Calling it a subsidy makes it seem like it's something governments are doing on purpose. That they can easily say "this subsidy has expired, we're not giving it to you anymore". That is not the case. Implementing a new t

This isn't new, so we don't need to speculate about it. Older civs had this. Civ IV has the Manhattan Project, and the Apollo Program, both of which enable new stuff for all civilizations, once built (nukes, and space race).

Heck, I believed it. That, for me, was the main pull of buying on iTunes vs. streaming, because (not being in the US) I've been burned one too many times by streaming services pulling content because their license ran out. If iTunes mi

Where the M1 really blows any other CPU away is single-threaded performance; multi-threaded performance is just normal. So it's not surprising that it's not faster than your 10-core iMac when compiling (which I assume is using 100

The i3-530 is a 10-year old desktop CPU, so of course it uses more power. The M1 can go up to 39w, which is comparable to the Ryzen you mentioned. I didn’t know either, and looked it up before commenting to make sure I didn’t make any wildl

I think they might be referring to the power used by the chip, which is indeed comparable to entry-level chips. The thought is that if it runs this fast right now, imagine what it’ll be like when you put a big heat sink and fan on it and le

Battery health , not the battery level. The battery, I'm guessing, would've been fully drained.

“Choose Intel because it’s cheaper than AMD” is one of those arguments that make you realise how quickly the world changes.

That has happened to some extent; there are a number of products named after Chrome. Chromecast has nothing to do with a web browser (or even Chrome OS, another Chrome-branded product). It definitely hasn’t gotten to a point where we’re get

You see that with Google and Alphabet. “Alphabet who?” “the google people”. It’s Google Maps, not Alphabet Maps. Isn’t that a similar situation? And it doesn’t dilute the Google brand, if anything I’d argue it strengthens it and makes it ev

Back in 2017, this was posted on HN, and I opened it as a tab on my iPhone. That tab is still open, and now the article is back here. Feels weird.

Yes, they do do better. There is no need for conjecture; there is a wildly popular OS that runs apps exclusively from an App Store, and there is virtually no malware for that platform. There are also OSs where you can run random .exes from

Considering this is relating to an API, the mention of whether to use GET or another method implies a REST API, in which case GET is described as: > safe, meaning that applying it to a resource does not result in a state change of the re

But then the author makes demands, which they could only make if it -was- copyrighted. So it does seem like it’d be up to a court to decide.

One thing that I learned from a recent trip to Hong Kong is that the logic behind the masks isn't to prevent you from picking up the virus (which of course is not effective, as you just said) but to stop you from infecting others with

Wow the comic is great I’ve just spent so long enjoying it. Thank you so much! How come you’ve stopped doing it?

For those trying to compare it to SemVer, ChronVer seems to have a different target. It mentions web applications and systems that see releases (with continuous delivery or not). SemVer remains good for libraries, or anything where there&#x

> However, do you think more could be done to make the default MySQL/PHP type configurations faster out of the box? I'm pretty sure that most slow websites aren't slow because their server-side rendering takes a long time.

What is it, in your eyes, that makes their job more worthy of tipping than any other job? It’s a job, they get paid. I ordered something that cost $X including delivery, I expect that to be the final total, not $X + “step up”. If they’re no

Thanks - I just opened HN and saw the replies to the comment now and it does seem like it descended into unproductive discussion. I’m glad it was marked off-topic and removed.

I think there’s a general feeling (propaganda?) that the US is a technological leader, but... there’s nothing to support that, especially when it comes to infrastructure. The US is really far behind other developed countries in a lot of way

If you’re in the EU, don’t forget to complain to your relevant data protection authority, and let them investigate the legality of it (GDPR requires that it be easy to say no as it is to say, which clearly isn’t the case here). If you’re ou

Old designs used to fit more data in 1024x768 (or 800x600) than we get now in high-res, high-DPI widescreen displays. There's a personal finance app I use that was recently modernised, and it went from being able to show me 50 transact

What you're saying is basically that this scheme will leak the IP address you're on, because that's just how the internet works. There's... not much that can be done about that, and there's no need for the scare quo
