There were several things in addition to the adjustments they made to the clock frequency curve others have mentioned. There were a couple of fixes in Autolayout constraint resolution that were at least quadratic but are now linear. The pre

I can switch back & forth between Dvorak and QWERTY. Maybe it was the years of piano practice that gave me the ability to learn the former without losing the latter. Anyway, I’m happy with the result. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. It

If the goal is to inspire them to spend their days after they return producing works of art, then your suggestion would likely be ineffective. Had the astronauts wanted to spend their lives creating, they probably would have become creators

Regarding latency: although I love my AirPods and I do not miss the headphone jack, there’s one real application that I doubt will ever be adequate over Bluetooth: monitoring the audio while you’re playing electric guitar through an amp sim

This reminds me of the meme that goes "when I was a kid, I thought quicksand was going to be a much bigger problem than it is."

It's the most user-hostile thing Google has yet done, and I'm including things like Google Wave, the death of Google Reader, and things like removing "view image" from image search results. I loathe getting AMP results.

Just out of curiosity, had you already watched the embedded video ("Prototype Quadrotor with Machine Gun!") – of the quadrotor with the machine gun & the self-destruct ability – before you wrote your comment? The gentleman in

The editors are operating a full three levels higher (than “responding to tone”) in the hierarchy of disagreement. They’re setting a good example. (Although a bit later than ideal.)

Unfortunately, the forces that fake news are currently being leveraged for happen to be the ones who do not want strong education policy (because tax cuts) and they currently have the upper hand. The boil-the-ocean strategy of just teaching

There once was a time on HN when it was customary to respond to a comment like this with a referral to Paul Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement, suggesting that it might be better to aim higher than "responding to tone."

One might also think it unlikely that they’d invent a way to secretly open tamper-proof vials of urine so they could dope Olympic athletes, too, but here we are.

"Toxic" in this context just means negative or harmful. There are many ways in which something can be negative or harmful, not just one.

The case is too thick to miss in a pat-down, making that scenario far less likely.

I got my pair as soon as they became available, and I’ve slowly realized that at the rate that I had to replace the old, wired EarPods (due to failures in the cable or accidentally laundering them) I’ve probably already crossed the break ev
