I've had a lot of luck with the Plugable 2.5G USB-C adapters, although on some ports they're incredibly unreliable -- I'm guessing maybe something about the power supply? On a CalDigit TS3 dock, I've had one working off

The Chromium commit queue slightly predates this -- they started using it in 2010.

The self-hosted app never went away; I've been running it for the last 8 years or so, first on a MacBook Pro, then a Raspberry Pi, and now a repurposed HP T620 thin client. They promote their cloud controller pretty strongly, followed

Seriously though... why didn't the SAR team try sending a text? Texting before calling is the standard protocol for anyone up to date with modern phone usage, but it's also way more reliable when trying to get in touch with someo

Ahhh... a popular topic in my household; lots of digestive issues here. Collectively these chemicals (the ones that cause digestive issues like the author's) are known as FODMAPs, and cause issues for a lot of people. Monash University

None of my relatives seem to mind it, but stevia has a hard to describe but really unpleasant flavor to me.

My wife and I find that taking a whole 120mg (12 hour) pill makes us too jittery, but they're easily broken in half, and half a pill gives acceptable decongestant effects while making the side effects a bit better.

My HN workflow is to open a bunch of tabs, then close the main page, and read through all the articles. When I got to this tab, I saw "404", figured I'd hit a bad link, and closed the tab... then realized that that was the n

Something I didn't mention in my comment is that I would love some kind of mounting bracket that would fit a WD Easystore (the big cheap disks that r/datahoarder loves) in such a way that I could easily open it up and swap in anot

I'm always interested in seeing a new attempt to solve the problem of organizing a ton of little devices and a mess of cables. My personal attempt involves mounting a couple of UniFi bits directly to the wall, plus a little shelf made

The Chromebook edition is based on the "brya" motherboard design shared by other Chromebooks with 12th gen Intel processors, so it won't be the same as the usual 12th gen Framework board. You can install Chrome OS Flex on th

This is very very cool. I had coincidentally just spent my evening trying to figure out how to get Wayland and Sommelier working in a slightly odd environment (Crouton, on Chrome OS), and this article showed up on HN just in time for me to

With my 2014 MBP, my Windows laptop, or my Chromebook, I can plug straight into a hotel TV and watch a movie from my laptop. With my 2019 MBP, I need an adapter. This doesn't seem like a big deal, but the first time I went on vacation

Yep! It's a matter of figuring it out from the microcontroller manual / datasheet (or basing your design on one that already has it figured out.) Programming microcontrollers is done using an in-circuit programmer, which connects

Googler here... I transferred teams this year, and did it by searching Grow for keywords I was interested in, then emailing a hiring manager. I think out of the thousands of jobs in there I was interested in about two or three, but that wa

Another Googler here, speaking directly to the "working on ads" point: Ads is huge, but it's not hard to stay away from it if you're not interested. I worked in Cloud (App Engine) for four years and am now working on Ch

Yeah, T1 is pretty much just a pain whatever you do. Low carb does make it quite a bit easier, and I imagine would pretty much be the only safe way to eat if you were using a non-rapid insulin. Unfortunately (doctor's orders) I also h

Type 1 diabetic here. Managing T1D even with the "Gucci" insulins (I use Novolog and have tried Fiasp) is still a huge pain in the butt; you have to give yourself a dose of insulin a fairly precise amount of time before eating, a

Not super useful for you now that you have the new machine, but if your old MBP is the Mid-2014 15" model, it can drive up to two 4K displays at 60Hz, but only over DisplayPort. I have the same laptop and recently upgraded to a pair o

Not the case in Kate's usage, but there's also the precision thing: 1.65k means 1650 +/- 5, whereas 1650 or 1.650k means 1650 +/- 0.5.

Thank you for releasing this! Last time I needed an SDRAM controller, I had trouble finding anything that was open source, readable, under a permissive license, and published on GitHub. I ended up using this one by Matthew Hagerty in 2014

South SF is far less accessible than Stripe's current location in Townsend St (Soma, SF). I'm curious to see how many people leave because of this move. Tech workers in SF tend to live in Soma or the surrounding neighborhoods (Fi

Seconding this... it'll just barely run on the Zero W, but you need 64-bit Java to remotely access your controller through unifi.ubnt.com, and there'll be long delays whenever the database needs any maintenance. (I set up a Zero w

To a certain extent you can search for everything online :) I found that when I moved here (2010) my coworkers would drag me out to all the tech events, so I got a good feel for all that just by hanging out with them. If you want tech imm
