Nothing will ever compare to the inefficient absurdity of server racks of 2013 “trash can” Mac Pros. https://9to5mac.com/2018/11/01/mac-server-room/

It’s a symbiotic relationship Yes, exactly. It's symbiotic because Apple needs apps to sell iPhones in the first place. Apple is already getting their cut of the symbiotic relationship by selling their massively profitable iPhone har

This article doesn't nearly live up to the ambitious headline. It didn't really have much to say. If anything, it doesn't even touch on the real problem facing most podcasts: the severe decline in podcast advertising revenue.

This. It's crazy how primitive the GPU development process still is in the year 2023. Yeah it's gotten better, but there's still a massive gap with traditional development.

> Apple charges 30% on your second $million Not exactly. That would be a purely progressive tax like US income taxes. With the Small Business Program, what you say is only true the first time you cross 1 mil. Assuming your revenue never

It’s not like there was some centralized decision making here. It’s possible for the two cases to be contradictory, given jury vs bench, and a whole host of other reasons. I think it’s safe to say that there’s still a long road ahead for bo

Exactly. The whole argument about security and people needing a central payment system for things to be safe user friendly is patently ridiculous given that said approach is working just fine for all the “physical items” apps.

That would be impractical and nearly impossible to do. Name even one other computing platform that works this way. Oh, wait a minute …

This disturbing conversation has been public for many years and discussed ad nauseam. I’m not defending it, but just making sure that readers of this HN post don’t think it’s breaking news. Here’s a post from 2009 discussing it: https:&#x2

Wow, all the comments and responses to that person's comments are a gold mine. Not saying anything should be taken as gospel, either from that poster or the people replying. But certainly a lot of food for thought.

Exactly. And although Substack has done a good job of building their brand, on the technical side they have pretty much zero "moat". The service they provide is incredibly simple. It never made sense as a VC-funded massive growth

Yet another reminder that account recovery is the weakest link in the security chain for online accounts. Consider all the work going into new tech such as passkeys -- none of it matters if it's possible for janky account recovery tech

I was doing some AV1 research recently and was surprised to find that there is still quite a bit of controversy about whether and how much it is still patent encumbered. In fact one of the top search hits is this HN sub-thread: https:&#x2F
