I'm the opposite. I can't use a non-RPN calculator. Getting the numbers out of my head and onto the stack is how I achieve clarity in what I'm doing.

I used the 49 in high school until I wore out the substandard keyboard. Then I did what I should have in the first place and bought a 48GX which I still have 20+ years later.

Those episodes are really fun and always result in me eating more beans!

I highly recommend anything he works on.

[AI driven] data center power consumption is real and as of right now, it seems like other consumers are subsidizing it.

Also enjoyed the keyboards (with control where caps lock "normally" is)...

Which has its own sort of funny subculture. One is Phish fans unexpectedly hearing what was decidedly not publicly common music being aired on the Weather Channel: https://jambands.com/features/2002/07/24/guyute-and-your-loc...

Fast forward 20ish years and a similar thing happened with Fox Sports interludes: https://www.si.com/nfl/2020/12/17/fox-producer-who-got-the-n...

And I say this as someone who considered trying out the project.

Vacuum tubes are still made. They’re used extensively in instrument amplification.

But I think this bolsters your point!

If there were an actual strategy, exceptions would have been clear from the start.

Given the amount of stupid things that end up on this site, this is asinine.

I don't understand why anyone would ever attempt to do this. Was it truly the only option?

Yes, turns out running overlay/VPN type things disrupts traffic patterns. This is a non-story.

But we're talking about using wireguard on a local network, so the actual interesting question is: why does it cause the performance to plummet? Is it an implementation issue or something more fundamental?

I expect some performance impact. I don't expect a three orders of magnitude impact (which is what 355 KB/s imputes).

It's why I like wood. You don't need to baby it, and if it breaks down, you throw it out and it returns to the earth.

Bingo. This is exactly where it scares me, particularly when I'm already in an intersection.

> I've pretty much just made it a reflex to hit the turn-off button when I turn on the car. At least it's easy once a reflex.

My daily driver is old enough not to have auto stop/start. My problem is my wife's vehicle has it. She instinctively turns it off as soon as she's in the vehicle. Because I only drive her vehicle sporadically, I don't have the muscle memory to do that, so it inevitably catches me by surprise.

Sad that this is what it's come to, but here we are.

I was considering purchasing a Honda recently, and this was one of the things I investigated. Like you, I consider the hesitation imposed by this mechanism to be annoying, and in addition, dangerous.
