I think there can be routing policy rules in place if a request came in asking for 700mbit/s for example the balancing would kick in providing that bandwidth. And tbh there is very likely going to routing balancing rules anyway even if

It did yes. I was more interested in the system level courses and my undergrad wasn’t great (Indian low tier) so for me it was very rewarding and helped me for sure.

There is this line from Michael Clayton movie that I basically assume every time I see something like this ‘client:(phone rings) That’s the police isn’t it? MC: No, they don’t call.’ Or in this case, they don’t email.

I wonder what would happen if both OS were run through a Don Norman’s Design of Everyday Things test.

Exactly! Most people now just text me if they want to know about me. I realised so many of these ‘friends’ only cared enough to like pictures or make a comment on them. Beyond that they weren’t interested. It’s better to not have such frien

I deleted FB 2 years ago, Twitter 2.5 years ago and Instagram 1 year ago. Most close friends found zero problems connecting with me. That’s cause they call, text or we just meet. It’s almost like I started to live in the ‘real’ life rather

What I find common on such threads is Linux users bashing how Apple users are suckers. I don't get the point of such comments. Most people on HN can already figure out how to build their own PC, install and configure the distro of thei

I find C++ and Rust hard to grasp quickly. I like Go since I come from C but I haven’t looked at any frondtend in Go. I would say some kind of Rust + Go mashup with some kind of good frontend framework (especially something that translates

Okay so let me be clear what I meant in the first line. I meant MBP users only wanted the ports to be fixed and keyboard since 2016. Getting the M chips that are this goods was a lottery winner for macOS users. I am saying this in a positiv

I feel like the only complaint of the 2016 MBP was keyboard and ports. The M chips are literally a lottery at this point. Apple making their own chips is probably a rare thing in any business where the maker of a product eventually makes th

I cant believe none of the news websites aren't using the title : 'Apple turns its silicon up a notch'

by tumblewit 5y ago
No i meant they were right to just put back what wasnt broken. I guess I have worded it wrong. I am just complaining about the design team putting the notch.

by tumblewit 5y ago
So basically apple just went back to the things they tried to fix that weren't broken and then messed up the aesthetics by making it a design from 2010 and added a notch. Why do they do this. Does the design team not understand how to

Tech can always an option. I mean we are entering WFH being the normal so office spaces aren't exactly what is required but once you start building Tech everything comes along with it (schools, stores,tech law firms etc) that supports

Apple is getting into VPN now and if I was to guess they would integrate it with some kind of hardware block in their silicon to make it seamless and transparent. I wonder if Wireguard is at the point where silicon makers can actually consi

Its funny how Windows and Android, the two most widely used operating systems, are a privacy nightmare and basically spyware at this point. Remember you can install tools and ROMs that are privacy focussed but also realise only a minor perc

I think it means ‘user-friendly’ cheap which is different than cheap. I don’t see gnome to be user friendly much and don’t even get me started on windows on mobile. iPadOS on the other hand is something 2 year olds or someone who has never

The most fascinating physics nobel prize for me in recent times was for gravitational wave detection using LIGO. I spent days learning and watching videos of the three of them. The ingenuity of the detector is fascinating and the fact that

I really hate the path Apple is taking. They make excellent products, really the average Joe simply loves Apple products. But they need to stop acting anti-consumer and anti-developer to “protect” their IP. At this point they could release

So here is how I see it for these big tech companies(I know it’s terrible but I believe that’s just how it is sadly). Medical professionals have malpractice insurance / budget where if a doctor was to make a mistake and was sued for it

If intel doesn't consider ARM for its client devices (like Laptops) then their market is going to further erode by QC/Nuvia as selling a 300-500$ CPU is going to be a great market for QC to enter. Intel has already lost a consider

‘Beats’ ‘benchmark’ ‘nm’ are all marketing terms. You can only do so much comparison using such numbers but what you miss completely is that we are not putting them in a server farm. x86 is still coming as a CPU offering while the M1 and AR
