Chrome is notoriously power inefficient, though, relative to Safari at least. One would think developers would notice.

HN has never been that narrow, in my experience. I don't recall ever seeing a day on HN without something of mere general science interest (although I've only been here since '09.) Come to think of it, there are HN guidelines

Non-technical? Do you think maybe the cause of insect collapse is related to something other than a tradeoff that came along with the use of pesticide technology? What's your hypothesis?

This shouldn’t have been downvoted. It’s an accurate assessment.

I was under the impression that, in the case of corn at least, harvesting for silage or for grain was an either/or proposition. That is, if the crop is struggling and you don’t expect much yield as grain, then you might want to harvest

I suspect that the underlying reason that the profile switch happens, though, is because of bandwidth limits. That’s what Sennheiser is telling their customers, at least. https://sennheiseruk.happyfox.com/kb/article&#x2

It’s definitely a Bluetooth audio thing. I can hear mine shift into a lower quality audio when I use them for conference calls. (There’s a limited amount of bandwidth and it has to make room for bidirectional audio.)

None of these symptoms are normal. I’ve had mine since they launched. On 2 or 3 occasions I’ve had some other issues, but they quickly went back to normal after doing stuff like re-pairing, or rebooting my phone.

I was surprised at how quickly I went from slack-jawed amazement to wondering why the creators were so enamored with making a character run out of the frame that they never demonstrated using this to animate in context.

Scanning the rest of the thread, I can see examples of other folks who took it literally. There may be multiple effects, here: one, that there will always be people who like to drink and will latch on to any idiom that gives them a social e

If we weren't perpetually in a state of war, that phrase would have more gravity. Maybe we should figure out how to have a few years of peace time so that people learn how to care again that we're at war.

Yeah, Civilization VI is well known to respond well to having additional cores, so I expect the lags I see in late-stage games on large maps to not be as bad as they are on my 1st generation iPad Pro.

This piece is to Debussy what Liebestraume No. 3 is to Franz Liszt: it's simultaneously the cloying, overplayed hit that distracts from the rest of the oeuvre, while also being the masterpiece that serious music people love to pooh-poo

I hear this phrase frequently in programming. In order to get your program running, you first have to make it stand up.

This is fascinating. I've always thought of type 2 diabetes as a disease of the pancreas, rather than a disease of the intestine. I found this abstract from 2013 interesting: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl

This post made my childhood come rushing back. I was fortunate to grow up with a new-at-the-time Model I, which my father and I upgraded piecemeal from a Level I Basic ROM to the Level II ROM, then adding the expansion bay, filling it with

I have a vivid memory of how excited I was by the 60-minutes episode about this paper airplane, and I grabbed a copy of this book when I saw it in my college bookstore. Making the various models was a lot of fun, although I don't think

I like the way you expressed this. It takes longer to say, but is less contentious than Norvig’s pithy quote “Design patterns are bug reports against your programming language.”
