I have one, but it's in a drawer now because I was finding it too difficult to switch between it and a normal laptop keyboard. I want a split keyboard that has all the keys in the same places, so muscle memory doesn't need to adap

So the order doesn’t prohibit tokenizing or saving cards, it specifies who can save them. Earlier, merchants could save the details, and this ability leads to massive amounts of fraud and theft (see US right now). Then only regulated paymen

The difference here is usually leverage. A teacher spending an hour to teach one child teaches one child, but a programmer who spends an hour writing code to generate a dollar’s worth of value can have that run thousands of times a second o

There's so different kinds of globalization, physical and virtual/informational. I think informational globalisation is on the way up. The internet has made it easy to do knowledge work globally, and the pandemic has normalised it

I'm speculating, but based on friends who work in this industry the apps are put into maintenance mode, with one hired/contract developer in charge of two or three apps — assuming it's a SaaS app that doesn't need a team

So in one way this is scary, because it seems like the virus mutates quickly to escape immune systems that know how to find it - so we need new vaccines periodically. But aren’t we already used to this? From what I understand the flu vacci

Is that like the difference between being inside a punching bag when punched and a bell when rung?

The chances are relatively low, but this is survivorship bias, no? The thousands or tens of thousands of times the problem was fixed before it manifested are invisible to us.

It turns out a better energy storage system than hydrogen, actually. Think it has better energy density, easier to liquefy, and if you’re making hydrogen it seems to be a relatively easy step to add nitrogen (easily available everywhere as

Indexes, rather. They charge by rows read, so if you don't add indexes you will (very quickly) read all the rows in your table on every query. That racks your bill really fast. The foreign key thing is because the author thought foreig

There's actually some automatic de-risking with renewables because of their semi-unpredictable nature. If you have a coal, gas or nuclear plant that runs reliably, some executive will get a bonus if they cut costs by shutting off all t

For one, the power cables seem to be thicker and better shielded than the fiber optic ones. That aside, I don’t think any economy will rely purely on imported power - backups in the form of natural gas plants or grid scale storage will like

For those wondering why use a connection pooler at all with Postgres, I wrote a (really long) post about it: https://sudhir.io/understanding-connections-pools/

Not in macOS, though — PiP seems very heavily integrated into the OS, and seems to switch to OS UI when activated. Same thing happens in iOS as well.

I think media playback is delegated to the OS by the browser through some API, I doubt every browser bundles its own decoding and playback engine. And it needs to handover to the OS for picture-in-picture as well, makes sense to delegate.

Yes, it’s possible to ask for the raw connection to be passed to the application and self-manage TLS.

For the most part, yes, everything makes sense. There are some things worth noting though: > On ocassion, it breaks UDP protocols that are "connection oriented" (like QUIC and WireGuard, though both have built-in capabilities t

Also way cheaper, if your container is efficient you’ll probably pay under the cost of Global Accelerator alone, and bandwidth is way cheaper as well.

Full disclosure, I work at Fly.io now. This exact setup is easier on Fly.io - our proxy layer runs in 20 regions worldwide with anycast, so your requests hit the nearest region and quickly terminate TLS there. You can also run any Docker co

I didn't even know you could be notified of replies. Not sure I wanted to find that out either.

So does HN count as social media? I’m a recovering HN addict (couldn’t bear to keep noprocrast on). I’ve found getting into the flow in new projects keeps me off for days at a time, but not much else.

iOS would likely kill the app as soon as it got out of hand, and rely on the state restoration hook to bring back the state as the user left it. Normal macOS apps don't have that, though. If the leak was in some part of the system, may

That part isn't a bug, though. It needs the dedicated GPU to push all those pixels, the native screen is already pretty dense. There was a bug where something would infinite loop on a non-standard resolution, think that was fixed.

Was thinking of getting into the space, here’s some stuff I analysed: * urban centres in India have a lot of small shops all over the place, usually on every street. These are usually owner-staffed and need one to two people to work them. *

Sigh. Go without generics was useful. We built useful things with it. Go with generics will continue to be useful, and it'll make it easier to build some things that were irritating to build earlier. The design of generics went though

No, it works fine with any static hosting system, like S3+CDN, Netlify or others. The API feature (FaaS) needs special server handling to run, but they're just Node functions, so other systems also add support. Vercel just has first cl

Yeah, the Max has exactly the same CPU as the Pro. Only reason I picked it is because I wanted the 32GB RAM, and only the Max has that by default — customised orders take a long time deliver in India.

While I’m sure there’s definitely a team handling the obvious cases, there are a lot of people who sell these schemes packaged as “training” or advice of some sort. And the number of titles in the self-help category is infinite, so it simpl
