Whether or not it's actually impressive is irrelevant, the point was that more people than usual were just making random things up about it.

If the proposed solutions weren't bizarre, modernist, and over-engineered then it wouldn't be Hacker News

I think this is the most made-up, arrogant comments I've seen on a post that haven't even taken a glance at the actual content. People all over asserting that it is has been done in special software, that there's typos everyw

No, because for macs it’s a bug, while for dells it’s literally the engineered behaviour of the device

So your justification for Dell voiding warranty upon putting the laptop in the bag on standby is that reads notes Apple...does not void the warranty, and that it is somehow virtuous to explicitly void warranty instead of honouring warrant

You can turn power nap off, and "some macs have issues" is _very_ different from Dell saying "if you put it in your bag on standby it voids your warranty".

I've never had any of that happen with either of my $1000 MacBook Pros, from 2013 and 2017 respectively. Now I just got a 2020 M1 MBP, we'll see how that goes but it seems great so far

I guess it's difficult when you don't control the full stack. Windows is a bit of a mess nowadays to be honest, you will probably get better luck with a linux laptop

Yes, I have noticed this too. Still, to me that is very minor compared to some people's descriptions of literally red hot XPS's in their backpacks here...

I agree, you're going to get downvoted but it's just true. This _is_ why people use MacBooks. It just isn't the same experience in other cases, especially now with the extreme quietness and performance of M1, but even before

Not going to lie but Apple have put pretty high standards on what people expect to work with all laptops nowadays, and many OEMs seem unable or unwilling to try to catch up.

Exact same thing happened to me too

I don’t understand why Apple’s developer documentation is so terrible

I honestly used to get quite annoyed at repetitions, especially if they had annoying vocal samples

I used to listen to a lot of lofi hip hop but nowadays I've switched more to some Techno mixes from people local in Hamburg

Definitely agree, it's just not a good look.

This is highly irrelevant to the post you replied to.

I have this watch. My wife spent weeks trying to sell it on Facebook marketplace but they kept insisting it was an inappropriate item even after human intervention. I know it has connections with IEDs and terrorism, so I wonder if it is rel

My life is comfortable and my work is fulfilling in itself. I'm not working _just_ to pay that. Trust me, I don't want to not have to work at all. I am a scientist though so of course for many it is nothing like that; I am in a ve

What has that got to do with me saying I can afford to spend that much on rent?
231.
by joeberon 5y ago
Okay, cool, I agree that trying to live in this world can suck. Not sure how that's relevant to this discussion though.

by joeberon 5y ago
I'm not sure what you're getting at. Sure, I don't like landlords as a "profession", but on the other hand it is not unaffordable, which was the point in the article. It is a mistake to conflate whether or not it is

That kind of thing is very common with many kinds of mixtures in Germany, especially apple juice unsurprisingly :) but really all kinds of things. I was shocked because in the UK it is very uncommon to see such a thing. I remember having so

Yeah that's really low. I just moved to Hamburg as a postdoctoral researcher and our international housing office said to expect to spend around 60% of our salary on rent. Then again rent here includes heating which changes it a little

Yes I definitely think the weird scrolling experience in threads is a huge issue for me. I am often in the thread and just have no intuitive feeling where I am. I return to a previous comment and then I don't remember where I was becau

I have to agree. No idea what it is, but I just really don't enjoy using it at all. I find it quite disorientating. Would be interesting to see someone do a blog post on why that happens. It's honestly bad enough that I simply fin

It's the toolboxes and also SIMULINK. SIMULINK + Signal Processing Toolbox + Control Systems Toolbox is incredibly powerful for Physics and I don't think free implementations really touch that

Yeah, it makes sense to me to translate "sustenance bread" as "daily bread"

Node.js already has a pretty extensive standard library though, sure not quite Python but still much more than C
