Me too - let's see what the sustained performance is like. That said, with this much headroom, I'm cautiously optimistic that even with some throttling going on, it'll still be plenty fast for anything I'm likely to thro

It's fascinating to see history repeated - the architecture and design with the most power efficiency generally also turns out to be the one that can be pushed furthest for performance when you want to go that route.

AFAIK it's pretty common for new macs to spend a while creating an index of its hard drive. For that reason, if you want to run benchmarks, you should generally wait until it's done with that (e.g. an hour or probably less with th

I would love to know this too. I never got AdWords or FB ads to work for us. A big part of our SaaS's value proposition is its integrations (G Suite, Slack, O365) - so my hypothesis is that most of the potential users that care about i

Lots and lots of people use their laptops in a way where there's little to no noticeable difference between 8GB and 16GB RAM. Why should those people pay extra for something they don't need? I think the HN crowd - with 4 docker VM

After searching some more, I came across this: https://github.com/ConfettiFX/The-Forge It sounds a bit more heavyweight than what I was getting at, but it still makes me hopeful that there's a future for something

Most game engines work with some kind of abstraction to unify access to the underlying graphics APIs such as D3D, DX12, OpenGL, Vulkan and Metal (for example in Unity there's GraphicsDevice). Does anyone know if there's any work b

I'm not sure it's fully possible to not compromise on safety one way or another when doing something like this quickly. Let's say a side effect is that 1% of women become sterile half a year after getting the vaccine - how wo

I wonder if any of the other vaccine candidates offer 100% protection, or near it at least? Still, if everyone got this vaccine, then the infectiousness of the virus would be decimated, so if currently every infected person infects 5 people

"However, there are logistical challenges as the vaccine has to be kept in ultra-cold storage at below minus 80C." Does anyone know how many of the other vaccine candidates have this limitation? It seems to me that a vaccine with

I actually thought that was what this was about when I clicked the link. And I actually agree with that result - while the lines of communication grow by n(n - 1) as you add more people, and in general this leads to diminishing returns in p

There are many of us that would like to do frontend development in a language that isn't JavaScript - having a compilation target for that which even comes with speed benefits is huge.

Yeah, I'm going to want the same psychotherapy given to a group given psilocybin, a group given traditional antidepressants, and a group given placebo (with the psychotherapist blinded to administered drug).

I'm curious about the use of the word 'attack' here - is that really what this is? If so, what exactly is being attacked? I thought this kind of thing was called steganography

It gets about three time the mileage when driving compared to flying - a small reminder of just how energy efficient it is to let the normal force from the ground hold something up compared to expending energy to do so.

Your question made me think of Richard Feynman. He had this approach where he had a dozen difficult problems in the back of his mind and every time he learned a new technique or perspective, he would re-evaluate each of them and see if the

Not the person you are replying to, but I think the point they are trying to make is that the less experience a politician has, the more likely they are to believe what they are told by someone with an agenda who is trying to influence them

I'm a developer, not a designer, but I've found that I can do everything that I previously used Photoshop and Illustrator for using Sketch and Pixelmator instead, and the latter are both polished and a joy to use.

I think part of the reason is that when you choose to get a degree, you don't know any better, and it probably seems as good a way to get into the field as any (in lots of other fields, it's the only way in - e.g. bio-tech, so it&

No, I don't think it's the same people. But I wish the people pleased by this development would be more vocal. As a developer, I know just how discouraging it is to make an improvement and all you get back is complaints. I don&#x2

Lots of people saying they will only use an open source password manager - fair enough, that's your prerogative. But I think it's unfair if everyone just complains that this isn't open source. First people complained that 1Pa

As far as I understand LSD greatly increases neuroplasticity, your brain's ability to form new connections between neurons. You temporarily reset the weights in your neural network, so you get a chance to "jump out of the groove y

It seems like the most successful SaaS companies eventually expand beyond their initial product category to become a platform with a wide range of services and a whole ecosystem around them. Some go really wide, like Salesforce, while other

Well, it's kickstarter, so if the goal fails it doesn't cost anything. So I'm chipping in $20 - I don't need this for anything particular, but I'd like to see more open source in this space (maybe we can eventually

In game development there are already pretty mature photogrammetry techniques that reverse engineer the lighting and shadow conditions of a scene in order to "subtract" these from objects in the scene so you can get the neutral al
