Jony Ive design philosophy of "thin and with round corners" can be seen in the Ferrari Luce. The car looks like an iPhone.

Is the V in Cider-V the Roman numeral 5 or V like in Visual?

Apple needs Intel to make the chips!

Not when they have TSMC they don't.

"... we have an odor on the plane as well here at this time. We are going to be going back to the gate, request fire as well." - United pilot

"2384, it is oder like a smoke odor ...like from fire?" - Control

"No, it was a weird odor. I don't know exactly how to describe it. But yeah... we can't get a hold of anyone at the ops for a gate assignment." - United pilot

"Ground, United 2384 is declaring an emergency. The flight attendants in the back are feeling ill because of the odor. We will need to go into an available gate at this time." - United pilot

"... the fire trucks are over there. They're going to bring a stair truck just in case you guys do want to evacuate. Let me know if you do." - Control

"Copy, yeah, we prefer to wait on a gate, but I mean, again, we only got so much time here because there's still a bit of odor in the back of the airplane." - United pilot

Feel bad for the ATC officer. I hope they can find it in them to forgive themselves.

While other Linux distros were already reported to work, some tools provide by Nvidia won't work with Fedora or NixOS. Not yet!

I couldn't get Nvidia AI Workbench to start on Neon KDE after changing to DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu in /etc/lsb-release. Neon is based on Ubuntu Noble too.

Joran from TigerBeetle here!

TigerBeetle actually already donated around ~$100K this past year. We just didn't announce it.

With revenue increasing, we wanted to increase our donation to the foundation to $128K per year going forward, and Synadia were keen to match. The only reason we announced it this time is to encourage other companies to join us.

Finally, as I wrote in TB's post [1], both companies have already donated the first installment, and Derek and I have also both been donating as individual donors in our personal capacity since around 2018.

Hope that clears it up for you! :)

Please join us and consider donating (or increasing your donation): https://ziglang.org/zsf/

Very well done, sir! Now you challenged me to make a donation also. However, as an individual I assure you that it won't match yours.

Thank you, my friend! Let me know when it's done (only so that we can celebrate it together—good faith for the win!).

Just donated $100 to ZSF via ever.org!

High five!

Before WSL, Microsoft provided "Windows Services for UNIX" to "Seamlessly integrate Microsoft Windows into your UNIX environment."

The same Windows services are provided to "Seamlessly integrate Microsoft Widows into your Linux environment."

WSU became WSL!

United Airlines Flight 173 ran out of fuel while circling Portland International Airport trying to troubleshoot a landing gear. Six more minutes of fuel could have helped the airliner to land in the Columbia river by the airport or belly land on the runway. The captain chose to keep troubleshooting and crashed just 6 miles away from the airport.
