Apple actually is making M-series servers for their own internal use now—but it doesn't seem like they're intended for direct sales at all, disappointingly. https://www.tomshardware.com/desktops/servers/a

As another STL resident, fireworks are illegal everywhere in the County (not sure if St. Charles as well, but probably), and our local muni PD even sent out multiple warnings about prosecution. But our inner ring suburb was similarly full o

A modern author who's fairly good in this regard is Andy Weir; the main thing is you have to do a ton of research while writing and have trusted sources (I think Clancy had many) to rely on when mulling over the details. The tough thin

Nebula's value proposition for invited creators is dubious at best, too. They also require an off-YouTube exclusivity contract, which was especially no bueno for me.

$4,300-$6,000+, wow you're not wrong. And that's just 32 or 64 GB of RAM.

I buy physical media, and immediately rip it to my Jellyfin library. The disc goes into a big case logic cd case, and the digital file gets backed up to two other places so there's almost an infinitesimally small chance I lose access t

If the whole thing were metal, the outer casing would transfer heat to skin too quickly, probably, for safety.

Especially on the Pi 5, which has no hardware encoder to save on power consumption for that task. It's entirely in the CPU. (Technically the Pi 4's hw encoder doesn't go up to 4K either, though, so I guess moot point).

I do wish there were something like Oculink, but with power available over the connector. USB-C does almost everything, but it seems the chips to break out PCIe lanes for USB4/Thunderbolt for higher speed devices are still a significan

Thunderbolt hubs are rather amazing now; in the past they'd either get super hot and have reliability issues, or had severe bandwidth limitations (especially if using larger displays). The current crop has been great for my needs — a c

Thank you for your work on it! I love that I can browse most of the modern web on G4 and G5 Macs still.

If your entire goal is to create a standard... it seems like giving anyone access to the materials needed to _adhere_ to said standard is prerequisite. Unless the goal is not to create standards, but instead to control access to said standa

I don't understand why any standards body would consider not doing this as a default.

GPS uses atomic clocks, not sure why we'd need something more precise for a timing reference on any other satellite system, unless you wanted to get like millimeter-level accuracy using nothing but satellites (and that would require a

I think that's an optimistic take; the load bearing portion hasn't permeated traditional development. Like so many things popular on HN, the tools that are here are great aids for good development processes and practitioners... bu

Yes, I remember the GPS post, but somehow missed this one the first go-round. I love how HN can resurface an old post deserving of a few re-posts.

I care about paying for my mortgage, sustaining my work, supporting my family... it's how I make a living. Again, my blog is made for the more technical audience. With Google diverting search traffic away, there's about a 1:1,000
