apple's usb-c port placement strikes again. the port for the wall-mounted one is apparently in the middle of the back, so you'll have to take it off the wall or risk damaging your usb-c cables by trying to keep them between the device and the wall. if it was just on the bottom (like an iphone or ipad) you could leave it hanging there while plugged in to a nearby outlet

i don't see any changes in the fork of KhiCAS's giac that would suggest something like that.

https://github.com/tommyb3ll/ti-ce-giac https://github.com/tommyb3ll/ti-ce-giac/blob/main/kintg.cc#L...

why do you think it's unlikely? if KhiCAS does it, why wouldn't this fork?

is this just a total guess? the repository says it's forked from KhiCAS, which is a ti84 port of Giac/Xcas, which can do full Risch integration if necessary

nit: you need a better way of laying out asides/footnotes. when they get bunched up like at the start of this article you start having to scroll full screens back and forth. at least make the numbers on the asides link back to their position in the main text

peesem — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 21:55:44 +0000

plenty are stupid or probably malicious but i'm happy for anything that will maybe convince people to stop making programs that check for a "valid" tld (they always have stale lists). i use an unusual ccTLD and i get told plenty that i've entered an invalid email

read the second sentence of my comment. if you'd like an example of a list that exists but is not on that page (in fact the one i mentioned not being able to remember), see https://news.ycombinator.com/genai-pushback

peesem — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 23:13:30 +0000

is there any place to find a full list of HN's lists? obviously there's the "lists" link at the bottom of the page but that is missing some, e.g. the above /ask (but /asknew is there?) and some others i've heard of but don't remember the link for e.g. a list of comments detected to be anti-ai

edit: just noticed /ask probably isn't there because it's in the navbar, lol. but still

i guess i should say "the way that C++ _did_", although i do want to say "you know what i mean" since they do still share quite a bit

zig doesn't "extend" C in the way that C++ does.

this is one case. there's no proof here that AI will generally do better than human doctors. consider also that the power it has to convince people to push for better medical treatments can also be used to push for worse ones, or to halt standard treatment entirely, at which point it is much harder for the medical system to intervene as they aren't interacting with doctors.

reminds me of Gravitee, except in that game the planets are pre-positioned and you're hitting a golf ball

peesem — Sun, 27 Sep 2026 21:59:02 +0000

why not just use replacements to begin with if you don't want to bother with setting up domains?

"replace example => github.com/example/example" at first, then change to "replace example => gitlab.com/example/example" or similar when there's a migration

(i don't use go, but i hope this is possible and i am confused if it's not)

interesting, YouTube channel Veritasium just published a video on how Enigma was broken during WWII. at the very end they also give message that has yet to be decoded, although apparently they're different.

peesem — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 02:59:05 +0000

"not an expert in zig" but you can't even look at the documentation to find the `@tagName` builtin to do exactly the problem posed?: https://ziglang.org/documentation/0.16.0/#tagName

i can literally google "zig enum to string" and the first result is a reddit post where the given solution is `@tagName`. i'm ready to write this post off as a low-effort ad for C3

peesem — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 19:58:35 +0000

in my experience this is only an issue when headsets are unbalanced between the front and back, since this results in the weight going on your nose/face rather than straight through your head to your neck. the frame's battery is on the back specifically for this reason in addition to the whole thing being relatively light anyway

from en.action.md:

> Redirect or block "Cloudflare Warp" users from accessing your website. And provide a reason if you can.

come on, really? what does this achieve? only thing i can think of is trying to get the user off of WARP, but i can pretty confidently say that before doing that i'll just not use the website. or if i really care about the content i'll turn it off until i'm done and back on it goes

just sort of a general complaint about how much the internet relies on cloudflare and what that means. massive point of failure, erratic browser checks & outright blocking, surveillance
