I’d guess it’s just correlated with poor sleepers.

I was scrolling around to see if I can find someone else that thought the same. In my usage of melatonin, it's only when I'm super stressed and can't seem to calm down enough to sleep.

Whatever you think of Coinbase, this is a pretty good response IMO:

> and will not pay the $20 million ransom demand we received. Instead we are establishing a $20 million reward fund for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the criminals responsible

That's the same move from the Ransom movie from 1996 https://youtu.be/haThIxPnYro?si=Jxu0elA-ylB5Z15q

What is the lowdown on Databricks? Their bread and butter were hosted Spark and notebooks. As tasks done in Spark over a data lake began to be delegated wholesale to columnar store ELT, they tried to pivot to "lake houses", then I sort of lost track of them after I got out of Spark myself.

Did Delta Lake ever catch on? Where are they going now?

when you got out of Spark, what did you go to?

Cook your food. I realize some people prefer it raw but from what I understand, cooking food kills ecoli. My family has eaten lettuce that has had ecoli reports but we usually thoroughly cook or vegetables.

ajma commented on AMD's Strix Halo under the hood   chipsandcheese.com/p/amds... · Posted by u/kristianp

I don't understand the name "Strix". It's a name a GPU and motherboard partner of theirs, Asus, uses (used?) for their products. It's impossible for me to read "AMD Strix" and not think of it as some ASU's GPU with an AMD chip in it, or some motherboard for AMD sockets.

Aren't there enough syllables out there to invent a combination which doesn't collide with your own board partners?

Reminds me when I was Amazon, one of our tablets was codenamed Thor. We could ask the device what it's codename was and we special cases some functionality for the tablet we built. But it was the same code we used for the android app and it turned out some other tablet manufacturer used the codename Thor and all of a sudden the code was super broken on that device.

> Long queues of cars were stuck outside Grand Canyon National Park over President's Day weekend, one day after the mass firing, due to a lack of toll operators to check people in at the gate.

I was there over Presidents Day weekend. The first day I went in (around 3pm) there was zero wait. The second day I went (around 10am), I had to wait 10 minutes. All the booths seemed open. I didn't find this matched up with my experience at all.

The argument I use to convince people is to ask them how long your battery lasts when you’re running any apps, I’ll then ask how long do you think your battery would last if the apps were listening all day long.

I can’t tell if my friends are convinced or if they’re too polite (or disinterested) to argue.

Does your car not have HomeLink? Homelink works fine with MyQ, no subscription required.

My cars (2018 Odyssey) home link transmitter is terribly underpowered. I have to right up to the door for it to work. The $15 remotes from Amazon work fine from the street.
