This is why I love Hacker News, so many neat info you don't get anywhere else! Thanks for your comment :)

I have the opposite experience, so many subtle bugs that bite you only on specific scenarios, so much that I can't count.

Hi, I'm very interested in this position but living in Europe, is there any chance I could still apply for this? Thanks.

You _can_ run other OSes on Macbooks. They're not locked in at all, it's simply that the drivers aren't open source and the hardware is undocumented, but with enough effort (e.g. A…

Doesn't it work perfectly with a 2880px-wide display with 2x scaling?

Side question : what font are you using in your screenshots? I find it really nice looking

I strongly disagree. * The performance difference can be pretty massive depending on scenarios. Sure, most programs don't need it, but still * Rust has not only memory safety but f…

What? Where can you find an entire computer with builtin SSD, RAM and keyboard for $50?

What's crazy to me is why they didn't go for that kind of implementation. This works well, ensures privacy, can be audited easily, and doesn't need a f*cking app on my phone.

Most people's TV show ads nowadays, be it Samsung or a competitor. The thing is, people don't care about ads. They just deal with it. Hence how Samsung gets away with this sh*t.

This means your system doesn't have enough airflow if it throttles this quickly. But I agree this should not be a problem in the first place.

Right, if you specifically want to use an SD card and not USB, and don't want to add an adapter either, sure the A5 is the way to go.

For the same price you have the Minisforum UM760 Slim which should be 100% compatible and provide VASTLY superior performances. Or you can check cheaper models that would have the …

It's (1) but ICE is making their job to intimidate people so they don't face consequences.

Minisforum 790S7/795S7, mini-ITX desktop. 16 cores, 32 threads, only a bit less powerful than a desktop Ryzen 7950X or a 14900K, but with a comparatively low power usage. About 500…

What the hell is that with OP being so rude? And following FastMail's reply > Hello Andrew! Can you please contact our support team so we can look into this for you? fastmail.com/s…

The difference is between SDR and HDR. Going full blast with a full image at 500 nits or having an image averaging 200 nits with only peaks at 500 are two vastly différence things.…

That's normal. For HDR to look good, you need a monitor that hits approximately 1000 nits in brightness. Your monitor only hits 250, which is completely insufficient to display HDR…

Honestly, I self-host about a dozen services and upgrades take me less than a minute per month usually. I simply have one folder per service, each folder contains a docker-compose …

Can't you do the exact same in compiled languages e.g. C or Rust?

Actually the world is more or less ending because of that. People lack more and more critical thinking skills because they aren't taught about that in school. Sure multiplying 3-di…

Thank was a very interesting read, thanks!

Thing is, .exe on windows is broken on so many levels. You don't have sandboxing, apps don't always follow standards as to where to store their data, there's no dependency manageme…

Problem is, the vast majority of people aren't aware of that. So it'll keep on being this way for the foreseeable future.

IF you have a display that can it roughly a 1000 nits, then for movies and games yes definitely the difference with SDR is pretty huge. If you have say a 400 nits display the HDR m…
