Silent computers at full load are very rare, but a common PC is noisy even at idle. My point is simply that one has to put special effort when building a PC to even get silence at idle.

Many people have already moved to Windows, Linux, and hackintosh. If Apple wants to win them back it will need to offer something really good in specs, features, and specially price.

I've been building hacks (as the community calls them) since 2010. If you get a golden build and get it working it's almost like a real mac. It's possible to get everything working 10…

I lived in Tequisquiapan for a few years which is pretty close! Didn't expect to find someone on HN living in El Bajío. :)

And what about the wings of the plane? Obviously those didn't go through the building. https://truthandshadows.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/pentagon... …
comment
So far I haven't seen a single "expert opinion" that explains why the wings of the plane disappeared leaving no trace. https://truthandshadows.files.wordpress.com/2010…
comment
Obviously I'm not an expert... But if there was a fire strong enough to vanish 90% of the fuselage, the passengers, and other stuff, then why is it we can still see pentagon furniture, and plasti…

I don't know what happened and I can only make conclusions based on the data I have access to.

It still doesn't look like a plane crashed there

JavaScript is not perfect by any means, but if it was that bad how come so many companies have used it successfully? Netflix, Ebay, Uber, Facebook, etc. These are not your average mom-and-pop web de…

> wheat, coconut oil, potatoes, and heme Replacing meat for carbs is not a great idea. Edit: I was wrong. 200cal only have 6g of carbs which is pretty good IMO.

Scroll jacking is a terrible practice. 1) It's intrusive and destroys the user experience which ironically is what it pretends to enhance. 2) Even if it feels right on the designer's machi…

I couldn't disagree more. The mac was probably even more reliable before the Mac App Store existed. As for safety I've been using macOS since Panther and I've never had a security probl…

I'm not saying that's a bad thing. What I'm saying is that moving to swift full stack is only beneficial if you are using iOS or macOS on your clients.
