We also have "the moped ring" [1], an 800-gram gold+silver necklace from 500 AD that some kid clipped a piece off to fix their moped. :) This is on display at the Historical Museum in Stockholm, which has a fancy vault-like "

Nice! Micro-fix: you should remove the final `;` in the `FPRINTF()` macro definition, that's supposed to be added at the callsite to keep the syntax natural (for C). :)

I haven't tested either, but I would of course give [1] a try for comparison purposes. If you already have, how did they compare? [1]: https://brunberg.fi/en/tuoteryhma/chocolate/kisses/

I was not familiar with the term, so I had to look it up. It's about code like this: a := b the `:=` looks vaguely like a walrus. The most common reference language seems to be Python [1]. The usage is for making assignment re

Yeah, the 'flat white' espresso/milk drink which is now sold all over the world is from Australia. I guess coming up with a new drink that appeals to people enough to go global happens easier in a place with a coffee culture.

Nice, I found one typo/editing thing though which kind of makes it contradict itself: The first paragraph says: [...] It is minimalistic, untyped, and opinionated. [...] but then under "Notable features" it begins with a bi

PCBs get more expensive with larger area, but it should probably be ok. I hunted down the Gerbers and uploaded to JLCPCB real quick, the cost for the bare PCB at the current size (218x218 mm) is $22 for 5 pieces, excluding shipping. I thoug

Yes, of course there is software to patch firmware of "ancient" optical drives in order to support media that wasn't supported at the time of manufacture. Of course. Sometimes, I actually love 2025 a little bit. Thanks.

But making a counterfeit and going to through the trouble to pointlessly connect incompatible signals makes even less sense, doesn't it? Unless the idea is that it should "look legit" by having something on the inside, I gues

Very nice! I like the tone and flippant energy of the post, of course, and also the way to get a nice scope by having a concrete case of a program to implement. I also appreciated the comparisons against STL, very informative. It's ...

Kind of meta but what is the construction equipment in pic 5?

I don't know anything about the product, but just reading the notes, as soon as I read: With ALL features enabled (CESSB, compression, mic AGC, Transmit equalization, noise gate, phase and amplitude pre-distortion, you name it), the C

Very cool, also amazing that someone did all the work of taking and collecting and storing the material and not accidentally, like, label a roll of film or a print or something. I found it mildly amusing in a meta sort of way that the artic

No, it's quite well-defined as far as I know. Fields must be packed in the order they are declared, and be suitably aligned, basically.

Just for completeness' sake: bit fields are a feature in plain old C too, and the syntax is the same [1]. Their most "obnoxious" feature is that the layout is implementation defined, so they are not very portable between comp

Wow, this looks very interesting and educational. Thanks! Also, I'm certainly no designer, but I wonder if it hadn't looked better if the title had been laid out like: Designing Electronics That Work rather than (

If you indent each line by, uh, something (I use 4 spaces), HN gives you code formatting: class Rect(left, top, right, bottom) fun rect_like_to_rect(v): match v | Rect(_, _, _, _): v | {

I think the third is scroll lock [1]. That one feels quite legacy to me, every time I active it it's by accident and I don't understand why stuff is behaving weirdly. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scroll_

Ah, thanks, then it's not worse than before. :) And yes, the wedding episode is epic although we pretty much love all of it.

Awesome in some kind of retro way, since this a thing that C "never" has had in my experience, it being older (by far) than the web and the idea that new programming languages need to be promoted/anchored to a web site. I cou

True, it's actually quite simple. :) The main point stands though, that this is not about art studios but just small apartments, and the automatic translation messes that up.

I tried to figure out if the translation is correct (the concept of a "studio apartment" in English is not easy to express in Swedish, and "ateljé" is certainly not it). I even found this [1] comment on Reddit, detailing
