That’s what I thought too. The author appears to have tried every obvious debugging step, except for switching away from US Mobile. I’ve been using US Mobile myself for a little ov…

I think you forgot one.

You can also use “shift + enter” to add a newline to your input, without telling the browser to take your input yet.

Maybe someone here can do it, but I can't. The Makefile tries to include something at `/usr/lib/nib/app.make`, and I don't have anything there. There are some clues at https://unix…

Nicely done! I thought I was cool when I soldered my kit keyboard from KBDFans; now I gotta step up my game! Do you have a .GIF for that rotating rainbow effect, or a sound test?

Sounds like a believable explanation. > I created my account two years ago in anticipation of being able to open-source more code and I wanted to reserve my name; I had a couple of…

This is from 2014. Was there ever any resolution to this? I don’t see any previous discussions about this on HN.

Thanks for that; this was a bit before my time. Here’s the link, if anyone wants to be entertained: https://opensource.com/life/12/5/whats-beefy-miracle-anyway-...

I spotted this while reading a wonderful account of the history of 3d graphics in games at https://www.filfre.net/2023/05/the-next-generation-in-graphi... ; I thought it was worth …

Would you care to elaborate on what went wrong? The other comments here make ‘automatic emergency braking’ sound like a really good idea, and it’s hard for me to imagine that this …

> Byte Order Marks have stolen hours and days of my life. Me too, to some degree. I have discovered them in a Ruby code base at work, in the middle of a line of code (copy pasted),…

As a US citizen, I read it as 45 miles, which is as terrible as I would expect from Facebook.

In middle school I was taught that 5.25" diskettes were "floppies", and 3.5" diskettes were "hard disks", because of the hard plastic case. It was awesome.

I’ve been involved with two different open source projects where, within the last couple of months, users have opened issues complaining about the shell prompts in the documentatio…

What’s with the backlash against Rust? It literally is “just another language”. It’s not the best tool for every job, but it happens to be exceptionally good at this kind of proble…

You don’t need to lower the optimization level to see what happens at the call site: you can turn the function ‘blub’ into a function prototype. The optimizer cannot in-line your c…

If you build your visitor out of lambdas, instead of a struct, you can propagate local state to the visitor easily by using lambda captures. There are good examples of this approac…

Until C++2z rolls out with match support, you can roll your own. Nikolai Wuttke gave a lecture at MeetingCpp 2018 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CELWr9roNno ) that presents code…
