Show HN: I'm 17 and wrote this guide on how CPUs run programs
Hi! I'm Lexi, I wrote this article/mini-book. There's a classic question of "what happens when you load a website?", but I've always been more interested in "what happens when you run a program?". About 3 months ago, I was really annoyed at myself for not knowing how to answer that question so I decided to teach myself.
I taught myself everything else I know in programming, so this should be easy, right? NOPE! Apparently everything online about how operating systems and CPUs work is terrible. There are, like, no resources. Everything sucks. So while I was teaching myself I realized, hey, I should make a really good resource myself. So I started taking notes on what I was learning, and ended up with a 60-page Google Doc. And then I started writing.
And while I was writing, it turned out that most of the stuff in that giant doc was wrong. And I had to do more research. And I iterated and iterated and iterated and the internet resources continued to be terrible so I needed to make the article better. Then I realized it needed diagrams and drawings, but I didn't know how to do art, so I just pulled out Figma and started experimenting. I had a Wacom tablet lying around that I won at some hackathon, so I used that to draw some things.
Now, about 3 months later, I have something I'm really proud of! I'm happy to finally share the final version of Putting the "You" in CPU. I built this as part of Hack Club (https://hackclub.com), which is a community of other high schoolers who love computers.
It was cool seeing some (accidental) reception on HN a couple weeks ago while this was still a WIP, I really appreciated the feedback I got. I took some time to substantially clean it up and I'm finally happy to share with the world myself.
The website is a static HTML/CSS project, I wrote everything from scratch (I'm especially proud of the navigation components).
I hope you enjoy and learn something!

Putting the βYouβ in CPU
Hi! I'm the person who made this thing!
Some backstory on me: I'm 17 and left high school a year ago to work full-time at Hack Club (https://hackclub.com/). I've been programming for as long as I can remember, and started homeschooling about 6 years ago to focus more on that (and my other interests).
Since I'm entirely self-taught, I haven't taken any college systems classes β and while I had picked up a lot, I wasn't happy with my answer to "what happens when you run a thing." So I let myself spend a shit ton of time actually learning as much as possible. What I found was that:
1. Operating systems and hardware are really fun to learn about!

Ask HN: Free Email Hosting for Nonprofits?
Hack Club is a nonprofit network of hackathons, student-led coding clubs, and open source projects. Our website is https://hackclub.com and our GitHub is https://github.com/hackclub.
We have been receiving free email hosting from Google Workspace and providing it to the Hack Club network, but we recently hit the domain limit (600 domains) on Google Workspace for Nonprofits. Each domain is typically a hackathon or a chapter at a high school.
Does anyone have any recommendations for email hosts that we could look into? As a mostly volunteer-driven nonprofit, we can't afford pay per-user pricing as there are thousands and thousands of accounts.

Framework's software and firmware have been a mess, but it's working on them
I think the SD module won't be able to have the card flush, as the modules are only and SD cards are 32mm long, and you need some PCB space for the socket cage and the USB-C on the other side. The retrofit PCB outline they provide is only 26.9mm from front edge to back edge, so an SD card will stick out a little bit.
So perhaps they decided to go for the one that lets users have the card flush for use like an expansion bay as well as for data transfer to/from devices.

Microsoft starts testing ads in the Windows 11 Start menu
There are many laptops and desktops that fit the bill.
Frame.work: https://frame.work/
Dell: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000138246/linux-on-...
System76: https://system76.com/laptops
Kubuntu Focus: https://kfocus.org/land/business
I am sure there are more, this is only what I have found in less than 5 minutes of searching.
- Which Windows/Linux laptop maker do you like the most?

The Gazelle Laptops are the biggest POS
I'll buy a frame.work long before I touch system76. Their prices are too high for the general feedback I keep seeing on the quality control. I'm not spending 3k+ to be out a laptop until support responds. Especially, considering they still don't make these in house..

That feeling when you are unboxing a flagship keyboard from a major brand in 2023 and find out it uses micro-USB #smh
No they didn't, companies just mostly gave up on it.

A Framework Laptop (https://frame.work)
- Is there anything out there that has changed, FOR THE BETTER?

1080p 7840U laptop
You could get a Framework 13 which comes with your choice of a 7840U or 7640U and a Radeon 780M iGPU. They do officially support Linux, and you don't have to pay for a Windows license, if you go the DIY option and chose to not get a Windows license.

ELI5: What makes a consumer laptop in 2023 better than one in 2018?
Take a look at the Framework laptops. They're 100% modular so if stuff like that goes bad you can simply order the replacement part and do it yourself. I'm using a desktop right now but Ithink my next laptop is gonna be a framework.

Conflicting information from Framework on my preorder
a couple of days ago I tried to order a Framework laptop (13 inch AMD). I chose to create an account during the checkout process and provided my email address. After entering my shipping details, I authorized the transfer of the deposit fee via Giropay. The deposit was deducted from my bank account but when I was sent back to the frame.work website I was greeted by an error message. Unfortunately I could neither complete the checkout process nor continue my account registration.
