I always love seeing modern technology on old hardware. The Dreamcast was an amazing machine in a beautiful form factor.

I have a Framework 13, and I'm excited about this. I've been looking forward to moving to RISC-V for years now. I'm one of those weirdos who is willing to pay more for less performance. I guess they know their customers.

I am really happy with my fw13. I love everything of it.
I even made the simulation of upgrading to 64gb of ram just after I bought it to prove myself that it was the right choice.
I cannot think of going back to buying something I know I'll most likely have to replace entirely after some time because it cannot be upgraded.
Just wanted to chime in that I love my Framework 13 as well. It's been running great on Ubuntu for well over a year now--no complaints.

OK, but how did they make Internet Explorer 3 use wolfSSL?
Surely it's not supported natively, given that MSIE3 predates the library by a decade.
I wanted to know this as well. I'm guessing that the author created a drop-in substitute for the SSL library it already head.
Any reasonable person can see that there's much greater danger in allowing a child to ride in a car on a highway--which no doubt would be considered perfectly acceptable by these police. Look at this visualization of cause of death by age: https://wisqars.cdc.gov/data/lcd/home. For those kids, the number one cause of death is "unintentional injury," the biggest component of which is motor vehicle crashes. Unfortunately, these police wield incredible power in our legal system, and, as a lawyer, I don't see any easy fix. It makes me sad that I'll be raising my child in this kind of environment.

Anyone wanna bet it’s GIMP?
Can’t imagine why they didn’t print the name.
gregwtmtno commented on The Kobayashi Maru of comparing dates with times zachholman.com/posts/koba... · Posted by u/holman
I never understood why programmers have such a hard time with time. There are two and only two pieces of information you need to work with time: seconds past the epoch and location. Everything else is applying legal and social context to the actual data.
Here both of those pieces of information are missing on all three questions, so no answers can be given. Any answer to these questions makes assumptions or deductions about those pieces of information.

Does anyone have a rec for great iOS Gemini client?
How well hailed is Russ Feingold? Got 'rewarded' by being voted out of office and forgotten.
Nice to hear Russ's name on HN. Not completely forgotten I see. He also opposed the Patriot Act when it was extremely popular which I thought was courageous.

I'm always amazed by comments like this... I've traveled to cities all over the US, wandered around streets late at night, hung out in seedy bars, and generally look pretty scruffy and never once has anyone offered me drugs.
Maybe they think I'm a narc.
It's the opposite. If you're being offered "drugs" by people on the street, it's because you look like a mark.
