As others have said, try it yourself, it's very low effort nowadays. For me the lowest bandwidth option was to dual boot then load existing library with https://github.com/ValveSof…

Even justice system considers the trustworthiness of a witness, evaluating incentive, conflict of interest. Having worked in another FAANG, I realize a large number of criticisms d…

We're mostly agreeing except I'm optimistic about current generation of tools being closer to assembly > C than C > VB. There are good signs AI would eliminate whole classes of cos…

As an M$ hater from last life I've to disagree it's more expensive. You numerate the instance where they've lost value, but can you even count the value it produced over the years …

I managed to get around ~7W idle on a 2024 dgpu/igpu laptop, with room to further optimize. From my limited casual checks (nowhere near proper benchmark), it's better than windows.…

Kudos to the high velocity action. Given it has to at least go through decision makers, finance and legal, I bet they made the decision almost immediately. Curious how we would sol…

As much as we meme about it internally, one of my favourite things about AWS was the leadership principles. I always worried I've became cult like biased. Seeing how these converge…

Most of the time I find the pros of not mutating variables out weight any potential memory / performance gain, of course it depends on what you're doing, but I find it rare other t…

Am I the only one who see the title immune system suppression and think weapon?

Trust is hard, it all comes down to trust no matter what you do. The more general idea is sandboxed build, it doesn't eliminate all problems but one class.

Blog author company's runner detects anomalies in them, but we shouldn't need a product for this. Detecting outbound network connection during an npm install is quite cheap to impl…

Given the 2.1kg after detaching the graphic module and the seemingly large battery capacity for on the go sessions, it's so close to a laptop that fits all my use cases. Although f…

Whatever is making plain HTTP requests in 2025 should be a cause of concern. Wouldn't it be nice to have a low resource daemon watching for common pitfalls alerting users so we eli…

If they use any form of filtering / evaluation along the line of STAR, the positive way you chose to deal with it plus the outcome of it being a top post on HN should score you hal…

This honor system mostly worked at scale because interests align, which seems to be no longer the case. Does information no longer wants to be free now? Maybe internet, just like s…

Interesting, DDoS in real life. Or rather slashdotting, since those are legitimate queries. If I were Visa/Mastercard leadership I think at least part of me would be happy to see t…

> At the state that we're in the AIs we're building are just really useful input/output devices that respond to a stimuli (e.g., a "prompt"). No stimuli, no output. It was true bef…

Metrics for things like FCP, better screenreader and refactor are less straightforward so having the capability to correctly evaluate the cost and benefits, making the right judgem…

I can explain the "pile-on", because the climate has been unsafe for the last 10 years or so he might have gotten cancelled harder, with tangible business impact to his acquaintanc…

Focusing only on prevention at the bandwagon phase, and speaking from direct experience. I was there when there was an internal thread trying to pressure management to effectively …

There are a lot of nice things I enjoyed when I was still working with Kotlin extensively. Null safety, data class, sealed class, exhaustive when, top level functions, object class…

To address "over", here's my perspective. The invisible force is much stronger than any explicit demands. Would you agree sociopolitically trans transformed from the underdogs to a…

Once upon a time when mobile data wasn't as common and cheap, I found that starbucks wifi allowed ping to any where :)

Not that I'm fixated to this idea just a passing thought following this line of reasoning, but.. There might a world where if we lower the bar of medical school, it turns out at th…
