The code formatting on lines 14-20 is a great example of how autoformatters can get it very wrong. That has to be the least readable way to write that code. https://github.com/PatrickJS/everyone-ssn-usa/blob/m

I developed a tool for managing EFI boot entries for my personal use. I've been meaning to get it ready to release publicly. It's mostly there, just a bit manual to install. https://efiboot.cbarrick.dev

Seems like .env is already an ideal DSL here. It's just a subset of shell. Easy to parse and index too.

In particular, the "summary" from the SumTree in this Zed article reminded me of the "metric" abstraction described in Raph's Rope Science.

Proton is what made me ditch Firefox. I don't want my screen real estate taken up by bigger and bigger toolbars, which was exactly one of the motivating reasons Firefox evolved its UI back in v4, circa 2011 [1]. I went to Vivaldi. It h

Honestly, I switched from Pixel to Zenfone for the form factor. Ever since the visor redesign with the Pixel 6, the Pixel series has been too big for my hands. I do miss the great Pixel software though...

The performance comparison would be interesting to me. I'm curious to know how close we can get to these frameworks by directly using Vulkan for GPGPU. Especially as an indicator of the feasibility of rewriting core components like cuF

ArriveCAN was used for sorting out your COVID vaccine requirements before traveling to Canada. Folks had to provide proof of vaccination, travel plans (like where are you going and what's your quarantine plan), etc.

I would consider an if-chain to be a lookup table. A sufficiently smart compiler would treat it as one. I agree that the challenge isn't rigorously defined. But the spirit is to not allow this kind of trick.

OP here! People are rightfully pointing out that this can be compressed further. My challenge to you: Implement a compressed representation along with the get_cell and set_cell methods, without resorting to lookup tables! Also, check out Al

P-HOLED is a very unfortunate name. They will surely come up with a better name before this goes to market. It's probably supposed to be pronounced PHO-LED, but some people are definitely going to read this as P-HOLED.

More concretely, an ML mode is only "open source" if both the training code and the training data are freely available. Otherwise, it's not possible for the community to reproduce the model.
