You should definitely check out the pinetime. I’m about to pick one up myself. For ~30 bucks why not.

Default OS is a community project. I followed development for a few years. It’s pretty solid last I checked with good battery life and support for user apps written in rust


Second that. Have had one for 2 years and it's brilliant. Haven't yet tried to build any app for it. But it runs a month for me on single charge. I use it for travel or when out for day trips with family.

Just a note to any US hackers on here considering the PineTime, you'll need to pay $25 shipping thanks to our glorious leaders.

Does it have WiFi?

From the webpage https://pine64.org/devices/pinetime/

Does not look like it. Appears to be Bluetooth 5 and Bluetooth LE only.


My girlfriend also has this and I just found out my coworker has been dealing with it for some time. Has me wondering just how common it is


Prolactinomas, especially tiny ones, are super common. They often find them during autopsies. Most people with them experience no symptoms.


Are these deadly?


Not intrinsically or commonly deadly. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseas... says "1 in 10 people will develop a pituitary adenoma in their lifetime" - pituitary adenomas is the more general class of these benign tumors, as the pituitary gland produces multiple hormones.


1 in 10 sounds really common though, that's shocking.


People will go to the ends of the earth and back for someone they truly love. (Some people will even do it for hate, too!)


The nested divs in modern markup are just signs of lazy bone headed devs. I’m constantly removing them from our own app because with either grid or flex box layout in the browser is stupid easy. Haven’t even been tempted to use the old tricks like floats or absolute positioning in years and years.


Yeah lululemon is your problem there I’m guessing. I just did the reverse. For the last decade most of the clothes I wore came from target and they were ok. I felt like the fits worked for me so I mostly stuck with them.

That said I found some nice small brands and they blow target clothes and all those mall brands out of the water. The mall stuff is often exactly the same as target.

Relwen is my favorite brand right now.


My wife has a sense of fashion and I do not. When we go out she's always dressed precisely and, left without guidance, I look like a hike might break out at any minute.

Relwen's excellent. Sturdy clothes with utility -- my concern -- good looking for a variety of semi-casual to formal occasions. I wear their hunting jacket as a general purpose blazer.


I’m sure it will. My pessimistic take is that the worst case is that thousands of bozos create crappy little apps that only cause minimal harm. And people just endure it instead of pushing for better guard rails.

Best case is some high profile shit show caused by software made mostly or entirely by ai that hopefully is bad enough that legislators wake up and realize that in the modern world software is essential enough that you can’t let just anyone sell it or services based on it. Just like you can’t allow anybody design/build bridges or hardware or whatever.

But I’m sure thats wishful thinking. Hacks and buggy software causing consumers harm is just accepted and software industry folk all hope to be billionaires so nobody cares.


Eh. I tried to buy into this for years but I think my poor working memory just pushes me towards having something like it open.

Maybe a little less now that I’ve become a heavy user of tabs. When I start working on a unique task I create a new tab with a few splits with the files I’m interested in. In a way tab views are how I externalize my working memory. But a file tree is still useful to me because file names don’t stick so using a command or picker to swap is often slower


Seems obvious that if said social life is mostly with people who mostly just do drugs then no change will happen.


Same here in Utah. We had crazies screaming about mark of the beast when digital ID first came up. They finally started it and it’s only through some garbage app. Probably someone connected or whatever.


I grew up in another state with a large population of religiously conservative residents. When Amazon emailed me an ad for their new Amazon One service[0] that lets you literally buy things with a palm scan, I was able to correctly name the people I knew who'd lose their freaking mind about it. I'm convinced that they didn't include one single evangelical in their focus group, or that they ignored the feedback.

YouTube instagram and Dropbox definitely don’t scale thanks to python. They scale thanks to the massive infrastructure they built around some python code. Cdn caches etc. we all know this. And they could probably save money by migrating to a more performant and safe language. But they have money firehoses and household brand recognition so they don’t care.


> YouTube instagram and Dropbox definitely don’t scale thanks to python

But python doesn't prevent them from scaling either ;)


> Cdn caches etc. we all know this.

No matter what language you use, you use CDNs and caches.


They could partly run Python, in which case it would be a better example of FastHTML scaling in this way. Some CDNs have Python edge functons: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/languages/python/ https://aws.amazon.com/developer/application-security-perfor...

With Vercel and Netlify it's just TypeScript/JavaScript: https://vercel.com/docs/functions/edge-middleware https://docs.netlify.com/edge-functions/overview/


Because an important feature and focus is that nim compiles to c and makes it easy to just import and use c libraries. So many of the 3rd party libs mentioned are NOT technically part of its ecosystem. There is at least one thread on the nim forum that extensively explains the reasoning behind the decision in much better detail and pretty thoroughly debunks this “problem”
