I let LLMs write an Elixir NIF in C; it mostly worked

news.ycombinator.com Isaak Tsalicoglou 2025-11-14 05:02:25

This post documents how I built a cross-platform Elixir NIF in C to get on-demand up-to-date disk-usage stats without relying on os_mon and its disksup service. I had Grok 3 generate the initial C code and Makefile, then iterated through multiple code reviews by Gemini 2.5 Flash and GPT-5 to make it work on Linux, macOS, Windows, and the BSDs (except DragonFlyBSD). Along the way, I ran into typical LLM hiccups that speak volumes about the breathless hyperbole often peddled by LLM vendors, comput

Teardown confirms Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a repair nightmare, but maybe that’s the point

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-05 05:28:53

TL;DR iFixit gives the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 a pitiful repair score in its latest teardown. Fragile inner components, glued batteries, and a hard-to-replace screen make DIY fixes tough. It could be that the same design choices may help the phone survive extreme durability tests. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 impressed last week in JerryRigEverything’s notorious bend test, which is just as well. According to iFixit, if anything does go wrong, actually repairing the device is a different kind o

PixiEditor 2.0 – A FOSS universal 2D graphics editor

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-07 04:21:31

What is PixiEditor? Up until today, PixiEditor was known as a pixel-art editor. Version 2.0 is much more than that. It’s a Universal 2D Editor - a brand new category. It’s not yet another Photoshop alternative. We take the word “Universal” much more seriously. We built an extremely configurable raster/vector render pipeline, which you can adjust for any workflow you can think of. Our goal is to build a free and open source editor that can handle all of 2D graphics Raster Vector, Animations

The Switch 2 Pro Controller does not seem easy to repair at all

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-20 20:09:05

The Switch 2 is in many ways a more premium and powerful version of the original Switch, but its sleek design seems to have come at a cost. Not only is the console itself difficult to repair, but a new iFixit teardown video shows that the Switch 2 Pro Controller isn't any easier. Based on iFixit's teardown, you have to completely disassemble the Switch 2 Pro Controller to access the parts you'll likely need to fix first. Accessing the joysticks and battery requires removing an adhesive-secured

Fairphone 6 gets a 10/10 on repairability

theverge.com Dominic Preston 2026-02-05 02:30:46

The new Fairphone 6 is smaller and more modular than older models in the series, but it’s just as repairable. The phone picked up a perfect score in iFixit’s teardown test, despite no longer offering tool-free battery replacements. It helps that the only tool you do need — throughout the phone — is a T5 Torx screwdriver, and only seven screws sit between you and a battery swap. Fairphone itself has shown you can get from shutdown to reboot with a new cell in just two minutes, so it’s still a si
