I always install Chrome Beta on all my Android phones; here’s why

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-22 08:30:47

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority It’s been more than 13 years since Chrome first launched on Android. Fundamentally, the app hasn’t changed much in all these years: I type a URL and the page loads up. In all these years, though, Chrome hasn’t caught up with the rest of Google’s apps in one key feature: multiple account support. Most of the official Google apps let me quickly switch between different Google accounts, and they have done that for many years now, since 2010-2011, to be precise.

What can we expect from Apple’s rumored new 2026 MacBook, with an iPhone processor?

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2026-02-22 08:31:56

Analyst Ming–Chi Kuo has suggested that Apple plans to launch an all–new MacBook next year, powered by an iPhone processor. Specifically, he expects it to have the A18 Pro chip which currently powers the iPhone 16 Pro line–up. While there’s no word on pricing, the only way the report makes sense is if Apple is targeting an even lower price than the $999 starting–point of the current MacBook Air. Indeed, if you factor in discounted pricing on that, then it would have to be significantly cheaper.

New proof dramatically compresses space needed for computation

news.ycombinator.com Max Springer 2026-02-18 18:59:28

Once upon a time computers filled entire rooms, reading numbers from spinning tapes and churning them through wires to do chains of basic arithmetic. Today they slip into our pockets, performing in a tiny fraction of a second what used to take hours. But even as chips shrink and gain speed, theorists are flipping the question from how much computation space we can pack into a machine to how little is enough to get the job done.

Kuo: Apple to release cheaper MacBook powered by iPhone processor

Apple’s current entry-level laptop is the $999 MacBook Air, but analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple is aiming to launch an even more affordable model soon. He writes on X that Apple will go into production in late 2025 or early 2026 on a new MacBook model that will be powered by the A18 Pro chip, rather than an M-series processor. This is the same chip used in the iPhone 16 Pro line. The machine may feature colorful casing options, including silver, pink and yellow. Unfortunately, it isn’t yet

Use keyword-only arguments in Python dataclasses

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-22 11:45:36

Python dataclasses are a really nice feature for constructing classes that primarily hold or work with data. They can be a good alternative to using dictionaries, since they allow you to add methods, dynamic properties, and subclasses. They can also be a good alternative to building your own class by hand, since they don’t need a custom __init__() that reassigns attributes and provide methods like __eq__() out of the box.

Revisiting Knuth's "Premature Optimization" Paper

The most famous quote from Knuth’s paper “Structured Programming with go to Statements” is this: There is no doubt that the grail of efficiency leads to abuse. Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization
