I was very surprised to learn just how new this symbol is. I'm a bit too young for it but apparently there were times in my parents' lifetimes when few Americans would have understood it.

Who’s using terminal emulators and text editors in their browser? Actually, don’t answer that. I’m afraid of the answer.

I think me trying to understand AI terms that others seem to take for granted is giving me a good idea of what it feels like to my family when I try to talk to them about web development. "Gradient boosting on decision trees?" Man

The street lights use some sort of timer that's tracking dates? Don't they typically just use light sensors to know when to turn on? It seems to me that'd be a simpler solution and also provide light during solar eclipses, th

Cynical answer: These things are expensive enough without adding another two dozen switches, and besides, Kids These Days grew up using laptops and don't get the point of having numpads when the numbers are all already there above the

Indeed. In addition to the UI issues, there's no way this product can be "the fastest spreadsheet" when it's browser-based. By definition it runs at least ten times slower than native apps will.

I wonder why Apple seems to be having far better luck with consistent quality than Netflix, who just laid another egg with their Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation. You'd think Netflix would have better connections and much more exp

You're right of course, but if you pick up a 2040 and you're a newbie to microcontrollers (as I am), all of the documentation and first-party tools push you towards using Python, which I've never been too fond of and I starte

I got this working on a RPi 2040 during my most recent microcontroller phase several months back. I know Zig can be oddly divisive here on HN but can we at least agree that it's a good thing to have alternatives to Python in this space

Sure. But I can easily see this becoming the default way to write shell scripts in the near future in the same way Electron is becoming the default way to write desktop applications.

Please don’t make me install Node.js to run your shell script.

Isn't this a lot more work both for the user and the RDBMS than just using a relatively simple left join?

The article says it can just use the Pi’s HDMI output as a screen, so you could presumably drive that at 60FPS if you want. I imagine the HDMI output is useful for debugging even if you ultimately intend to use an e-ink display.

As with many other things, I'd advise against picking a VPS plan based on price alone. I've found Vultr to be both affordable and of consistent quality for my modest needs (personal and business web hosting plus IRC bouncing). I p

Ah, maybe I got my wires crossed. Was the app really never called iMessage or iMessages? My bad.

I'm not familiar with the volcano incident you referred to, but a bit of searching seems to indicate it was British Airways Flight 009 in 1982, where a 747-200 had all four engines fail due to volcanic ash… then glided safely out of th

Reading articles and seeing videos about airline disasters tends to increase my faith in flying rather than making me more afraid of it. Terrorism or sabotage aside, so many failures have to compound to put a modern airliner in a truly irre

iMessage is the former name for Apple's Messages app on macOS and iOS. Some people still use the former name as it's a bit more distinct than the current name and/or it's what they're used to. See also iTunes/M

Interestingly, Gmail seems to be the easiest major Google product to replace with an alternative, particularly if you’re willing to drop a few bucks a year.

Why not just use the Mail app to access your Gmail account and bypass the inferior web interface altogether?

If the language has clear and consistent ways to convert types when needed, the "slow down" from types is trivial.
