   Interestingly, Cloudflare (don't shoot me for mentioning the name, HN!) identify Porkbun as "GoDaddy-Porkbun" but I don't know the relationship. Edit: "Top Level Design [Porkbun owners] was the domain name registry

   I just did a quick test with a N920 on Windows (Zadig installed, WebUSB stub installed) and I get the popup from Firefox and see the N920 in the extension but WMDpro fails with "Transfer error" I'm pretty sure the lead dev is

   That's the crux, I think. Apple even in 2017 had the money and engineering resources to update or replace their flagship computer - whether with a small update to Skylake & Polaris and/or a return to a cheesegrater design as t

   I'm in the Linux desktop / Mac laptop camp, and it works well for me. Prevents me getting too tied up in any one ecosystem so that I can jump ship if Apple start releasing duds again.

   I'll admit that while I've used the trash can but never taken it apart myself. But I can't imagine it would have been impossible to throw 2x Polaris 10 GPUs on the daughterboards in place of the FirePros.

   When it was introduced, Apple said the trash can was a revolution in cooling design. Then they said they couldn't upgrade the components because of heat. Everyone knows that wasn't true. By the time Apple said they had issues with

    And to take the analogy even further, I'm sure there will be a subset of people who develop really strong opinions about a particular toolchain or workflow. Like how we have people who specialize in 70s diesel trucks or 90-00s JDM spor

    You mean Metro/Modern? I never see it anymore, and to be honest I prefer the 10 look over Aero, despite being a Millennial vaporwave fan. I haven't spun up 7 in years and years, and I don't miss it at all. But OS X 10.4'

    You might be right. QEMU doesn't always make clear when you're running emulated or virtualized.

    Because Windows isn't really an OS anymore, but a "platform" to deliver advertisements and lock you into Microsoft services. The OS core itself is fairly solid (and has been since Vista/7) but it's all of the crud s

    Touche. The rezoning policy is one of the very few things I can give credit for. Since you're discussing BC housing policy, I assume you know of the amazing Uytae Lee?

    I'll correct myself: it sounds good for about 5 seconds before you think about it and realize it's an unworkable idea which creates more problems than it solves.

    The Economist app and Inoreader are higher on my front page than Instagram is, so I am being slightly tongue in cheek. But I do maintain that there is a place for mindless time killing. Life is stressful, I'm constantly switching betwe

    It's "thoughtcrime" and "censorship" when they do it. It's "stopping disinformation" and "protecting democracy" when we do it.
