Apple always highlighted that engraved products cannot be returned during the purchase.

I thought about Fossil too, once I read the article. I don't even know what version I'm on and never even think about it.

I use this framework to build prototype applications and it's always a delight. Something about Lua just feels right. Once I'm satisfied with a demo or prototype, I later on port it to native C/C++ implementation.

That's not really a bad thing, IMHO. Many people successfully make a living creating niche products.

They just offered free batteries.

Nope. I don't think they even recognized the defect till many years later (probably for legal reasons?). For users, that were still under warranty - they offered free RTC batteries (which also stopped working later). Either way, I won&

I appreciate the response, but my suggestion would be to offer a mail-in service program so that users don't have to fiddle with potentially dangerous soldering (ideally Framework bearing the shipping costs or atleast subsidizing it).

The permanent fix involves soldering stuff on the mainboard, which I don't have any prior experience. The RTC substitute module you mention is just the ML220 coin battery that will also eventually stop working.

I purchased the first generation of FW13 laptops and got burned. The CMOS/RTC battery drains if not plugged in so the laptop never keeps proper time. I don't think I've ever used a gadget in the last few decades that needs se

I don't think it's UB if you init the struct before using it atomically from multiple threads.

I switched to Orion from Safari a few months ago and so far loving it. I tried Orion a couple of years ago but it wasn't as reliable. Now it seems very stable and the kagi search integration is really nice. On a side note - I don'

One can use `@(require_results)` to force the user to check for error. That paired with `or_return` or `or_else` in Odin mostly take away all foot guns.

by rwbt 11mo ago
I'll add another point i.e. Odin is effectively done from a language point of view unlike Zig or others. The project is currently working on improving the std library and toolchain but the language itself is finished according to it&#x

Odin supports multiple returns and the `make` proc returns an error value that can be optionally checked.

Great write up and I share very similar ideas. But I wish there was something a little more than a library where people with similar interests can actually socialize and build a sense of community.

I think it makes it obvious that the string 's' will be mutated.

How exactly?

by rwbt 1y ago
Can't comment on RTTI, but lack of conditional imports are indeed an annoyance but I'm willing to put up with it because of all the other niceties in the language.

Just curious, other than taking Vitamin D pills - what are some natural diets that are rich in Vitamin D?

AFAIK, Apple's CoreFoundation CFArray also works similarly[0]. NSMutableArray works little differently (using a circular buffer). From the always excellent Cichenowski[1]. [0] - https://github.com/opensource-apple/

Thanks for making this. Sometimes I want to just write a quick note and serve as a static html file and this is very useful for that purpose.

Maybe it makes more sense as a community project. Not sure how difficult it'd be to extract it from Webkit...

I wish Apple made a standalone Webgpu.framework spinning it off of WebKit so that apps can link to it directly instead of having to link to Dawn/wgpu.

If I recall correctly mrdoob used to be (or still is?) employed by Google. I'm sure this is his passion project. Even the Box2D library is written and maintained by one person as a passion project who happens to also have a successful

I recently used Odin in a commercial project and had a great experience. For me the biggest hurdle was not the language, but having to write programs without an IDE like Visual Studio/Xcode. Having to write my own build scripts (shell

I have to politely disagree. If you ever run a website for business/portfolio etc. the number of people more likely to contact you using a contact form is far greater than just telling them to email you. Contact forms also scale well i

Static sites are great until you need to have a contact form or want to add basic comments. Yes, you can deploy javascript that uses external services to add such functionality to static sites- but with a basic WordPress site, you get ever
