The marketing culture for announcing hardware exploits is so strange to me. The norm seems to be getting a custom domain, logos, demos, an FAQ... why do all this instead of just re…

Readwise Reader. Yes, as another commenter stated it costs money, but it has many other features that I find useful such as good text-to-speech, integrations with other apps like O…

I love RSS. I use RSS daily. I use link-aggregation websites like HN to find interesting authors and subscribe to any RSS feeds that they have. Highlights from my reader sync autom…

I primarily write code in a DSL which has no good FOSS LSP implementation. If I’m writing this code on my personal computer I’m out of luck. My employer pays for a language server …

Because I am not always driven to type 128 random characters or even use my phone camera, so it does successfully stop me from procrastinating much of the time.

You can make it up to 128 characters. That's impressive that you are able to type a random string of nonsense so fast. My hack was to take a picture on my phone, have Apple's image…

That’s the ideal but it’s not what I’ve observed in practice. In my org, people send reactions and reply all emails like this. It’s just more distraction.

Not OP but I use this and like it. It gives a slight scratchy feel when I write on my iPad with the apple pencil and it removes all of the glare for when I'm reading. It's magnetic…

I do really think that PG often glosses over what he really means when he says "success." From a critical view, you could interpret the word to mean solely financial/economic succe…

Thank you for making this post. I always love chatting with people. Alias: artisanspam Interests: Philosophy pertaining to both political theory and how to live “the good life,” cy…

> The easiest way to improve this would be to capture as much of the architecture as possible in formats that are easy to read and manipulate. In particular, instruction encodings …

I am a DV engineer, and I'm going to give some candid feedback: CI tooling is not what I spend most of my non-coding or verification-planning time on, so I wouldn't find much use o…

It's not just Ubuntu. Anyone using Centos 7 or RHEL 7 which are not EOL yet has run into this issue, too.

The Ford F150 is the best selling car in the US by a long-shot and it's a gas guzzler. Given that, I don't think consumers care a lot about how much they pay in taxes when deciding…

What are the limitations on what languages this supports?

Depending on the day I’ll do my journaling through dictation on my phone or iPad while I exercise. There isn’t a video component but I’m guessing that the speaking component is mor…

This is very timely for this post to appear on the front page because I just suffered a pretty bad injury. I broke my clavicle in a cycling race. I can hardly move, my sleep is con…

> considering its history Can you elaborate?

Yes I understand that but I was struggling to think of a sequence of instructions that would cause this secret leaking on a single thread. But a simple example is `vzeroupper` foll…

Why does disabling SMT not fully prevent this? I don't know the details of Zen 2 architecture, but register files are usually implemented as SRAM on the CPU-die itself. So unless t…

As I've gotten older, I believe more and more that having a desire for great work has more negatives than it does positives. This post really demonstrates why I believe this – main…

I’m curious to hear the perspective of someone who is both into motorcycles and bicycles, as I’ve only ridden on a motorcycle a handful of times, while I cycle nearly daily. Bicycl…

It wasn't an attempt to make fun of but I can see how you and others would think so. I simply thought it was an interesting characteristic of him because there is a trend for CEOs …

> His history includes stints at Apple, Tesla and AMD. Don’t forget his stint at Intel. I met him there and aside from his brilliance, the other thing that stuck out to me is how s…
