I thought about Fossil too, once I read the article. I don't even know what version I'm on and never even think about it.

> First, enforcing a youth social media ban raises major ethical concerns. Enforcement efforts invade people’s privacy and are likely to hurt marginalized people more. For example,…

I use this framework to build prototype applications and it's always a delight. Something about Lua just feels right. Once I'm satisfied with a demo or prototype, I later on port i…

That's not really a bad thing, IMHO. Many people successfully make a living creating niche products.

They just offered free batteries.

Nope. I don't think they even recognized the defect till many years later (probably for legal reasons?). For users, that were still under warranty - they offered free RTC batteries…

I appreciate the response, but my suggestion would be to offer a mail-in service program so that users don't have to fiddle with potentially dangerous soldering (ideally Framework …

The permanent fix involves soldering stuff on the mainboard, which I don't have any prior experience. The RTC substitute module you mention is just the ML220 coin battery that will…

I purchased the first generation of FW13 laptops and got burned. The CMOS/RTC battery drains if not plugged in so the laptop never keeps proper time. I don't think I've ever used a…

I don't think it's UB if you init the struct before using it atomically from multiple threads.

I switched to Orion from Safari a few months ago and so far loving it. I tried Orion a couple of years ago but it wasn't as reliable. Now it seems very stable and the kagi search i…

One can use `@(require_results)` to force the user to check for error. That paired with `or_return` or `or_else` in Odin mostly take away all foot guns.

I'll add another point i.e. Odin is effectively done from a language point of view unlike Zig or others. The project is currently working on improving the std library and toolchain…

Odin supports multiple returns and the `make` proc returns an error value that can be optionally checked.

Great write up and I share very similar ideas. But I wish there was something a little more than a library where people with similar interests can actually socialize and build a se…

I think it makes it obvious that the string 's' will be mutated.

How exactly?

Can't comment on RTTI, but lack of conditional imports are indeed an annoyance but I'm willing to put up with it because of all the other niceties in the language.

Just curious, other than taking Vitamin D pills - what are some natural diets that are rich in Vitamin D?

AFAIK, Apple's CoreFoundation CFArray also works similarly[0]. NSMutableArray works little differently (using a circular buffer). From the always excellent Cichenowski[1]. [0] - ht…

Thanks for making this. Sometimes I want to just write a quick note and serve as a static html file and this is very useful for that purpose.
