I don't have eye strain but have great difficulty getting glasses that work for me. I have a -6 prescription and two out of my last three glasses have had horrible distortion around the edges.


I used to have that problem too, I was -5.25 or so. The problem was I kept getting upsold on high index lenses. Yes, they are thinner, but the distortion at such a high correction was horrible. Small frames help, but then you have no peripheral vision. I switched to CR-39 and it was so much better. It's also the cheapest possible option which is nice. If you ask for the edges to be polished clear the thickness is less noticeable to others.

I eventually got sick of the coke bottles and got Lasik. I can see better than I ever thought possible, but the recovery was brutal. It was more than two years before I could go a day without Systane Ultra.


> - AOSP (the open source counterpart of Android) is now unusable. It doesn't ship with most essential apps, including a Phone app. In previous versions of Android, all of these were a part of AOSP.

This particular example is a bit misleading as those apps are still available; they're just unbundled from the system image: https://source.android.com/docs/automotive/unbundled_apps/re...


Your comment unfortunately implies that Google still maintains them, which is farthest from the truth (as this document shows, it is only maintained for automotive use - it is not usable on a regular phone).


Why is Google obligated to maintain them? It's open source so other people can and should do so.


Or: git pull --rebase origin main


TIL. Thank you.


Incase you haven't run across it, I've found that enabling the "refine" option on the shape makes applying a fillet far more predictable.


By chance did you mean Sourcetrail [1] instead of Sourcegraph? Old demo video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Cfu6f0uyzc8?si=oNS9KKlbgEk_Ct0p.

Yes you're right, my mistake!


This is not correct. The main infotainment system is not considered safety critical. There are some functions such as rear view camera that are but often this is handled by a real time os that overlays the video on top of the infotainment output. The infotainment system crashing will not take down your steering or braking.


Can confirm that. My xdrive unit in my BMW died a few months after buying, and everything worked, I could even hear the parking sensors even if I couldn’t see the camera feed anymore because that was piped through the X-drive unit.


Several years ago the city of Phoenix released plans for a net zero single family home: https://www.phoenix.gov/sustainability/home

You do have to provide some basic info to get them but I can confirm that they're a full set of plans.


I looked into that when it came out.

1. the house uses novel construction techniques. it's more of a design exercise than a serious attempt at something people might build.

2. you can't use the plans without getting sign off from an architect or engineer. this defeats the whole purposes of "releasing" plans.


Did any developers or private homeowners use these plans?


University of Michigan, 2012, a technical writing course was required (TCHNCLCM 300) and it's still required: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vh83l2mW6j9P91eqV4W3UbqU...


jrockway mentions postgres in their comment:

> (While I'm here, I'll also point out that PostgreSQL is similar here. Have you ever upgraded and had your app broke? Absolutely not. Every version is a free performance and feature win.)
