  1. The main problem with Firefox OS was that it was really slow. At the same time it was targeting budget phones.

    But on the other hand progress was quite good. Back in the days I was maintaining unofficial images for Alcatel Fire. Each version was a little bit faster, but you really can't do much when the whole OS is a browser running on a device with with 256MB of RAM and a single core CPU.

  2. That one order of magnitude is about 7 years behind the Moore's Law. We're still progressing but it's slower, more expensive and we hit way more walls than before.
  3. IntelliJ use wasn't that widespread until about 10-15 years ago. Java was thriving before that.
  4. I mean, Apache Commons are still widely used. But it's just a handful of libraries maintaned by one organisation.
  5. Switch 2 seems to be more up to standard. I was able to charge it with a normal phone charger and also the Switch 2 charger seems to work with everything else unlike the one for Switch 1. Fortunately I never bricked anything with that, but it just never worked with anything other than the console.
  6. Please, this is HN. Don't make moot points. Smartphones existed before 2010, but few people had them.
  7. The author used kernel compilation as a benchmark. Which is weird, because for most projects a build process isn't as scalable as that (especially in the node.js ecosystem), even less after a full build.
  8. Yup, I noticed yesterday that all items were a few days old. It seems to work now.
  9. According to the spec:

    These constants are defined mostly to make serialization of infinite/NaN values simpler and more obvious, but can be used to indicate a "largest possible value", since an infinite value gets clamped to the allowed range. It’s rare for this to be reasonable, but when it is, using infinity is clearer in its intent than just putting an enormous number in one’s stylesheet.

  10. Considering that only the last part of one article is missing it really looks like a bug.
  11. Also collections. I almost finished Tomb Raider II.
  12. Most Nintendo games are on modest -33% sale from time to time. The only exception is Pokemon games. These are never on sale. Just look up on Deku Deals.
  13. I recently watched some Claude Plays Pokemon and believe it's better measure than all those AI benchmarks. The game could be beaten by a 8yo which obviously doesn't have all that knowledge that even small local LLMs posess, but has actual intelligence and could figure out the game within < 100h. So far Claude can't even get past the first half and I doubt any other AI could get much further.
  14. It's one of those weird HN things...

  15. Just yesterday I got a phone call from a recruiter asking about my LinkedIn account. I said that I don't have one.

    About an hour later she called me again with an invitation for a job interview.

    I don't really know what LinkedIn would change here...

  16. For opening hours, usually Facebook pages. Google is too unreliable for that, especially when it's a holiday.
  17. Usually you can modify the amount of RAM dedicated to the GPU in BIOS.
  18. Yeah, I looked up the author and the changes were comitted from a gmail account. The official contibution from AMD would be made from an account with amd.com domain.
