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.

probably downvoted because it doesn't really add to the conversation.

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.

A lot of evidence, but no claim.

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.

disclaimer: I know nothing about this stuff.

> This area is separate from the subduction zone

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.

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.

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.

ramenmeal — Thu, 25 Jan 2024 01:34:33 +0000

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?

sorry, no experience with 1password

New comment by ramenmeal in "Bitwarden adds support for passkeys"

ramenmeal — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 19:34:35 +0000

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.

I had the same question. I assume this was to test if the following experience was based on real events, or imagined.

> “I was high up in the ceiling of the ward looking down upon the bed.” “I could see the doctors and nurses working over me.” “I perceived and saw everything around me, like in 360 degrees.”

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

Streaming 1080p/60fps up to 20km wirelessly is mind boggling to me. What kind of tech is used to make that happen? seems like it'd require a lot of power.

I'd be willing to bet the vast majority of consumers do not buy name brand cables.

New comment by ramenmeal in "They did not do surgery on a banana over 5G"

ramenmeal — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 21:00:54 +0000

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?
