> Unfortunately (to me) the focus on ease-of-use has meant that OpenTelemetry concepts are structured in such a way to preclude even the possibility of a very efficient implementat…

Domain experts may lie, they might be sure that idea will never work but still propose it in order to increase company valuation, get funding, etc. Example: self-driving cars. Prob…

Class diagrams, the most used of UML diagram types, are not exactly for system design, they're too low-level, and yes, "Round-trip engineering" that generates code from class diagr…

What are key differences between Hypercard and "Rapid Application Development", "Visual Programming" tools like Visual Basic? Visual Basic is not dead, it's still in development (a…

Replacing iPhone battery feels like reassembling a mechanical watch. It isn’t soldered, but it’s glued in weird way requiring applying heat. To change battery, you have to disconne…

At least they don't ban nudity in album cover art (it's very common in cover art). Including in third-party apps like Spotify.

Topmost bar still consists of lots of unused space with clock in the center — a design decision surely copied from old mobile phones. Too much of screen space is wasted, in the mos…

I don't like how mouse scrolling works in Firefox. I can't determine exact details what's wrong (jitter? inertia? delay?), but it feels subtly broken, and after a while it makes me…

Does it have campaign mode? Last time I tried it few years ago, it only allowed to start arbitrary maps like in multiplayer. Upd: seems that no, it doesn’t. Relevant issues: https:…

Multimedia died in late 90s. No one no longer wanted to read text in tiny unscrollable unsearchable rectangle with "real book-like" page flipping animation and colorful textured ba…

They also had HomeSite (originally by Allaire, then bought by Macromedia), which is also a text editor. However, it seems that they abandoned it right after acquisition of Macromed…

But font antialiasing was available starting from Windows 95 with Microsoft Plus!. I don't remember for sure, but I doubt browsers were exception and didn't use system-wide font an…

Much better article from official blog: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/new-product-raspberry-pi-hi...

Is this website about internal combustion engine fuels? Or it's just an aggregator of all american newspapers? I thought HN is something about software and programming.

Is there link to this story on something other than ultra-mainstream media?

Something that only understandable by the group of 50s scifi freaks that make this website, I think. Barely has any real meaning.

At first I thought it's about loans for dialup internet which uses PPP.

Looks like a crutch for poor managery practices which are very common in today's IT companies: management stubbornly wants to get rid of ancient technology of writing and to return…

Linked article about DMA-based cheats is even more interesting: https://blog.esea.net/esea-hardware-cheats/

They don't define hardware in this project. It supports only nRF52840 for now, but I don't think it's too much tied to it and that it cannot be ported to something other.

Not sure if STM32L432 is more "open source" than nRF52840 (does latter require blobs for radios?), but I think OpenSK can be ported to STM32 too. It's probably easier to port TockO…

For Linux distributions and even Homebrew on Mac OS nothing will change as they're not using "official binaries".
