So apart from the pleasure of being able to use MacOS, I presume it will be cheaper to just put these parts together myself, yes? If the form factor is just a tower, well I can buy a tower myself. What is the advantage of paying for Apple a

They are very, very close IMO. I just bought my first desktop computer in a decade, in part for gaming, and bought all AMD. CPU was a no-brainer: unless you really really care about top of the line single core performance AMD is much chea

Does anyone have any insights to if this brings any interesting science to the table that is applicable outside of this context? I personally have zero interest in a fast car going fast, but it's always interesting to see how these sor

Heh. To me, it indicates that success is a function of something other than self-control and determination (ie largely luck, circumstance and nepotism).

This article is weird and contradicts itself. Having a strong password reduces the likelihood that your password can be brute forced if the hash is purchased online. This helps with "Credential Stuffing", "Password spray&quot

In general HN is very broad, but in this case I think they're right: this isn't an HN conversation, and I've flagged the post. There is nothing technology or hackery or interesting here apart from Just More Politics

The video linked at the bottom of the article doesn't work for me ("the video is unavailable <mock concern face>"). Is this a regional thing (I'm in the UK), or is it broken for everyone?

Perhaps a more general state is that it's a moral obligation to think and care about inclusivity relevant to your platform, instead of just "works for me"ing it. The application I work on is not specifically inclusive of blin

If all you care about is the US. Presumably the 2.5% figure is reasonably similar in many other countries, as opposed to the % who speak spanish, which will be higher in spain but lower in kenya.

It's an interesting discussion. Governments often require buildings and businesses to have certain accommodations for certain types of people. Are websites different to buildings of businesses? Mr Bob Hypothetical makes his new burger

Any super smart threat people reading this? Does anti-virus matter anymore? I haven't installed one for years, on Windows, Mac or Linx (decades?), it's unclear if that is a mistake or not.

"interesting", used in this context, implies that I am perhaps a shadowy figure in the nefarious employ of "big ISP". Would that it were so simple! My opinion is not that ISPs are correctly regulated, or even well regula
