That's assuming there is a git repo or any kind of version control at all.

It’s still pretty impressive that they pulled off a basically seamless architecture transition. M1 + Rosetta 2 just works so well it’s hard to even tell the difference much of the time.

It’s incredibly disappointing that in 2021 booting from a microSD card is still the norm for nearly all of the SBCs on the market. Proper mSATA (and even NVME) SSDs have gotten unbelievably cheap in the last couple years. It’s at the point

Apple aren’t actually designing its own sensors, are they? I expected they would be using an off the shelf Sony sensor just like (most) everyone else. I generally disagree with your premise here. Yes, you can do some pretty amazing things w

Absolutely this — I’ve had several MacBooks that ended up costing me less than $150 per year after I upgraded and resold them years later.

This is exactly what people mean when they say “fake news” in many cases. Not that the facts of a story are technically incorrect, but the way things are presented (or not presented) is intentionally designed to shift the readers perspectiv

I honestly don’t understand how this is still an issue with Bluetooth devices in 2020. Why is there no lossless duplex audio profile / codec available at this point?

It’s not a cafeteria — it’s literally a set of tents that were erected fifty feet from this restaurant owners own outdoor tent. It’s not logical at all.

They didn’t do “nothing”. They gave guidance based on the data that was available and allowed individuals to make their own decisions on what course of action was best for them. A large subset of the population in the US is (rightly IMO) no

Is anyone on HN actively using this? I’ve had a hard time understanding what exactly I would use it for or what purpose it would serve beyond what integrations Home Assistant (for example) already provides.

Well if we’re going to go that route, maybe it should be called “synthetic chicken”.

This is tangential, but I came across an interesting paper from 2012 on the usage of face masks in Japan. I had preconceived notions that the prevalence of mask use in Japan was solely driven by collectivist culture. If nothing else, this w

Do the Intel MBPs actually thermal throttle any faster than similar Windows laptops? As I recall the thermal performance on something like the XPS 13 isn’t much better.

You say that as if Apple hasn’t been delivering yearly performance improvements in their SoCs like clockwork. They’ve roughly tripled the performance in the last five years between the A9 and A14. AMD has done a great job with Zen 3 in part

Why do it locally when most modern repository software (GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, etc) can do it for you when a PR is merged? My point of view is that if work is being done on an individual feature or bug fix, having a view of the individu

Completely agreed — squashing commits isn’t desirable in every circumstance, but if all the commits pertain to a single feature then it makes complete sense to me.

It’s hard to find any directly comparable benchmarks, but I wouldn’t be so sure that it’s actually faster than the CPU in the Raspberry Pi 4.
