Presumably the organization giving away the million dollars is the arbiter of that question.

They're just covering two ends of the market. I can't stand wearing Pros myself, I can feel the sweat building up in any isolating earbud, and it makes me feel itchy. Would hate for the non-isolating product to disappear.

They mean isolating vs non-isolating. Airpods Pro are isolating, Airpods are not.

And some, like Anguilla or Tuvalu, hit the lottery and get a nice income from renting theirs out for general use.

Is archive.is still a malicious site that DDOS's finnish security bloggers or has that been sorted?

Had to come back to this post a week later, after having read that Colwell memoir / oral history. Thanks for posting it, really enjoyed it (and not just because I'm a former intel acquisition/employee).

Contracting for more chips than you can make isn't a fun situation to find yourself in, nobody is doing it for profit (it's actually quite expensive in time, money, and reputation to litigate the fallout). It happens due to failed

You did well to skip the 2015-2020 era (butterfly keyboards, touchbar). With that said anything M1 or newer is going to be a delightful upgrade for you. An enormous jump in performance, battery life, and thermal performance.

> the hardware works with no problem In the same way that PowerPC and m68k hardware still works, sure. Apple silicon is so performant that (much like those previous two hardware jumps) it's not worth maintaining support for the old

Games are not as fun at 1 fps, or with 10s input lag.

Congrats! I have two, both for the much easier task of doing bibliographic work for the books.

The filesystems of macOS are particularly opinionated, much more than most Unices which tend toward "anything is allowed [and usually preserved] except \0 and /". macOS supports case-insensitivity[0] and performs unicode norm

aka "gravity losses". Every second you're not (yet) in orbit you're losing dv / cargo capability.

I think it was due to voids in the hinge area causing localized plasma impingement and heating. The v3 design has a more continuous shape around the hinges.

The difference is having high-bandwidth signal pointed up / away from the wall of plasma.

What you've said is correct. The slide says something like "run the command `seq 2 10000000 | less` and check `ps`, notice that `seq` isn't running". But that isn't how the processes will behave, `seq` will continue

> If we pipe seq to less and look at the list of running processes using ps aux, we can see that the seq program is not running. ... This explains why the seq program is killed when it is piped to less. This explanation isn't correc

The CSS has broken some time in the last 12 years, people have posted archive links that make it much clearer [1]. The author is on holiday (and enjoying their birthday!) and will get to it when they're back home. [1] https:/&#x2

The article is about the literal oil of boiled snake meat, or at least the product that purported to be that.

It's funny, I also read the book as a teen, and I came away from it amazed that IBM was dedicating entire team members to inter-/extra-team communication. Before that I hadn't even considered how necessary a product manager o

On older hardware such as this it could e.g. let you write a multitasking environment that supported shared libraries without use of an MMU (though you'd hit memory constraints pretty quickly on a Z80-era cpu!). I'm not familiar w

Samsung only rated the S5 Active as water resistant, and only IP67. We're talking about IP68, where you can take a new phone with you on a long swim.
