Well, it's a 3-page proof written by a medical doctor. I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

Sadly, nothing here to dethrone the ultra-power-efficient N100/N150.

Well, you're not wrong about novelty being a much rarer thing in the past but people rarely drove alone in total silence. 8-tracks and cassettes came along eventually but even before then, people listened to the radio which had a wide

Less-than-fully-reputable shared hosting providers have been doing a variation on this for decades. Although normally in the form of a pop-up or banner at the top of the page. When I worked for a hosting provider, an overdue account would g

You might be misunderstanding, you said in your comment: > I believe Microsoft builds VS Code releases by building VS Codium, and then adding in their own branded features This part isn't true, MS and VSCodium both build their relea

I guess I'm surprised that Android would allow one app to read/manage/block notifications from all other apps. I mean, I'm happy to have that kind of control over my phone, but it also seems like it could be viewed as a

A question I didn't see answered on the Web site or in the comments... How does it determine what is "state"? Packages are easy, you just get a list of those with the package manager. I guess systemd lists services. But what

It's just the price of progress. When I started playing with Linux, a full fledged Linux desktop with web browser and all ran very happily on a machine with 16 megabytes of RAM. At the time, there were distributions that fit on a flopp

I often go to YouTube to find teardowns and repair instructions. One thing I have run across is this niche where some guy out gal repairs something very slowly, over the course of an hour or two, with the mic gain cranked way up even though

I've done some of this but would like to do more. Are you hiring?

I love this so much. It's like the El Reg editors got turned loose on HN headlines.

It's not page rendering issues, usually, since Firefox and Chrome pretty much support all the same things. What you run into the most is the website saying, hey, it looks like you are not using a browser we have tested against, so we a

Growing up, the Sega Channel was something I desperately wanted as a kid. Unfortunately, I did not have a Genesis, we did not have cable TV, and our parents would have balked at spending $40/month (adjusted for inflation) on a service

Kudos to the author(s) for advertising the project as open source while also actually being open source. Rare to see these days. Largely this seems to be Yet Another LLM UI, but I'm curious what the extensions are good for? Doesn'

It's not exactly 3d printing but Bad Obsession Motorsports took a small mill, stuck a hot end into the tool holder, fed solder instead of filament into it, and "printed" traces onto a blank PC board. I thought it was pretty c

Yep, but this comes with a tradeoff: all of your services now have a valid key/cert for your whole domain, significantly increasing the blast radius if one service is compromised.

Are you trying to imply that someone would actually lie in an advertisement or marketing campaign?

I guess the author doesn't hang out on Reddit much. A lot of the tech hobbyist subs I used to enjoy are now nothing but a flood of self-promotional marketing posts for vibe coded apps.

And Emerson has for a LONG time been just an American brand on the cheapest Chinese electronics your money can buy. The whole article is pretty terrible.

Maybe that's how it should work, but it's not how it actually works. The culture makes the company. Everyone on the lower rungs of the org chart knows this, because it's what they live and breathe every day. A positive, suppo

I used to follow a few personal finance and FIRE subs. Pretty much all of them had surprising number of creative writing exercises too: "I just inherited $10 million from a dead relative I never knew, what should I do?" Or: "

I don't see a contributor licensing agreement (CLA), so you may be right. (I personally choose not to contribute to projects with CLAs, I don't want my contributions to become closed-source in the future.)

Interesting! I like the relative simplicity and durability guarantees. I can see using this for dev and proof of concept. Or in situations where HA/RAID are handled lower in the stack. What is the performance like for reads, writes, an

You have a lot more perseverance than I do. I would have opened up an AWS or GCP account after step one. I'm the one with the money and any company that makes it difficult for me to give it to them isn't worth my time.
