I've had a lot of luck with the Plugable 2.5G USB-C adapters, although on some ports they're incredibly unreliable -- I'm guessing maybe something about the power supply? On a CalD…

The Chromium commit queue slightly predates this -- they started using it in 2010.

The self-hosted app never went away; I've been running it for the last 8 years or so, first on a MacBook Pro, then a Raspberry Pi, and now a repurposed HP T620 thin client. They pr…

Seriously though... why didn't the SAR team try sending a text? Texting before calling is the standard protocol for anyone up to date with modern phone usage, but it's also way mor…

Ahhh... a popular topic in my household; lots of digestive issues here. Collectively these chemicals (the ones that cause digestive issues like the author's) are known as FODMAPs, …

None of my relatives seem to mind it, but stevia has a hard to describe but really unpleasant flavor to me.

My wife and I find that taking a whole 120mg (12 hour) pill makes us too jittery, but they're easily broken in half, and half a pill gives acceptable decongestant effects while mak…

My HN workflow is to open a bunch of tabs, then close the main page, and read through all the articles. When I got to this tab, I saw "404", figured I'd hit a bad link, and closed …

Something I didn't mention in my comment is that I would love some kind of mounting bracket that would fit a WD Easystore (the big cheap disks that r/datahoarder loves) in such a w…

I'm always interested in seeing a new attempt to solve the problem of organizing a ton of little devices and a mess of cables. My personal attempt involves mounting a couple of Uni…

Came here to say this... Google Groups has a ton of use internally.

The Chromebook edition is based on the "brya" motherboard design shared by other Chromebooks with 12th gen Intel processors, so it won't be the same as the usual 12th gen Framework…

Google has a thing called "IARC" ( https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/releasing#... ) where you make an application with details about what you're done or have done,…

This is very very cool. I had coincidentally just spent my evening trying to figure out how to get Wayland and Sommelier working in a slightly odd environment (Crouton, on Chrome O…

With my 2014 MBP, my Windows laptop, or my Chromebook, I can plug straight into a hotel TV and watch a movie from my laptop. With my 2019 MBP, I need an adapter. This doesn't seem …

Yep! It's a matter of figuring it out from the microcontroller manual / datasheet (or basing your design on one that already has it figured out.) Programming microcontrollers is do…

Googler here... I transferred teams this year, and did it by searching Grow for keywords I was interested in, then emailing a hiring manager. I think out of the thousands of jobs i…

Another Googler here, speaking directly to the "working on ads" point: Ads is huge, but it's not hard to stay away from it if you're not interested. I worked in Cloud (App Engine) …

I see the $5/month plan here: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-pl... Their hotspot page shows two which are free with a 5GB plan, but I can't find a deal w…

Yeah, T1 is pretty much just a pain whatever you do. Low carb does make it quite a bit easier, and I imagine would pretty much be the only safe way to eat if you were using a non-r…

Type 1 diabetic here. Managing T1D even with the "Gucci" insulins (I use Novolog and have tried Fiasp) is still a huge pain in the butt; you have to give yourself a dose of insulin…

Another happy NewsBlur customer here; I was part of the mass exodus from Google Reader, and NewsBlur has been an excellent replacement.

Not super useful for you now that you have the new machine, but if your old MBP is the Mid-2014 15" model, it can drive up to two 4K displays at 60Hz, but only over DisplayPort. I …

Not the case in Kate's usage, but there's also the precision thing: 1.65k means 1650 +/- 5, whereas 1650 or 1.650k means 1650 +/- 0.5.
