I used to run a similar software[1] for when I was really into playing F1 racing games. However one of the problems I found was the initial disconnect in your head and eye movement that took some getting used to.

For example, if you want to look left to see an upcoming turn, naturally your eyes move before your head, and your head follows after. With this software enabled, you have to consciously inverse the process where your head moves a direction, but your eyes still remain looking forward at the screen.

It took a some getting used to and resulting in some dizziness afterwards, but was fun.

It's the colloquial name of an insect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coccinellidae

Was it not possible to already create a comparible e-ink screen, long life battery, smart watch without the source code? Is it the pebble branding itself that is important somehow?

I made an ask post like this in 2019 and I'm sort of curious to how things have changed over the years: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20857818

This article lists a large amount of pitfalls when trying to do just that: https://fasterthanli.me/articles/just-paying-figma-15-dollar...

And this isn't some esoteric use case used as an excuse. The core need the author has is "export my diagram to SVG and have it render the same in all browsers".

Staffpad is recent acquisition which is why they are now able to share technology like this: https://mu.se/

Either it's good at explaining and is right, or is bad at explaining and is wrong.

Applying the logic of it being "right most of the time" seems really bad for a tool applied to a reference documentation website.

I don't think a reference website should include any sort of feature that can hallucinate incorrect documentation for you on demand.

It's bad enough that they have to include a disclaimer[1] on their upsell page, which states that the "AI Help" may occassionally return incorrect results.

"advertising may be immoral, but it also helps pays for the content you watch, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,"

Ideally I would like a standalone device to display TOTP codes, but the only devices I've found only have a support for a single code.

I guess a feature phone with a custom app is the next best thing.

It's a popular copypasta that gets used in esports discussions whenever an EU team beats an NA team harshly.

"NA" as term in esports just refers to teams primarily based in the US or Canada.

I would guess they are simplying sponsoring this legislation sincerly without understanding the privacy ramifications if it passed.

It's the first sentence in the History section

It would be illegal specifically if you _collected and stored_ the IP address information from the phone home requests to process in some form later.

If you simply process the web request, and don't store the IP address then there it no issue.

If you do end up storing IP address in a log somewhere, then simply having the logs deleted in a documented and reasonable timeframe will be enough.

"Documented and reasonable timeframe" is intentionally vague since business requirements are varied, but if you can justify whatever you come up with, then there is no issue.

Simply do not hold onto user data for longer that what is required for the purposes of the user request. That's it.

This really does encapsulate the average Hackernews commenter

37Signals have both their Basecamp and Hey.com products which act very much like a single page app but only using Turbo and Stimulus.

I think the rails devs believe that single page apps are overused and the majority of functionality can be done using just the provided tools.
