Hubic may be interesting for personal use but it's unsuitable for commercial use, which is my actual goal. I need something which I can buy in bulk and scales into PB range. For example the hubic contract [1] states that bandwidth is

Wow, time4vps.eu is even cheaper than hetzner for storage. Definitely going to be testing them out for my cloud storage needs.

Which HN guideline forbids or even suggests that advertisements should be frowned upon? HN is constantly filled up with advertisements. Changelogs are a good example of articles that don't even try to hide that they want you to use the

You're making it sound like that's a bad thing. Should we prefer articles written by people who are clueless in the area they're writing about?

This is incorrect. There was an opt-out phase where the Windows 10 install started automatically in the middle of work. I've experienced this myself, there's a moment where Windows 7 just shuts down and starts installing Windows 1

Yes, major improvements could be made by changing the defaults of the tools that beginners use. I edited my original comment to be more clear on this as well.

Any C++ static analyzer worth its salt would catch this. I don't think this is so much of a C++ language issue, but more of an issue with C++ environments/compilers not doing static analyzing by default, and/or the authors of

Interesting that you would call a plastic screen tablet well engineered . I imagine the dock is going to be the least of anyone's worries when they use this as an actual mobile device. Everything will scratch the plastic.

If the screen is behind something like Gorilla Glass [1] like all the other tablets on the market, then that plastic will never scratch the screen. This is due to the way scratching and physics work. [2] A good reference is Mohs scale of mi

At least Razer offers ISO keyboard layouts. I'm very grateful for that. All their competitors offer only US layout, no matter where you buy. [1] -- [1] Apple Macbook Pro is the closest device that has a ISO layout option. ASUS/Ace

Everything doesn't change overnight. There are plenty of warnings beforehand, and plenty of opportunity even during war. It takes quite a bit of time to lock everything down.

That's a pretty nice story. In Estonia the burden of suing is on the individual. We have a really streamlined system where if you don't show up to some event you were called for you get a fine and a new date. [1] If you don't

One simple way to be anti-semitic and pro-Israel is to live by the enemy of my enemy is my friend and use them for proxy propaganda/wars.

Indeed, they are designed to reduce CPU load. Even so, if the game can't use multiple cores and previously was running game logic & OpenGL driver on the same core, now it's only the game logic. [1] -- [1] nVidia actually imple

Git calculates sha1(prefix+file), while the Google example was meant for sha1(file). However there is no difference in the attack. You could just as easily construct two files that have different sha1(file) but matching sha1(prefix+file).

Downloading the PDFs [1] and comparing their sizes takes less than a minute. They're the exact same size. Yet here we have Linus making one bet after another that size has to be different for this attack. Now to be fair, he also keeps

In addition, as any bitcoin miner knows, AMD GPUs are actually far more efficient at calculating hashes.

I'm sure Andrey would be willing to give you the source code, or even just straight out GPL/BSD license it to everyone if you paid enough. So you see, it still comes back to the problem that you aren't willing to pay what is

This gap detection tests pretty much the same thing as CRT flicker. It tests at which point does a light source seem continuous. This doesn't cover the full extent of human vision capabilities. What's more, if you wouldn't ha

The thing is, anyone with a 144 Hz monitor [1] knows from experience that what you're claiming here is complete bullshit. Then there's also the fact that 70 Hz causes demonstrably more nausea in VR users than 90 Hz or more. Beyond

Why stop there? Your summary boils down to "just exist". The linked article is incredibly detailed, much more so than 90%+ of articles that pass through HN. It talks about nuances, e.g. that copy-paste mistakes more than likely ha

What limitations are there for just using a German registered car? That's one of the main arguments that is being brought up here in Estonia when the socialists try to create a car registration tax. The opponents claim that people will

You're correct that it has a significantly bigger impact in reaction-dependant games. [1] Civilization 6 was just a good example of a CPU-heavy game, regardless of whether those frames are that useful. However there's also the cas

The "games don't use CPU" line is only really true for multiplatform games that must also run on the low performance PS4/XBox One AMD Jaguar CPUs. If we look at PC exclusives [1] then we can see that these are extremely

The primary reason would probably be that Azure was the unproven new kid [1] on the block at the time these decisions were made at Snap. -- [1] Yes Google Compute Engine (GCE) is even newer than Azure, but Snapchat used (and probably still

Could be different micro-services. I'm not at Snap's size, but it's common for me to use Google App Engine (which Snap uses) and then also dedicated bare metal servers for fast data processing. What's more, Snapchat pred
