I guess that there are "content creators" who are not interested by video or click-bait as well as those "content consumers" who are looking for geniously interesting content writt…

can someone please explain to me why is this a HN front page material? this seems to be a long abandoned project

i am laughing and crying at the same time... a couple of decades ago, I was still a lowly applied mathematics (and aspiring programmer) student when i proposed to a professor to ch…

so let me get this straight, do they like free markets or not ?

Supporting is on thing, being build on top of it is another thing. And on top of that, AFAIK on bluesky there is no "algorithm"

half the comments so far talk about bluesky being similar to x ie private companies. However AFAIK the use of the "AT protocol" seems to me to be a major difference https://bsky.so…

Again, I very much agree with you, very sound advice. The reason I stick with merlin/Asus is that I do not want to spend too much time, I want to buy sth, configure/deploy/forget.

You are right, these are what matter and thanks for the suggestions. I am not particularly on a budget but I don't either require wifi7, I am not willing to pay 3* more than I shou…

Are you sure you are not mistaken with used ones?

The question is why are they able to inflate the prices like this and get away with ?

In February 2022 I bought an Asus RT-AC86U for 85€. Its price has nothing but increased. Today it costs 245€ almost 3X more!!! A 5 year old model that doesn't even support the late…

i love this blog, i hold Chris Wellons to a very high estime BUT i utterly disapprove the usage of macros so much, especially to wrap cstd types, functions, etc.

a manual transmission car does not require more focus and thought as very soon changing gears becomes a reflex, ie it doesn't require the driver's prefrontal cortex. The same can n…

The author very clearly and explicitely says in the post that this is "purely to help us think".

I still have my first linux cd somewhere. They came together with the `SAMS RedHat Linux 7.0 Unleased` book I bought as I did not want to go through the same pain I went with my 33…

cpu cost is only a small fraction of overall cost: for every cpu, there is a power supply, ram, motherboard and case. You also haven't mentioned anything about data: do they need l…

if this is an argument about MS forcing DX and killing OGL, I remind you that Vulkan had/has Apple's support.

Amen.

In my opinion, the problem is that we failed to create some additional layers on top of C. an extended std lib with data structs and algorithms as well as a style/practices for eve…

I bought my first motorcycle in 2004 and my 2nd in 2007. I rode 45k km with the first one over these 3 years (mostly on my island) and 80k km with the 2nd one between 2007-2015. I …

gvim is plenty fast but i guess for the majority of people notepad++ is the recommendation to make

if you rarely have issues, either someone else dealt with them before you knew it, either your project is very simple, either your project doesn't ever change or all of the above. …

From what I hear apple's latest chips are already so far ahead of amd64 in performance and power consumption that they can easily wait a couple of years. I do not think that this i…

When you buy such a huge part of the available capacity then you are in the position to bargain like this, unlike "smaller" clients.

i understand that it is more portable but if it is cpu based, i guess its power performance is terrible since it is not using gpu acceleration which is a priori more efficient
