I'd love to have a look at Chime as well, but unfortunately they neither offer a Linux client nor browser support.

Interesting in this context is to point out how it's anchored into German law. Germany's Federal Data Protection Act states: > Section 3a > Data reduction and data economy > > Personal data are to be collected, process

Leaving htop running (best in background in a screen session on some server) is such a waste of CPU resources. I've already seen that multiple times and always wondered if the people don't recognize by looking at htop's outpu

All MacBooks prior to the 2015 generation and MacBook Pros prior to the 2016 generation work fine with up-to-date Linux distributions. Newer ones might still have some limitations like: - stuff might not work out of the box and needs manual

When using macOS the ambient light sensor is afaik only used for the brightness of the keyboard backlight. The brightness of the TouchBar isn't related to ambient light and just depends on the usage of the MacBook Pro. In use it's

You probably mean T1, as the repo covers MacBook Pros and not the iMac Pro. While I agree that hardware support isn't where it should, it's getting better. Hey, we even have a working driver for the internal keyboard since several

Not entirely true. The T1 also controls the FaceTime camera, TouchID and probably parts of SMC functionality (ambient light sensor), although that last one still has to be confirmed.

That should also mean doubled CPU performance which might be important for some workloads as well! Edit: From the docs: > Functions larger than 1536MB are allocated multiple CPU threads, and multi-threaded or multi-process code is needed

As tinnitus can be measured using hearing tests I think we have a pretty good understanding that it's not a universal condition.

I can't help to think that Gitlab is more and more eating Github's lunch. I wonder why we see so little from Github to get out of that situation.

Depends on the model. On the non-TouchBar models WiFi works fine, on the TouchBar models it doesn't. For more details check: https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux

Ever since I read that Intels UEFI reference implementation has a comparable complexity to the Linux kernel[1] I thought it's absolut nuts to have something with such a complexity just to set up the hardware for another operation syste

The MacBook Pro 2015 doesn't use an USB connection to connect the internal keyboard when using macOS. Instead it uses SPI. Unlike the newer MacBook Pros it still has the keyboard wired to USB, but doesn't use that because of power

That's brilliant. I love it. Though it would benefit from more different photos. So far I already had countries with just 2 motifs on five different pictures were one of the motifs was just the countries flag.

> Apple just doesn't seem to care about build quality beyond the cosmetics of their Mac lineup. A great example of this is how they have dual connections from the keyboard & trackpad to the mainboard (USB and SPI), while the UEF

I guess that would integrate nicely with MyMuesli ( https://uk.mymuesli.com/ ). For those who don't know MyMuesli: It's a company which lets you mix your own muesli (from ~350 ingredients) and ship it to you. It&#x2

For large scale A/B testing you need a certain amount of visitors first to get the necessary statistical significance, otherwise its feedback is unrepresentative as well. A lot of side projects probably don't have enough visitors

Well, you should probably ask AWS, as they are the only ones that can tell you for sure. Aside from that, us-east-1 is the most critical region to loose for AWS as some services run solely there. So if AWS looses us-east-1 I expect some ser

Oh yes. Backups for DynamoDB are a pain in the ass, especially as AWS doesn't offer an out-of-the-box solution for that. That Data Pipeline + EMR solution mentioned in the blog post (here is a better link for it: https://doc
