When I had the first generation MacBook 12", people wouldn't even believe that it was not a mechanical click when you told them. I often had to turn the machine off to convince them that it is fake. Which I would happily do to s

It's cool that Apple made a cheap phone, but what I actually wanted was a small phone and price wasn't that relevant. I liked small form factors more as well (though I am on an XS now). However, the ATP folks correctly pointed o

I don't know. People do not take cameras with them anymore and the SE 2020's camera system is much better than that of the 6s. So, if you have the money, I think that is worth the new SE alone. Apart from that, I agree that the 6s

It's a shame that they do not have a cheap baseline Mac anymore. When I was in college, I bought my first Mac (2007). I didn't have a lot of money, but I bought a Mac Mini for 499 Euro or thereabouts. It was also relatively chea

I have written a transformer-based (BERT, XLM-RoBERTa) sequence labeler/lemmatizer/dependency parser in Rust with tch-rs [1] and it is great! Some parts do not feel rusty. E.g. dynamic typing of tensors, you get a Tensor rather

Am I too demanding? I went from iPhone (4 years) -> Android (3 years) -> iPhone (4 years), plus I used a stock Android phone for a month a while ago when I soaked my iPhone SE. I don't really see that point. For me they are abo

There is a big difference in that WSL1 only needed to implement Linux syscalls, they could use glibc and all other libraries from the Linux distribution that you are running, whereas Wine needs to reimplement all Windows APIs to work with m

Then 10.6 optimized the entire OS when I was surprised that a new OS release actually required less disk space to install and more performant on a same hardware. This was nice, though it has to be said that the disk space reduction was no

The problem is that you are really dependent in what other people in your address range do. One malicious user in the same DC could reduce the reputation of an address range and then you get mail delivery problems. I'd rather pay someo

I guess that the task is really underspecified (maybe intentionally to have different speed runs). It makes a huge difference whether you have a kernel with a TCP/IP stack, a C compiler, a C library with the socket API, etc. The point

Indeed. The problem was 10.15.4 to start with. One reason to roll out the supplemental update was because 10.15.4 broke Facetime compatibility with older iOS and macOS versions (which is particularly bad in the current crisis). Maybe they s

The average Linux user will not understand the implications. Heck most don't even know the security trade-offs of X11 (which are relatively simple to discover and understand). Leave the HN bubble and go to an average Linux forum. You w

As Cyberdog says, the hoop is that a lot of regular users do not know about. Moreover, signatures and notarization are there for a reason. Code signing makes it more likely that the bundle was not tampered with. Apple can revoke the certifi

Except that it hasn't been a problem for years on e.g. GNOME. X11 applications work fine and are not blurry. They generally use 2x scaling. Only old Gtk2+ applications such as Inkscape and GIMP have small icons, but there is probably a

Isn't Jitsi co-developed/sponsored by 8x8? An Apple developer account costs 99 per year. If the money is a problem, a lot of people would probably donate some amount if that helps getting signed releases. At any rate, I think havi
