What’s nice about no one adhering to rules is that people who break them usually end up dead or without a car. Self healing in a way, real unfortunate for anyone else who might have to deal with your shitty decisions.

I already am, don’t worry, plenty of people like to ride my ass, even when we can’t go any faster.

That is pretty significant difference between what I had experienced, i guess not much more mpg for your vehicle for you vs my own eco vehicle. sorry your car doesn’t experience more efficiency gains. I am good where I am at. My suggestion wasn’t to stop you from achieving what would be higher speeds but rather you will feel the gas pedal be much harder to push. That is all

We are now discussing what ifs, and honestly that is valid. Still not worth it in my book. Rather blame the traffic controllers who don’t check to make sure all cars are going through the light or straight up there is just too much traffic which isn’t solved by everyone driving 75+ MPH. It is solved if we instead offer better public transportation. At the end of the day we have different views here. I firmly believe in my own and do not think it is going to change anytime soon.

I was assuming the 15 time savings is two way, or else 120 miles one way is just insane and abnormal to expect from others. He can go cry me a river.

It is just plain math, we all living with what we can do. If you are stuck with gas, I hope you can save up cash for a house. My sister finds houses for rent that are about the same rental cost as an apartment. I also found apartments that have a garage for me to park into. Similar rent cost but added 150/m probably not going to save money on gas but at least there are options my family has found to accommodate our needs.

At the end of the day, driving electric or riding my bike, I save enough cash that I am able to save 150 to 300 a month.

Plus saving pennies on gas? Sorry but that is the nature of a gas vehicle. They have a really short window of mpg between granny driving and rocketing at 75+.

I calculated it plenty. when driving 65 MPH, the air resistance is good enough for you to get 28 to 30 mpg. Let’s keep it simple and just say 30 mile trip. At 75+ MPH, your efficiency starts taking a major hit. You will likely be traveling at 25 MPG. That is a +20 percent increase on gas consumption. If you think of it, that is a consistent 18% to 20% loss on gas.

At $3.50/g(my current market) with an additional 20% increase of fuel usage so, $3.50 * 1.2 = $4.20

For a 15 gallon tank, you are burning $63 worth of fuel on average.

While on electric vehicle, it depends on types of charging. If you have solar then it’s free, I don’t. If you have simple home charger, my current rate is 20 cents per kWh. If you fast charge, then it is 50 to 60 cents per kWh.

Most of the time I am getting between 3.5(above 65 MPH) to 4.5(below 65 MPH) Miles per kWh. With 30 mile trip that is 8.57 kWh to 6.67 kWh usage. This helps translate to cost of gas because 1 gallon at 65 MPH is about 30 miles. So if I do only home charging that is $1.70 to $1.33 for electric. Fast charging that is about $4.70 to $3.67 for just the 30 miles.

15 gallons of gas can get you 375 miles at 25 MPG, or 450 at 30 MPG. Remember $63 for driving at 25 MPG vs $52.5 for driving at 30 MPG. With electric driving, to get 375 mile at 3.5 miles per kWh or 450 miles at 4.5 miles per kWh. we can translate them over.

(Above 65 MPH) 375/3.5 = 107.15 kWh * $0.20 = $21.42
(Below 65 MPH) 450/4.5 = 100 kWh * $0.20 = $20.00

(Above 65 MPH) 107.15 kWh * $0.55 (fast charge) = $58.92
(Below 65 MPH) 100 kWh * $0.55 = $55.00

See now how crazy expensive that becoming for gas while electric is barely taking a hit? Makes little difference for electric vehicles, but gas? That is not pennies.

Let me tell you I was being very generous with the MPG figure. I looked at family members MPG tracker on their car and they are getting 20 to 25 MPG, but I was being generous because isolating highway only driving is mostly a generous driving situation for a gas vehicle.

Ha, what kind of commute are you doing cross country? That is a wildly long commute. If you find that you need to do 50 to 60 mile commutes then it’s not the norm here. Most of my commutes are within 5 to 25 miles. Driving on the highway at 75 saves as I said, with 1 minute or none at all just because I will hit the same red lights at the same time as others, mind you I do notice when someone flies past me on the fast lane and we reach the same exit ramp stop light.

The pedal isn’t telling you, it’s basically making it so that you have to consciously push harder to go faster.(A natural deterrent to those who like to just push the car faster and faster without feeling).

Sorry if you like going fast, and your unnaturally long commute is required. I rather save money instead of living like I never can save any money. Prices went up, I felt the economy lose control. You think Trump is going to lower them? Not really confident in that myself.

