Modula 3 is a missed gem to me. Turbo Pascal was still a thing and C/C++ became popular and it was kind of missed that there was a new language that provided many things that were …

The 6510 CPU was easy to programme in assembler and it was supported by a graphics chip VIC and a sound chip SID who both had some fun tricks up their sleeves (not like a graphics …

I think it's not as much a democracy as a market. We sometimes say people vote with their wallet on products, so I see where you come from. Still, in this case I think a market ana…

Big country and many options and all that, but at least with regards to EU support I would say yes, the majority of Germans supports the EU. I would say some regions more than othe…

What does he say? He does not like a few things. Germany is bureaucratic, look at that. Something with reflection that does not further gets explained. No solutions on offer, of co…

I think for users who don't want to learn about their computer and just use it a (new or used) Mac is the best option if you want cover many use cases. Linux on Desktop is especial…

My optimistic interpretation is slightly different. So far the US is still a democracy with a President wo doesn’t take the law too seriously. On the other side every democracy loo…

I like your essay, but I can't see the relation to the HN title.

With just ublock origin lite I get it in position 1 one (after one unrelated ad).

I don't know which version of the iPhone SE you have, there have been several over time. Mine is from 2016 (had to look that up). No update to iOS 18, true. In your specific case y…

Not the original commentator. With Linux I think battery life is ok, but not more. I get about 8h out of it. My battery shows 92% capacity, so there might be a bit more in it.

I think it's great that a company tries to support ARM Linux and brings what looks to me like a Linux first ARM Laptop.

Completely agree with this. Ubuntu installs from the standard ARM installer on the X13s and openSuse Tumbleweed needs a litte help at the start but then runs great. It looks like t…

We had hornets for a summer in a tree in front of the house once. They mostly kept for themself and absolutely no wasps in that year.
