    I feel you. I've been using en-dash in my writing for decades, but finding myself removing them now for fear of being mistaken for an LLM. (They tend to use em-dash, but I don't th…

    Ton of fun! Was interesting to see how my strategy evolved as well. I started out trying to make a large pen, but quickly realized that wouldn't work, so I made a small pen and the…

    I think someone demonstrated in the announcement thread that, adjusting for inflation, the Pi5 is going to be cheaper at release than the Pi4. Ultimately though, at least IMO, the …

    Ehhh, a lot of high level languages support low-level interop. Python, Ruby, etc. It's not something you usually reach for as a user, but rather as a library author. Of course ever…

    Similar issues for me. I can load github.com and my profile, but visiting a repository (or trying to git pull a repo with the https origin) returns a 500.

    Tell HN: Please stop blocking my form submissions with client-side validations

    Okay, I’m not talking to _you_ specifically (unless I am), but for the love of whatever gets you up in the morning: stop blocking form submissions with client-side validations. It …

    Yep! More putting it out there for other folks. I’m also a somewhat frustrated paying customer, but as I’m dealing with my own growing pains, I relate to what they’re going through…

    I don’t know what the person you’re responding to is getting at, but I found the article very useful! Exposing the changeset through the context is also useful in LiveViews when de…

    One of my favorite wireless devices is a Logitech gaming mouse (G903) that I use with a mousepad that is also a charging mat. It uses a low-latency proprietary wireless protocol: h…

    Ask HN: Bluetooth kinda sucks. Why don't we have something better?

    There was a recent, highly upvoted article about the pains of Bluetooth: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32162131 Summarizing only a tiny fraction of the complaints: - Connect…
