14 inch, running primarily IntelliJ IDEA and Firefox. Around 10% CPU use most of the time, with of course the occasional spike for compilation. It's not hot , but with 22C ambient it is enough of a rise to be annoying.

Unironically, yes. My M3 Macbook Pro's palm rests get uncomfortably warm during regular IDE use. It doesn't get hot enough to spin up a fan, but it is enough to be distracting.

The problem is that it isn't just an "edge case" in the constitution - the whole thing is fundamentally flawed from the very beginning. The US isn't going to be trustworthy until it manages to reshape itself into a prope

Sure, but it isn't completely wrong either. GH going down used to be quite rare. If it failed to load I'd spend a bunch of time trying to figure out what was wrong with my internet connection, just to read on HN that it was down

Most apps are cross-platform. If you're already required to do it on Android, going out of your way to avoid it on iOS doesn't make a lot of sense.

It's even more complicated: the datacenter and the servers are owned and operated by the government, and the DigiD app itself is owned and operated by government-owned Logius. From what I have been able to deduce, Solvinity is contract

Perhaps "light manufacturing" is the wrong classification for this kind of business, then. Most of their neighbors are distribution warehouses, or companies doing machining or sheet metal pressing - if you ask me those are more in

It isn't 1970 anymore. You can get 32-bit ARM MCUs with tens of kilobytes of flash and multiple kilobytes of RAM for less than 10 cents. We've long since reached a point where chips are cheap enough to be disposable. They are incl

That's why we write C instead of assembly, isn't it? You could also mandate that a compiler for architectures without unaligned access either has to prove that the access is going to be aligned or insert a wrapper to turn the unal

The problem is that the function call as a whole is UB. Having the original example compile to the equivalent of volatile int x; int a = x; int b = x; printf("%x %d\n", a, b); is equally valid as volatile int x;

The problem is that a lot of the flexibility introduced by UB doesn't serve the developer . Take signed integer overflow, for example. Making it UB might've made sense in the 1970s when PDP-1 owners would've started a fight

The main issue I kept running into with Haskell is that the machinery feels haphazardly implemented. Sure, the concept of a monoid makes sense, but (at least a few years ago) why isn't a Haskell monoid defined as an extension of a semi
