Well, the new iMac Pro (8/10/18 core) will start at $5000 - I also feel ever slower development experiences on my MBP and it will be pretty much a solved problem on a 16 core Threadripper workstation. I feel like I can't wa

That sucks indeed :( I just wanted to say that many recent CPUs seem to be rushed efforts - be it Intel or AMD.

I now know why they sell so many of those "fidget spinners" these days – it's all the core-starved developers like myself not wanting to get stuck on HN while waiting for their builds to finish ;D

I guess I'm not the only one having a problem with development on our low/slow core portable computers (MBP in my case). Just the other day a friend of mine voiced his dismay over the fact that "there was a point in time - a

AMD fanboy checking in :) One of the good OCaml folks over at Jane Street just recently found a bug that crashes systems with Hyperthreading enabled on both Intel Skylake and Kaby Lake as well – just saying: https://news.ycombina

I mostly do play single player these days, which I found excellent as well :)

Huge Carmack fan here but I feel the need to defend the latest hi-octane Doom incarnation from 2016 - IMHO great controls, fast old-school gameplay, superbe graphics.

I kind of like these new in-between upgrades on consoles though in case of Xbox One X I'd rather go for a nice PC upgrade after all (Xbox exclusives should come out for PC as well). I was hoping for 16 cores for real next gen consoles

Not NetBSD per se but apart from MirageOS there is nothing as promising than the "Rumpkernel" NetBSD spin-off in the Unikernel space. It's a direct outcome of the clean and highly modular codebase that has made NetBSD run &qu

I feel stuff like this needs to be taken into account more consciously. It probably wouldn't have changed the decisions I made but still.. Meg Jay writes more about the practical implications of potentially delaying common life goals i

Just another data point: to me Affinity Designer actually seems to render much faster than Adobe Illustrator (on a 2015 Macbook Pro with Intel integrated graphics chipset).

Save yourself the hassle and buy Affinity Designer – it does a better job of most of what I did before with Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator (or Sketch for that matter). I'm very grateful to my designer friend who recommended it to me

Long time fan of both mangas and anime: While lacking the full spirit of either source (it's clearly more influenced by Mamory Oshii's anime) it's still an entertaining democratization effort (communicating at least some of t

Exactly. We are only already often blind to that fact, think about how many years have passed since "Snowden" alone.. 2013 has been a pretty seminal point in time imho – ubiquitous mobile computing/internet, Google basically

That's why I call it DeplorablesBook but that's also where the problem lies maybe. Most probably. Maybe certainly. We need to engage in those tiresome discussions collectively. We need to talk more, with more people from more

As a kid I loved all of that though. I had enough time, skipping on homework while probably still learning more through games like Ultima :)

Aristotle would have been OK with that. Work simply is "non-leisure" and therefore shouldn't be aspired to per-se. As per Josef Pieper – it's all about leisure. School especially so: "The Greek word for leisure (σχο
