It was two in the morning, the hour when even the bravest samurai retires to his bedroll, yet here, a fortress of light beckoned me from the darkness.

Every castle I have ever known has fallen. Fire, siege, taxes. Eight hundred years of my family learning one lesson: nothing stays open forever.

This house has never closed.

Not for storms. Not for holidays. Not for the hour when even the moon looks tired. I asked the waitress when they lock the doors.

"We don't have locks, hon."

No locks. I own walls, moats, and a sword older than this country, and I have never once said anything that powerful.

Inside, a cook was scraping the grill at 2 a.m. with the calm of a man guarding something. I asked if he was the night watch.

"I'm Darnell."

A trucker two stools down raised his coffee. "Place stayed open during the hurricane," he said. "FEMA's got a whole index about it."

An index. The government of this nation measures disasters by whether THIS HOUSE is still standing. In Japan, we measured a clan's strength by its castle. Same thing. Theirs serves waffles.

I ordered. I ate. I confess what happened next.

I did not want to leave. The night outside was large. The booth was warm. I am a grown warrior, and I sat in a yellow fortress at 3 a.m. feeling protected by hash browns.

A castle does not promise to stand forever. It simply leaves the lights on.

I drive past at night now. Just to check. The lights are always on.

Sentries of the griddle — I see you. Hold the line.

This was one of the dopest things I've ever made, and to this day I haven't seen another app use the custom tools API in PencilKit. I'm sure they are out there, it's such a cool way to use Apple Pencil.

I used Xcode 27 and Codex/Claude to vibe code a native macOS app that turns any SQLite database, including CoreData, SwiftData and SQLiteData stores, into a clean, interactive entity-relationship diagram you can rearrange and export.

Finally new article drop, pls give some support.

[Piyush Itankar @_streetdogg]

Some facts can be proven just using the software, some need a debugger, and some other by using a scope.

I received the ADP3450 yesterday. I've been since then, trying to understand the software that controls it. I am prepping to record a course on the Low Speed Communications protocol - UART, I2C and SPI. These are very commonly used in embedded systems development.

Yes, there are other protocols - CAN, I3C, Ethernet, USB etc. We'll deal with those later.

The upcoming course on Low Speed Communication Protocols will be added to the Library Access (https://t.co/cd7nNWgK5T).

Our goal with Library Access is to great a repository of topics that every embedded systems engineer would need to learn/refer.

Will keep you posted on the updates.

How are circuit boards made? After 8 years, this video continues to be a widely used reference for people all over the world, ranging from university classes to engineering teams inside of Apple. We even gave a prison warden permission to use it in an offline library of videos for inmates to learn new skills!

[XogotApp @xogotapp]

We’re bringing Xogot, our styled version of Godot, to macOS.

Xogot for Mac brings a native Mac experience, Xcode-inspired project navigation, and easier deployment to Mac, iPhone, iPad, and the iOS Simulator without the usual friction.

The beta is open today:
