onderwegon Hello world in C inline assembly (2018)

Is anyone aware of a similar example, for ARM assembly on macOS?

onderwegon Ask HN: Is Alphabet Failing in AI?

It is way too early to say whether or not Google is failing in AI. The only thing that is certain is that lately things are not going smoothly for Google in AI.

onderwegon Show HN: Swift Mail, a native macOS app for JMAP mail

Looks interesting, but... yet another subscription. I'm willing to pay for good apps, but I'm not willing to keep stacking subscriptions.

onderwegon X is piloting a program where humans pay $1 to prove they're "Not A Bot"

With the advent of AI it's becoming more and more expensive to be human. By 2030 humans will pay everywhere to prove they are not bots.

onderwegon But what if you're wrong?

It's not as black and white as right or wrong. There is a lot more nuance to the choices made during the pandemic than the author leads us to believe.

onderwegon But what if you're wrong?

onderwegon Ask HN: What was the best software that you used during 2022?

As a macOS user:

- iTerm2 terminal (https://iterm2.com/)

- Visual Studio Code

- Typora for Markdown notes (https://typora.io/)

- MacPass for password management

CLI:

- Everything developed with bubbletea :)(https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea)

- Homebrew

- jq

(this is the best software I used during 2022, but obviously this is not "new" software: software that also had a first release in 2022).

Indeed. I really wonder how the author plans to use UUIds and QR codes.
