  • TLDR: the problem isn't using base 2 multipliers. The problem is doing so then saying it's a base 10 number

    In 1998 when the problem was solved it wasn't a big deal, but now the difference between a gigabyte and a gibibyte is large enough to cause problems

  • But on packaging of a disc it's misleading when they say gigabytes but mean gibibytes. These are technical terms with specific meaning. Kilo— means a factor of 1000, not "1000 within a couple of sig figs"

  • The only sub I still go there for is /r/zerocarb (a low carb diet sub), and that's now mostly deleted comments and posts. With the moderation tools unavailable on mobile the mods have made automod very strict. Heaven help a person new to the diet, they'll have a hard time asking their questions

  • Subs I followed (and still rarely visit) became much harsher with moderation, to the point of being very difficult for new visitors to use; in a sub that is mostly for helping people adopt a very low carb diet

  • Sure you lose everything from the dying instance. Everything is temporary. I lost so much karma leaving Reddit, but it's all nothing, especially here where you can post and comment at any karma

    If you're worried about losing your posts, back up better

  • In practice though Tesla has buttons for the controls you need while driving.

    Cruise control/lane keeping/cancel is a lever

    Indicators, flash high beams is a lever

    Park is a button

    Windscreen wiper single wipe is a button, same button is window wash

    Set speed is a scroll wheel, volume is a scroll wheel (and a touch control on the passenger side)

    Navigation is on screen keyboard, but you should stop to change navigation, or have a passenger do it

    Climate control heats or cools towards your target temperature, heated seats and steering wheel are automatic or touch screen, but you know you need them before you get in the car

    What more would you want physical controls for?

  • This is research from before the API changes. Loads of astroturf efforts were easy to notice, there must have been more subtle ones.

    I always wonder whether the famous post about vacuum cleaners was paid for by the company he recommended. If it was, they got their money's worth - that redditor was convincing.

  • Seriously? Art, fishing, playing cards with friends, travelling the world, visiting galleries and museums

    Though there's a little truth in the saying idle hands are the devil's tools. There would be more vandalism too.
