Don’t forget that SpaceX has 3.884 billion outstanding shares!

Just wait for the hyperscalers to follow suit

The screenshot of the Facebook post says they purchased the sets for approximately $20,000.

Note that many Rust libraries consist of multiple crates, which all end up in the dependency graph. This makes the number of dependencies seem higher than it actually is: the separate crates have the same maintainers and are often part of the same upstream git repo.

I agree with the general sentiment though. Rust also has a lot of crates that are stuck semi-unmaintained at some 0.x version, often with no better alternative.

since Apple saved money on not participating in the AI data-center fiasco

They have unused custom built AI servers sitting in warehouses: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47221264

Forgejo also has a roadmap for federation but it looks like development is progressing rather slowly: https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation/src/branch/m...

ZFS on Linux has had many bugs over the years, notably with ZFS-native encryption and especially sending/receiving encrypted volumes. Another issue is that using swap on ZFS is still guaranteed to hang the kernel in low memory scenarios, because ZFS needs to allocate memory to write to swap.

I'm seeing 4-4.5 Watt idle. I've disabled WiFi in the BIOS (using wired Ethernet) and ran `powertop --auto-tune`, but not much else.

I’m using an ASUS NUC 14 Essential Kit N355. It’s a bit more expensive than the Pi 5, but also more powerful (8 cores and decent GPU). There is also a more affordable N150 model. And even lower budget are the N150 mini PCs from Chinese manufacturers, but they often mess up things like cooling in a hardware revision (compared to the favorable review that you’d read).

And forgot to mention this before: Intel CPUs with built-in GPUs have very performant and energy efficient hardware video codecs, whereas the Raspberry Pi 5 is limited and lacks software support.

This is exactly why I’ve to replaced my home server by a low-power x86 NUC instead. No custom build needed to run NixOS and idle power consumption turns out to be slightly lower than the Raspberry Pi 5.

They sent out an email to clarify that there will be no age verification and that the '18 or older' rule was introduced to avoid that:

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service (Zed’s AI-enabled software-as-a-service offering, including features like account creation/sign in, Zed Free and Zed Pro, and collaboration). See https://zed.dev/terms#21-eligibility. We set the threshold at 18 due to children's data privacy obligations under COPPA, equivalent international frameworks, and an increasing number of state and regional laws that extend protections to anyone under 18. Those regulations require parental consent verification, age-gated data handling, and separate retention policies for minors. Building and maintaining that infrastructure is a real cost for a small team, and getting it wrong carries regulatory risk. Setting the line at 18 lets us maintain a single privacy framework for all account holders without carve-outs.

The hardware is great, but the software is lacking. macOS only supports resolution-based scaling which makes anything but the default 200% pixel scaling mode look bad. For example, with a 27" 4K display many users will want to use 150% or 175% scaling to get enough real estate, but the image will look blurry because macOS renders at a higher resolution and then downscales to the 4K resolution of the screen.

Both Windows and Linux (Wayland) support scaling the UI itself, and with their support for sub-pixel anti-aliasing (that macOS also lacks) this makes text look a lot more crisp.

Microsoft MS-DOS and Windows supported this in the 90s with DriveSpace, and modern file systems like btrfs and zfs also support transparent compression.

Issues caused by restoring from backups were super common in the early iOS days. It makes me wonder how many weird bugs can be fixed these days by starting from scratch instead of migrating years of cruft through backup/restore.

They might not be dependent on ad revenue, but they are a greedy company that will not leave any money on the table. Next year, more ads are coming to the App Store that already generates a profit of over $10 billion/year: https://9to5mac.com/2025/12/17/apple-announces-more-ads-are-...

MacOS doesn’t have a gatekeeper status in the Digital Markets Act (DMA), so Apple doesn’t need to provide it. This shows that they only provide the SDK because of regulatory pressure, and try to maintain their vendor lock-in where possible.

Multipoint connectivity is part of the spec but apparently AirPods only support it if you pretend to be an Apple device.

The AoC author also posted about this on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/1ocwh04/chang...

There is one, developed by the Zed team in collaboration with Gemini. And Claude Code is also supported now.

Immich has an iPhone app that should be able to pull photos from your photo library (and thus iCloud Photos) and upload them to Immich, but it might take a while compared to uploading from a Mac.

They had a few more variants in the same era, such as WordProcessingML for Word: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office_XML_formats

Commercially available solutions seem to use a flow of nitrogen to purge condensation from the nozzle, which is quite a bit more complicated: https://www.weh.com/en_us/general-news/preventing-the-fuelin...

Yes, you can refill quicker

Unless the hydrogen fueling nozzle freezes to the car, which is apparently quite common in high humidity weather and/or when multiple cars are fueled consecutively. See e.g. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S036031992...

In The Netherlands, weather companies sued the national weather service because their new app was seen as competing with their interests, but they lost the court case (summary proceedings): https://www.rechtspraak.nl/Organisatie-en-contact/Organisati...

GPUs need an audio driver to send digital audio over HDMI or DisplayPort, I haven’t seen GPUs with an analog audio out (no DAC).

Fiber investment in The Netherlands from the big telcos is now fully based on XGS-PON. Many homes that already had fiber installed do have the technically superior AON (a dedicated fiber to the home), but it seems like investment in this infrastructure has stopped.

The current situation is one where XGS-PON users can get 5Gbps subscriptions, whereas AON users are stuck at 1Gbps - seemingly because the telcos aren’t upgrading their point-of-presence hardware to support anything beyond 1Gbps.

JPEG XL also supports re-encoding existing JPEG files to decrease file size while keeping the original file quality. That really seems like useful feature but so far I haven’t seen any tooling (in macOS) to re-encode my existing photo library.

In The Netherlands it is recommended to introduce peanut and egg to babies between 4 and 6 months, to reduce the chances of food allergy.
