As I understand it, the hardware design for the i860 made it incredibly hard to write a compiler for. This also helped it fail.

And, then in 1989, they released the i860 [0] with similar promises to similar failure. 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_i860

Do you mean their first 32-bit CPU? The 4004/8008/8080 all precede it ( edited, thanks chihuahua ).

There's a customizable delay in Shortcat that you may have set. Otherwise, buy an M2 Air like mine and see it fly :-)

I can take the standard $0.89 "GEM" clipper to my nails, squeeze them until the handles touch, and they won't go through my nails. Mentioned this to a friend at work, who showed me his "Seki" (now I know where they

Not sure I understand? The one from Tailscale is open source, and you can self-host it (they mention putting it on fly.io, for example), or run it on a home computer.

A lot can happen in 11 years :-) And thanks a lot for fly.io -- it's working great for my (rather small) use cases.

Instead, consider using DaisyUI[0] as a design system, which is built above TailwindCSS. As a bonus, it's just styles, so it works with any JavaScript system (or none). 0: https://daisyui.com/

Surprising to me that they mentioned the Pinto, Pacer and Gremlin, but no mention of the Chevrolet Vega, their small/seemingly-economical/not-very-good attempt to compete with the Japanese. And on a lighter note, a friend who had

The discussion mentioned above was on a Discord server -- and yeah, several people have reported issues with getting started with Discord, but navigate it and do just fine. Mastodon is just a whole other world of complexity and confusion.

I'm on a discord server with a lot of non-nerds, and various ones are interested in Mastodon, due to Twitter issues. It's amazing to see how much trouble they're having... "Do I have to create a log in on every Mastodo

I'm using two services, fly.io and encore.dev. Both are wonderful, but different worlds. fly.io (as others have mentioned below) lets you build a Docker image and run that. I've found having them serve static files lets me not in

Not a TV, but someone recently reported a GE oven that would not let you use a particular feature (convection cooking, IIRC) until you connected it to WiFi.

My app (which is bigger than Hello World, but not by much) is about 9M on disk. This is typical for Go apps, oddly enough. It's not compressed so far as I know.

Having done Rails for about a decade, I believe that it's just the name. It's not only a reference to Rails, but the main author lives in Wales (the country), so it's a nod to that as well. Wails is really well done, and pr
