Agree, although I would argue Bitcoin is likely to hold some amount of value in the long term because of historical importance, regardless of whether it ever ends up being widely adopted or useful. Some other cryptocurrency could solve all

speculation is the primary use case. Nobody is using their Bitcoin wallet like a regular bank, they're using it like an extremely volatile share portfolio hoping it keeps going up.

Gamepass and the lack of first party exclusives both seem like moves to kill the console in the long term, but as of now it's still a serious competitor to playstation and switch no?

Having a large number of devs spot fixing issues as they come up without a deep understanding of the codebase is how you turn a maintainable project into a mess.

It means they made a cool status page that lists all the bugs that have been found in the Hubris kernel, along with a bunch of detail about fixing them. Not everything has to satisfy some arbitrary measure of usefulness to be cool/fun

Where are these "low-skilled" people you think should be paid less than $7.25 an hour going to live? Shanty towns? Tent cities?

Yeah there's definitely other editors with good rust-analyzer integration - maybe I need to bite the bullet and learn vim keybinds.

I'm pretty sure I only have a successful career because I deeply enjoy programming and have a slightly neurotic obsession with code quality and ergonomics. I can't fathom giving enough of a shit about anything I don't enjoy f

It's felt for a long time to me that MS has been slowly boiling the frog with VSCode - injecting little bits of proprietary/non open source functionality at a time. I want to switch to something else but the community at large for

Seeing this on HN feels a bit like those apocryphal stories of the professor who hands out the "read all the questions before you start" quiz, and the last question just tells the students to ignore everything else, wait 30 minute

I thought QUIC was optimized for latency - loading lots of little things at once on webpages and video games (which send lots of tiny little packets - low overall throughput but highly latency senstive) and such. I'm not surprised that

I might be overly cynical but I just assumed that the entire purpose of "AI PCs" was marketing - of course they don't actually achieve much. Any real hardware that's supposedly for the "AI" features will actual

1-3rd gen Epycs can be had super cheap, but the motherboards are expensive. Also not worth getting anything less than 3rd gen unless you're primarily buying them for the pcie lanes and ram capacity - a regular current gen consumer CPU

The logical endgame of this is war between a bunch of drones with very few humans in the loop, with the only viable way for either side to end it being to attack civilian targets until the opponent surrenders.

I'm a lazy developer and I love languages with an "if it compiles it works" feel. I'd much rather hack around in rust or typescript with half my brain switched off and a beer in hand and eventually get working software t

Yeah rust totally changed my opinion on mutability. When I first started using it I thought that the lack of explicitly immutable struct members was a glaring flaw in the language, but it turns out the ability to choose between ownership, r

We're seeing much less of "it's making mistakes" these days. Is this because it's actually making less mistakes, or is it just because most people have used it enough now to know not to bother with anything complex?

MacOS always renders at an integer multiple of their internal "logical" resolution, and then just shrinks the framebuffer down at the end to whatever the native resolution of the target monitor is. Fractional scaling is renderin

Isn't "what MacOS does" just shipping extremely high DPI screens on everything + using regular anti-aliasing on fonts with no hinting or subpixel rendering?

There's a qualitative difference between an integer upscale and actual LCD pixels at native res, especially at low resolutions. The glow and shape of the individual pixels makes edges a little softer without looking blurry, and anythin

Everything wears out. Early OLED's wore out faster than already very mature LCD tech, but that's just the nature of early adoption of new tech.

Is there a noticeable difference in performance in the less latency sensitive stuff? (e.g. lower fps in the games)
