   The loader would know the needed trajectory of the disk heads. A generic copy program wouldn’t.

   Pretty sure this is also the reason why Anders never added macros to C# either.

   I really wonder who all the sellers were in the IPO. In my case, were I to get allocation from my broker (I didn't) I would be subject to a 15 day holding period. Presumably the institutional investors that got the lions share of the $

   Another take on this is that restaurants are in the entertainment business, not the food business. Post COVID people are going to have a lot of pent up demand for entertainment that isn't in their homes. So perhaps this is more of a co

   I would imagine this is to reduce their cost of supporting random devices on their network by creating a financial disincentive for people to put them there in the first place. Still sucks though because I upgraded my modem so I can use the

   In Washington State they have already started enforcing this. I had to add $30 to my bill to cover the realities of WFH. Also you get to pay more to use your own equipment. It’s $25 to use their modem and router.

   There is so much bad writing in corporate settings that a tool like this should be welcomed instead of being nit-picked to death. I find that a lot of folks try to sound "smarter" by writing in opaque jargon-y prose instead of jus

   Here's another benchmark, this time XCode, that I screencapped from Dave Lee's YouTube review: https://twitter.com/john_lam/status/1328754454930231299 The 3950X Hackintosh performed on par with the MBA.

    While I love Python, and I love the idea of autocomplete everywhere for everything, I'm curious why not do the same thing, but for Java/TypeScript? PS I really like the layout of your transcript. I would imagine that was done by h

    Thanks - both your suggestion and @davewongillies are close ... but my ideal keyboard is still the "87 key" layout with the inverted T, but with 12 function keys on the left. On modern PCs it's hard to live without the F11 an

    ALT+F3! That works a lot better on the original Model F keyboards where the function keys were in two columns on the left side of the keyboard. I would love to have a modern version with 12 function keys on the left ...

    The difference in compile times between the AMD 4700U and the 1165G7 is stunning. Sure, it has 2x the cores but in the same TDP. Waiting for the premium Ryzen laptops to ship. Hoping the Surface Laptop 4 will be the premium Ryzen laptop tha

    The thing that really stood out for me watching it last night was the depth of the storytelling. Making sure to create the back-story first (why he spent a year visiting his Octopus Teacher) and then the gradual reveal of the arc of the sto

    Feels like a datacenter play for specialized compute. Given AMDs domination of server workloads in $/performance, seems like doubling down on that advantage. FPGA is already used today to offload SSL termination from the CPU.

    Love this idea. I've recently decided to do some deliberate practicing around typing. I've been using keybr [1] which is a great site that randomly makes up phonetically accurate pseudo-words and has you type them. The goal there

    Unlike some other commenters below, I don't believe that this is a privacy issue. Instead, I believe that it is a national security issue because TikTok is controllable by the CCP which is ideologically opposed to the United States. Th

    I never thought to look at the man page for bash to learn bash. Turns out it's 78 pages and looks excellent based on a quick scan. Thanks for the recommendation!

    YouTube Premium is by far the best $10/month that I spend. Zero ads on YouTube and creators get a share of that, which is typically more $ than they would get from ads.
