I can't speak to the details of RAM usage like speedgoose did below but it does seem at times that Google decides Mac users are second-class citizens. If you see some of their products on Mac OS versus the same products on Windows, you

I'm assuming they are and that makes it even more amazing I think.

The pleasant surprise is you all make improvements to the hardware and the software that really enhance the experience. Nowadays, leading billion dollar tech companies often come out with upgrades that highlight being a few microns thinner

Yeah wasn't sure if they had a process to it outside of pull requests. As in some other channel or method for hardware. But you're right, pull requests it is they said.

Will do thank you

Thanks for the in-depth reply. Is there some process you setup on Github for others if we test with our own cameras and let you know?

Truly amazing how the Raspberry Pi team keeps innovating. As far as I know, they're not a billion dollar company yet they keep innovating by making better Pi's and continuously upgrading the builder/user experience. Congratul

Took a look at your GitHub link, looks like you put in quite a lot of work. Looks very interesting. When you say "works great with other types of cameras", could you explain? You've tested with other cameras and could you tel

If this is happening with a lot of people, it is worrisome from a software quality point of view since the recent iOS 14 had wifi disconnecting. I wonder if there's an easy diagnostic method that is easy for people who aren't deve

Not sure how you get that Joe Rogan is a progressive? He's probably more libertarian than progressive. He was quite open about his support for Ron Paul in the Obama-Romney election and then went for Gary Johnson in 2016. When Sen Sande

This is strange, can anyone shed any light on why the ratings would drop so much? My assumption was their choice to use Android components was to provide a better experience to users.

You're very much on to something I think. I asked a question about the CEO & management soon after they announced the layoffs and the post had a few very good observations by others - then someone flagged the post and only my comme

That would be something, wonder if that's even a real possibility.

Really insightful, I didn't even realize any of that. I really thought both the Foundation and the Corporation were hurting. I'm assuming the research you refer to is their WebVR thing and I get it but how do they abandon Servo as

Didn't know about TripActions and letting 500 people go on a Zoom call. That is just ridiculous in the worst way.

My thought process was something like "How does Mozilla suddenly lose revenue for 250 employees and not see it coming in this environment?" I understand she has served with other tech companies before and apparently done very well

Ask HN: Do you think Mitchell Baker (Mozilla CEO) needs replacing?

I was an early adopter of Thalmic's armband and love the idea of innovative hardware startups. I don't know if it was marketing and Thalmic/North not getting traction for its products or if it was just that Google came in wit

A former gf of mine worked at Nortel (shipping) and she would mention a lot of what was written in this article. I thought it more or less conspiracy theories or drama, not realizing it could be real. Stupid me I guess

As someone new to mapping and who wants to learn in a React or JS/web context, are there any articles,tutorials, books or videos you would suggest?

Let's be honest and realize that for some tech senior execs, they've been made aware of these issues many times in the past. I'm not getting into whether it's right or not to have a code of conduct, just whether these st

Your claim that free software enabled "...the locked in, sever based, surveillance monetizing world we live in" just doesn't seem valid. Back when free software was still a new thing on college campuses, there were proprietar

As an Apple user for decades, have to say that High Sierra seemed to be one of their better recent releases. I have an iMac that uses it and a Mac Mini that is on Mojave and for some reason, High Sierra just feels more stable with some soft

This is a great initiative and hopefully it'll get fleshed out some. Me and two other devs have tried the Windows RN Windows for months off and on but always something missing when compiling. As for the Mac version, great that it worke

So true. I was talking to someone also in lockdown and she's in the market for a new laptop or iPad/keyboard. She also wants to play games with family and friends and that's when she realized multiplayer and games in general

Thanks for sharing that, very exciting. If by some stretch that means Swift can then make complete Windows programs, that could be good for consumers but particularly good for enterprise developers.

Took a break from coding and saw this, nice what you've been able to do with React. Maybe put some basic instructions bottom left or right so players know what controls to use. And you can make it more difficult by increasing your vehi

Wow, it's strange that I could've written this same post. Similar reasons for subscribing digitally and the same lack of other stories I would find interesting. I'm sure it's great for LA but a lesson learned - subscribe

I think what surprises a lot of people is that Google would take a premier product like Gmail and make it slower and less user-friendly. Even when you try to use the "basic HTML", they decided to not provide a lot of simple featur
