"Hydration" is a term often used on the backend too. I believe I have noticed it for the first time in Doctrine documentation, Object Relational Mapper (ORM), which is similar to Hibernate in Java - it was about transforming data

I miss "Saved Messages" from Telegram in the Element (formerly Riot) chat app. In Element it is also possible to create a private room with access limited to only me but in Telegram it feels so natural to send text and links to my

After two years I would expect issues like you have mentioned. It does not sound too good in my humble opinion. I guess you were doing more than just occasional work? :) I have noticed they put MediaTek CPUs into their devices. Personally,

Personally, I only know Dell Precision 7740 to have built-in NFC. I guess tablet-like / 2-in-1 laptops might also have it. Edit: Lenovo Yoga, Lenovo X1 Carbon have NFC too. Edit 2: Dell Precision 7750 also offers it. Edit 3: Models wit

Yes, that's right. To be honest, I spent some time already to inspect and analyze its code, because I found it as a nice example to learn Rust by rewriting this project. rxi/lite have tens of functions in C to provide operation of

Indeed, however I think we might replace Go with any programming language and your comment will still make sense. Currently, web-browsers are the best have-it-all platforms, and outside web-technologies there isn't many good alternati

Outline might help a bit [0] - it preserves all the text but pictures are really small [1] and all headers are lost. [0]: https://outline.com/KZqa5L Edit: [1]: Images on Medium can be resized by changing the expected width

FYI: Keyboards without the numpad block are called "TenKeyLess Keyboards" (sometimes it is abbreviated to TKL acronym) or 87/80% keyboards. In short research, I found they are hundreds of them available on Amazon, Aliexpress.

(A bit off topic) Two months ago, on reddit there was interesting finding and discussion about low quality screws in Dell laptops [0]. Also, if you look for "screw" phrase in r/Dell you will might find that problem is more co

Oh c'mon, many laptops in last decade had 1366x768 display and many people still downscale theirs 1920x1080 into 1600x900 or 1440x810, because they have problems to comfortable see and read text from screen :) Dell D-series are at leas

I don't feel right to ask this question using "Ask HN" - how many VMs you usually run?

Yes, they seem to have 2560x1600, probably the same display as Yoga [0]. [0]: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Leak-confirms-Lenovo-Yoga-Carb...

Isn't already a thing (or almost)? For example Dell Latitude E7470 14" (16:9) [0] and Dell Precision 5550 15.6" (16:10) [1]: Dell Precision 5550: > Front Height: 7.70 mm (0.30 in.) > Rear Height: 11.65 mm (0.45 in.) &gt

> 13.0 | 16:10 | 2K | 450nits | 100% sRGB | Optional Touch > Ultra-narrow bezel | 85% STB It is very nice move from the Dell [0], and also now Lenovo to bring 16:10 display in laptops. It was always for me strange decision, when lapto

I guess very close alternative to Goey will be GioUI [0]. It is really simple in the implementation, so it also covers many platforms as targets [1]. However, that is also a problem - there aren't many prepared components as in Qt or S

Of course! I believe almost all PHP devs noticed, they have terrible slowdown by Doctrine and used XDebug to check where is the problem. I am not PHP dev anymore and I hope it has improved a lot since my last adventure with this ORM but I&#

Maybe pfSense/openwrt based on APU2[0] platform? I don't personally anybody who has used it. If on HN there is someone who would like to share his opinion about it, I'd be grateful. Edit: Also, Turris MOX or Turris Omnia [1]
