The word has not changed that much in common use (as far as it gets common at all). Ricing your car still has derogatory undertones, and even if you aren't aware, it still has racist undertones as well if you think about it at all. Just because you aren't aware if it doesn't mean the affected people aren't. If you said ricing in this context around me, I'd assume you're ignorant at best, and deliberately racist and trying to offend me at worst

As an Asian American, I assure you this is offensive to me. This is not a word that has shifted in the common vernacular here to mean anything that doesn't still have a strong base in its racist roots. For example, ricing your car still has derogatory undertones.

Asian American. It's offensive. I probably won't say anything, but I will look at you funny and assume you're ignorant at best.

No, what's the point of a two layered kitchen in rimworld? It's been a while, though I think I do remember starting to integrate a kitchen into the fridge/freezer airlock area at some point.

A secondary "dirty" kitchen for butchering and so on, designed to be hosed down for cleaning. It would also probably have a walk in freezer, and that probably counts on its own.

... I don't know what you mean that beyond a certain length it's impractical. I keep 6-10ft USB C cables everywhere. I view 3 feet as the minimum useful length to me, at least because honestly much shorter than I don't even have a place to rest my phone while it charges. I was looking at even getting a 15-20 foot cable for my living room since all my outlets are kinda far from the couch.

6TB SSD, ~90TB HDD (actually ~120, but the rest is parity).

Photo editing storage gets intense when modern cameras are taking lossless RAW images at 20fps. Video editing storage is honestly just insane to begin with.

Games are a few hundred GB on the SSDs

It doesn't work that well around here, cause there's inevitably that one car that refuses to go faster than the rest of the traffic that it's separated from. Or slows down to 10mph when the rest of the highway is stop and go, despite there being a barrier. Then someone gets rear ended because no one was expecting the lane to be going 10mph (and were on their phone), and the accident closes down the lane entirely

Basically, by me, the HOV lane is slower than traffic 90% of the time. Even in stop and go, because that lane is actually the one containing the accident causing the traffic.

Compression algorithms generally rely on sensing patterns in the data to allow you to store just one example of that data and where it repeats, instead of storing it all fully. This is extremely visible in H264 and H265 for video, where the first is easily 1% the size of the raw video data, and the second is easily 1/10th the size of that, since it can detect more patterns to compress.

White noise means your mp3 is basically the size of the uncompressed data, instead of being 5-25% that size (stat from Wikipedia on compression ratio of mp3). This costs Spotify more for storage and streaming bandwidth.

5. Adobe software. Honestly they work, and work well.

No matter what you drive, it's still not hard to be better than all the people who stall traffic because they don't realize they can squeeze through a gap about 4 feet wider than their car so we can actually pre fill the turn lane while the light's red.

Nor is it hard to actually know to accelerate smoothly through a turn instead of braking through it.

Or to know how to just stay in your clearly marked turn lane during your turn (literally marked through the entire intersection) instead of cutting off the other two turn lanes (this happened to me yesterday).

None of these things are actually much harder to do in a large car than a sports car, just obviously your actual speed and acceleration should change based on your car, tires, and everything else. I use the same principles I use when driving a fun car to help drive safely when it's a minivan.

Last year a company I wowed at the first interview didn't follow up. When I asked why, they said that since Facebook was slowing hiring, they were too.

They're not even related businesses other than both broadly being tech companies.

If we had 3.2% inflation in the month of July alone, I'd prefer not to see 45.9% inflation over the next year.

Edit: reading more comments (and still not the article) it looks like this is a rise from last July, so yearly. In which case yeah, it's not 2%, but it's not super alarming either.

4 injuries now, but the end is in sight!

I had a very awkward moment when I was talking about how intelligent octopus obviously are, and looked down and remembered I was in the middle of eating takoyaki 😓. I just want lab grown meat ASAP.

I'll go ahead and say that I'm using a MoCA connection to my main PC, and have no complaints about it at all. It's the 2.5Gbps by ScreenBeam.

Not sure how exactly that works with the daisy chain, but brief reading seems to indicate that it should be fine to add a MoCA endpoint in each room, unless you wanna just rewire the upstairs with a single switch and Ethernet cables to each room up there, assuming you have room to run all the cables in the upstairs only.

I'm about 3 injuries into making Rex Kreuger's roman workbench. Then we can use that to tech tree up and continuously make nicer workshop stuff.

I specifically buy cables with different colors or from different brands as I upgrade, and keep a note around for what their PD capacity is for each set. It's annoying, but doable.

TechDirt is adding additional information that the Reason article didn't have, including some facts in addition to the commentary.
