lock-free

I'd guess because the market isn't really there when wire is extremely cheap and the building codes require more outlets than most people need. The wire for your sconce has already been run through the wall, it's at an outlet. Managing cables is not that hard.

Power tools are a bit different because they need to fit into any given tight space about once, and can't rely on wall power being nearby. Your sconce and kitchen appliances don't work on the same assumption.

> I’m using macOS Y and you use macOS Z which is a pain for me to set up a VM for, if at all possible

If Apple should be sued for anti-consumer behavior this is why... It costs time and money to fix software with every MacOS release and I'm getting close to suggesting we add a 50% Apple tax on products to pay for the additional support it entails.

This works until you have a bug you can't replicate on a developer machine that your CI misses. This is a common thread on open source projects:

> issue opened October 2013

> __ is broken on MacOS

> __ should fix it but I don't have a Mac to test.

Is this sarcastic? Rent control drives up rent. It doesn't make housing cheaper, it's just NIMBYism that renters get to participate in

I want a single family home because it has no shared walls and a private backyard space for my kids and dog. It's not that hard to find condos or apartments with decent floor space.

You have to watch out for the TVs that attempt to connect to public networks. So pray your neighbors have passwords on their wifi and didn't opt in to Comcast's hotspots.

Is this equivalent to a vector backed list?

Smell-o-vision: a device that can be programmed to release smells.

Here's the pitch:

Art has the power to move minds, and a startup that expands the creative power of artists by letting them paint with smells could change the world.

There's a ___ billion dollar market for smells. Theme parks, film and streaming, extended reality, and commercial retail. It's our most powerful tool to trigger recognition. Today we use primitive devices with fixed scents, but there's no search engine for smells there's no reprogrammable scratch and sniff - we're using analog smells in a digital world.

We want to revolutionize the way we smell by democratizing scent. Provide new technologies to discover and recreate smells in any environment, at home or on location.

The applications are endless. We can train medical professionals and industrial workers to recognize dangerous scents without putting them in harms way. We can create the next generation of virtual experience, expanding art into new dimensions.

This has been done before, going back to the 60s. It's kind of niche but the practical issues of building a device that can do it and one that people will buy have been insurmountable.

Consumers are free to buy other things, like yourself. It doesn't sound like regulation was necessary, as the free market provided products that fit your needs.

I fundamentally disagree with the notion that government should have a say in design decisions for consumer products past safety and environmental concerns. I don't design things to support every consumer use case, I don't document it so those use cases can be supported, and I don't take it personally if a consumer chooses a competing product because it fits their use cases better. If enough consumers do that, I support those cases.

There is plenty of consumer freedom in consumer electronics. We don't need the government telling us what they think our customers want.

Why not NaN for floating point division and INT_MAX for integer division?

When you write code that may divide by zero you need to check the result afterwards (and in truly defensive programming that is every time you divide numbers). 0 is not a great choice because it doesn't necessarily mean you divided by zero - in floating point, dividing by a sufficiently large number or when working with the status register set to flush denormals to zero then normal division can result in 0. For integer division, any fraction will result in 0.

No valid division can result in NaN or INT_MAX.

The hard part of electric vehicle has never been assembly - its batteries and charging. Toyota and VW can ramp up as much as they want, but they'll probably have to buy the batteries from Tesla.

Tesla is not without its problems, but I think it's a bit naive to focus on the solved problems as limiting their potential. It's also the wrong thing to look at - Tesla is concerned about dictating the future of transportation and energy, selling cars is a means to an end.

Buy from a competitor then

I have my debit account linked to Apple Pay too.

Cash back is pretty standard, if not below other rates (I'm not even sure what qualifies as 1 vs 2 vs 3%, seems random). The disputes aren't any easier or harder than I've seen through other apps for different banks.

The graph for expenses looks good, but I've had that with other accounts for years.

It's really not that different other than cash back being right there in the same app

There's no evidence that was the root cause of the hack.

Also, you have to design for incompetence. Technical users are the most dangerous ones of all.
