Or the coolness (lack of heat). I bought a laptop with an AMD chip once, never again. Thing was a fire hazard.

No effort to make existing apps work on Microsoft’s part, and when done was virtualization and not translation. The translation of x86_64 to aarch64 is key to making this work well.

This is awesome. Where did the data come from?

When I first saw this a while back I got the idea to build a terminal based email client that supported rendering HTML messages using some of the technology behind this. I should really pick that up again.

I love go but im annoyed they didn't choose angle brackets for the syntax. It's illogical to be annoyed at this, i know, but it feels like being different just for the sake of being different.

Looks at thinkpad X1, has this already, shrugs.

The most surprising thing is this article is that containerd maintainers don’t provide binaries for anything but x86_64!

Yeah that’s only true if you aren’t using piops. It can be an order of magnitude in price difference vs i3 when you need lots of I/O.

I’d wait for the X1 nano. Same thing but better quality.

Buy a thinkpad. Dell’s build quality and support are atrocious compared to Lenovo. Lenovo doesn’t hold a candle to Apple still but Dell is still bottom barrel. Have you ever tried calling Dell to get something fixed? Good luck! Thinkpads ar

Arch is amazing as a daily driver. I use it both on an ec2 vm for development and on the client (my thinkpad) that connects to it. Both are zero maintenance after being set up and I get the latest kernels and dev tools without the need for

Why not just use something like Foxpass? It’s well worth the money!

Spotify is quite literally an entertainment provider. They can provide any content they want. They are not a newspaper and have no obligation to only promote and host content that matches some folks views and honestly I’m thankful for it. H

I am biased but you are definitely missing out by just listening to your friends on this one. These days MongoDB is pretty mature and the “MongoDB sucks” meme is getting pretty long in the tooth. It turns out it takes a decade to build a ne

Yes, RTFA. That’s why the comment is relevant.

A great series to play if you haven’t enjoyed them yet is the Metal Gear Solid series of games by Hideo Kojima. So damn good.

That IP address configuration screen in the MacOS of yesteryear was amazing, wow. The slider to select the number of host/network bits is slick. I wonder why we don’t have something like that today.

There isn’t anything about this that’s makes it a monopoly or any different from selling items in any other marketplace. You want to sell here? There’s a cut that goes to the house. I don’t know why people get in a tizzy about it, you knew

That seems like a bug right? The drawing code might be highly optimized for equal height rows but resizing cells is quite common, I’m surprised they just punt on it.

I must be the only dev on the planet that doesn’t think cloudflare is that great. They are the last of the major CDNs to offer this sort of functionally — code you can inject at different points along the request. Yes, they did a huge servi

I think you greatly overestimate the value of this. It’s a sham, everyone makes a few tweets, it’s on the news and it’s fixed and over tomorrow. Very little damage done that isn’t obviously corrected/correctable short term. In other wo

You might like deno ( https://deno.land ) then! It’s native typescript.

That sounds unusable, it's probably a problem with the design. Why ever buy a Dell again?
