The Phoebe's launch OS (RISC OS 4) was codenamed "Ursula". Unfortunately, shortly into its development, the Phoebe went on an (indefinite) break.

Titanfall did this. If I recall correctly, the full install size was about 48GB, 35GB of which was just uncompressed audio. And that was back in the days when 120GB (or less) SSDs were common. A total self-own and never fixed or understood.

Sure, but it's also 20% cheaper to get the ARM setup, so I don't think it's fair to discriminate this way. In the end what matters is what I can buy, and ARM both offers more cores per socket and per dollar.

Can confirm this; we've gotten more than 20 reports and demands for bounties for "public access" on our open data subdomain (backed by S3), which literally is `public.`. Then they beg to have the report closed as "inform

If you're having color banding, you may need to force RGB on your external monitor [1]. I had to do this a few years ago, it massively improved the picture. That said, I was in disbelief that this was a problem that both was common eno

It's not even that expensive, so it's a much easier product to recommend. Compare to the 2012 MBPr, a similarly innovative Apple laptop. The 2012 was $2,199 in 2012 dollars (nearly $2,500 today). This is that kind of leap, and mor

People on HN still want to talk about the M1. It's just such an exciting product. So this will still sit on the front page for a while, despite the relatively terse source material.

It's excellent. I have the 8-core i9 16" Pro and I prefer the Air in every way for development. The keyboard is better (no touchbar), it doesn't get as hot, the battery life is better, it's faster, and it cost 1/4 a

Yes, the store is terribly slow. That's almost certainly at the UI layer, which may indeed be something like Electron, which would explain the slowness. Node.js isn't slow, especially for this use case, but any sort of HTML-based

That's normal. My i9 does the same. It is heavily, heavily reliant on turbo boost for performance and regularly boosts up to 80W (!!!). As soon as the last kinks are ironed out for M1 there's no reason imo to use the Intel Macs ev

Could be worse, see https://www.amazon.com/CalDigit-Connect-10G-Thunderbolt-Ethe... . Looks like the controller generates significant heat, so there's a tradeoff between active cooling or increased thermal mass.

It does. The developer kits, however, did not.

The quine introduces a few concepts I've not yet seen before, and I always appreciate deep-dives into the (very) sloppy and forgiving parsing that browsers do to forgive the developer's perceived mistakes. One can argue, quite con

The basic function is simply defined as: function clamp(num, min, max) { return Math.max(min, Math.min(num, max)); } That is, if you don't try to do anything fancy and make any parameters optional. Lodash does and it makes

A practical problem to solve there: where do you put the cameras? I would actually prefer putting them behind the screen if possible - a few small pinholes wouldn't be that noticeable. If you could put multiple wide-angle cameras in mu

JFYI, pressing `esc` on your page takes me to a squarespace login page, which was rather jarring.

Dreading? I doubt it. It's a relief when the problem your library solves no longer needs solving!

It is not that simple. Cookies can have attributes such as "HTTPOnly" (don't allow access from JavaScript), "Secure" (only send on TLS-enabled sites), and expiry. While it may seem possible to replicate some of thes

Even better, `tig reflog`, which makes it easy to check out the content of a commit or the history of a branch in context with the reflog.

You hit the nail on the head as to why people don't use Slack & Jitsi, and barely use Hangouts: it's the call quality, stupid. Zoom drops out less, video & audio quality is better, screen sharing works. It's as close

Absolutely fascinating, high-quality, deeply technical article with a healthy dose of nostalgia. I'd love to see more of this (even though we often have quite a bit!) on HN. Does anyone know if this technique was ever used again on the

Jitsi's P2P nature is great for 1:1 or small group conversations if everyone has solid connections. From experience it starts to break down with larger groups, and becomes pretty useless overall if one or two participants have spotty c
