The Cutaway Illustrations of Fred Freeman

news.ycombinator.com Samuel Velasco 2025-11-20 02:41:57

During the two-year research for our book LOOK INSIDE we discovered many amazing illustrations and artists that, for one reason or another, did not make it into the final version of the book. It would be a pity to leave these forgotten on a drawer, so during the next few weeks we will present here some of these masters of the cutaway. A while ago we wrote here about Frank Soltesz, an American illustrator active from the 30’s to the 60’s, and author of a marvelous series of architectural cutaw

Turning an iPad Pro into the Ultimate Classic Macintosh (2021)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-22 21:09:36

I’ve started work on the next in my 1-bit Woodblocks series: “Tekagami” (Ito Shinsui’s “Hand Mirror”). So it’s a good time to talk about how I turned an iPad Pro into the ultimate Classic Macintosh. Emulators Both Macintosh emulators available on iOS we’re ported by @maczydeco who has done an amazing job making them feel truly at home on iOS. Many thanks! They need to be built from source using Xcode but it’s a pretty straight forward process. Mini vMac Supports System 1.1 to 7.5.5 Limited

‘Severance’ Season 3 Is Coming, but Ben Stiller Won’t Be Directing

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-11-22 21:15:15

When audiences return to Lumon Industries sometime in the near future, it will be without a major component. Ben Stiller, one of the producers and directors of the hit Apple TV+ show Severance, will not be directing any episodes in season three. “I’m at the point in my life where I’m like, ‘The clock is ticking,’” Stiller told the Los Angeles Times.

We Finally Know When Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ Will Hit Theaters and Netflix

It takes a very special Netflix movie to get a theatrical release before hitting the streamer, and Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is certainly that. Netflix just announced it’ll release the monster movie in select theaters on October 17 before debuting on the platform November 7. Now, there’s no word yet on just how “select” the “select theaters” will be. Is it two screens? Is it 2,000?

Bitcoin sinks to $115,000 after hitting its newest record, as macro concerns spark liquidation wave

A worsening macroeconomic climate and the collapse of industry giants such as FTX and Terra have weighed on bitcoin's price this year. The crypto market tumbled to begin the week as heightened macro concerns triggered more than $500 million in forced selling of long positions.
