I wonder if it makes sense to do the nand2tetris course for an absolute beginner since it too has compiler creation in it.

Someone, claiming to be from the Raycast team, in the original HN thread said that they were not aware of the advert or were involved with it in any manner.

For a deep dive into the topic, I will recommend the book - Means of control by Byron Tau [1]

..and It’s Actually Worse Than You Think

It is not a cartoon, it is an interpretation of the position in Bauhaus style.

I don't think so. There might be some, but definitely not a majority.

My biggest complaint is with Firefox - it works fine on my older Mac, but crashes on Tahao and only works after a system restart.

They need to fix Mac OS first. It’s one of the worst OS I have ever used - apps keep crashing, random UI/UX glitches and bad decisions overall.

I’ll probably ditch Mac if this degradation continues.

How does one start acquiring skills like these?

I hadn’t even realized that Apple had rolled out Time in Daylight

Unfortunately, it is not the most accurate. If you wear full sleeved clothing which cover your Apple Watch, it will report wrong numbers.

As an Indian living in a western European country - I very much prefer the gray/ neutral colors here. I always found the excessive and ugly use of color in India overwhelming. Though, I agree, a bit of more colors in winter wear would be nice.

I have a similar setup with Tailscale and Nginx Proxy Manager.

Are you streaming Netflix through your tunnel as well?

Yep!

I have a RPi 5 running as a Tailscale exit node in my parent's house in a developing country. The said country does not care much about what people download. qbittorrent-nox makes it very easy to download stuff by just using my browser. Plus, I have access to local, region locked streaming content and very cheap Netflix subscription.

Took me about 6 months to finish it. But it was such a fun read! I would put it in the leagues of Making of the Atomic Bomb and Emperors of Maladies.

Android has Desktop Mode now - https://www.androidauthority.com/android-q-desktop-mode-demo...

The science and tech is usually always there to tackle problems. It's the political will and policymaking ability which pulls things back.

What does misuse particularly mean here? I couldn't gather that.

Does a child's toy, which is supposed to represent a first aid kit, with the red cross on it constitute a misuse?

Can a random private hospital not use the red cross?

Years back I made a circular progress bar library for Android. Nothing special but it was something that was missing at that time. Surprisingly, 1000+ downloads monthly (according to JitPack) and I still get occasional issues reported on GitHub.

Apple India has one of the worst after sales services. If something goes wrong with your device, they'll charge 2.5k (INR) to just look at it and tell you what is wrong with your device.

TIL Project Gutenberg is blocked in Germany.

I was diagnosed with high BP very early in my life (23-24 yo). The doctor said it is okay to have everything in moderation but asked me to not touch energy drinks.

I'm pretty sure that if the ship is stuck for a long enough time, conspiracies about it will start popping up and will lead to "alternative facts and truths".

I think the eventual limitations on 3rd party apps are coming. A major part of the community has used/ is using the superior 3rd party alternatives, and they need to figure out how to nullify those advantages. It is inevitable because they want that sweet advertisement money for which 3rd party apps are a barrier.

I find white light depressing.

My home city has metro coaches with either yellow or white lights. Me and a few friends of mine would skip the white ones because we found the yellow ones more comforting. On the other hand, my dad prefers white and in a room with types of lighting he will always go for the white ones.

I would add Nokia N9 too.

I agree with you about most parts; specially about more calories = delicious food.

However, most Indian dishes have a restaurant version and a home-made version. The former is enriched with all kind of ingredients that make it heavy and calorie rich but super tasty while the latter is simpler and more suitable as daily food.

Dal makhani is usually a "party dish" which is not consumed on a regular basis. However, it too has a simpler version that is not loaded with butter and cream.

I think you mean palak paneer [1] and with 21 ingredients you're certainly looking at a complex and the "party" version of the dish.

I'm Indian and for me saag is "leafy greens" too. Spinach to be more particular.

The thing is that in India some meanings change with geography and location. For example, for me bhujia meant this [1] for the longest time. However, when I moved to a different part of the country, bhujia also meant potato fritters. Then, there is bhaji which means fried veggies. But some people also call potato fritters as bhaji.

Something very similar - https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/computer-programmi...

Yeah, and we need to change that. This can't be a status quo.
