USB-C supports video out.

Does USB-C have some fundamental limitation or downside compared to HDMI? As a non-expert in HDMI or the needs of professional TV equipment, that isn't clear to me. The only thing that comes to mind is possibly increased attack surface

Ah, awesome, that was actually something I was hoping they would do (and probably suggested once or twice in some HN threads). If I can just plug the MagSafe cable into any old USB brick, that's way more convenient.

I assume they mean by comparison to what they would have gone for in an alternate timeline where Apple hadn't bungled the design in the first place. They could have released another five years of evolutionary updates to the MBPr line i

Same here. I want to use MagSafe at home and the office, not carry around a bulky bespoke charger just for one device while traveling.

I'm not commenting on whether storage expansion or video output is more important. That obviously depends on the person. I'm saying that while USB-C is an effective solution for video output, and therefore can conceivably overtake

I can live without HDMI, but it never made sense to me to put SD on the chopping block. In what sense was USB-C ever supposed to be an alternative to SD card slots? Edit: For clarity, read my reply to anamexis before responding to this.

I can live with the notch, but honestly I would pay more for an option to remove it along with the camera. For me, it really depends on how this camera compares with a standard Logitech C920. If it's as good or better then I'm fin

If the neurotransmitter dopamine is just part of the story, I would even suggest that conceptual "dopamine" is perfectly valid so long as it's understood as synecdoche rather than a literal complete description of the mechani

To clarify, was he not aware that the new feature had already been released? Or did he think the "old way" was the new feature (and that he'd simply been blocked before), thus suggesting that the urgency of his ticket was u

Google v. Oracle seems to suggest that you could do that, potentially? (IANAL.) On the other hand, the fact that Arm doesn't produce chips might be an important factor, if there's an argument that the Java API is incidental to Jav

That's a nice, succinct way to put it. Software that doesn't interact with the world can be finished. Software that does ends when the world does. I suppose then that a benefit of pure functional programming is that you can static

Another I know offhand is that "haku" is a reading of the kanji for "white" (白). What might not be apparent to most English-speakers is that "haku" is just two characters in Japanese (はく), which seems like it c

In fairness, I see no reason why anyone should be blocked from buying any drug they want, whether it be ivermectin or heroin. The consequence of this restriction is that a subset of the prospective customers will settle for a potentially (m

The premise doesn't make much sense to me in the first place. I think all religions are probably wrong, as far as their metaphysical hypotheses go. By the same logic, that should actually be more offensive than thinking that N - 1 ar

I haven't read the article yet, but how big a deal is this? Is this something that distros are likely to adopt on top of or in place of PulseAudio? Does this make any existing part of the Linux audio stack/ecosystem redundant, or

I guess this doesn't help on Windows, but with the stable release of Drive on macOS I just symlinked the volume to the location of the original directory.

"Mycoid intelligence" would be a fancier way of phrasing "mushroom intelligence" in the title, and also feels a little more natural to me given that "mushroom" isn't typically used as an adjective.

It's a shame that they missed the opportunity to coin the phrase "mycoid intelligence". dang, can we edit the title? (Just kidding about editing the title, of course.)

From the headline I had thought they were making their own variant on the git protocol. To be fair, extending, extending, and extinguishing does sound like something Microsoft might do.

I was equally confused (read the headline, asked "how is that different from RocksDB?", and then read the explanation that it was based on RocksDB), but it sounds like this is actually an alternative to Redis, not RocksDB. So the
