I'm sure it does, but this just made me realize something. I drive a Smart Fortwo, which goes in the opposite direction - there's not much suspension to speak of, and the short wheelbase means you rock around a lot more on uneven

Since Wasmtime can run programs built for Wasm GC, I'm curious if this can as well. Would be neat if so.

That reads to me as what they'll do if the import tariff situation changes, not if the company changes the price themselves. Which seems like a reasonable thing to say given the massive uncertainty around US economic policy at the mome

Very cool to see attempts at reusing old electronics like this. We need more of this kind of thing, and we need more devices built in a modular way to make it possible.

This actually makes me a lot more likely to sign up for Kagi! I've been hearing good things about it so I've been interested, but these days I'm very subscription-averse because there's just so dang many of them. But onl

Good article. I think I need to add this book to my reading list now. I'm not sure I fully agree with the conclusion, though, that we can't change the tech and can only change ourselves. I think there's a lot of room to explo

Old ThinkPads still work great as it happens, but these days I use an MNT Reform. MacBooks definitely aren't the only option!

This is amazing and I'm so glad this is happening. Please consider keeping the version of the Pebble OS running on the new watches open source to preserve access to it going forward, and if you can keep the hardware designs OSHW as wel

As a Pebble user to this day (I'm wearing one right now in fact) this is amazing! I'm hopeful that this leads to development and fixes on these old devices that haven't been possible until now. And who knows, maybe we could e

As a user I always wished Firefox OS had stuck around - I think it would absolutely be practical today with so many PWAs around these days, and KaiOS seems to have done surprisingly well on its Firefox OS base.

The section titled "Verifying the Build" describes recompilation of the software with the same build toolchain and so on as a difficult task, but that's exactly what tools like Guix do for you. It's true that a build tha

Accessibility tools are made for humans. If there is information only available visually and not via a screen reader or other accessibility tools, that is a problem that needs to be addressed.

Yeah, likewise. I'm a Bitwarden subscriber but I'd been looking into alternatives recently because of the licensing kerfuffle. But switching password managers is a pain, so I'm glad to not feel like I have to now.

Guix is a Nix-like package manager and distro that is almost entirely written in Guile Scheme: https://guix.gnu.org/ I would guess it's by far the most active Guile project.

I wonder if the fact that mature corals are stationary makes it harder for them to adapt. If the surviving corals are too far apart, it could be that they're unable to reproduce sexually. Coral larvae seem to be mobile until they find

Probably not quickly enough. Ecosystems can adapt if given enough time, but the recent rise in ocean temperatures has happened very quickly by evolutionary standards. There was a good episode of PBS Weathered on this recently if you want an

Right. Design our cities so that getting around while getting exercise is safe and easy. And restaurants/etc should give you healthy portion sizes by default, not rely on your self-control to stop eating. And so on...
