Thanks! That expansion should really be at the very beginning of the GitHub README, and as early as possible on the runpanther.io page. Don't drive away potential customers who don't know your magic phrase.

Really recommend the book, "Why Buddhism is true" by Robert Wright. He discusses the "atheist" take on buddhism, and how it predates an awful lot of what we now understand through modern psychology. It's not really

Wound up running across (har) the FitOn[0] app/website, which is a fitness site with a lot of good videos. They're free to watch, paying for "premium" gets you better music and diet plans. Not affiliated with them, just

Interesting! I wonder if it matters for this case... the walls of the room aren't going to be exactly parallel (or may be a trapezoid, pentagon, or worse), the robot's wheels are going to slip somewhat on each turn so the angle t

I played around with it a bit in college; in my experience, the "help" wasn't very helpful, although it was suggesting keywords and not semi-colons (though I might not have left any out). I don't remember any specific e

At my last job, we were trying to hire an expert C++ programmer, and every interview our C++ wizard would ask, "How do you rate your C++ knowledge on a scale of 1..10?" and pretty much invariably get a "8 or 9!" kind of

Possibly stupid question, but why does the dog array validate: const dogsList = z.array(dogSchema); dogSchema.parse([ { name: 'Cujo', neutered: null }, { name: 'Fido', age: 4, neutered: true }, ]); /&

Wow, thanks, that's a fantastic article, particularly because it shows actual code that illustrates the idea , instead of being overly abstract.

Or just to check to see if they're looking in your direction, so they're at least likely to have seen you. Amazing how often people watch a car to (say) their right, and once it clears, they go through the intersection without

I remember seeing someone write that they could tell whenever a new chapter of "Learn You a Haskell for Great Good"[0] came out, because questions on that topic would just disappear from the discussion lists! [0]: http:/&#

I agree, this is a great page. I failed to make it through the Rust book in (I think) 2017, and kind of hated it; I made it through easily in 2019 and enjoyed it... the book has improved that much. Oh, and the compiler error messages are b

Hi elitan -- since you asked, let me throw out my two cents. I'm comparing you to Heroku, sorry if that's not your ideal comparison. I think you need some different price points; the $4/month is great to get started, but the

I use Zapier to watch the Twitter feed of a conference I go to (NationJS). They announce stuff there first, and update their website much later. Oh, and it only happens twice a year, so I find out about it when it happens, without having

If you liked this article, you might enjoy the book "Are we smart enough to know how smart animals are?" by Frans de Waal [0]. He does a great job of describing all kinds of surprisingly intelligent animal behaviors, and some very

Fantastic! I'd love to visit. Similar to that museum (in obscurity and interest, if not in beauty) is the Mercer Museum in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Mercer collected tools & objects that were hand-made, before the industrial revol

I'm trying to like it, but I keep running into bugs... and I haven't been able to find a point of contact on their web page to describe them. But, yeah, when it works it's very nice indeed.

Note that you can either run Aurora Serverless constantly (at a cost of about $43 a month) or have ~30 second startup times if the instance has timed out (~15 minutes).

I read it for a philosophy class in college. I still remember the moment of genuine shock when, partly though the book, I closed it and noticed "Non-Fiction" written on the spine!

Similar desires (no back injury, thankfully!) and got into a "Les Mills"-brand "BodyFlow" class at my gym about eight months ago. Really glad I did! MUCH improved balance, much less overall pain, stronger in lots of way

Flexbox was a major game-changer for how I get layouts done. SO glad it exists! Can't wait until our customer transitions off of IE so I can learn Flexgrid (yes, IE has Flexgrid, but it's a different syntax and semantics, alas..

That is, perhaps, uglier than the J Edgar Hoover building[0] (headquarters of the FBI) in Washington, DC, and my previous gold standard for Brutalist hideosity. My condolences on having to go there. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org&

Interesting! I had done something similar, and was thinking of moving it into some kind of public use like this, but with a bit more structure. Discovered Joplin[0] which does pretty much everything I need, so I'm using that instead.

Do you do anything to increase the gluten? When I've tried whole-wheat bread, it just kind of falls apart when sliced. I've tried adding "Vital Wheat Gluten", but even a tablespoon to a loaf didn't seem to help.
