These Apple displays were rumored to be microLED, and I was incredibly bummed to find out they’re just an iteration of regionally-backlit LCD’s. OLED is definitely the best option for contrast, and I’ve had no luck finding an OLED monitor t

I think crypto folks generally consider the (possibly) getting rich part to be the killer feature.

The comment you’re replying to is poking fun at a gag project; but I agree with you as well. The ETH chain was about 500 gigs over the summer when I synced a full node, but it was growing fast. The amount of data stored is monotonically inc

Your wife has just re-invented gift registries! Maybe this is cultural, but in the US for baby showers and weddings, usually specific wants/needs will be compiled into a list and registered either at a specific retailer, or with a web

Blockchains are, by design, incredibly inefficient. I'm not talking about mining; take storage as an example. The consensus may be distributed, but the data is purely redundant. The majority of nodes in the network will have to hold a

While MS has Java in more than a few places, it’s a microscopic share of the codebase. Very unlikely those vulns could take an Azure service out.

I don’t think it is, at least not in my family. Cash is no more of a faux pas than a gift card, at least. I happen to think either is a pretty lame gift. Instead of a gift card to LUSH, for example, just buy me a bath bomb or whatever. Mayb

I think there's a real argument for the efficiency of outsourcing many aspects of public works projects. But I think you make a good point, that doing things in-house is sometimes the right move. Obviously this applies to more than tur

I'm not sure a slight refresh of the Notepad UI is core functionality of the OS. I don't like Windows, I actually quite despise it, but I think the rolling release approach is far better than, say, macOS' yearly dump. You end

I didn't know about the autocomplete, that is really helpful; and I'm excited to see `ls` PR'd! Huge thanks to the contributors. I think some of my cache misses were a rookie mistake: I was building a few expensive targets on

I understand why stablecoins exist, but doesn’t an operation like Tether go against the decentralization goal of “crypto”? The fact that the ecosystem has become dependent on these types of players is interesting to me. Why hasn’t the commu

I love earthly! It has been a joy to use. One thing I haven’t gotten right is caching. Some of my builds have targets they depend on that are very expensive but rarely change, and I haven’t been able to make sense of when those targets are

I have to agree, I would guess that the interviewer could tell the OP was nervous and was trying to lighten the mood a bit. Though, asking someone to write a language they don't use everyday is a pretty horrific thing to do in an inter

Sure, but the point is also to render said ASCII into something a bit more slick and dynamic. These editors let you work with the underlying markup, while showing you the final product. In fact, this is the way I wished all word processors

I’ve seen what you’re describing, but it’s far from universal. Most TV’s (like monitors) primarily exist in a standby mode and light up within a second or two, especially at the upper end of the market.

by cmckn 5y ago
If you’d buy any TV after searching for only 45 minutes, we’re just different types of consumers. Which is fine! But I really like A/V, and I care primarily about the audio and visuals, not so much the politics of the thing.

My Bravia runs Android TV, which I legitimately have not seen even one frame of in over 2 years. There is a spectrum of the kind of thing you’re describing. I wouldn’t buy a Samsung for that reason. But it’s not like all smart TV’s are dyst

As I said, I think it’s a fair question. But having shopped for a TV in the last 18 months, you get a worse TV if “dumb” is your goal. I mean the giant colorful thing showing your content is worse, in the products without smarts. It is what

Look, I think it’s a legitimate question, and I’m not thrilled about most “smart” TV operating systems. But why pigeonhole your search like this? You will almost certainly end up with a worse actual display, which is what you’re spending th
