Similar to the dose making the poison - the thing that jumped out at me in this blog was the ratio of scraping to visits. Unless OP is scraping thousands of times a day I don't rea…

> as much as I dislike Flock, it seems like it wasn't at fault here Seeing this in an engineering-centric community disappoints me. It's hard to say for certain without seeing the …

The point the article is making is that people assume that a game having physical media means its fully functional - but that's often not the case. Most games made recently rely on…

I think the critique of "the search tool no longer respects your settings" is true regardless of it it notifies you of that fact. I did a random search myself and the first result …

Certainly all business happens on deadlines, but one day is a very narrow window to be able to show material improvement. Especially if the entire business dies at the end of the d…

I suppose they don't "ask you" in the same way that gmail never presents the user with a dialog explaining that gmail needs to store their emails in order to provide their email se…

I would say that it makes it easier to design a PR and then go back and update that PR as things evolve. For instance, you might decide you need one table so your first PR in the s…

They do ask the device owner - if you review the location services description on android[1] you will see they explicitly say they collect this information from your device. I stro…

I think both ecosystems most often have people switching when the other side has something new. I suspect this foldable is coming in under the expected price of the new iPhone fold…

To me this seems like an odd preoccupation for an article that is very little about the Bun rewrite as a running program and very much about the process of the re-write and how it …

I often see comments like this on encryption related project. Depending on the reader you make what might be an essential point - but I also don't really know how useful it is to s…

Sony is obviously the villain here (and pretty much always) but I think this points to an unsolved problem with our model of digital ownership: it's based on the media company prov…

All your examples could be printed and read as books - whatever form they are consumed in. What differences are you seeking to highlight with these examples?

You can look at wikipedia's list of SDRs[1] to see which can do wifi ranges now. I was more thinking about the future because you're right that it's a less common capability at the…

Neat! SDRs have been available at reasonable price points for some time but the processing power to engage with wifi and other digital signals has been somewhat elusive. Assuming R…

This is a nice little write up and I kinda feel like the author (sensibly) chose centralization just on a smaller scale. I also think that the algorithm is pretty similar to the og…

If comments about how "this blog post could have been a link to this github repo" are in-bounds, so are comments about how "this could have been a link to a LLM session." HN has al…

> what makes a great gaming machine? A piece of hardware that runs a basket of popular higher-end games at close to 60fps is generally what people look for. If you know you wanna r…

Buying a gaming pc is always a bad deal compared to a PS5! Even though anyone buying a gaming PC is getting a "bad deal" - many people prefer it. You can do lots of things on a PC …

The mac mini is a wonder but it's not a great gaming machine[1]. You can see that these stats are about 1/2 of what the Steam Machine does, so I think the comparison is pretty apt.…

This device does sit between mac-mini-esq lower power devices and compact enthusiast builds and, like the Steam Deck, it's an attempt to build a new segment. That said, if you thin…

That's fair and I'll admit to using a bit of hyperbole with that number. My point is that we are designing solutions for time scales we haven't actually been able to test over and …

This is a perfect example of what I am talking about. Yes coal power is worse! I know that and clearly you know that. What are we even talking about? So far, in the over half-centu…

I find this to be the most frustrating aspect of the nuclear discourse. The "waste problem" is technically solved (we believe, gotta wait ~10k years to know) in a way that depends …

My "oh google maps" story was that I was hanging out at a new cider bar in my neighborhood and asked the owner why I couldn't find it on google. They said they got a message that t…
