I don't often laugh on HN, but when I do, it's a big LOL.

Apple Intel laptop + a butterfly keyboard was the absolute gutter tier experience. Not only it was slow and ran hot, but after a few months a random key would get stuck and stop wo…

I think the laptop hardware pre Apple M chips was just terrible and has pretty much stayed that way. There’s a reason why Apple moved away from Intel. Before M chips an Apple Intel…

What can the Erlang / Golang runtimes do that the JVM can’t?

Yes, he’s throwing himself. Aikido is often practiced solely as a non-competitive art. If you want to see what competitive throws/takedowns with a kimono/gi look like against live …

A reminder that both things can be true at the same time: 1. Trump is a bad president 2. The Islamic Republic of Iran should not be allowed to have nuclear weapons

The US Navy has quite a few more tricks up its sleeve apart from aircraft carriers. Just one publicly known that immediately comes to mind: amphibious assault ships, which can laun…

React Native apps can be made to feel native but it takes some knowledge and skill. In certain cases, a bit of native code might be required instead of off-the-shelf libs. For exam…

React Native is pretty good at cross platform but yes, it must be tested right away on all platforms. Retrofitting an iOS-only React Native app to Android later is possible but can…
