I sometimes think of how Earth is so OLD. It’s a third of the age of the Universe. That is just mind boggling. While I have trouble mentally grasping ages on the magnitude “billions”, I do know what a third is. It’s a very sizable chunk. An

Extensive GitHub use with Node? Sounds like GitHub Codespaces ought to be up his alley. https://github.com/features/codespaces

Cheap, slow (as an operating system medium at least), and unreliable. They're the modern day floppy disk. The one upside is that the space is cheap and quite plentiful.

It's a scary power for sure, given how centralized around a few services to have a voice that the Internet has become. Of course, there are more resilient solutions like Mastodon or even Darknet but they are geek solutions that the pub

I think the web is already the corporate-agnostic way to do apps in. If they lack some device features I think this is a technical limitation and a different topic. Things have got so much better in that regard already in just the last 5-10

The MiSTer can do this. It can do MC68020 and will meet and surpass A1200 performance with AGA, and RTG graphics support is in fact there as perhaps the most recent major update. Yes, in 16 bit color and all with very good performance. And

This looks like it was written with the intent to “win” the simplicity battle in mind. Nothing on interfaces or goroutines.

I'd look at the algorithms here. Looking a bit fishy with sometimes quite serious differences...

The article is from 2007, right in the middle of Ballmer's lead when I think the writing on the wall seemed much different from today. :) Hell, didn't the Microsoft stock take a jump when Ballmer left before investors even knew wh

Strange how neither Periscope nor Vine, both getting pretty popular early on (lots of celebrities used Vine and Twitter were getting quite some traction) are now no more. Meanwhile Musicaly/TikTok did the basically same once more, and

I think it is a new attempt at AMP? AMP 2.0? But I also think this one will be killed in a few years. A big point with stories is to have you publish them to the friends _who care_ in a network. A social network. A user googling to get to a

For some reason Microsoft keeps doing dark themes like this. Same in Windows 10. Pitch black against text. Do they even let designers do this job or is it just devs checking in code? A designer should know about these things by heart.

Agreed — don’t use the default subreddits. They’re cancer. But I’ve had a great time at the Formula1 subreddit and people are crazy at MechanicalKeyboards. I’m sure you’ll love a knitting group if you enjoy that. Go by your specific interes

Not sure some here are missing his point but I think he isn’t talking about Windows or macOS, but Linux and even then not necessarily as a stand-alone OS but in a dual boot scenario too.

I'm not sure if this is great or crazy! I try to not be swayed by the handpicked examples because this at least _feels_ like a design that could get messy once you try to do the particularly gnarly regexeps that this library claims it

Microsoft's x86 emulation on ARM is nothing like this, which is what is so surprising.

I think that would be this one: http://tinycorelinux.net/12.x/aarch64/releases/RPi/ Note how there are ports on this page but it doesn't seem to be updated well. The Raspberry Pi links lead to ARMv6

So it basically excels at everything but cryptography where it's terrible in comparison. I found this a little interesting because it should have custom hardware specifically for this (i.e. an AES engine which is what's being benc

I honestly don't think an unstable airframe 100% relying on proper pilot education synchronized with software feels great. But I must also admit that I'm not sure if this is the norm nowadays as aircraft keep being pushed for high

Apple has already launched the Macbook Pro 13" M1 which does come with a fan for probably less throttling. The 16" version wasn't updated so I'm thinking they're planning something special for those.

It's a radical decision yes, but also so very Apple-like. And I wonder how much of this wild architecture change is also behind the improved performance here.

I thought the issue leading to this was AVIF decoding complexity but the goal of this project is apparently roughly parity with AVIF decoding performance. Is encoding performance of still images such a big deal? I thought these problems wer

I'm thinking of buying the Raspberry Pi 400 and I see Ubuntu MATE indeed has a 64-bit Raspberry Pi port. While the "400" apparently has some compatibility issues in some scenarios, it's essentially a higher clocked Pi 4.

Yes, and someone commented later that A14 does have virtualization in hardware so this issue might actually be fixable in software?

I find it frustrating because it looks like there are two sides of Microsoft. One helming Windows 10 and another doing the impressive Visual Studio Code, PowerShell Core, .NET Core work etc. where they go like "Hey maybe we should buil

That Air will sell so well. Many don't even want to pay for the MacBook Pro's Touch Bar and many will probably see an Air's fanless design as an advantage over Pro, even if its CPU is throttled a little more often in sustaine

For how often they repeated "faster", I was surprised to see them announce no benchmarks with some sort of baseline or context. Fast than what at doing what?

I thought this was illegal and why the third party cartridge market is so big. Anyway, I wouldn't recommend inkjet printers for normal home users: for plain text, I'd use a B&W laserjet printer and if I had to print in color (
