Spacing Over Cards

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-24 22:49:11

This post is a rationalisation of “I don’t like cards”. I say that in most cases where cards are used, they don’t need to be used. Specifically, they take space, they let you skip gestalt principles and be lazy and undisciplined, and being so easy to implement they are often used by developers. To multiply the effect, you can put a card into a card, and it seems so hard not to do so. We recognise patterns. This is known for quite some time, specifically Wertheimer in 1923 wrote the paper that e

Installing UEFI Firmware on ARM SBCs

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-25 04:37:08

I am a huge fan of my Rock 5 ITX+. It wraps an ATX power connector, a 4-pin Molex, PoE support, 32 GB of eMMC, front-panel USB 2.0, and two Gen 3×2 M.2 slots around a Rockchip 3588 SoC that can slot into any Mini-ITX case. Thing is, I never put it in a case because the microSD slot lives on the side of the board, and pulling the case out and removing the side panel to install a new OS got old with a quickness.

Joe Maring / Android Authority Among all of the software goodies introduced on the Pixel 10 series, one of my personal favorites is the new “Screen Saver” feature. When your Pixel 10 is charging, Screen Saver can display the current time, weather, and other information as an ambient, pseudo-smart display screen. It’s basically Google’s version of Standby Mode that was added to the iPhone in 2023. However, Screen Saver works a bit differently and with some additional customization options, as y

"This telegram must be closely paraphrased before being communicated" Why?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-25 02:39:47

It appears that it was US military communications doctrine to not send the exact same message twice using different encryption ("none" counting as one type of encryption), and the term of art for changing a message to avoid that was indeed "paraphrase". I managed to dig up a US Army document on Cryptology from roughly that era that appears to discuss paraphrasing.
