News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I did a quick search and found it was a gaffe that was corrected in the debate afterwards. The video section was isolated/clipped and spread on TikTok, etc.

Surely there must be an official fact-checking website for the election.

This is great! Love the pixel art and tunes.

Just to clarify, Photopea is not open-source software.
Turbo Pascal looks can be translated to Turbo Vision, the name of the UI framework used in Borland’s ’90s Turbo IDEs, which is in the public domain.

Exactly that, same basic functionality as a Wacom, active digitizer stylus.

Thanks, I’ll check it out

My favourite project to run these old games was Boxer (1). Based on dosbox, it creates a runnable self contained disk (app) for each game or set of games / software. It is pretty neat, but I am not sure if it has been maintained recently.

That is great battery life! I also wanted to try Linux, but I think I’ll lose the wacom feature. I also use it as a thin client for my Linux machines, and jointly with my Mac means I have access to all platforms.

Surface has seen so many iterations, some terrible, some nice. Still rocking the discontinued surface laptop studio as Wacom on the go, smallish footprint (14”) creative development machine. I just love its quirkiness and the fact that I can jump on photoshop to touch up an image, use it as tablet for movies, or vs code for (not great nowadays) 6h on battery. It is an odd intersection.

Re:Antigravity IDE on Sunday May 24, 2026 @06:11AM (#48256034)
Google is listening (reading) HN and (re)launched Antigravity IDE with the ability to import settings from VSCode or existing Antigravity installation. Working great.
Re:Google's Antigravity Bait and Switch on Friday May 22, 2026 @03:24AM (#48233008)
I had exactly the same experience, and thought what a way to kill an IDE. Not sure what their strategy is, but people were already fleeing back to vscode or zed. This seems like the final nail in the coffin.
Re:Native Instruments Is Bought Out on Monday May 11, 2026 @06:32PM (#48101593)
Their hardware evolved well and their K series keybeds are really solid. Once you install the Komplete software with all the synths and samples it is a lot of fun, if not only by the sheer amount and diversity. Although when you have access to software like Garage Band for free you kinda wonder. I wish they were a bit more open though, we’ll see what happens now.
Re:CARA 2.0 – "I Built an Better Robot Dog" on Wednesday May 06, 2026 @06:17AM (#48034506)
This is pretty cool, thanks for sharing. I wish there was a (mostly) 3d printable Cara mini, but I’ll start with Cara.
