The crazy thing is that the Pages router looked to me to essentially be a React flavored version of the venerable Perl HTML::Mason library. It offered embedded code that is used to generate static HTML server side. It had application routi

I was using Wezterm because of the cross platform and the lua config (let's me reuse my mad lua skilz from keeping my nvim config). The thing that made me switch to Ghostty was the image support in wez didn't play well with tmux.

FTA: “We thought nothing of it, as common surveillance, that’s great,” Elser said of the cameras. “You’re watching for crime — not to wrongly accuse somebody.” So, what did she learn? Imagine if she hadn't been able to afford a Rivian

I want a clamshell that has one OLED/LCD screen and one e-ink screen. Both should be multi-touch. The hinge should pivot (like an omnibook) so that either screen can be visible when close. Besides the obvious benefit of having a single

I have no idea, but a quick search didn't find anyone selling it. Maybe it's available under a different trade name.

I wish I was optimistic that data and compliant robots will be used to make things better for customers. I think it's far more likely that they will, at best, be used to do whatever horrible and unpleasant things that temporarily juice

I worked at a company that handled transcription of customer service calls for those chips. Even though I started there well after they were discontinued, stories about the things people said were passed on by the old hands. A few choice

I'd expect that right now it's life changing in a positive way for many recipients. - The people getting it are in very rough shape and even a tiny bit of improved ability to control their environment is a tremendous gift to them

That trailer is brilliant for what it is. I would love to see a proper version of Snow Crash get theatrical release or maybe even the high-concept-tv-series-with-ten-episodes treatment the big streamers are cooking up these days.

If you wanted to take this a little further, you could cover the "display" with heat erasable ink like is used in a Pilot Frixion pens. This ink is interesting in that it fades when heated (60 C), but darkens when cooled (-10 C).

Perl was the perfect language when the majority of people wanting to use it already knew shell, sed, awk, and C. It succeeded because it was a beautiful and horrible combination of those tools/languages. If you know those things, Perl

This thread is a great example of minding your peas and queues. Or maybe cues. It's hard to say which.

Not a rust developer, but this seems like an opportunity for Egui to have switchable layout engines. If you want a simple, one pass layout that super fast, you use the fast-and-dumb-on-purpose-engine. If you want a fancy dynamic scaling lay

This little piece reminds me of a conversation I had about the power of modern mobile phones. Given a modern flagship phone, what year was that phone equivalent to total world computational power? For example, based on TFA, a Pi5 represents

Pride and the opportunity to get your ego stroked makes people do dumb stuff all the time. On the other hand, Yarvin may also be making the decision that any publicity will drive readers to him and net him more followers overall and that th

Probably. It would have made it a lot harder to sell to voters.

This is absolutely not surprising. Anyone who spends time in online support groups for folks with gluten sensitivities could tell you that there is a good percentage of people who think they can't handle gluten but couldn't tell y

I get really exacerbated when people make this mistake.

Funny, I see the need to add comments as an indicator that it's time to introduce chunking of some sort--arguably it already has been. In this case, I'd lean towards intermediate variables, but sometimes I'll use functions or

These heroic officers will have to deal with malefactors that want to rock and roll all night and party every day. This is why they will need an unlimited supply of waterfalls and sandwiches.

If you used leading whitespace you could wind up with something like old basics where you had to number your lines. It was great, you'd always skip 10 between lines so if you had a bug you could stuff a patch in between existing lines

If only it was only the early hours. The damn things scream pretty much all the time. I've had two neighbors over the years that accidentally kept roosters. So, if you want to keep backyard chickens, save yourself the trouble and get

I could see something like this operating like a WYSWYG HTML editor that either has a split screen or toggles between source and rendered views. I think creating any sizable chunk of code in something like this would be likely to involve wa

Not the person who said it and I wouldn't say "never"... But I will say that until we have a robot that can fold laundry, we won't have a robot that can go into your crawlspace and replace a chunk of crusty old galvanize

The thing is the total amount of work to do keeps increasing. We're putting firmware in lightbulbs now. When everything includes software, someone needs to write and maintain that software. If software becomes cheaper, we'll just

Is it? Every usage of the word "dune" is capitalized in both the article and the link. I clicked through because I was hoping to see something related to the book or movies, or even the Jodorowsky project that never materialized.

I wish there was some way to calibrate this. My webcam sits low on my desk (it's built into a laptop screen that is one of many) so it was almost impossible to look up without it saying "too far" and I had to curl around myse

Raku has a really weird but cool type system[1] that does both compile time and runtime checks. Because some checks are expected to be runtime only, it lets you specify types like "Odd integers" by writing a `where` clause. ``` su
