Virtual Envelopes

I’m glad people are looking into this because I do think it’s the future. However, why would you not take advantage of the heavily subsidized frontier models while you can. It’s obvious that they’re gonna have to raise prices at which point it might make sense to consider local models, but not today.

Not my experience. I have iPad Pro and I only use it for workouts. It sits on my workout machine and once or twice a week I try to watch a ~45 min episode while doing cardio. It’s always dead and needs constant charging. Never last more than 3 days without needing charging.

I’ve looked at jj, but couldn’t make sense of the proposed benefits. I always stage individual files and never the entire working directory, so I’m confused how it improves that over git.

An IndyCar is heavier than a Formula 1 car: while a Formula 1 car weighs 1759 pounds / 798 kg including the driver, an IndyCar weighs 1700 pounds / 771 kg on road and street courses, excluding the driver.

This seems to contradict itself.

Isn’t idea of insurance at odds with the idea of a pre-existing condition? Like car insurance is a hedge against a crash. We don’t let people buy it after totaling their car.

We really need an alternative system to cover pre-existing and not force it into insurance.

Insane that their official docs suggest running some Xcode project to start your VM. It seems like such a powerful feature might have a better UI.

I run Windows daily at work on a 60Hz display. I recently got my son a gaming PC complete with a 144Hz monitor. I was genuinely confused why Windows itself “felt” so much better. Just dragging windows around seemed like magic. It’s not that the UI is lagging on my machine, it’s more the smoothness of things when they move around. It makes everything seem faster, despite us timing various things and finding no actual performance differences.
