This is where I try to buy most of my electronic equipment now. The shipping is quite fast to my location (faster than Amazon Prime) and the prices are usually pretty competitive.

Modern standby is an absolute disaster. It is shameful that the industry adopted and pushes this now.

i would not say it's "exactly HN". lobste.rs articles are much more programming focused. majority of posts you find on HN you would not find on lobste.rs which is fine, if that's what you want, but, as a daily reader of

I enjoy that most instances are small and will remain that way. There are a few that may grow to the point where scaling could become difficult, but there are ways to combat that. What the author sees as problems with mastodon (decentraliza

I went Kubuntu, even on my gaming PC, decided to cut my losses as far as any games that don't work, and it has been worth it. I'll never return to Windows. Proton + Steam + Heroic has made so many games easily playable and install

Yeah the fact that the large transfer to Tides happened at the same time that the Tides CEO became General Counsel for Wikimedia seems pretty gross (and I say this as someone that in general would agree with Tides' mission otherwise) T

This is one of those things where I think there are 2 or 3 layers of math concepts above the concept of isogeny that I have to understand before I can understand isogenies. I tried following a trail upwards from isogeny and most of the re

Nah, enterprise servers often can idle 200W+ easily. I know from experience. Current Dells pull that much without even an OS installed, just sitting idle at a boot screen.

At least cosmetics do not affect the gameplay or fairness in any way. I think that's an important distinction to make. In Diablo Immortal you're paying for actual gear or items that help enhance that gear. I have no problem with p

This is why I've slowly moved off of Google products altogether (Gmail, Drive, etc). I still use YT Premium / YT Music but am now thinking I will get rid of these too. I will just block ads (no longer have any "smart devices&

You don't have to involve yourself with the social-media side of YT at all, though. It is optional. I curate my subscription list and don't browse any discover-type feeds or anything and only see content from channels to which I a

It is amusing that the replies/suggestions to your post recommend multiple different AWS solutions instead of Beanstalk. Definitely confirms the problem of AWS having a confusing amount of overlapping products

I agree with the Internet Archive on philosophical/ideological grounds and support their actions overall... _However_, they have to operate under the same BS everyone else does, so it seems naïve for them to take reckless actions that

I use Gnucash essentially as a manual-entry glorified digital checkbook/register. I used to do it on paper for the longest time- it's how I was taught and my bank took a long time to modernize. I don't know that I still need

Yes, how dare one site inspire another to make something similar. Not sure how that automatically makes it untrustworthy... would rather have more players in the minimal blog space than only one or two

Oh wow, I didn't realize it worked seamlessly with file systems like this. Definitely considering this now.

Yes! I think two things with code examples have a significant impact, at least for me personally- 1) the examples are complete and work and 2) line-by-line explanation. A lot of resources show a snippet of code, followed by an impenetra

My favorite part is the heavily commented code examples. Those are much more useful for increasing my understanding than most other resources. To me, that level of information density just works better for my brain than articles or sites th

I'll give you my anecdotal experience with a TV that has Amazon's FireTV built-in. It is disconnected from any network. It allowed me to set a setting that says "remember last input" so it always looks at a particular HD

They already have the evidence- at least on some of these. Three of the phtalates they've already banned previously in children's toys are part of the nine that they're continuing to allow for use in food packaging

PorkBun is definitely my go-to choice. I've used Namecheap and Hover previously, but PorkBun has been the best experience overall. A very no-BS experience.

The fact that the only way this issue is even remotely getting looked at is because of an HN post that an FB staffer happens to see is ridiculous and businesses shouldn't _even be allowed to operate_ at the scale FB does without having

From a few searches it seems like in terms of ARM performance it is something like "3x the performance of an RPi4" or, in Geekbench 5, looks like it hits roughly approximate (just a touch lower than) something like an i7-4770S (bu