I wish vehicles made it harder to go above 65 MPH.(Like a mandated regulation to have the foot pedal feel harder to push past 65). Like I want to save money in this economy. Going above 65 is mostly a complete waste of money and will more likely than not save less than a minute or none at all because we all will hit the same red lights on the city streets. I hate how normalized we all become to it. I now mostly drive city streets with either electric vehicle or electric bike. Rent is criminally expensive, people really expecting me to waste money driving 75 on the highway? Fuck that

I don’t understand what this has to do with a PhD in cyber security but I do agree with what you said though

Glibc’s qsort will default to either insertion sort mergesort or heapsort. Quicksort itself is used when it cannot allocate extra memory for mergesort or heapsort. Insertion sort is still used in the quicksort code, when there is a final 4 items that need to be sorted.

Normally it is simply mergesort or heapsort. Why I know this? Because there was a recent CVE for quicksort and to reproduce the bug I had to force memory to be unable to be allocated with a max size item. It was interesting reading the source code.

That is if you are not on a recent version of qsort which simply removed quicksort altogether for the mergesort + heapsort

Older version still had quicksort and even some had insertion sort. Its interesting to look at all the different versions of qsort.

Don’t listen to the haters but it would have been nice if you collapsed this because it is very long and generalized to the point that it is pretty much an eyesore. Plus most people can ask their AI of choosing semi-random topics. I don’t see what was interesting in the AI response at all. It states some blatantly obvious facts and is rather too wordy. I intentionally include into the system prompt or “personalization” about how I like things to be kept short and to not reiterate what I had posted especially if it just sounds like the “AI” is thinking out loud.

I usually ask AI to summarize it and then I get a pretty good idea of what it was meant to do. It’s just another tool to me. AI generated code sucks but it’s nice when it’s a quick summary.

I run a personal dnsmasq just for dns resolving/routing. It integrates well with Networkmanager. Easy to work with and very reliable to have the DNS resolution and routing be handled by dnsmasq. Single command to reload NetworkManager which also reloads the integrated dnsmasq. I like it and it offers a lot of control for me. I hate having to use the hosts file for when I am connecting to labs via VPN with their own network. dnsmasq is way better at handling subdomains than the hosts file and it feels way more reliable than just hoping the minimal DNS routing system works properly.

You should try to min-max your weekend but instead shift what your expectations are for the min-max. Planning ahead of the weekend is good to reduce anxiety over what you are doing at each minute of the weekend. You plan it out and stick to it. If something comes up that fucks the plan up, then simply it was just not meant to be. Do plan out moments where you are resting too, because if you are planning to do tasks, then you should plan when there is a clear time to rest. Usually tasks happen between times of rest. So plan those rest times accordingly, as those are the only moments when your body can repair and do what it needs to do to keep you healthy. Good luck

there is one separating detail that is not shared between most of us. It really depends on how long that tenant lives there. if they are living there for a long period of time and like the place, then yes you are a leech, but a good one since they enjoy living there enough to stay. On the other hand, if you switch tenants often because of high rent costs or bad housing(maintenance included), then you are just simply a leech and not a good one because you are not even providing anything, you instead are holding the property that is simply rotting away with no way for the family holding it to be able to make changes or work towards making it better as they don’t own it. If they leave for other reasons outside of your control, then you are not a leech and provided good housing for someone.

Since this isn’t usually known by most and takes time to build that moral ideal, it is usually up to you to consider how to act and there is not really an incentive or demand for you to act morally good. Your current living arrangements, life choices and poor job market is not applicable here, you held a home and still operate on living on someone’s paycheck. I hope the best for you and anyone who might be put in a bad spot, I know I am in my own bad spot. Would I try to hold myself to a moral high ground? maybe, though pain is short and I will likely still act not morally good at times, though I am not going to consider myself otherwise but a leech if I do. I would rather make sure I can get new tenants by making sure I get the current one is able to get one that is better or their own property, and help someone new with housing. That is what I think a good landlord could do but if the family likes the house then I can help them afford to buy it off me. See it is just business.

That is only for leeching aspects. I bet there are more complex thinking involved but this is what I think who a financial/real state leech is.

Ah the chaos theory reasoning. There can’t be anything perfect when thinking about it as a whole but you can find sections in a diversified area that are mostly perfect at some point in time but nothing ever lasts.

There are way dirtier things being done in a bedroom or playing outside sports. Why does it matter if you are clean? Why is a woman asking that silly question like as if we don’t kiss the mouth of someone who just gargle them balls

I don’t even use votes, it’s a system that breeds self satisfaction. Unhealthy thoughts and feelings too

Ok 👍
