For some reason, this reminds me of the Mac OS 7-era Apple menu and the silly measures users would take to customize the display order of the application launcher in the Apple menu. Many Mac users of the era added leading spaces to force a

I too feel there is a generational hype cycle at HN. However, I don't see much in the way of "language N sucks" as a precursor to "everyone should use language N1!" Maybe I am just blind to the negativity, but in

That's precisely what a fully-realized Continuum experience would be. Using the latest Windows on ARM with x86 emulation and the Composable Shell (CShell) [1] would give you a great experience. Note that the Lumia 950 with the current

At least on major boulevards around my home and office, where speed limits range from 30 to 40 miles per hour (~64km/h), engine noise is dramatically more significant than tire or wind noise. These major boulevards with three to four

The 7740X retaining dominance in browser-oriented tests demonstrates the continued bottleneck we suffer due to the "single-threaded" (or nominally single-threaded) predilection of web browsers, the DOM, and JavaScript. Servo and

There is no doubt that IRV would be superior to what we use today, plurality voting. However, if we achieve the momentum necessary to reform voting in the United States, it would be a shame to squander that momentum to receive IRV rather th

I think for the reasons cited by the parent comment: the cost of repairs are higher than for other vehicles, so the incentive to file a claim is greater for a broader set of collision events. Let's say they are involved in exactly the

And to be clear, the Surface Laptop can be upgraded to Windows 10 Pro as well. Eventually that will be a $50 upgrade, but for the first year after launch, it will be a free upgrade.

Yes. And with Windows 10 on ARM's x86 emulation functionality, I would not be surprised to see broader application support in future buildf of Continuum.

Same experience here. No special setup, no SPF or DKIM, and yet no particular challenge in sending e-mail. I feel the challenges of operating a mail server are often exaggerated. But then, I don't tend to send spam.
