In tests, it achieved high lattice-dynamics stability in nearly 70 percent of computational material generations and supported targeting properties such as high thermal conductivity and high dielectric constant. ### Source excerpt The "CrysVCD" tool developed at MIT could cut the huge amounts of time and money spent on screening out chemically unstable designs. ## Quick update: May 2026 DevFeed: [Quick update: May 2026]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: LoRa Left-handed operational Radio authority; Obviously Published: 2026-05-18T00:00:00Z Content type: news Language: en Sources: [Community blog on PINE64]() Topics: [Home Assistant](), [lora](), [Matter](), [Pinephone](), [zigbee](), [Kernel](), [Pinephone-Pro](), [USB](), [Crystal](), [Dongle]() Tags: [2026](), [community](), [crystal](), [dongle](), [eol](), [home-assistant](), [kernel](), [lcd](), [pinedio](), [pinephone](), [pinephone-pro](), [pinetime](), [pinevoice](), [protocol](), [table](), [update](), [usb](), [zigbee]() ### AI overview Pine64's May 2026 update covers the PineVoice Home Assistant speaker, PineTime and PineTime Pro hardware, PineDio USB LoRa development, and recent PineTab2, PinePhone, PinePhone Pro, and PineTab-V software updates. It also reports instability in the PineDio adapter caused by an overheating crystal oscillator. ### Source excerpt Table of contents Whats been going on recently? PineVoice PineTime/PineTime Pro LoRa? (Left-handed operational Radio authority, obviously) Important recent community updates: Do you have something to share? Contact Community PineStore Whats been going on recently? Hello everyone, we wanted to do a quick update on what's been happening recently. Life has been pretty busy but there's lots of nice things happening in the background that we'd like to share. PineVoice The PineVoice Home Assistant speaker (formally PineVox) is in its final stages. Production begins. Further on this, there will be limited bundle with this device which will include a PineVoice, Zigbee dongle, power supply and two matter modules. Pair it with a SBC of choice and run your Home Assistant instance locally! PineTime/PineTime Pro The current PineTime LCD is EOL and a new one is replacing it, though it is essentially the same display. These will be shipping in the next PineTime batch. New PineTime Pro samples have been received by developers. Shiny! LoRa? (Left-handed operational Radio authority, obviously) The PineDio USB LoRa Adapter is at the focus of a new effort to begin progress on potential new LoRa devices. MeshCore is the current protocol target for the USB LoRa Adapter along with help from the pyMC_core library project. The current problem with the device is that the crystal oscillator is heating up too much and can cause clock frequency drifting instability. In a nutshell that means your messages come out garbled. This may eventually be fixed with a TXCO (Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator) to maintain a stable clock frequency. Important recent community updates: DanctNIX PineTab2 updates (including factory image) Adam Piggz: PinePhone, PinePhone Pro, PineTab2 all updated to kernel 7.0, and improved USB config.

It describes how languages such as Rust, Swift, Clang-based C, and Crystal can be translated into LLVM IR before LLVM converts it into target-specific machine language. ### Source excerpt Esperanto grammar is logical and self consistent, designed to be easy to learn. ## Visiting an Abstract Syntax Tree DevFeed: [Visiting an Abstract Syntax Tree]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Pat Shaughnessy Published: 2022-01-22T00:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Pat Shaughnessy]() Topics: [Crystal](), [Parser](), [Compiler](), [Data structures](), [Algorithms](), [Programming](), [Computer science]() Tags: [algorithms](), [code](), [compiler](), [crystal](), [data-structure](), [syntax]() ### AI overview This tutorial examines how Crystal uses abstract syntax tree visitors during semantic analysis. It explains the visitor pattern as a way to apply multiple algorithms to the same tree data structure and describes how Crystal's compiler uses visitors to inspect syntax, record type and object information, and potentially transform code. ### Source excerpt Joshua Tree National Park (via: Wikimedia Commons) In my ## An introduction to syntax.cr DevFeed: [An introduction to syntax.cr]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Omar Roth (blog@omar.yt) Published: 2018-07-10T04:04:15Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Omar Roth]() Topics: [Syntax Highlighting](), [Crystal](), [Tooling]() Tags: [crystal](), [ecosystem](), [format](), [highlighting](), [provides](), [syntax](), [syntax-highlighting](), [tool](), [with]() ### AI overview An introduction to syntax.cr, which enables Crystal developers to work with the .tmLanguage ecosystem used for syntax highlighting in popular editors. ### Source excerpt The .tmLanguage format is currently the most popular tool for adding syntax highlighting to popular editors. syntax.cr provides a way to work with that ecosystem from Crystal. ## Kyber Crystal and the Death Star DevFeed: [Kyber Crystal and the Death Star]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Adam Published: 2017-01-06T00:00:00Z Content type: opinion Language: en Sources: [Shostack & Friends Blog]() Topics: [Crystal](), [systems]() Tags: [crystal](), [systems]() ### AI overview An opinion piece examines the Death Star's use of rare Kyber crystals, questioning its ammunition supply, firing capacity, and the meaning of the command "single reactor ignition." ### Source excerpt [no description provided]
