But, a few months later io.js merged back with node. So, “it worked,” but was a giant mess.

(defservlet hello-world text/plain (path) (shell-command (concat "php " (file-name-nondirectory path)) (current-buffer))) Or similar should do the trick. :)

So, I did some investigation and know what's broken, but I don't know why. The game uses `canvas.toDataURL()` to replace the favicon for each frame. It draws it, essentially like this jsfiddle https://jsfiddle.net/

Hmm. Same version for me. The only difference is my FF comes from a Snap. Perhaps that has something to do with it.

It displayed a random rainbow of vertical lines for each frame. Not sure why, and didn't attempt to debug.

Weirdly did not work in Firefox on Ubuntu. Switched to Chromium and got 1182 before deciding to quit. The framerate was pretty slow, which I think is the only reason I got > 1000. :)

Saws certainly can project a laser beam across the cutting surface, and don't get me started about AI powered CNC cuts. I mean, just the other day I found the words "WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME?" CNC'd onto a piece of plywoo

LLaMA is short for "Large Language Model Meta AI" -- I don't get how, but I guess the "fakeronym" was a brandable, recognizable word, and close enough that they went with it?

You sound like a prompt engineer.

I’m not knowledgeable about synths and such (I wish I had more time to learn music, though), but I always look at this stuff because the devices are aesthetically beautiful — pluto as well. It’s probably almost a shoo-in that if you focused

> Pi degrees would imply your outlook barely changed at all. And what if the OP knew nothing of maths before the course? A mistake it was, but I think you’re overindexing on (potentially) a brain fart.

I prefer that people get the joke (and to use languages where this isn’t a problem).

I prefer to name my labels L00001, L00002, and so on. One for each logical line of code. (Why yes, I am suggesting that there’s no difference between the two, and so “strictly better” is …)

The impression that I got was helmet laws make people feel like biking is default unsafe, which leads to less bikers, which leads to less visibility and less isolation of bikers (no demand, no tax dollars spent on infrastructure). If you wa

I don't think anyone is saying "don't wear a helmet." What's being stated is that you can't stop at "wear a helmet," and doing so does more harm than good by creating a false sense of safety. A helmet

Not only can you redefine classes and functions at runtime in CL, my understanding is that all references to them will automatically be updated to the new code (I think unless it’s compiled?). It was already mentioned that Python’s classes

Go does pretty good with time. You could replicate that for distance, too.

Good old Calendar Queues: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_queue These things are common in discrete event simulation, but, are useful anytime you have a time based queue.

Yes, you can do that. But that exasperates the system portability problem. The real solution is for some distro to, gasp , decide that POSIX compatibility can be done with utilities in /opt/posix (or something) and do widespread

by apgwoz 4y ago
The names of these utilities are bad. I have literally no idea what any of them do. The same could be said for standard unix utilities, true, but they have 50+ years (in some cases) of brain bake in, and have the advantage of names that hav

I guess, fundamentally, the question comes down to: “will we expect lightstream to be developed under the name Ben Johnson, or Fly.io.” This _might_ have implications for what the project becomes. My intention was not to be condescending, f
