really ineffective marketing spend if you ask me. I watched a fair amount of CNN during the early phases of the Ukraine war and I would be hard pressed to tell you what shows CNN+ offered that were compelling enough to justify yet another s

On the Mac UTM is a nice wrapper around QEMU. They have a convenient gallery of preconfigured guest machines you can use and it's easy to export the QEMU cli command for any of the hosts you config in UTM if you need to. https:/&

This rings true to me. I'm a good software engineer, decent at "real math" and close to hopeless at arithmetic to a level that has had me wondering if I suffer from some version of dyscalculia. This is very confusing to frien

I think Rigol gave in to the hackers? Last year I bought a DS1054Z from amazon and it came with all the options permanently enabled.

This might be the answer. Peloton in their early years also just streamed whatever music they liked as part of their workout streams, at some point they got big enough to get on the radar of the music industry and now they have to pay royal

Ask HN: Which came first? OpenStep on PPC? Or the MacOS UI on a NeXT derived OS?

Anything mod related makes me want to replay Star Control 2. One of the best games ever made with a banging mod soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL070C2821EF87B676 IIRC the designers liked mods and recruite
