070099)
During the pandemic, my neighborhood in Scottsdale saw a huge increase of families with kids moving from Chicago / Seattle / SF. Remote workers, etc... We've got good public school / parks / places to roam, at the time represented a huge bargain in home pricing.

(Anecdotal but reflected by a rapid increase in home values that came with that.)

Re:JWT is a scam and your app doesn't need it on Saturday May 23, 2026 @02:34PM (#48250040)
Yeah... but you can't just move a session across a heterogeneous set of servers with different backends, etc... Maybe some of your APIs are on one platform, the apps themselves on another. There are several libs that can help you do that.
Re:JWT is a scam and your app doesn't need it on Saturday May 23, 2026 @02:13PM (#48249842)
Eh. JWTs are super handy if you have a single web experience spread across multiple backend apps on the same domain, with a single SSO server to set up the user auth. Definitely not for storing anything sensitive, but treating it like a fancy session cookie with the minimal amount one needs to securely access resources - customerId or whatever - makes life a lot easier than trying to wire up cookie / session management across a lot of different, disparate apps.
I think it means - we're spending more money on AI thus we don't have as much to spend on people

Don't worry - I'm sure the people he hires will be super super competent, like the rest of the folks he's hired to run departments and whatnot

Fascinating story... This was covered on the GoneSouth podcast as well:

I assume this is following the podcast -> (new yorker / atlantic) article -> netflix doc pipeline. In a good way.

Re:Delivery Is Killing Restaurant Culture on Tuesday October 28, 2025 @01:32PM (#45735990)
I definitely see a steady stream of Dashers come into the coffee shops I work out of... I'm still sort of shocked at how many people use these services, given how expensive they are: "More than half of adults under 45 use delivery at least once a week, and 13 percent use it once a day. Five percent use it multiple times a day. But the delivery boom isn’t confined to young people or to urbanites: About one in eight Baby Boomers uses delivery once a week, and so does about one in five rural dwellers."
