I really like this concept (though the post is terribly named as others have said). "Databases that are easy to make as documents" is so obvious that you wonder why it isn't more o…

man, HN is awesome

just because it is digital doesn't mean it has to be a microcontroller though, right?? i see no reason this wouldnt just be a state machine or whatever out of plain old logic.

this is great, thanks for pointing to it! been looking for this ideal sort of RSS reader

This is awesome! Just so you know, you are legally obligated to do Bad Apple when interest dies down.

Certainly not a "Rust UX _expert_", but I do find GPUI interesting. Some nice examples here of not-"just text/button widget programs": https://github.com/longbridge/gpui-component

I tested with 1.1.1.1 first, didn’t get anything, and gave up for the night. Maybe I should put a different provider as DNS backup? (any DNS gurus to say that that’s a bad idea?)

This is coming in the next release of Kicad: https://forum.kicad.info/t/post-v9-new-features-and-developm... The rate of development since V6 is crazy fast IMO. Very much an OSS su…

Thoughts on Zephyr? Especially wrt code size. I've heard all kinds of things regarding the requirement for it with Nordic chips

Who says you can’t make a library that does both? Rust makes it pretty easy to conditionally compile code based on architecture. It could even be possible to make some sort of “ABA…

TIL this github "list" feature. neat

What would you consider the “RISC-V equivalent” of TrustZone? Last time I was curious I didn’t find anything. (FWIW I agree with the other commenter that these ""security"" feature…

that page + the book Hacker's Delight are a big part of the reason I am so convinced of this :) If compilers/languages/standard libraries provided these bit permutations, and it wa…

The more and more bit-hacks I see, the more convinced I am that they should be handled by a cleverer compiler. Some intrinsic(s) where you say “do x, y, to these bits” and it just …

At least in my iOS 18 Passwords app, the passwords are shown in a monospace font that (probably deliberately) differentiates all these (e.g. a slashed zero).

I wouldn’t call it a pet peeve but I understand where you’re coming from with this: but I think the main reason for it is electronic engineers, with little-to-no product design or …

The cheap option is https://github.com/ataradov/usb-sniffer which is actually by the same guy as the OP :) Open hardware so you could build your own for fairly cheap. I bought a cl…

You mean, like this? https://probe.rs/docs/tools/debugger/

Great article. You would hope this feature was more readily exposed on USB-C laptops where it makes a bit more sense… oh well.

I thought it was just supposed to be a pun on “gen’ AI”

Yes: because Apple actually got this added to the spec: https://www.usb.org/document-library/usb-type-cr-cable-and-c... which is the real story IMO (I am impressed no one bothered …

Did the manufacturer really think they would get away with such blatant shenanigans? I imagine the lawsuit for this is going to be open and shut.

Anyone else feeling the frequency illusion with rep movsb? ( https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/reptar.html )
