Another vote in favor of disc brakes. There's a greater sense of braking power modulation with disc brakes. If your rims aren't true, you're going to have a bad time with rim brake…

I found myself in a similar position a couple of years back. One of the big things that changed for me is that I had to widen my field of view on a project. I had already worked th…

As someone who has been working almost daily with Lambda and other AWS serverless services for close to 2 years, it astounds me to see so much FUD and misinformation among one of t…

Exactly. With this definition, the phrase "compare and contrast" makes much more sense. The point here was to leap frog the fact that GitHub and GitLab have very comparable feature…

You're right on the first point. They aren't comparable. GitLab is a community driven, open core product that is far more powerful than GitHub. GitLab has an extremely robust CI sy…

If you want to self-host FaaS, there's OpenWhisk. The problem that I have seen with the whole concept of self-hosted FaaS though is that you lose some of the key benefits of "serve…

This page was immediately taken over by the ad redirects for free iPhones and crap. Can we get this replaced with a not shady source?

I've been wishing for something like this or a standalone unit for CarPlay. It would be amazing if I could just mount something in the CD slot in my car and plug in to the aux jack…

All computers have the potential for slowdown as they age because 2 things naturally happen: cooling systems clog with dust and thermal paste degrades. Both of these eventually red…

Maybe the poster is talking about total sunk cost of phone and all of the batteries

Dust-clogged fans and degraded thermal paste can also be a factor, particularly after 3 years. iFixit guide for removing your heatsink: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-…

This has nothing to do with a monopoly, so antitrust law is totally not applicable here. You might be thinking "class action lawsuit", which someone might attempt. However, if Appl…

It is but you see less screen time instead of degraded performance. The suggestion here is that Apple is throttling the hardware via software in order to prevent reduced screen tim…

I don't know enough about the physics, but it could be similar to the difficulty in making glasses-free 3D TVs. Things like the Nintendo 3DS only succeeded because they naturally d…

Also, this will only further increase the value of maintainable machines. A machine with good and accessible/serviceable cooling means that redoing the thermal paste after 3-4 year…

Thank you. I still have this argument with people today. I think it's laziness for many devs. ASI is an _error correction mechanism_ that Eich added because there was no compile st…

I'm just critiquing the air gap design/claim. Getting a malicious QR code in front of the camera would either require the attacker to gain physical access to the device, at which p…

A more "air gap"-ish concept would have been a camera on the Firefly. Take a pic of a QR code on the phone, sign on the device, use the phone to take a pic of the output QR.

I don't disagree that they could succeed with this method of attack. The problem is that it doesn't solve any problems. Encryption is a thing that humanity knows about. It's not go…

I agree about "right" drug laws, but many of the countries supporting this idea are not "right" drug law kind of places. As for guns, they trot out "terrorism" as the reason for wa…
