Turning off wi-fi isn't enough. Like many Samsung smart TVs, a Small Child will cycle through all access points in range if its configured network doesn't have internet connectivity.

I have an i9-12900K (same gen desktop chip) that is self-reporting ~15W idle. I would be pretty surprised if their mobile chip didn't scale lower than that.

Interesting. I bought the original model when it was new and I've been happy with it. I always just viewed it as something that was inherently risky, but worth it. The board does have a way of "communicating" with you when yo

But was there actually any defect? Anyone can claim anything in a lawsuit.

This feature is built-in to all the JetBrains IDEs. Right-click your project, open Local History, and you can diff any file at any two points in time. That's saved my bacon more than once.

That's true, but that doesn't mean you should use it everywhere. Using Three.js to render a single quad is like using Rust+WASM to add two numbers.

I would expect the stability guarantee to cover outputting _something_ human-readable, and that's it. If you want to parse the output, I would scope that under a separate feature such as `-Z timings-json`. This is similar to error mess

Going by feel, same as when I have a giant function I decide to split up. IIRC the crates ended up between 1k-10k LOC

I did it by hand. It's a mostly mechanical transformation, so in theory it could be automated, but I've never seen an automated refactor for any language that can e.g. take a giant file and decide how to split it up into 5 smaller

I've always wondered why useful flags like `-Z timings` are not available on stable. I guess they're worried about the output changing in a future stable release, but I don't think anyone would expect the reports to look exac

I once had a similar project to OP that took 30 seconds to compile a one-line change (albeit on a 10-year-old CPU). I split it into about 7 crates, and got compiles down to 3 seconds. Since then I'm always vigilant about keeping crates

Raymond Chen is a great writer. He writes about the driest topics on earth, but still manages to make it entertaining. Definitely one of my favorite blogs.

I think you're right, but we're looking at this from opposite angles. We can never stop people trying to make spam calls, because human nature. At the same time, I don't think it's a desirable design goal to have a commu

Phone service is an oligopoly. Spectrum is sold by the government and it is EXPENSIVE. No new companies can join the market, and customers have nowhere to go. So prices are high and companies do the bare minimum. Email is more of a fair mar

I don't think it's even a rewrite. It looks like algorithmically-generated blogspam. Look at the conspicuously capitalized "DuckDuckGo Mac Version Coming Soon" line, and the flipped header image. I'm not sure if HN

The browser built-in options are too limited. I want to do these things: - Use multiple browsers - Sync even if <browser vendor> screws you over and terminates your account - Store things other than passwords. Credit card numbers, PGP

Use any service you want, Syncthing, Dropbox, etc. Keepass is smart about saving. If the DB is modified in the background while it's open, it will merge your changes rather than overwrite.

You're right that Windows 10 is "generally okay" on an old CPU, even for relatively heavy dev work. But I just upgraded from i7-3770k to i9-12900k and it made me realize how much time I spent _waiting_ for every little thing.

I got halfway through and a newsletter signup modal interrupted me and wouldn't close. Good thing I know CSS or I couldn't have finished reading. So much for being anti-mimetic and bucking the trends.

I mean sure, in an ideal world one Java should work for everything. In practice, there are too many things that can go wrong with untested combinations. For better or worse, the world is moving towards bundled dependencies (Snap, Flatpak, D
