Yeah, that's kinda how it goes.. At first, "The Open Source Community" looks like a really big deal. Once you dig in a little, though, you realize that Apple has like 50x as many p…

I, for one, welcome our new gaming overlords

In that vein, it might be worth noting that this thing is just a treadmill. There's this whole fancy computer attached probably via just a handful of very simple wires to the actua…

I dunno, I tried Apple Arcade, and the games on there are decent, but I really didn't feel like I was getting my $5/month's worth Any random $20 Switch title from the Shovelware Sh…

I agree with you 100%, I've never even heard of or seen a use case for the dual-screen flip smartphone That said, my friends seem to love their Samsung foldable phones. "Having a t…

haha, yeah, the only reason working in FAANG wasn't my dream is that I never could have dreamed of reaching such lofty heights Now that I'm here, it's sort of lame, but it's still …

ugh, that's annoying.. At least you made it onto HackerNews, so your problem might get silently resolved in the shadows It really sucks that Google can't be bothered to provide 5 m…

I dunno man, in that context it just felt like friendly internet trolling TheDonald users were trolling the crap out of spez by pinging his name repeatedly, so he trolled them back…

Internally, Microsoft is chock full of super pissed-off people. Everyone's pissed at everyone else, since everyone there is constantly bombarded by angry friends' and relatives' co…

It doesn't make any sense to invest much in displays over ~90hz vs just working on adaptive refresh rates Your eyes really do work at a pretty low speed. At some point it makes mor…

I think it works to some extent. There's a limit to how much you can get out of yourself, and a lot of dumb luck involved in getting interviewers who are actually reasonable. In my…

Man, this thing you people have going on is really confusing You should just discriminate based on something straightforward like car size or hat color

Yeah, man, the one thing I was really hopeful about with Trump was some serious h1b reform. If a president who hates both tech companies and immigrants didn't do it, I don't think …

A lot of the foreigners living in Tokyo misinterpret tiny bits of nothing as hostility and racism I'm a big guy, sometimes people make space for me on the train or whatever. It isn…

Yeah, it probably wasn't the most efficient use of my family's limited budget, but that's how it goes Nowadays I'm a big /r/financialindependence guy, and I was shocked recently to…

If they did, it would cost like $200 without the platform or the large install base

"4K streaming" is such a joke They compress and screw up the video quality so much that even calling it 1080p is a stretch in my opinion Most people have houses/screens too small f…

Man, I grew up lower/lower-middle class, about 30-40% of the median family income, and we had the $80/month cable package plus went to Blockbuster for 5+ rentals per week I don't t…

People say it all the time at my FAANG job. Some whiny loser tried to call in HR and the cancel squad over it on slack, and it went literally nowhere, didn't even get anyone in the…

> If C is used in 100 years it will only be because of inertia. Today there are better choices in the domain of low level systems programming languages. I'm not saying you're wrong…

a lot of games have actual Steam DRM You can definitely remove it, but it's not like GOG where the launcher really is 100% optional and you can install and play the games without a…

The only way someone on HackerNews is going to get fired for being a member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race[1] is if they work for Sony or maybe Apple 1: https://youtu.be/P0d…
