Yeah, that's kinda how it goes.. At first, "The Open Source Community" looks like a really big deal. Once you dig in a little, though, you realize that Apple has like 50x as many people working on this stuff as the entire li

In that vein, it might be worth noting that this thing is just a treadmill. There's this whole fancy computer attached probably via just a handful of very simple wires to the actual treadmill part that anyone cares about. If they get

I dunno, I tried Apple Arcade, and the games on there are decent, but I really didn't feel like I was getting my $5/month's worth Any random $20 Switch title from the Shovelware Shelf at your local retailer is so much more po

I agree with you 100%, I've never even heard of or seen a use case for the dual-screen flip smartphone That said, my friends seem to love their Samsung foldable phones. "Having a tablet available at any time in your pocket is a g

haha, yeah, the only reason working in FAANG wasn't my dream is that I never could have dreamed of reaching such lofty heights Now that I'm here, it's sort of lame, but it's still a lot better than any other jobs I'

ugh, that's annoying.. At least you made it onto HackerNews, so your problem might get silently resolved in the shadows It really sucks that Google can't be bothered to provide 5 minutes of human support despite taking such an eno

I dunno man, in that context it just felt like friendly internet trolling TheDonald users were trolling the crap out of spez by pinging his name repeatedly, so he trolled them back by obviously editing in TheDonald mods' names. Then Th

Internally, Microsoft is chock full of super pissed-off people. Everyone's pissed at everyone else, since everyone there is constantly bombarded by angry friends' and relatives' complaints. A decade under Ballmer of firing

It doesn't make any sense to invest much in displays over ~90hz vs just working on adaptive refresh rates Your eyes really do work at a pretty low speed. At some point it makes more sense to just track the eyeballs and put updated sce

I think it works to some extent. There's a limit to how much you can get out of yourself, and a lot of dumb luck involved in getting interviewers who are actually reasonable. In my case, when I grind those dumb problems I quickly go f

Yeah, man, the one thing I was really hopeful about with Trump was some serious h1b reform. If a president who hates both tech companies and immigrants didn't do it, I don't think anyone will.. (for the record, I'd prefer to

A lot of the foreigners living in Tokyo misinterpret tiny bits of nothing as hostility and racism I'm a big guy, sometimes people make space for me on the train or whatever. It isn't racism. I'm a scary and weird looking gu

"4K streaming" is such a joke They compress and screw up the video quality so much that even calling it 1080p is a stretch in my opinion Most people have houses/screens too small for 4K to be visible anyway, though, so I gues

Man, I grew up lower/lower-middle class, about 30-40% of the median family income, and we had the $80/month cable package plus went to Blockbuster for 5+ rentals per week I don't think that was unusual, either.

People say it all the time at my FAANG job. Some whiny loser tried to call in HR and the cancel squad over it on slack, and it went literally nowhere, didn't even get anyone in the "cancel everyone" channel worked up

a lot of games have actual Steam DRM You can definitely remove it, but it's not like GOG where the launcher really is 100% optional and you can install and play the games without an internet connection or an account of any sort

The only way someone on HackerNews is going to get fired for being a member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race[1] is if they work for Sony or maybe Apple 1: https://youtu.be/P0dXtOVi2yo?t=52

It's tiny by US standards, but they use different types of furniture, so it's comfortable. They tend to use a lot of wall hooks, tons of tiny drawers, smaller convertible beds, etc. I was living there with my wife and her two fam

yeah, I'm a huge PC Master Race type, and even I'd never recommend to someone to start with PC VR right now. It's a LOT better, but it's not so much better that it's worth paying 3x retail price for a high end GPU

You're the one ignoring reality. In your defense, basically every clueless voter living in the US and a lot of Europe does it too, though. In Tokyo, you can work part time as a non-union, non-salaried janitor or a nail stylist and mak
