What do you think of this prediction?
I think Gabe has been getting healthy lately. Last picture I saw of him he was looking like he lost a lot of weight. Maybe repost this in 10 years and then we can panic.

I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists?

I feel that backup cameras have become more necessary as crash safety rules have become more stringent. The belt line on cars is really high now. You can't see as much out of the sides or the back. My car from the early 2000s definitely had windows that were lower and I had no trouble parallel parking it without a camera. I appreciate the cameras on the newer vehicles. Easier parking is great but also.... not running over little kids is good too I suppose.

Gabe Newell says no-one in the industry thought Steam would work as a distribution platform—'I'm not talking about 1 or 2 people, I mean like 99%'
I sent them an angry email when I bought my first house. I had purchased a physical copy of a game because I was waiting for my Internet to get turned on. I wasn't able to play because it required an internet connection to complete the registration. I was so mad. I told them I would never buy another thing from Valve. That turned out to be the lie of the century. I was super wrong and Valve has been a company you can be proud of for decades. I often think about what a jackass I was for sending that email.

2023 was the year that GPUs stood still
Still rocking a 1080. I don't see a big enough reason to upgrade yet. I mostly play PC games on my steam deck anyways. I thought starfield was going to give me a reason. Cyberpunk before that. I'm finally playing cyberpunk but the advanced haptics on PS5 sold me on going that route over my PC.

This is the kind of useless bullshit I plan to do when I retire! I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah, by Randall. Years and years ago he had them on his website. My wife got it for me.

Border czar whines it’s been ‘hard’ to find undocumented immigrants
A quick google suggests that there are over 400k non-citizens with criminal convictions in the US. Even with such a large number it seems like it would be really hard to locate and apprehend 1,500 of them each day. It's not like ICE wasn't trying before! It's just more ridiculous theatrics. I feel bad for all the normal immigrant families that are living in fear because of this nonsense.

To our Canadian friends, I'm really sorry about all this nonsense. I love Canada just the way it is. Can't wait for my next trip up to Toronto or Montreal. Always a good time. I'm a little worried that I might not get a warm welcome on the next trip though.

For C++ I found the clangd plugin to be the secret. Just install that and get your build to output a compile_commands.json in your build folder. That is easy to do with cmake but most other setups can do it too. The plugin will find that after a clean build. Then it will magically index your whole project.

Heat-pump water heaters are a winner for the climate — and your wallet
We had a GE that had the heat pump die after a couple years. Now our AO Smith will randomly not have hot water some mornings with no error codes. I am all for heat pumps, I am just not enjoying being a beta tester. I'd like to replace my gas furnace with a heat pump but my previous experiences make me nervous. Hopefully in a few years they will be rock solid reliable.

The Palm Pre Is The Reason You Love Your Phone
I had one. I really liked it but there were a couple of major downsides I remember. If you had to reboot it, it took many minutes to come back up. It also had the build quality of a sand castle. My wife and I both went through multiple devices in the couple of years we had them. It was my first smart phone.

‘He’s realizing that he could lose’: the Trump campaign is panicking

I hear you. I was getting way too worked up about it as well. I've reduced my phone time as best I can, got some physical activity in, and tried to focus on some hobbies. It has really been helping but it took a couple days to take effect. I'm sure that you have or will be voting. Just do your part and then try to occupy yourself with other things.
