Comment Re:Needs an official Linux boot camp (Score 1) 70

I wrote a compiler for an ObjC-like language (with less brackets), which can produce binaries for any of {Mac, Windows, Linux, WASM, Arm A9 (Zynq), m68k or 6502} running on any of {Mac, Windows, Linux}. So you can produce a dev-signed Mac binary on a Linux box. I’m just going through extending that output range to mobile {Android, iOS} and I’ll release it as open source.

The compiler docs for the language (xc) are at https://compile-xc.org/ - feel free to browse.

I didn’t think getting the signing working for Mac/iOS was terribly hard.

"built to contain heat". sigh. I'm not going into a thermodynamics discussion. Seems like europeans can't grasp the concept that insulation works both ways.

Anyways, get an AC for the living room and use a fan to push the cool air into your bedroom at night. Yes, it's not ideal. But sleeping on 40C is worse.

And also something something "60 kg AC". yeah, you're doing it wrong. I just checked and my 7000W Daikin is less than 30kg for the heavy part (the outdoor unit).

As for the install, I got tired of idiots here doing terrible jobs. I just bought all of the tools and nowadays I install and service my own air conditioners and have zero regrets. And no, you don't need any license to do this: the refrigerant is inside the outdoor unit from the factory, so at least for the initial install (and for the next 10 years if you do it right) you will not need any refrigerant.

When I can get access to the same data from Flock as the police I will agree with you. But since there is no public access to it I would say it is solely for law enforcement use and thus requires a warrant to access.

Flock does not voluntarily give the police information, they sell it.

Do you do that in the winter too? 10C with a couple of sweaters is quite a pleasant temperature too...

This is my favorite response to these idiots. If you don't need air conditioning, then you don't need heating either. They talk about how amazing their houses are in the winter because they "retain heat" and whatever bullshit, but they actively heat it.

Turn the heating off, or shut the fuck up about AC.

I dont know man, I live in Argentina and my "tiny split unit", 3500W, is more than capable of keeping my bedroom cool.

Even my "large" 7000W unit for the shop was so big that ... i had to help a friend to help me lift it to the wall brackets. It's bolted to the brick wall with 4 10mm bolts.

Those "tiny split units" do just fine in Japan where they have even less space than you do.

Sounds to me you're just making excuses and, somehow, trying to blame "the americans"
