It just seems to display a blank blue page on browsers that don’t support WebAssembly. I tested on Safari 9 and the Nintendo 3DS browser.

Macs will suspend to RAM and write the RAM state to disk, then use the RTC to wake up 1-3 hours later and power off the RAM to save battery.[1] Resuming from disk takes 5-10 seconds while resuming from RAM takes a second, which is why OSes

To use no battery when sleeping, you'll want to configure hibernation. I haven't done this because I only suspend my laptop for 10-12 hours at a time. Also it's tricky if you're using disk encryption with a swap file. Th

Much of the degradation comes from keeping the battery at full charge for long periods of time. Apple improves long-term battery life by lying about battery percentages and only charging once the battery gets below 90-95%. There's even

I would recommend the 4k panel. 4k in a 14" screen is overkill, but compared to other options the 4k panel has a wider color gamut, higher dynamic range, and higher brightness (500 nits). You can easily use it in direct sunlight. I&#x

I have an X1 Carbon 7th gen with a 4k screen (3840x2160). I run it at 2x scaling on Wayland (sway) and I haven't had any issues with native Wayland apps. X apps are rendered at 1x and upscaled, making them blocky or blurry. Apparently

Like most PC manufacturers, Lenovo's exaggerates battery life claims. 15 hours is basically if you're idling the machine at minimum brightness with bluetooth and wifi disabled. For example: Lenovo claims that my 7th gen X1 Carbon

I can think of several other reasons: - A/B testing. - Limiting the number of articles a non-paying user can read per month. - Persisting form data and shopping cart info. (Not all sites require an account to order stuff from them.) -

It was definitely not the best information at the time. Everyone knew that masks worked, but many organizations and governments lied to the public because they didn't have enough masks. And how could anyone think that encouraging peopl

I think that argument proves too much. It can be applied in many more cases than it actually is, and I can't help but notice certain discrepancies in who gets the banhammer and who is spared. What about the dangerous misinformation reg

As I write my reply, this comment is currently grayed-out from downvotes. I find this absurd. Anyone who has read Mill knows Mill was a utilitarian. He didn't support freedom of speech for dogmatic reasons but for practical ones. Mill

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how wealth works. Wealth isn't conserved. It's created and destroyed. No billionaire has a pile of money or a bank account with $1 billion in it. Their wealth is in equity in the companie

Their wealth is not a pile of cash or a number in a bank account, it's ownership of the companies they founded. Every year, they would be forced to hand 5% of their shares over to the federal government. If such a tax were implemented

The way that most industries solve this problem is through accreditation and branding. If Apple made a test that was endorsed by Consumer Reports, you can bet good money that it's effective. The FDA & CDC shipped their own tests th

If the price of grain had fallen, the Soviet Union would have purchased it from other countries at market rates. Only after they had exhausted other countries' grain surpluses would they have bought from the US.

I really hope this works. Without some new testing technology, I just don't see how we can stop the spread of this disease. A month ago, the US did about 100,000 tests per day. Yesterday, the US did about 200,000 tests. Growth in testi

I would argue that bus drivers have a much larger impact in terms of lives lost if things go wrong, yet they have significantly lower wages and require less training. The same goes for pilots and air traffic controllers.

Wealth isn't a zero-sum game. People in the first half of the 20th century didn't give up anything to develop electricity, automobiles, air travel, etc. But if our current regulations and institutions existed back then, we'd

That only covers errors that occur inside the sproc, not errors that are caused by the sproc. For example: What if the new version of the sproc succeeds, but the data it returns causes the application code to fail in some way? The sproc met

How do you correlate those errors at the application level? If only 1% of sproc calls are the new sproc, any elevated error rates in the application will be hard to see over typical noise.

Let's say that when you deploy, you want to direct 1% of traffic to the new code, then 5%, then 25%, then 50%, and finally 100%. And if monitoring metrics go red at any point, automatically roll back. A typical canary deployment. How d

Apple will replace the battery for around $50. Though their stores are closed so you might have to send it in. Another option is to get a battery replacement kit from iFixit.[1] I did that and it doubled my SE's battery life. 1. https
