I wonder if it makes sense to do the nand2tetris course for an absolute beginner since it too has compiler creation in it.

Someone, claiming to be from the Raycast team, in the original HN thread said that they were not aware of the advert or were involved with it in any manner.

It is not a cartoon, it is an interpretation of the position in Bauhaus style.

New comment by krtkush in "Apple to focus on 'quality and underlying performance' with iOS 27 next year"

I don't think so. There might be some, but definitely not a majority.

My biggest complaint is with Firefox - it works fine on my older Mac, but crashes on Tahao and only works after a system restart.

They need to fix Mac OS first. It’s one of the worst OS I have ever used - apps keep crashing, random UI/UX glitches and bad decisions overall.

I’ll probably ditch Mac if this degradation continues.

> I hadn’t even realized that Apple had rolled out Time in Daylight

Unfortunately, it is not the most accurate. If you wear full sleeved clothing which cover your Apple Watch, it will report wrong numbers.

As an Indian living in a western European country - I very much prefer the gray/ neutral colors here. I always found the excessive and ugly use of color in India overwhelming. Though, I agree, a bit of more colors in winter wear would be nice.

I have a similar setup with Tailscale and Nginx Proxy Manager.

Yep!

I have a RPi 5 running as a Tailscale exit node in my parent's house in a developing country. The said country does not care much about what people download. qbittorrent-nox makes it very easy to download stuff by just using my browser. Plus, I have access to local, region locked streaming content and very cheap Netflix subscription.

Took me about 6 months to finish it. But it was such a fun read! I would put it in the leagues of Making of the Atomic Bomb and Emperors of Maladies.

The science and tech is usually always there to tackle problems. It's the political will and policymaking ability which pulls things back.

What does misuse particularly mean here? I couldn't gather that.

Does a child's toy, which is supposed to represent a first aid kit, with the red cross on it constitute a misuse?

Can a random private hospital not use the red cross?

Years back I made a circular progress bar library for Android. Nothing special but it was something that was missing at that time. Surprisingly, 1000+ downloads monthly (according to JitPack) and I still get occasional issues reported on GitHub.
