Interesting take away from article: >“When you’re sending light into a solid fiber, it’s like you’re sending it through a window 50 miles thick,” said Dave Gustafson, a former head of wireless engineering at Jump. “With hollow-core, you’

I feel like there is a missed opportunity here. Some companies are going to start ditching the traditional leetcode interview questions and switch to more experience based coding questions. Will be interesting to see if it gives them a leg

I struggle with this a lot and have been wondering recently what it is that causes it, so it's refreshing seeing such an article today and knowing it's not just me. Seems that my hunch is at least somewhat correct, that I just wan

This is what is amazing, you can't answer the question "what was the last DOS game made?" because people are still making DOS games [1]. Thanks for posting this, will certainly check some of these out. [1] https://

Interesting, thanks for those details. I thought the whole point was to be cheaper/easier than HDD, at these prices, why not just drill?

I once looked into running a fiber cable on poles for 2,000ft. It has to be done by certified professionals. I got quotes from $25,000 to $75,000. Just to hang a wire on what would probably be 20 wooden poles.

Interesting counterpoint, but if you don't make changes then, aren't you just trying harder at the same thing every day, expecting different results? I guess I sympathize with OP as "try harder tomorrow" just hasn't

I think this is a fair point, but are there perhaps compromises where quality of life doesn't have to go down? Solar panels on homes with government subsidies where fossil fuels are still heavily used for electricity. Investments (BIG

Yea, "I'm fine" when you're really not, isn't a lie because there's no intent to deceive. No one actually expects you to tell you how you truly are when they ask "How are you?". So if anything, the in

Wow, if you zoom in really far, the resolution seems to exceed that of Google maps. I can make out shingles on roofs of homes, so it must be what, a quarter foot res?

Hmm, doesn't seem to do anything for me. I tried with both maximized and desktop windows (multiples of the same app, Chrome and VSCode) but pressing down just results in the app selector bar disappearing.

Is there an option to enable this? I have two Chrome windows maximized but Command + ~ doesn't seem to switch between them when focused on one.

Wow, thanks! Surprised this isn't the default behavior.

A bit of a rant, but could be worth getting some input. Coming from mostly a Windows background, it feels like Mac's despite all these shortcuts, still don't have "alt-tab" working properly. The equivalent on Mac is Comm

I wonder if the street racers and car mechanic hobbyists of the near future will become electrical engineers to effectively do the same thing. Instead of installing better spark plugs or cylinder heads, enthusiasts start playing with capaci

The general advice given is that everyone wants to change their circumstances when they're unhappy but supposedly our circumstances only account for 10% of our happiness with 50% being genetics and 40% behavior. So everyone tells you s

Wow that's impressive. I'm on the east coast and seeing instant buffering when changing channels.

Neat, didn't realize how much the options for ec2 have grown over time. Can those instances with 100Gbps networking actually push that to upstream transit (ie. the Internet)? Or is that mostly for internal network communication between

> the de-dollarization of the global economy is well underway Interesting, can you mention by chance what major data points you see that are suggesting this? Thanks.

These kind of CTAs are everywhere these days and it's rather frustrating. Wish there was some solution to filter out sites that use completely not-ignorable (like in the corner) CTAs.

Been wondering this myself. In my mostly uneducated mind, something to remember is that if you "print" money and give it to people, there's no way to really get it back (that is, control the money supply in both directions).

Curious, do you have a source on this? The article doesn't seem to get very specific.

Is this ultimately just to free up bandwidth in areas limited by poor last mile infrastructure? The US has some of the cheapest transit network bandwidth costs in the world. Most ISPs can peer to YouTube(Google) for free minus the cost of e

As many are aware, this sort of "manufacturer parts only" tech is everywhere. First printers, then k-cups, now water filters and I'm sure the list goes on. While, initially I share the outrage at massive upcharges on parts th
