As far as I'm aware, zeit now can run server side code whereas netlify edge can only do at most some serverless functions, and is otherwise focused entirely on serving the front end

ESLint isn't a transpiler, it's a linter

It checks code formatting, it doesn't enforce a transpiler

I don't think it's any better or worse, it's just an additional way of writing SSR sites where React is a templating language.

React is just another option for a stack - similar to express with pug, you can have express with React, without having to learn a new templating language if you already know React. And with things like TypeScript, you can have type checking into the mix too

> That’s mostly Spotify. It can be disabled in settings. Windows only shows the volume "slider", which is gone after 5 seconds

Actually that's a UWP / Windows Feature that music apps such as Spotify can hook into to display Now Playing info and media controls

Maybe so you can deliver precompiled wasm to a browser rather than having to deliver the source and a compiler?

Probably not worth setting up a babel transpiler for that small amount of JS tbh

Makes supporting older browsers a lot easier

You need none of those things to get started with JS development

It’s still perfectly possible to just create a html document, shove in a script tag, and start developing

And if you want to use packages from the npm ecosystem you can easily use https://unpkg.com/

Electronic production has meant that music has gotten more versatile than ever

Music that combines real instruments and electronic instruments can produce a much wider variety of sounds than either type alone.

And electronic effects are hardly a new thing - they've been around since the mid 80s.

I guess the reason it needs a 100W charger might be that at load the laptop might use more than 100W, and therefore wouldn't charge

This looks pretty good!

It's the amount of bitcoins currently in the network

Our learning AIs will have an instructor, just remotely

> the DMV will require that those testing autonomous cars without a driver present have a dedicated communications channel that ties the car to a remote operator, who can take over if needed.

How is this any worse than having learner drivers on the road?

Just because bitcoin is a bit shit in terms of scalability doesn't mean others are as bad

And technologies such as the lightning network should help as well to ease congestion assuming it gets adopted by merchants

It's worse when your app requires to maintain a constant connection to a server in order to function - when the app suspends good luck knowing when that connection will be closed, even with an extended execution!

Isn't the web crypto API chrome only at the moment?

Unfortunately that's a Windows 10 API, meaning it isn't very useful for older versions of Windows!

I dunno, the base model has two Thunderbolt 3 / USB type C ports, and the model with the touch bar has 4 of these ports. All models appear to have the headphone jack. It might only be two ports on the base model, but it's ports that are significantly more versatile than standard USB.

Once you don't need the driver you don't have to worry about sleeping - the truck can drive 24/7 without breaks

If you're on Pro or above you can set updates to download on demand

Surely the important bit is the size of the code that's served to the end user, not the size of the development environment?

My Visual Studio install is easily at least 4GB, yet this doesn't matter to the end user as the packages produced are about 6MB total

This happening for me as well with a Moto X Play running Android 6.0.2

Looking forward to trying the app once I can install it though, looks neat

I can't remember where I read this, but one theory was that the move Lee Sedol made was thought to be unlikely by AlphaGo, and so didn't explore down that path.

When Lee Sedol made the move, the AI was in unknown territory as it hadn't explored down that avenue.

> Take Witcher 3 - both me and my significant other were playing it at the same time. Me on PC, while she played on PS4. She was a good 5-6 hours into the game, while I was still fucking around with my drivers, overclocking the GPU and CPU, going into bios every 5 minutes just to make sure I definitely have a locked 60 fps experience.

I've never has this issue when playing games on PC? Usually I can just buy a game, wait for the thing to download and get on with playing it within 10 minutes of it being installed. Usually I change a few settings such as resolution and I put it in windowed mode, and maybe reduce some graphics settings, but that's it. I very rarely have to mess with drivers, and I've certainly never had to overclock my CPU or GPU, nor did I have to enter the BIOS just to play a game. And if the game isn't at 60 fps? Who gives a shit, as long as it's a playable 30 fps or more then I'm happy just playing the game. PC gaming for me isn't about the superior graphics or framerate, it's the fact that I can have a game on one monitor whilst having easy access to a web browser or IRC on another so I can do something during loading screens. It's the fact that I can mod the game to add new features, especially in strategy or management games.

Does it still only support OS X for building apps?

does HN even use that much JavaScript?

That's mainly due to the old BIOS mbr only supporting one bootloader at a time. I know on my old BIOS PC that when I installed a linux distro it would displace the windows bootloader with grub, and vice versa. On UEFI based systems, this is less of an issue, as I believe you can have multiple bootloaders.

They are, that's why they haven't spent much time on the website.
