Managers who have a solid team will deliberately hire a drone to sacrifice annually, and you can blame the hiring process for a long time.

Who else do you think could make such a decision at Twitter now without Musk's approval? Employee empowerment isn't exactly a thing with Elon. When you are the smartest man in any room, anyone else in there making any kind of a de

I think it depends on HW version. I got a Mini right when it came out, and with the latest beta 16.3 firmware it still says "I'm sorry, I can't do that" for requests about room temperature or humidity.

There is a whole constellation of people who attended Northern Illinois University where Cliff taught for many years and who started their steel band program. I believe it's one of the few music programs in the country where you can ma

I'm often surprised at how far away I can be from the device and have it hear the trigger, but I also notice that it has a habit of trying to guess what you are saying when the input is weak instead of telling you that it didn't h

This is pretty much the last thing I would have expected on HN! I've been playing pan for 10+ years now, and the pans I play were made by Cliff Alexis, who tuned for the US Navy Steel Band in the 1970s.

You aren't wrong. The difference between base models if you put 32 GB in the Mini is about $300. But you get 8 more GPU cores in the M1 MAX. And an SD slot.

It's not a Twitter replacement, it's a Twitter alternative. It's actually not necessary or desirable that every platform has to "win" and replace all other similar platforms, this is the thinking that gave us giant

The author's Internet point is that they think Tether is bust and why big money is not shorting it (you can't find a counterparty to make a big trade with that is any less dodgy than Tether itself). They then describe a mechanism

I can easily one-hand a Lightning cable in/out of an iPhone with my non-dominant hand if the phone is on a surface. It's actually the way I usually do it.

Most of these frankly seem like small beer and to be expected in an early release of an OS. I also am not sure how a Git Tower issue is a Ventura problem. That said, I'm still running Monterey, having amended my practice of waiting unt

HN has become The Establishment, it skews older, and thus is extremely skeptical of any change to the comfortable status quo. It's of course supremely ironic in a community that (originally) represented the Silicon Valley startup cultu

It seems a little hyperbolic to suggest that a Ventura Finder bug "broke the entire Raspberry Pi Pico ecosystem." Works on my machine on Monterey, and I suspect there are a lot of users that aren't on macOS at all that are ru

At this point HN is more or less a parody of itself. The same thing happened to Slashdot. Maybe inevitable with any long running community site.
