asimovDev··on Run macOS Software on Linux
Sadly cheese grater hasn’t cost that little since the first Obama administration
asimovDev··on EVE Online moves to Python 3
No, you gotta tell Claude that you believe in them
asimovDev··on Nvidia agrees to acquire Hugging Face for $13B
beating the dead horse after other dozen comments, but the same reason we use github / gitlab instead of using Savannah
asimovDev··on Omarchy development practices lead to predictable security issues
Been hearing about Omarchy for a while (past half a year if not more), but pretty much exclusively on LinkedIn. I don't remember if I follow DHH but I suppose enough of my connections do either way that I often get recommended posts about Omarchy. But I barely hear about it on reddit and I probably saw it mentioned a couple times here on HN
asimovDev··on Nitter and XCancel receive cease and desist notices
I remember using old.reddit to bypass login requirements and quite often it would let me read with VPN on (otherwise it kicks you out if you are not logged in with VPN on). Only recently did they introduce the same authentication blocks to the old.reddit, so I am assuming everyone was taking advantage of it
asimovDev··on Apple introduces M6 and M5 Ultra
and they will become obsolete much slower if at all compared to when the mac will be barely usable once macos stop supporting it in 8 years or so. although maybe by that time there will be local models that you could run straight on the same mac that will reverse engineer it for you and write linux drivers
asimovDev··on Apple introduces M6 and M5 Ultra
Ultra definitely. M5 Max is too hot for a laptop from hearsay. I have a M3 Max in 14in chassis and it's a jet engine that gets really hot
asimovDev··on Hacking with Claude on a $27 smart watch
seconding the request for the model name. Would love to hack away at this thing
asimovDev··on Hacking with Claude on a $27 smart watch
there are hardware mods iirc that let you use first gen iPads as external displays. Obviously the quality is late 00s , but better than just throwing it away.
asimovDev··on A 3D fruit fly on macOS desktop powered by the real FlyWire connectome
do you mean they should've spent more time writing for other platforms or do you insinuate that they should've shipped a chromium browser instead of writing native software?
asimovDev··on A 3D fruit fly on macOS desktop powered by the real FlyWire connectome
it would've taken the similar amount of time for the OP to do a 10 second screen recording and paste it into the project root to be linkable from the README.md and it would avoid thousands of people having to waste compute cycles and electricity and 30 seconds of their lives cloning and building , wouldn't it?
asimovDev··on Linux 7.3 improves performance when running out of vRAM
wasn't it rendering every pedestrian's teeth in detail as well? hilarious oversight
asimovDev··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)
I wish Apple exposed serial on iOS so that we could just use any generic USB - OBD2 cable on iPhones
asimovDev··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)
Forklifts are essential to Shenmue experience
asimovDev··on Helsinki Hacker News Meetup
There should be an email sent out whenever a meet is organized. WhatsApp group is mostly for choosing the most suitable date and a place , it’s not mandatory for participation
asimovDev··on Azulejo
I just googled it and apparently these are often chipped of historical buildings and sold as tourist souvenirs. Thanks for informing us
asimovDev··on Vehicle Motion Cues
this helped me tremendously when I had to work in the backseat of a moving car. Felt sick pretty quick when I started using the laptop until I remembered about this feature because someone on HN recently posted / commented about it
asimovDev··on Why Sony can't bring back its classic Walkman models
They have an AI assistant on the webpage and it says that the shortcut to activate it is cmd+Q (on Mac this is a global shortcut to quit an application, akin to alt+F4) which is absolutely psychotic. I wonder if in chinese macOS the shortcut is different or something or the person designing it uses windows and just thought ctrl+q(uestion) makes perfect sense
asimovDev··on Jellyfin founder Andrew leaves team
I have a HD TV from 2007 and I still vividly remember having to convert videos to a certain format because it was so picky. IIRC it only played .mp4, most of the movies I had on my external drive back then were .mkv and maybe some .avi , so almost nothing played
asimovDev··on Exploit brokers pay $500k for WordPress RCEs. I found one with GPT5.6 and $25
did you mean Slim, the PHP framework? When I google 'slime framework' i get some machine learning stuff
asimovDev··on Exploit brokers pay $500k for WordPress RCEs. I found one with GPT5.6 and $25
As a junior I am glad I happened to start working with PHP on version 7. I had some peeks at our legacy PHP5 stuff (all killed now thankfully) and it looked very different. I am sure it would suck to work with.
asimovDev··on I also filed the corners off my MacBook
I hate the vents on my work macbook, when I rest it on my lap, the edges dig into my thighs and leave imprints. One time after getting in the flow, I didn't notice how it was cutting into my flesh and ended up with a bruise
asimovDev··on Grok Build is open source
why spend my tokens on it if someone else already did?
asimovDev··on Backtrack-Free Cursive
I have had similar thoughts recently when attending language courses where I write a lot of notes by hand. This problem is exacerbated by umlauts. If the language doesn't have letters like ō (are there any? i only see this letter to represent a sound, never in a word), then the two dots can be replaced with a line and so, I guess, the lowercase T technique from the blog post could be adapted to it. I think I know what I am gonna do after work today
asimovDev··on GhostLock, a stack-UAF that has existed in all Linux distributions for 15 years
TIL OpenBSD doesn't have jails
asimovDev··on Bonnie Tyler has died
I think Shrek would be pro open source software and hardware if he knew what it was, so this makes it HN worthy
asimovDev··on How Kalshi Infects the News
they run ads in the current World Cup for example, greatly increasing their exposure I reckon. Although might not matter, I am assuming they do not operate outside of North America
asimovDev··on Gun Mistakes in Fiction Writing: Handgun Edition
thanks, now I will never be able to stop noticing this when watching anything in English
asimovDev··on Kimi K2.7 Code is generally available in GitHub Copilot
when i will be extremely bored, I think I will make two models play chess against each other. I bet there's a chess benchmark / llm tournament already somewhere
asimovDev··on Physical disc production ending in Jan 2028 for new games on PlayStation
https://www.doesitplay.org

I guess this resource is relevant to the topic at hand. It lists games and whether you can play and complete them fully from disc without an internet connection
