Satisfactory's a great game & Coffe Stain has put out quite a few big updates along the way, with lots of transparency. Kudos to the whole team! FYI: if you like Satisfactory and/or Factorio, you may want to check out Dyson Sp

I keep seeing articles about this, but none have included any examples of the offending "critical race theory" in question... what gives?

This certainly isn't the first example of a sketchy/deceptive product targeted at a conservative audience, and it won't be the last... Grifters have found an easy target in leveraging outrage & persecution fetish, and for

Depending on the config, the M1 Pro has 8 or 10 cores - and unlike the M1, the M1 Pro's 8 core configuration uses 6 performance cores and 2 efficiency cores vs 4 / 4

I get that there are specific use cases that preclude M1 as a choice, I even noted that by saying "without specific needs in my post. >so I don't understand why everyone on HN wants to crucify you for using X86 instead of M1. N

Uh, yeah? Could host dozens (or even hundreds) of different sites/domains with different degrees of functionality in different languages/frameworks for different clients on one machine.

It's a good way to compartmentalize if you've got a lot going on on a single machine.

Had this same thought when I watched this teardown when it came out a few days ago. I'm a big fan of the power/efficiency of the M1 (and all variants), but it's completely ridiculous that the teardown is so involved to get at

Mini. Studio is a waste of money if you're not regularly doing intensive & specific workloads like video editing/rendering. Plain M1 is quite capable on its own.

I've tried a few different different mechanical keyboards over the years, and I keep ending up back on my trusty old Corsair K70 w/ mx brown switches. 6+ years and still going strong. Mechanical keyboards are nice, but try not to

Many American companies only give 2-3 weeks of combined sick + vacation time, which isn't really enough for "a long vacation" - furthermore, many companies have a "use it or lose it" and don't let you roll over

You make a pretty grand assumption here - that OP had time/capacity in all the madness to be able to document things and simply opted not to. You also gloss over the fact that he addressed this in the article (things were documented, p

Moon gets struck by meteorites all the time... dust kicked up by landings or man-made impacts isn't really a problem that warrants concern.

Snagit has been my go-to screenshotting/documentation tool for 3+ years. It's not free, but it's the best thing I've found for being able to quickly take screenshots & annotate them - it's got better annotation

To get decent ram/storage on a MBA (e.g. 16GB/512GB) you're looking at at least $1400 - at which point the 14" m1 pro starts looking attractive with its MiniLED/ProMotion screen, speakers, ports, better overall perf

>This is in no way exclusive to Apple. Perhaps not, but on most Intel laptops (especially those with comparable form factors to an air or pro), you're probably at least going to have a fan spinning up playing 4k60 content.

Typing tests with random words are garbage for testing your typing speed. The discordant nature of random words just doesn't flow well and you end up stumbling (mentally) because of it.

Frankly, don't expect to be able to type all that much faster than you already are without extreme measures (unusual keyboard layouts, stenography, etc.) - you're already well above average. Typing 110-120 wpm, your fingers are hi
