It seems like a perfect opportunity for someone to disrupt this market. I have never spent more than $100 on prescription glasses ($20 for lens with AR coating). I understand there's lack of information, otherwise people would buy just

If only it were that simple. Consider the lifestyles. If you're willing to live the same lifestyle and same environmental conditions, the same diet variables could potentially lead to similar lifespan. But in lieu of the same condition

I haven't really experienced that but if I had, that would make me quit on the product. I use it on my MacBook and Hackintosh Desktop, and perhaps there's lag on other platforms but I haven't used them.

Notion is just awesome and I have been using it for 6 months now. It's the only app I have used so far that feels like a text editor and despite covering so many use-cases, excels at each of them and outdoes individual apps made for th

Agreed. One of my pet peeves is JS projects. I am not sure why but the front-end developers refuse to add any comments at all. This trend, oddly enough, started with ES6. Pre-ES6, JSDoc style comments at least, were quite common. Just becau

Is anyone aware of any studies done on whether and how soon the "circadian rhythm" adjusts and changes? Personally, I easily and fully adjust within a few weeks to any new sleep schedule. For 10-14 days, I definitely feel more fat

Doesn't seem to work on Android devices. All I see is missing unicode characters. Roboto doesn't seem to have have these glyphs. On Mac, most of the glyps in the title seem to be from STIX font.

Having heard and tried DuckDuckGo many times over the years, the other day, I thought about giving it the nth try, to finally switch from Google. And what did I type? duckgogo.com. I'm sure there are others who find the name not so mem

If you have ever used Medium.com or the inspired niche of editors that followed, you will love Gutenberg. It's in this niche of editors where other names would be Dropbox Paper, and obviously the best in niche Notion.so - but Gutenberg

That's definitely a shame. It's filed under "Bloomberg Opinion" though (with a disclaimer at end about it being opinion of the article author). P.S. it's even worse that the hypocrite fans don't callout when th

That's a very legit concern that doesn't just affect the old. Many of us who are relatively young with certain level of astigmatism have halation / fuzzing when using dark schemes.

For many of us with astigmatism, the trend to default to dark schemes would be quite troubling. They're painfully uncomfortable irrelevant of contrast. There's fuzzing and "halation". It took me a long time to figure out

From perspective of Web Designers and Web Devs who obsess over font-rendering, the way I see it: -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; will be the default now as opposed to subpixel-antialiased. And you will no longer have control over it. S

The lesson here seems to not publicly share your trade secrets if the barrier to entry in the market are too low. Even if the idea is out there, holding off on behind-the-scenes execution details is a good idea. While most people have enoug

What's worse is that those blaming the RAM and being defensive can't even get their facts straight. Explanation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12998629

Too many factual errors in the article. Many of the comparisons state DDR3 - but DDR4 is not DDR3. > the difference of power draw between DDR3 and DDR4 is almost negligible. It's NOT. The article he's citing mentions IDLE stand

Just to clarify, that wasn't the point I was trying to make. The point is that Dell is using a much smaller battery, Windows (uses more battery in comparison to MacOS), a high-end / high TDP CPU and still managing 5 hours. Apple

Stop defending Apple using the RAM myths floating around. If Dell XPS 15 with 32GB DDR4 ram that's also thin and light can manage 5 hours battery life with a 56Whr battery, Windows, and HQ series intel processors, there's no reaso

Doesn't change the fact that Mac marketshare is around 7%. Just because they're targeting the coffee shop crowd doesn't mean everyone's using Macs.

Consider upgrading to Dell XPS 15 when it releases with Kaby Lake (expected December). The Dell XPS 13 went from 12 hours to 14 hours battery life in the Kaby Lake update.

Not entirely true. The fact is they could have used SODIMM DDR4 which is 1.2v and has a power usage close to LPDDR3 (also 1.2v). But they would have to redesign and they would lose a very few mm in thinness.
143.
by asadkn 10y ago
Any reason why they couldn't use SODIMM DDR4? It's 1.2v of DDR4 vs 1.2v of LPDDR3. I would like to see some hard facts instead of everyone simply quoting what a marketing person from Apple had to say. IMHO, it's just that the

You're not weird, but you may not feel the same way forever. Also, there's more to loneliness at an older age - that the article addresses - than just the need for social interaction.

It's frustrating for sure. And it's not as simple as everyone makes it to be. The calorie in / calorie out has a lot of variables that need adjustment. It's very important not to go on an aggressive diet but requires wor

Apple fans blow expectations way out of proportions. Apple products are fairly decent but far from perfect. Being a web dev, the only reason I use a MacBook Pro is for having a performant Photoshop without a VM. Otherwise I prefer Ubuntu du

It depends on the lag compensation of the game in question. For instance, in league of legends, you can't do a few champion combos (like Alistar's headbutt + pulverize) on a lag greater than 200ms. But enemy skills register just f

If he practiced the game living in Pakistan, he has played the game at a latency of 170-250ms. And it varies depending on the time of the day with 5-30% packet loss at peak times. The lag of ~200ms makes a huge difference when compared to p
