Wistron isn't "some supplier that almost exclusively supplies to Apple". They also manufacture electronics for Microsoft, Dell, Lenovo, Motorola. Originally, they were Acer's production arm. Lots of things about how work

NASA's budget is almost three times the size ($22.6bn vs €6.68bn, which is approximately $8bn). ESA gets quite a lot done per Euro invested. It's just really hard to convince the member nations to pay for a good PR team.

libstdc++ also has a debug mode with bounds checking etc, although you have to enable it by defining _GLIBCXX_DEBUG: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/debug_mode.h...

Nah, there are cable companies that offer 50 mbps upstream, and the DOCSIS 3.1 standard that's currently in use supports much more. They're just stingy.

The comment I was responding to was talking about screen size and only screen size. Your points may all be true (except that it has much more space for cooling than a laptop, which has significant effects on noise and sustained performanc

The Mac Mini is a desktop computer, it's just much smaller than your typical desktop tower. It doesn't have a screen or keyboard built-in. It's not a laptop. It's a box you connect your screen to. How is this relevant?

OVH's kimsufi series ( https://www.kimsufi.com/ ) has very cheap dedicated servers. I have a KS-2 and am quite happy with it. The servers are very low-end and have old hardware, though. Not a problem for me but you shoul

But can't you just download larger chunks over whatever connection you have? Or is it common for internet connects in (I assume) the US to be so bad that you can't download a 20GB or 50GB file without errors?

This doesn't mirror my experience at all, and I think blaming it on fanboys isn't fair. I used Google Takeout recently, had it set to split into 50GB tar.gz chunks, and it worked perfectly fine. I wasn't logged out once, and

That the initial comment was downvoted tells me that it should be mentioned more on HN, too, to be honest. It's quite disappointing to see.

What are you going to switch to? Chrome? Sure, it would be nice to have an easy switch that disables all telemetry, but let's not forget that every other major browsers collects far more data, and the most popular browser steers you to

It annoys me that Mozilla and Firefox are held to an almost impossible standard by this community, whereas others get a pass on behaviour that's far more intrusive. These posts seem to be lacking entirely in perspective. That doesn&#x2

NP-complete doesn't mean unsolvable! It means that we don't know any algorithms that run in subexponential time for every input . But of course we can use the algorithms with exponential worst case running time. We can also use a

Solving the Knapsack problem is pretty easy, it's probably the textbook example for explaining branch-and-bound algorithms. What you probably had in mind is that it's NP-complete, meaning that we don't know any polynomial-t

No they're still very common here. There are at least three within a 50m radius of my front door (inner city). Someone made a map of cigarette vending machines tagged in OSM in Dresden: http://ubahnverleih.de/osm/z

It sounds like you want separate profiles, not containers. The point of containers is that all the settings and addons and saved passwords are still there. If you don't want that, you can create a second profile with different settings

You might want to set up a DMARC policy for your domain. Since I set mine to "p=reject" I haven't had any such issues. DMARC extends DKIM and SPF, and you (typically) need to pass at least one of those to pass DMARC.

The number of sites that send mail to "foo@bar.com" when you give them "foo@sub.bar.com" is staggering, too. It's a mystery to me why they would ever want to do that, but it happens a lot.

The iPad Air 2 was introduced just under six years ago. But even the original iPad Air, which was introduced nearly seven years ago, still gets security updates. The last update was released less than a month ago. It's stuck on iOS 12,

I use Lockwise, and the thing that drove me towards it is that it works on Linux and iOS without having to run a sync service (Dropbox/...) on my laptop. The sync is excellent and just works. The iOS app could use some work, though. It

That library is not even remotely similar to SIMDe. The goal of SIMDeez is to provide an abstraction over different SIMD instruction sets (different versions of the x86 SIMD instructions: SSE2, SSE4.1, AVX2). The goal of SIMDe is to let you

by lorenzhs 6y ago
SIMDe is sort of the reverse: running existing code using SIMD intrinsics of platform A (e.g., Intel SSE) on another platform B (e.g., ARM). It's a great boon for portability of existing SIMD code.
