I'm not sure how I feel about conflating audio-book consumption with reading. In my experience, when I listen to a book it goes in one ear and out the other; any studies that show information retention between the two?

I think this is an extremely uncharitable interpretation of the reality lived by Strauss and his contemporaries. I guess there's an argument to be made that the West's hawkishness isn't de facto moral (though there's a l

For example, `response` can't ever be null (even though it would be totally expected to if the request borks) due to the fact that under the hood, you're dealing with a promise (probably the most boneheaded implementation of async

The async/await design is absolute garbage and no one will ever convince me otherwise. `fetch` is a particularly egregious example: it has all kinds of insane random quirks that you need to memorize. For example, how do I handle an err

Looked up the cited spec[0] and the relevant codes are on page 53[1]. If you send `00000010` it should delete the previous SMS. Pretty cool. Of course, this only happens if the device respects the spec (looks like the receipt of deletion, i

I'd say that existence not being a predicate of any object is kind of non-debatable :)

> Arc-Mutex yes, Arc-Box no. Yeah, looks like Arc-Box is kind of pointless, but isn't there some thread locality reason why people wrap `Box` in `Arc`? I remember reading something about it a while ago but maybe I'm misremember

I found the source code of the macro cited[1][2] way more interesting than the article. It's not that big of a deal to find where compilation error counts are incremented in the compiler and just, you know, not increment them. The macr

Feels like Apple is really tempting fate at this point. They essentially won v. Epic (as of yesterday, SCOTUS rejected the appeal). I'm not sure why they feel so emboldened to add a 27% tax on web purchases as well. Completely wild,

I feel like the R1 is getting a lot of weird hate here on HN. I get it, it's a bit pretentious and wants to be very Apple-like, yadda yadda. Probably not that much value generation, it's overpriced, and no one wants to carry anoth

I kind of agree with this. I'm not sure why the product is getting so much heat here on HN. I do think it's probably overkill and won't be super sticky, but it's at least iterating in the right direction.

The distinction is getting more and more fuzzy, so this is almost a meaningless point (as is GGP). It's very vendor-specific, let alone that I'm pretty sure Spectre attacks can work across VMs.

It's typical AI cope. Every time I ask for a specific example that does something mind-blowing (whether it's Copilot or ChatGPT, or whatever), it's always ignored. I've tried using both ChatGPT and Copilot for coding.

This is a much larger discussion, and it's not as easy as adding headings, subheadings, etc. to your comments. There has been a clear cultural shift against writing comments and properly documenting code. This is probably due to seve

I was going to trade in my M1 Pro for an M3 Pro (I love the black), but I'm seriously getting second thoughts. I guess you can make a product that's just too good, after all. Might keep my M1 until the M4 or M5 Pro.
