Readit NewsSide topic, I would love to see it become easier in general for applications to be developed on mobile platforms.
I am not a big fan of Kotlin but I'd love to be able to write a mobile application that uses native window library in Rust or C++.
Same goes for Apple.
But their platforms are so locked down that no matter what language you pick, you always end up having to write _some_ Kotlin/Swift to connect it to the native UI elements or register background services or whatever.
I don't know if it would have been the case, but I wonder if the Windows phone would have been more open to different development sources than Android or iOS. Linux powered devices are cool but sadly they don't have the years of polish and apps required to make them practical daily drivers.
You can develop iOS apps in C++ if you hate yourself…
I've implemented a change to the game's instructions that clarifies that the user needs to enter a denary (base-10) number and not binary (base-2). Hopefully that should make it a bit easier for people to understand how to play!
After you enter you get the error to enter a deanery number, if you unfocused the tab, the binary number gets entered automatically anyway
I made the mistake of diving a bit deeper into the group who bought it and found a proposal where they are talking about literally burning the book they just bought after digitizing it for … reasons I guess [0]
At this point I just hope its some sort of practical joke or whatever because this just seems a bit much.

Let’s suspend disbelief for a moment and pretend everything worked as they say, in what world is giving access to the book to the few people that pay for the nft, “democratising”?
I'm curious how you achieve this? Is it similar to Calibre-web's Send to device? Or did you code the conversions yourself (or are you using an external service) and emailing the file?
Are you also providing the reading experience or sending the converted file raw to use in another program's reader?
You use the webapp from your target device, then when you select a book, it's converted on the server (I use mostly Kindle Comic Coverter and Calibre ebook-convert), then served as a regular html download and opened in a native reader.
This works particularly well from Kindle, so I never have to connect it to a computer, and I don't have any email size limit which is quite easy to go over with comics
Looks nice, I've been rolling my own simple version of something similar because none of the existing solutions supported my main use case, which is to convert format on the fly for the target device (a la Plex)
In case you need ideas for future features :)

Holding up quite well despite HN frontpage. I love what a bit of caching can do.
EDIT: appears I jinxed it. I get the allure of hosting something in your home, but these days when you can get a decent VPS for $10/yr it doesn’t really make sense.
Sorry for the ot, but do you have any recommendation for $10 vps?

If you have learned them, it's not too late. Martin Gardner mentioned an algorithm that doesn't work layer by layer, but instead starts off with all manipulations available, and gradually restricts which ones are admissible. In principle, just at the point no moves are admissible, the cube is also solved.
In that oh so distant future when I have nothing else to do, I'd like to try to work out this approach for myself.
Sounds interesting, do you have any source on this? tried googling but couldn't find anything...

That’s like 4 SV devs working a year.
And just in salaries, not including payroll taxes, office space, admins, QAs, etc.
850k sounds eminently reasonable for such an undertaking in such a short period of time.
That's what I'm saying, it's the 11M that's not reasonable...
I had almost worked out myself how it worked by playing those special tape in a normal recorder.
