Isn’t this the same company that had the trademark dispute with Iceland the country?

It would be really nice if you could add options for some common visas. US Green Card holders and holders of Canadian, UK, Schengen and a few other visas get vastly greater coverage than their original passports would by themselves.
Re:KiCad 10.0.0 Release on Friday March 20, 2026 @01:42PM (#47457988)
Such a well-written release notes page. I like how someone took the time to credit people for each feature that was added.
I have 1,2,6 and 8 plus part of 5 and 7 (remote lock, unlock, status and GPS tracking, heated and cooled seats) on my 4-year old Hyundai Tucson. Not expensive and a very good value for money car. Made in Alabama.
TIer here. I used to work on OMAP USB back in the day, including on the OMAP3 and this particular board. Mainly Linux drivers, so not directly on the boot behavior which was done by ROM code. Fond memories and nice to see this pop up today. I’m generally curious if Doug ever asked about the behavior on the linux-usb mailing list or elsewhere and what the response was. There were a few of us from that time that might have been able to help.
Doug, thanks for mentioning this. I didn’t realize pass-through ones existed. I’ll check out the one you have. Nice article btw.
Re:Citigroup credits account with $81tn instead of $280 on Saturday March 01, 2025 @09:20AM (#43219461)
This was really hilarious! And this last judgement has all of the comical history from the beginning!

Note that this article is related to the Nintendo e-Reader, which is an ~2002 add-on to a Nintendo GameBoy gaming device and not an e-book reader.
Re:The Toyota Prius Transformed the Auto Industry on Saturday January 18, 2025 @04:13PM (#42751467)
I think you meant gallons and not litres. At least the Prius prime seems to have a 10.6 gallon tank.
Thanks!
Weirdly two other Japanese automakers, Mazda and Honda, said the same thing: that they had been testing improperly. Maybe this was brought up by some changes at the regulatory body?

Thank you for this link. I've been using nvtop so far but nvitop's look seems to be exactly what I would prefer as well.

Any users of GnuCash here? Folks recommending Excel may be missing the value double-entry accounting brings.

I first learnt of this from this YouTube video that popped up on my feed.

Worth a watch.

Re:Gooey: My take on a Rusty GUI framework on Saturday December 23, 2023 @09:41AM (#38744526)
The name conflicts with a similar python module that allows one to turn any Python console program into a GUI with one line.

Re:Component Programming in D on Monday October 09, 2023 @10:24PM (#37827910)
Very interesting article. I wish it were also linked from the main dlang.org pages.
A shout out to Day One (https://dayoneapp.com/). That has gotten me into the habit of Journaling for over three years now. Maybe the dedicated Apple app will be nice, but the free version of Day One is quite usable and the paid option isn't too steep if you find it useful.
Re:Pythonista 3.4 for iOS with Python 3.10 is out on Friday April 28, 2023 @12:21PM (#35743448)
Glad to see an update to Pythonista. It was beginning to look like a dead project, especially with all the spam in their forums.
Re:Ask HN: What's the best lecture series you've ever seen? on Tuesday January 31, 2023 @08:08AM (#34594574)
+1 to this. I came across this course in a past thread in HN and worked my way through the lectures around end-2020. Took me 3 months but I really enjoyed this series.
Re:Ask HN: What's the best lecture series you've ever seen? on Tuesday January 31, 2023 @06:21AM (#34593788)
Some good ones from Stephen Boyd - helped me really grok the subjects. Signals and Systems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gPuUVYImiQ&list=PLpGHT1n4-m... Linear Dynamical Systems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bf1264iFr-w&list=PL06960BA52...

This series on Finance Theory by Andrew Lo unfolded just during the 2007-08 crisis - so that's an added bonus as the lectures refer to ongoing events sometimes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdHlfiOAJyE&list=PLUl4u3cNGP...
