Turning off wi-fi isn't enough. Like many Samsung smart TVs, a Small Child will cycle through all access points in range if its configured network doesn't have internet connectivity.

I have an i9-12900K (same gen desktop chip) that is self-reporting ~15W idle. I would be pretty surprised if their mobile chip didn't scale lower than that.

So Apple is the best regardless of which product is better?

Interesting. I bought the original model when it was new and I've been happy with it. I always just viewed it as something that was inherently risky, but worth it. The board does have a way of "communicating" with you when you're pushing it too hard, by leaning you back, and it seems pretty intuitive to me. Then again I used to be a skateboarder, so maybe my risk tolerance is outside the norm.

I assume these are the wheels you're talking about[1]. Pretty ingenious idea, although it does mess with the look of the board

But was there actually any defect? Anyone can claim anything in a lawsuit.

>it's not sped up by putting more on the production line or more engineers on the design side

Of course it is.

If revenue fell by 90%, nvidia would spend much less on R&D and progress would be much slower.

If revenue doubled, nvidia would spend much more on R&D and progress would speed up.

If revenue fell to $0, nvidia would go out of business, spend $0 on R&D, and progress would halt.

There's a direct, although not linear, relationship. The more money there is, the faster progress is (as long as you trust nvidia to spend it wisely and execute)

I don't mine crypto, but I like fast tech, so I say let the money keep flooding in so we all benefit.

This feature is built-in to all the JetBrains IDEs. Right-click your project, open Local History, and you can diff any file at any two points in time. That's saved my bacon more than once.

That's true, but that doesn't mean you should use it everywhere. Using Three.js to render a single quad is like using Rust+WASM to add two numbers.

I would expect the stability guarantee to cover outputting _something_ human-readable, and that's it. If you want to parse the output, I would scope that under a separate feature such as `-Z timings-json`. This is similar to error messages, where the colorized output and text can change at any time, but tools can pass a flag to get stable JSON output.

Going by feel, same as when I have a giant function I decide to split up. IIRC the crates ended up between 1k-10k LOC

I did it by hand. It's a mostly mechanical transformation, so in theory it could be automated, but I've never seen an automated refactor for any language that can e.g. take a giant file and decide how to split it up into 5 smaller files. But that's something I'd love to see exist

I've always wondered why useful flags like `-Z timings` are not available on stable. I guess they're worried about the output changing in a future stable release, but I don't think anyone would expect the reports to look exactly the same and list exactly the same compilation phases, etc, for all eternity. I think that for diagnostic features, people would be just fine with a loose stability guarantee that allows the output to be improved in the future.

I once had a similar project to OP that took 30 seconds to compile a one-line change (albeit on a 10-year-old CPU). I split it into about 7 crates, and got compiles down to 3 seconds. Since then I'm always vigilant about keeping crates nice and small. I think as long as you're keeping an eye on your crate sizes, compile times won't get away from you.

This is different from C++ where each individual source file can be compiled in parallel, so it's something I had to re-learn.

I think using floppies is a great way to safeguard privacy. Even if someone finds those disks, they won't be able to read them

Which database do you use to store your database of databases?

Raymond Chen is a great writer. He writes about the driest topics on earth, but still manages to make it entertaining. Definitely one of my favorite blogs.

I think you're right, but we're looking at this from opposite angles. We can never stop people trying to make spam calls, because human nature. At the same time, I don't think it's a desirable design goal to have a communication system that isn't open to everyone. So we must address spam on the receiving end. That's exactly what email is doing, in a decentralized way, pretty effectively in my opinion.

Now why are cell carriers dragging their feet even for basic problems like caller ID spoofing, which have been solved in the tech industry for decades now? 10 years ago, if I could have switched to any carrier at all that blocked spoofed calls, I definitely would have. But no company offered that service for the reasons I mentioned, and now it's too late and people have mostly given up on voice calls.

If email were a government-bolstered oligopoly and we all had to rely on Verizon's in-house engineers for spam filtering, email would be good as dead too. Email is certainly not perfect, but overall I think email's open model has aged much better.

So you're saying 2022 is the year of the linux desktop?

A good number of people claim their kids as dependents but (unfortunately) don't take great care of them otherwise

Phone service is an oligopoly. Spectrum is sold by the government and it is EXPENSIVE. No new companies can join the market, and customers have nowhere to go. So prices are high and companies do the bare minimum.

Email is more of a fair marketplace. In theory, you can even roll your own on a $5/mo VPS. Switching costs are low. You can forward messages anywhere. So email providers cannot charge exorbitant rates or require 12-month contracts, and they must provide better service to retain customers.

I don't think it's even a rewrite. It looks like algorithmically-generated blogspam. Look at the conspicuously capitalized "DuckDuckGo Mac Version Coming Soon" line, and the flipped header image.

I'm not sure if HN bans whole domains or not, but this seems like one to ban.

The browser built-in options are too limited. I want to do these things:

- Use multiple browsers

- Sync even if <browser vendor> screws you over and terminates your account

- Store things other than passwords. Credit card numbers, PGP keys, SSH keypairs, etc

- Backup the database to my own storage

Export/import is not enough. If I use Chrome, then import to FF, then add a password in FF; now Chrome is missing some data. You need to be able to sync, not just import.

Use any service you want, Syncthing, Dropbox, etc. Keepass is smart about saving. If the DB is modified in the background while it's open, it will merge your changes rather than overwrite.

Google is an advertising company. In the coming years, they'll continue to erode the privacy of Chrome users. I've long since reached the breaking point and switched to firefox. You may not be there yet, but when the time comes, you should make it as easy to switch for yourself as possible.

Nothing in life has a 100% success rate. But I think the fact that most people recommend OpenWrt, shows that most people don't have these crazy problems. Buy well-supported hardware, follow the directions carefully, and you'll be just fine.

You're right that Windows 10 is "generally okay" on an old CPU, even for relatively heavy dev work. But I just upgraded from i7-3770k to i9-12900k and it made me realize how much time I spent _waiting_ for every little thing. I've been switching back and forth between the two as I migrate, and the old CPU definitely feels like a dog to me now.

Aside: I was planning to switch to Linux too, but apparently this CPU/chipset is "too new" for Ubuntu to work, so I'm stuck on Windows for a few more months.

I got halfway through and a newsletter signup modal interrupted me and wouldn't close. Good thing I know CSS or I couldn't have finished reading.

So much for being anti-mimetic and bucking the trends.

I mean sure, in an ideal world one Java should work for everything. In practice, there are too many things that can go wrong with untested combinations. For better or worse, the world is moving towards bundled dependencies (Snap, Flatpak, Docker, etc). On my system, I see at least DBeaver and Arduino that ship their own JVM. I don't think it's a red flag.
