Same here. Running some ancient OS/software in a VM can be pretty satisfying though, especially since I don't have a whole lot of space for physical hardware. Many games wouldn't work well in a VM, of course, there's no

That anecdote applies to more than locksmiths or tech. A MacBook repair shop may replace a $0.50 transistor, but charge $200+. What you're paying for is the knowledge and experience in identifying and solving the problem. It's unf

This. It just seems really special to be sharing the film with photons that made a journey of many, many light-years to reach it too.

This is a great step-up for companies using AWS here in SA. On a personal note, my latency for my personal site will drop from ~170ms (eu-west-2) to ~3ms!

I first discovered Game of Life during high school, and it got me fascinated about different cellular automata and writing software implementations of them. RIP John Conway.

It's quite easy to get System Preferences to ignore the update [0]. Ignoring Catalina isn't a long-term solution, but is pretty much a necessity for many right now. [0] https://www.macworld.com/article/3447396

One of my Computer Science lecturers had a rule: use Vim for all development for his class whilst on campus, and if caught using any other editor/IDE – or committing any artifacts showing evidence of such – we would lose several percen

From the perspective of a relatively new HNer, this sort of comment further reinforces how great the community can be, in a meta-sort of way!

This is fascinating that some manufacturers may have gone down this Darwinian path in "improving" their products. Is there any such law against this or any efforts in introducing such laws, either in Norway or elsewhere?

It's 100,000,000 represented in scientific notation. In this context, a $100M company. 1E8 = 1 * 10^8 = 100,000,000 (xEy = x * 10^y).

This looks awesome, great project! Which specific CPUs or applications that you emulate really take advantage of the performance boost that WASM provides?

There are some very cool demos, such as running Doom 3 in the browser [0], but as for actual good success stories, I'd be willing to bet that many teams just haven't seriously considered it for large or involved projects due to it

This is pretty cool! I probably would have never discovered graph-easy if it weren't for this. One thing though, it doesn't handle errors that nicely, e.g. for input "a" it outputs "null". Nitpicking aside, it&

This is really sad to hear. I hope that we're capable of restoring their habitat to a reasonable extent, and that the natural population subsequently rises up again.

Instagram is already working on this, with their new video editing tool Reels [1]. It'll be very interesting to see if these other big players can catch up though, given TikTok's massive numbers. [1] https://www.theverg

I'm surprised that they moderate every video with over 50-150 views, that seems quite unique in this market. This is probably largely a good thing though given the target market of kids/teenagers. It's already very interest

I'm amazed Tesla went ahead and used easily guessable and unchangeable passwords. It's just such a trivial and obvious issue that it seems strange Tesla engineers let this happen. I wonder if this was an off-the-shelf solution the

Not sure whether to be relieved or concerned that this MBP isn't part of their extended keyboard repair program, but I'm leaning towards the former.
