And the throat incision clip
sourcegrift··on Jolla Phone (October 2026)
Google is so anti open it's the new Microsoft. I hope for a day when my phone runs nixos with Qt apps. Qt is so much better than java that I'm sure I'll be able to make do in 4gb what android takes 16gb for.

In the era of hallucinated apps, this doesn't even seen like an imaginary wishful scenario.

sourcegrift··on Framework's 10G Ethernet module exposes USB-C's complexity
I understand your disdain for fandom but in this case this isn't a product by framework. This is a 3d part product resulting from framework's basic motivation and associated actions of nurturing a 3rd party ecosystem. I don't like fandom but we can admit framework's theoretical raison d'etre is pretty good
sourcegrift··on OpenAI leans toward waiting until next year for IPO
It's over. Open models and chinese models will make fast progress and that nvidia+ms 128gb monster is what everyone will end up buying. sama can go back to running scams.

I'm worried about the carbon footprint and other impacts of the higher temperature
sourcegrift··on LuaJIT 3.0 proposed syntax extensions
Are there any rough estimates on popularity of lua implementations? At this point it feels lua means luajit
sourcegrift··on LuaJIT 3.0 proposed syntax extensions
What are some pragmatic embedded scripting languages of choice these days if one has to consider:

1) Ease of learning, ideally minimal deviant behaviour (eg i consider lua tables to be a new concept in itself)

2) Reasonably fast. Not as much as lua jit but even half would be good enough

3) Mature

4) Has Rust bindings

sourcegrift··on Venezuela reveals $240B in debt it cannot pay (~$100B more than expected)
Like him or hate him, Venezuela has been quite literally a fabulous win.
sourcegrift··on Grok Build 0.1: Intelligence, Performance and Price Analysis
As much as I hate to say this, I'm afraid that Musk is abusing his capital power and Grok Build will end up as the top model eventually.

I tried it on a couple of projects and was (pleasantly?) surprised how good it was. I have no doubt in my mind that spacex needs to be broken up before they grow too big because grok build is going to be the future coding model of choice

sourcegrift··on Ask HN: Anthropic banned me from using Claude Code and I don't know what to do
Use grok build. They've got some pretty cool things going
sourcegrift··on Steam Machine launches today
Please buy pinephone instead.
sourcegrift··on Canadian government spent $46.8M on a secret Palantir contract
All the loudest anti trump leaders are his friends. Couple days ago there was an nyt report that macron and trump talk on personal numbers extending the last syllable of first name. Emmanuelllll Donalllllld

It's only us general public that suffers while we console ourselves that maybe they are cheating him just go sleep peacefully

sourcegrift··on Linux eliminates the strncpy API after six years of work, 360 patches
What's bas about them and what are the alternatives, genuinely curious since never seen them spoken of

Rust has "pascal style strings" (quotes because the concept is slightly different) so it's not a done deal
sourcegrift··on Fossil Fuels Are 40% of Freight Shipping Tonnage, but Half Its Fuel Use
The preposition ("butt") is wrong
sourcegrift··on The Commodore Callback 8020 smart flip phone
Wonder why pine can't do this? Not dissing on commodore. With hallucinated apps, the gap is going to be really small with play store
sourcegrift··on Show HN: TownSquare, a tiny presence layer for websites
You clearly haven't visited any Buddhist forums, or generally non-islamic religious forums
sourcegrift··on Show HN: TownSquare, a tiny presence layer for websites
If your website attracts such elements perhaps there's a reason?
sourcegrift··on Show HN: TownSquare, a tiny presence layer for websites
First saw this on lobste.rs . Great idea, perhaps allow for a little customisation? I'd like minimal animation, just a counter of present people and a green dot that vibrates when someone is typing. Clicking either opens a chat box with last 20 minutes.
sourcegrift··on UHF X11: X11 Built for VisionOS and Apple Vision Pro
On that note, anybody has rayneo air4 pro working with x11?
sourcegrift··on Ubisoft co-founder Claude Guillemot has died in a plane crash

Aren't these names trademarked? I can imagine lockheed selling the rights for a side income lol
sourcegrift··on French physicist and media star loses doctorate after plagiarism investigation
I only came here for the pasta and as of 122 comments nobody has posted it. Sadly one of the brothers is no more
sourcegrift··on TinyWind: A pixel pirate sailing game with real wind physics (380k+ kms sailed)
There's a reason these fonts have been outlawed by the ghost of Jeff Raskin. They are harder to read.
sourcegrift··on Why stdx is not on crates.io
More like which stdx?

I appreciate prople's efforts but they are misplaced. If I were passionate about this-- i'd do two things

1) A crates.io alternative which allows namespaces in package names like GitHub or alternatively. Single universal namespace doesn't seem fine (I don't think there would be necessarily changes required on the cargo side if users are willing to use full urls)

2) some kind of trust system so a user can up/down vote a package

3) Take a small one time payment for verifying a package? I don't know how this would work.

Ed Zitron has proven trump wrong so many times it's going to be hilarious how right it will come out on this

sourcegrift··on The state of building user interfaces in Rust
Qt has been going strong for 2+ decades and you can bet will do so for at least that many more. Flutter is by Google and it exists when I started writing this comment but we can't say for sure it will when I'm done writing it
sourcegrift··on Israeli firm BlackCore suspected of meddling in New York and Scotland votes
Lol. Just use reddit. No need for creating new platforms
sourcegrift··on The state of building user interfaces in Rust
qmetaobject-rs gives you the best of both worlds: logic in rust, UI in arguably world's best cross platform framework Qt.
