   I hear what you're saying - though I've had good luck (i.e. haven't had to give it a thought in two years) with Syncthing pumping my vaults (and all business files for that matter) to phone, laptop, and backup nas.

   I've brushed up against it in the form of datalog as the query language for databases like datomic and xtdb, so it's soul is alive and well! I'm also considering a prolog like domain specific language to make a state syncing

   I'm kind of with you here. Lispy languages have structural editing tools that make it a lot like working directly on an AST. It's a delight when you get used to it. The spacing/linebreaks are all just auto formatted and mostl

   Last Blade 2 is also a standout. Samurai Showdown 3 and 4 are nicely animated too.

   I used to use a variant of this poison wine problem as an interview question. It was actually pretty good - the ones that could perceive problems abstractly usually got it without too much prompting. And the process of approaching a solutio

   Databricks -does- work that way, iirc.

   I wonder when we'll have light field capturing and emitting surfaces that would make it look like a real hole between places...

   I'm independent, but I try out Gemini every time I need some dumb powershell plumbing to tie things together. It's a net time saver, but Gemini still trips up on all of the wacky foibles of powershell, so it needs thorough code re

    I work a lot in powershell, and I want to like it. It is built around good ideas.. but oof, every time I have to special case on a return value being either a list or a single item depending on the result-len==1 or not, I die a little insi

    I've found av1 and h265 handle some things better than h264 at almost any bitrate. Usually around film grain compression.

    I use the duckdb connector as an intermediary for parquet in Dbeaver - it works quite well. I just create views like: Create or replace view parqtable as select * from /pathtoparquet/*.parquet;

    The little 8 bit atmel attiny85 has a great fastpwm feature. It can get almost 20khz output,with 8 bit duty cycle control. This is plenty to make a multichannel chip tune soft synth. Sounds good just hooking the pwm pin directly to an earbu

    I'm looking forward to a growing culture of mask wearing in public spaces. It worked in Venice, and what a fine method of self expression!

    I was similarly astonished at this adaptation of stable diffusion to make HDR spherical environment maps from existing images- https://diffusionlight.github.io/ The crazy thing is that they do it by prompting the model to i

    It's not common, but fixed/value based bids aren't impossible to pull off. That's the one way to really decouple pay from hours.

    I think that -people- care for customer well-being.. but that it's barely cynical to say that a board of a publicly traded company only cares about it insofar as it effects shareholder returns.. and with proper market positioning, cust

    I do a fair bit of desktop Linux gaming with both Steam and Epic (via the heroic launcher) and really, it mostly just works. I've played death stranding, GTA v, doom eternal, and tons of indies end to end without fuss. I have a dual bo

    On a few occasions I've found a couple of quarters on the brick window sill next to the carts at my local Aldi. I was pleased by the take-a-quarter-leave-a-quarter honor system.

    I'd love to have a dac built in, but it strikes me as being a bit like the old tv-vcr combos. If the built in vcr stinks or doesn't quite meet expectations you're either stuck with its subpar performance, or with the sunk co

    It's not very far off to digital audio over PC speaker I'm sure! The AtTiny85 had a great setup for it though, a high speed PWM clock which gives you a 250khz carrier, so just use another hardware timer interrupt every 20khz or so

    I had really good success abusing the PWM pins on AVR microcontrollers into acting as 8-bit DACs. Hooking up earbud headphones or a tiny powered speaker was all that was needed for decent (for 8 bit) fidelity. No low pass necessary since th

    I did some semi-serious work in Linux on the free version earlier this year. Performance was pretty good, and I believe that it did use the GPU. The only big annoyance for me was the lack of a h265 codec. I had some FFMPEG shell scripts for

    Definitely! I was listening to some Omnichord demo videos and then I recognized it in one of my favorite My Morning Jacket tracks. Very distinct intro, and I'm pretty sure he's rocking the Rock1 Preset here too: https:/&#x2F

    It is peak hacker news that nobody, Nobody, here can suppress their techno optimism for long enough to acknowledge that this technology is in the direct lineage of the humanitarian disaster brought about by the Eschatron 9000. I'm out.

    I've been happily using the laughably cheap Direct-TV Deca adapters for years now to get 100Mbps ethernet to my detached garage (where of course the previous owners needed coax TV :P), for my smart garage door, wyze cam, and streaming

    I'm similarly mystified. I have first hand experience with that volume of traffic.. Per day. Per host. In 2009. On python. How is everyone making everything so slow?
