I used to run a similar software[1] for when I was really into playing F1 racing games. However one of the problems I found was the initial disconnect in your head and eye movement that took some getting used to.

For example, if you want to look left to see an upcoming turn, naturally your eyes move before your head, and your head follows after. With this software enabled, you have to consciously inverse the process where your head moves a direction, but your eyes still remain looking forward at the screen.

It took a some getting used to and resulting in some dizziness afterwards, but was fun.

It's the colloquial name of an insect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coccinellidae

Was it not possible to already create a comparible e-ink screen, long life battery, smart watch without the source code? Is it the pebble branding itself that is important somehow?

This article lists a large amount of pitfalls when trying to do just that: https://fasterthanli.me/articles/just-paying-figma-15-dollar...

And this isn't some esoteric use case used as an excuse. The core need the author has is "export my diagram to SVG and have it render the same in all browsers".

Staffpad is recent acquisition which is why they are now able to share technology like this: https://mu.se/

Either it's good at explaining and is right, or is bad at explaining and is wrong.

Applying the logic of it being "right most of the time" seems really bad for a tool applied to a reference documentation website.

I don't think a reference website should include any sort of feature that can hallucinate incorrect documentation for you on demand.

It's bad enough that they have to include a disclaimer[1] on their upsell page, which states that the "AI Help" may occassionally return incorrect results.

Ideally I would like a standalone device to display TOTP codes, but the only devices I've found only have a support for a single code.

I guess a feature phone with a custom app is the next best thing.

It's a popular copypasta that gets used in esports discussions whenever an EU team beats an NA team harshly.

"NA" as term in esports just refers to teams primarily based in the US or Canada.

I would guess they are simplying sponsoring this legislation sincerly without understanding the privacy ramifications if it passed.

It's the first sentence in the History section

It would be illegal specifically if you _collected and stored_ the IP address information from the phone home requests to process in some form later.

If you simply process the web request, and don't store the IP address then there it no issue.

If you do end up storing IP address in a log somewhere, then simply having the logs deleted in a documented and reasonable timeframe will be enough.

"Documented and reasonable timeframe" is intentionally vague since business requirements are varied, but if you can justify whatever you come up with, then there is no issue.

Simply do not hold onto user data for longer that what is required for the purposes of the user request. That's it.

This really does encapsulate the average Hackernews commenter

37Signals have both their Basecamp and Hey.com products which act very much like a single page app but only using Turbo and Stimulus.

I think the rails devs believe that single page apps are overused and the majority of functionality can be done using just the provided tools.

Imagine, during a war, a missile that has been set to target a city. The casualties will be many, and random, and innocent, but this is wartime and horrible things happen.

Now, imagine that this missile is set to target the city, but will launch at a random time in the future. The missile may launch during the war, or many years after.

Now it's obvious to me that the missile that lauches at the random point in the future is more evil than the one fired immediately.

It's a poor analogy, but the random missile is how I view landmines.

If people die due to landmines many years after a ceasefire are they a casualty of the war?

I think landmines represent a physical device that artifically extends the destruction of war in a time that is way after the parties may have agreed to peace. In that sense, the landmine inflicts death on people with no agency. A bomb dropped on a someone has intent and an army responsible for it. A landmine planted decades ago is so divorced from its original intent that any resulting death or injury feels random and injust.

Not sure exactly what this implies other than they are likely to care more about the quality of the local river water.

I'm honestly not even sure that there are any good ARM based SoCs to make a laptop mainboard from, but given what we've seen from Apple's development of their iPhone chips being integrated into laptop and desktop, I wonder if something similar could be done with other existing ARM CPUs from Samsung or Nvidia?

The Playdate is a novel, low-powered, handheld console intended for experiemental indie game design and has been marketed as such.

Comparisons to a Nintendo Switch or a Steam Deck seem very pointless since these consoles are very much not targeting the same end users. It would be like complaining that you shouldn't buy a Raspberry Pi since a Mac Mini is better for your average user.

I agree that the price is a bit steep, but that is to be expected when you are not producing at a volume.

It's unclear to me though if it is deliberate in this way for there not to be many cultural exports like this and if having a strong domestic scene is enough, however purely from a number game I would have expected more (which the author goes onto address later in the essay in the section "Strangling the cultural sector")
