It’s still fairly popular, but the statistics show that X usage is gradually declining. Elon claims that X is more popular than ever, but the platform doesn’t publicly release its own stats, and publicly available stats say otherwise. If yo

You can do both. I still find time to read a couple books a month. You have agency and can choose your own adventures. If you don't like something, don't do it.

This is unbelievably cool. And you look like a skilled go-getter to the corporate hiring machine.

Then you’re either spending time in the wrong parts of the internet or doing things that don't fulfill you. These times are exciting and rough seas make good sailors. Find your path forward.

Your first paragraph is possible now with most enterprise 802.11ac equipment (Cisco, Aruba, Mist, Ruckus, etc) but it needs to be properly designed, placed, and configured. DECT is a different frequency and is much less vulnerable to nearby

Sounds like a good plan. Like I said, it's not for everyone, and if it doesn't appeal to you, don't use it.

It's still being hashed out (publicly! On X, Discord, and GH issues), but I imagine it will have an opinionated focus on modern container, CI, and deployment options (eg. Kamal)

You don't have to get it. Omarchy isn't for everyone and that's okay. There's a ton of other options. I've been using Omarchy since almost the beginning and it's been fantastic. I get a usable "power user&

I am absolutely unapologetic about using AI. There is a segment of people who have both legitimate concerns and misconceptions about AI. The legitimate concerns are crucial and certainly need to be addressed, some are existential. But if yo

I guess I'm in the minority. I don't mind an AI response if it's informative, concise and well-crafted. The problem is that those kinds of responses are rare in the tech world. But when you have someone competent at the helm,

The Tx SoCs communicated with the main system over Ethernet, IIRC, at least with the T2 SoC. The Tx SoCs themselves should have never locked up because there was a watchdog that would power cycle it when it became unresponsive.

As others mention, the Touch Bar ran on its own CPU, well, SoC. The T1 and T2 and its associated controllers were actually part of a gradual and public transition to Apple Silicon! Most people didn’t realize it at the time though. https:&#

Yeah, about half the time, mostly due to poor memory, I use the hcker.news site just because it's faster, more readable and configurable. I'm usually narrowing down to a topic of interest, rather than trying to exclude something.

This is wonderful. About the only good thing to come out of the open web dying is a revitalization of open and accessible computing hobbies.

What? No, it's not time to move AI news somewhere else. It's one of the biggest tech and business topics, if not the biggest. If the HN audience didn’t want AI stories, they wouldn’t keep making the front page. You may not like

Half the time I have my headphones on playing nothing. I'm just using the noise cancellation to find some silence.

Basically, I do stuff like I did before the Internet. I still code for fun. I write detailed specs for AI. Although I feel like this is, or is about to be, obsolete. I read books. I play chess. I play words games. I make stuff with wood and

For my miscellaneous Flock queries, I use case number "abc123". My police chief is okay with it and the case number "abc123" is FOIA-exempt out of operational security concerns.

Brave with all the cruft turned off except Brave Shield. Chrome isn't bad either. I'd love to be able to tolerate Safari, but it's just not a good day-to-day desktop browser.

Here's how my assessment selected Go (long before LLMs): - I had to write a moderately complex program. I didn't want to do it in C, and I didn't want to learn Rust. - So I spent roughly about 2 hours becoming familiar with G

> Who cares? Languages are tools, LLMs are tools. Use the ones more appropriate for what you are trying to do. The article specifically discusses how Go is well-suited for LLMs. It's not going on about general programming topics

I don’t understand. It mentions multiple times it’s not free right on the linked page. And if you open the App Store link? It also mentions it’s a paid app. What am I missing?

I do understand what you're saying, but at the same time, of course it's natural -- it's, well he's, a thing that exists. We don't have to like it. From Larry's perspective, our natures are strange and perhaps
