The Jetson Nano is fantastic, and I use Tensorflow on it with two home security cameras. It is a wonderful device, and deserves far more attention than it gets. I'm going to upgrade in the next week to a Jetson Xavier NX. Not because I

Do we have to choose one or the other? This seems like a false dichotomy. How about no malware/badware and optimal heat dissipation? That's the route I go. I've yet to acquire malware from a can of compressed air and a Phil

A temperature display itself probably wouldn't be of much use because the CPU will reach an operating temperature and modulate the frequencies/boost to avoid exceeding it. One user could be enjoying full performance at that temper

If airflow travels through something and you don't work in a dust free environment, it needs to be cleaned periodically. It's too bad that OS' weren't more wise to this. Right now there are certainly millions of desktops

I imagine the Windows Store gets billions in revenue, but much like Microsoft's claims about the great success of their cloud offering (where they hilariously count Office 365 as cloud revenue to compare against AWS and GCC) the over

We should note that the Windows app store is a massive failure, so Microsoft's actions as an also-ran are going to be "benevolent" and "open" because they have nothing to lose. Browse through the derelict mess that

It's Musk Syndrome -- be successful at something, to whatever degree, so think that a bit of Googling makes you an expert at everything, and that the world needs to hear your take . It's absolutely exhausting, and is easily the w

Browsing marketshare is not equivalent to marketshare. StatCounter captures browsing, and iOS users measurably browse more (for a variety of reasons - more powerful devices, more integral usage, a better experience, etc). In the US, iOS mar

No software is completely secure, and even the most junior developer operates under that assumption. Therefore everything is relative. Do you really think the Android list would be shorter, or less consequential?

Worrying development? HN has never been particularly enlightened in this respect, and has all of the same trends and superficial articles that emerge on the other networks. The illusion that it's some higher ground has never held true.

by hn_check 6y ago
That's an interesting, albeit selfish, perspective. Experienced developers usually aren't busy writing blog posts. Nor are they engaged on HN. As the old saying goes, those who can are out doing, those who can't `teach'.

Police unions are the #1 problem with the implementation of policing. They aren't even a union in any traditional sense, and have virtually no affinity with other unions. It's more like a protection racket.

Narrator- "But it actually isn't" Is there a correlation? Yup. Is it a strong correlation? It is not. And when the cited reference explicitly has noise measurements, when someone so carefully steers clear of it...yeah.
