If you're talking about the US Landcruiser it's actually what we know as a Prado over here in Australia. My dream midlife crisis vehicle is a 2025 Landcruiser 79. Mostly for towing capacity and being able to access more offroad areas of Australia, but admittedly a lot of the appeal is just how awesome they look when decked out for "adventuring".

The person you're replying to mentioned a Toyota, which I also drive a newer model of. It has two modes: lane assist (which works like you have described) and lane centering (which automatically is enabled when you switch on cruise control). The centering will continuously nudge you towards what it decides is the center of your lane.

It's awful and I've trained myself to automatically long press the button on the steering wheel to disable the entire system every time I get behind the wheel.

The "big beak!" comment in the svg source makes me think it's definitely a gamed "benchmark" at this point.

You've so perfectly explained something that I picked up from my father. He always seemed to have a way to get special treatment from people. I always explained it in a very Australian way; "he's a bit of a character" and figured it was tied to his gift of "telling a yarn".

But reflecting on it now, it's because he was always on a quest.

For me the advantage of nova is increasing the density of app icons able to be displayed on the home screen and app drawer.

I run with a 9x7 home screen grid and 8x6 app drawer.

This allows me to have a weather widget with a large clock and an excellent calendar widget called Todo Agenda displayed while still allowing me to have all my apps accessible on one screen.

comments in this submission is just straight up guessing and assuming whatever guesses they make are correct.

True of every comment thread on HN.

Absorbing the thoughts of other humans on any topic you have deep knowledge of makes you see that all coverage of EVERY topic is subtly incorrect / poor / has an agenda.

It's sort of liberating when you realize.

For four great years in my career I ran game servers for an Australian ISP. I really enjoyed tossing up servers for new HL2 / UT / Quakeworld mods and seeing what picked up a community, chipping in on a cyberpunk HL2 mod in the same period.

I have such rose coloured glasses of that time.

Looking back, most of the dedicated server software felt like it was just tossed over the wall. Some of the stuff we used to have to do to get things running happily on headless linux servers was very hacky. Others simply HAD to run on windows hosts.

I feel like the entire industry died as games became "live" services.

Nearly 2 decades later when my kids got into Minecraft, I stumbled into the hosted MC server world and was just amazed by the size of the industry around it.

It was a real "arrrh this is where that same spirit ended up" moment.

And now of course there's huge servers funded by getting kids into gambling and pay to win.... Gross.

My read is that the person you're responding to thinks that pglite could be a better fit than sqlite for ci/cd, where currently sqlite is used.

Not that testing is the main use of sqlite.

I've had a similar approach. My kids computers are setup next to mine and I keep an eye on what they're playing.

I've instigated a purchase wait period of at least 3 days. Very often they themselves realize that the thing that they wanted to spend their pocket money on was a brief desire.

I was super proud when I heard my son say "meh, this is pay to win" as quitting a random roblox game he was trying out.

It's an open-source framework for building intelligent, task-driven bots in Minecraft Java Edition powered by large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4, Gemini, and many others. Designed for research and creative automation, these bots can connect to Minecraft worlds, perceive and act on their environment, undertake custom tasks like resource gathering or building, and even collaborate in multi-agent scenarios.

I loved pipes. I had rss feeds from all the sites where I was sharing content collected up and formatted via pipes into a single rss feed that was pulled into a php blog.

Then all those sites I used to post on stopped supporting rss one by one and finally pipes was killed off.

For a while I used a python library called riko that did the same thing as pipes without the visual editor. I have to thank it for getting me off php and into python.

I did a similar project... <checks date of yt video... oh my I'm old> 13 years ago. I haven't used it in some time, but I really do miss the visual aspect of selecting what to listen to... you've inspired me to get it rigged up again. Thanks.
