  • Big cars are dead weight dragging down climate policy

    Jump

  • Not to mention they’re tremendously dangerous for everyone who isn’t inside. The fear of dying in a car crash meets the illusion of safety, when it’s being forced to ride or drive in a car that puts your safety at risk to begin with.

  • Asahi Linux project’s OpenGL support on Apple Silicon officially surpasses Apple’s

  • I use a DisplayLink dock at home because it works, it’s just kinda annoying that I have to hack multi-display on an expensive laptop. When I go to the office I just deal with double-docking, it’s still a better display situation than when I was running Ubuntu and GNOME.

  • Or even better, just going across the state line and buying one.

  • Asahi Linux project’s OpenGL support on Apple Silicon officially surpasses Apple’s

    Jump

  • It’s an arbitrary one. Most Windows and even Linux laptops can display to multiple monitors without extensive display controllers. For example, my two HDMI USB-C hub can be driven by a Windows or Linux laptop and independently display two monitors, MacOS mirrors them. On my M2 Max MBP if I connect one USB-C hub to one monitor and another USB-C hub in another USB-C port to another monitor, they work. No DisplayLink.

  • Are there artisticly vivid, custom Excel skins?

  • I have a not so pretty sheet on Google Sheets I use for finances and while I agree, spreadsheets are generally not amazing. When they are, they certainly are.

  • It’s not. It’s 100% a MacOS limitation, because you can use MST on Windows to drive multiple displays on Mac hardware, the same is likely possible with Asahi Linux if they want to support it. Apple doesn’t want to use MST because they want you to buy into their Thunderbolt displays for extra monitors, or you can just use DisplayLink if you’re desperate like me.

  • Dealing with an Excel spreadsheet is already a living hell, what’s a little extra pain and suffering going to do?

  • First contract for widening I-70 approved by Missouri highways commission

    Jump

  • I’m all for public transit, but this is probably one of the most car-dependent parts of the country. Who expects them to not think car when they were getting transportation funding? It’s not right, but it’s not going to be easy for them to stuff public transit in rural central Missouri and anticipate getting any return on the costs. More likely to get a bunch of angry hicks with pitchforks.

  • As soon as they can make multiple displays work over a single USB-C I may be able to ditch the double dongle nightmare I have right now

  • A mistake I once made: instead of お城（おしろ）I said お尻（おしり）

    Jump

  • I’m pretty sure context and inflection would probably make a huge difference here. You may say 触ってもいいですか, but if you are entering someone’s home or going out to eat and approaching a table, I think they’re going to understand your intention or at the very most that you made a silly pronunciation mistake.

  • Longitudinal effects of dog ownership, dog acquisition, and dog loss on children’s movement behaviours

  • Dogs are the key to getting your kids to go outside

  • A 7,000-Pound Car Smashed Through a Guardrail. That’s Bad News for All of Us.

    Jump

  • Yes, I’m not sure if the truck finds the stop so gentle but the driver (and surrounding traffic) at least is able to walk away if their brakes fail.

  • McDonald's is promising 'attention to affordability' after the price of Big Mac meals hits $18

  • The fabs broke sub-micron well over 30 years ago, the biggest reason it won’t happen sooner in the public space is because most assume making it open-source is impossible. Technology hasn’t progressed because people said X (variable, not the social formerly known as Twitter) was impossible, it progressed because of the people who questioned that assumption.

  • No one claimed they’re making pi chips in their garage, it’s a modest start towards open-source hardware. One guy in a garage doing what thousands of skilled engineers and scientists devoted careers to make in expensive labs.

  • This is the same argument you could use against any open-source projects. Software is much easier to open-source because the tools needed and barrier to entry are relatively minuscule. Hardware requires a lot of resources that take time and money to acquire. TSMC is fifty years ahead because they have had billions in research funds and have acquired the brightest minds of the past few generations, this still doesn’t mean that the technology of today is limited to highly advanced fabs the same way fifty years from now. Arguably all it takes is a dedicated team of highly-skilled hobbyists to make leaps toward open-source hardware more suitable for today’s requirements.

    OP said hobbyists will never be able to make open-source hardware close to today’s scale, but it’s entirely possible for future generations to do just that.
