A Review of Nim 2: The Good and Bad with Example Code

I've been using Nim for about 1-2 years now, and I believe the language is undervalued. It's not perfect, of course, but it's pleasant to write and read. My personal website uses Nim. After reading a recent article on Nim ("Why Nim") and the associated HN comments, it's clear that comments and some information about Nim are misleading and outdated. Since Nim 2, a tracing Garbage Collector is not the default nor the recommended memory management option. Instead, the default memory management mod

Murder at Burning Man turns Silicon Valley’s desert playground into a crime scene

A homicide investigation has rocked the final days of Burning Man after a man was found dead “lying in a pool of blood” Saturday night at the Nevada desert festival, according to the Pershing County Sheriff’s Office. According to the New York Times, the grim discovery occurred around 9:14 p.m. just as the festival’s iconic wooden “Man” effigy began its traditional burn. The victim, described as a white adult male whose identity remains unknown, was found by a festival participant who flagged do

Woman Goes to Get Brazilian Wax, Alarmed to Notice Waxer Is Wearing Meta’s Video Recording Glasses

Advocates have long contended that so-called "smart glasses," which when activated record whatever the wearer sees, pose serious privacy risks. There was a sharp outcry when Google debuted Project Glass more than a decade ago, and now with Meta's Ray-Ban AI glasses, a new generation is finding out the hard way just how creepy these surveillance wearables can be. In a recent viral TikTok video, influencer Aniessa Navarro said that she was in the middle of a Brazilian wax — which involves remova

Hardening Firefox – a checklist for improved browser privacy

This checklist will walk you (and me) through the settings and extensions I use to improve my privacy when using Firefox. If you’re looking for a web browser that offers a high degree of privacy out of the box with minimal setup, Brave is a common choice. However, I prefer Firefox for several reasons: Firefox is developed by the nonprofit organization Mozilla. I value Mozilla’s commitment to open source software. Firefox is not based on Chromium. Brave, like most browsers, is based on Chromi

I hate installing apps to save money, but this Pixel privacy feature makes it worthwhile

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority Prices at fast food chains, restaurants, and even grocery stores have spiraled out of control over the past couple of years. Luckily, not all hope is lost — if you’re a savvy shopper, you might know that the best way to save real money is to check for loyalty program discounts and limited-time offers. The only problem? Most of these offers require you to download each company’s app and check into them from time to time. If installing a dozen different apps s

Nokia’s legendary font makes for a great user interface font

If you’re of a certain age (and not American), there’s a specific corporate font you’re most likely aware of. You may not know its exact name, and you may not actively remember it, but once you see it, you know exactly what you’re looking at. The font’s called Nokia Sans (and Nokia Serif), and it was used by pretty much every single Nokia device between roughly 2002 and 2013 or so, when it was replaced by a very bland font made by Bruno Maag (with help from the person who designed Comic Sans) th

AI Is Golden or ‘Not Rational’: Wall Street’s Battle With Which Road to Take

As investments in artificial intelligence continue to soar, some analysts are raising alarms about a looming bubble that could burst and trigger broader market declines. Others, however, say they’ve never been so sure that it is a growing opportunity. So who is right? Well, on Wall Street, there’s a pick-your-flavor opinion for whatever it is you want to back, so we can’t determine that. But we can show you what each side is thinking. Firstly, that the sector is overvalued. Analysts and invest

My Secret Weapon for All-Season Campervan Adventures Is This Portable AC

CNET's key takeaways The Wave 3 lists for $1,300, but often drops to $900. The optional battery pack adds between $550 and $900, depending on sales and deals. The Wave 3 offers enough cooling and heating for small spaces and does so reasonably quietly (it's still an air conditioner after all). While portable, the Wave 3 with the battery is fairly heavy at 55.1 pounds. A few years ago, I built a campervan out of a Ford Transit Connect. My goal when designing it was "tent replacement," not "ye
