0ldskool··on Why I will never buy another Samsung device
I think there is a plugin for it. Pretty sure its probably just a wrapper around netflix over some browser. Netflix killed their 3rd party API awhile ago and killed support for all the platforms techies would use.
0ldskool··on Clone culture and its continuous impact on indie developers
this already happens all the time with food... How many unique takes on a given recipe are copied and used by other restaurants??

Tiramisu is an awesome cake from a small mom+pop cafe in Italy, California rolls for sushi, etc...

0ldskool··on The U.S. is now energy independent
you mean that crisis that should have been called the Turkey missile crisis? Wasn't the main cause because USA put missiles so close to USSR that they could bypass the early warning system. USSR was just reacting in response.
0ldskool··on Weeks after announcing it, Nvidia has gone silent on its flagship RTX 3090 Ti
Well usually isn't it just 1 or 2 chips that get manufactured and binned differently? The release of a new card is just a release of previously manufactured chips that were being held until there was a sufficient supply of that quality/binning level? Manfacturing of different boards is probably pretty easy since PCB manufacturing is a well solved & optimized problem.
0ldskool··on Ask HN: What are the first things you do with a new laptop?
Clonezilla backup before i even bootup the laptop. This way if I need to return the laptop or i screw something up later i have a 100% factory copy of the HDD.
0ldskool··on FP techniques that will help you write better JavaScript
that's like saying high level languages cannot be unequivocally better then writing assembly, not doing your own memory management is bad, etc...

Functional programming is a higher level abstraction. If the underlying implementation is not well implemented/optimized then you could have bad performance while the opposite is also true.

0ldskool··on Computer scientists prove why bigger neural networks do better
Is that something that can/has been proven? From my understanding there are many other smart animals that are self aware.
0ldskool··on New map of meaning in the brain changes ideas about memory
then wouldn't we find an advanced machine civilization???
0ldskool··on Ask HN: Whats the tech stack that top-tier hackers use for staying undetectable?
there are business cards you can buy with built-in usb connection. I wonder if you could buy a paper USB drive that could live boot linux.
0ldskool··on Every M1 Mac is due for a 2022 refresh with faster M2 chip, new designs
well one of the things people who buy upgradable laptops like to do is buy the cheapest upgradable specs and buy their own parts to install. I.e. buy laptop with 128 GB M.2 SSD and upgrade it to the fastest+largest available SSD. Thats what i did with mine. Also I took some parts out of my laptop and installed them into my desktop(s) and Intel Nucs.

You could probably get the free version with ads constantly showing up in your brain.
