There's everything wrong with integrated displays. You can't use it for dual displays. You can't upgrade the display withhout upgrading the computer. And if you get a bad case of stuck pixels, you need to carry the thing to a

Say you want dual screens of the same pixel density, size and shape, what do you do? Hide the iMac under your desk? Buy another iMac?

Obviously android phones get OS updates. Hackintoshes also get OS updates. But in either case there's never a guarantee unless you buy a current gen flagship. If you buy an iPhone you will consistently get updates for up to 5 years. An

You have to think of a hackintosh like an android phone. You might get OS updates or not but mostly whatever OS version it starts with will stay on it for life. You will certainly not be able to update immediately. For some people that&#x27

You have to distinguish between mitigating an issue in software/firmware, and fixing it in hardware. You can't unfab a chip, so the software/firmware mitigation is necessarily crude. The actual performance advantage Intel was

I see duolingo as a kind of modern equivalent to the language textbooks we had in school. You aren't going to seriously learn a language using it, but it gives you enough of a taste that you might be motivated to decide to pick up a la

Word of mouth marketing can be strong. For example I have purchased many apps because of a recommendation IRL, mostly music-focused (musicians love to talk about their kit). The point is to make something truly excellent, and if possible,

The issue is not the name , it is the comprehensiveness of the training required. The MAX had iPad training only, and MCAS wasnt even in the manual, let alone the differences course. Besides, the 777 wasn't designed for low loading at

They had to act quickly because of the large movement of people associated with Chinese New Year. I don't see that they had any other option. I don't think we should be concerned about the Chinese government taking this seriously.

Those rumours will not pan out. Apple just made a big deal of releasing a Xeon-powered work station. Chances of them going ARM-only are zero. They may release an ARM-powered notebook.

This is a perfectly valid reason to fire someone, even in Europe. If you admitted to cheating on your degree, and your university found out and revoked your degree, then you'd probably expect to get fired from your job if you no longer

Yes and there's few computers sold that don't have either a battery (phones and laptops) or UPS and on site generation (servers). Only desktops are affected and they are the smallest segment by far. What the world needs is cheaper

Is "exercise" just a euphemism for not being overweight then? You can be skinny and not exercise, or be overweight and regularly exercise.

I think you are fighting an uphill battle there. HN is a community, yes, but one with a heavy pro-privacy slant. There's always been a disconnect between that and the admins' values who have always opposed adding the ability to de

Peppers are also fruits though. I think this is merely a flaw with the English language. Tomatoes are fruits (fruit of the tomato plant) but they are not fruit (a food category). It's two separate words with different grammatical t

Autonomous vehicles are clearly several steps up the difficulty ladder from bread and butter tasks such as speech recognition. The progress over the last 10 years is such that some subfields have exceeded human parity while others are only

Even from a purely utilitarian perspective where efficiency is the only concern, if you force groups to separate then you are just going to clog up the jet bridge with people waiting for their loved ones to exit the plane. If there's n

I do agree that a text based format is better in many cases. A byte code format would suck for debugging. People want to type their shaders directly into a browser window and have compilation happen in less than a frame. Shader compilation

Your best bet is to remain silent unless your solicitor tells you overwise. If you are arrested in the UK you have a right to legal advice from the "duty solicitor". Your refusal to speak to police can't be the only evidence

If college sports are such a big thing, can't they fund it from TV revenue like most normal sports? Seems like there should be a firewall between university budget and sports budget.

The problem seems to be one of command line interface. In the C/C++ world, you specify the language version using a flag passed to the compiler. e.g. -std=c++98 In most other programming languages, you specify language version by insta

Probably when you get to Carmack's wealth, you stop filling your brain with the expected prices of random items and you become more susceptible to things like this. In the UK politicians sometimes get asked what a pint of milk costs or

Uber didn't invent upfront pricing. If you pass the cost of traffic onto the customer then drivers will drive in traffic on purpose and rinse the riders.

There's currently a difference of opinion between the WHO who say that healthy people consuming reasonable amounts of salt don't need to worry about reducing it, and the US who say that they do.

A good doctor is one who pays attention. I've met my fair share of bad doctors who are overworked and just are not paying attention to what they are doing. Then they end up making mistakes, such as misdiagnosing a condition, prescribin

Don't forget the human brain takes about 7 to 8 hours off every day to rejiggle itself, to use a scientific term. The brain's architecture is better than having a training stage but it's by no means able to continually learn
