Thanks for explanation. > they’ve disabled the user’s ability to turn off “auto-join” on iOS How (and why) is it even possible for carriers?

Some links in the article indirectly refer to SDT (Self-Determination Theory), but I think it deserves more attention here. It's the very mature and well-studied theory on human motivation, and three main predictors for intrinsic motiv

What would be the best way to give another try to Wine on MacOS to get this "works so well" experience?

by divan 4y ago
The best explanation I've seen is in the book "The Secret Life of Programs" by Jonathan E. Steinhart. I'll quote that paragraph verbatim: --- Computer programming is a two-step process: 1. Understand the universe. 2. Exp

It's not a forum if it doesn't have (broken) PHP plugins. (: But yeah, article gives some glimpse of hope for communities.

Just tested it on a side-project codebase. Main impression - it does hallucinate like crazy. I asked "How does authorization of HTTP request work?" and it started spitting explanation of how user bcrypt hash is stored in SQlite da

And people are using go-bindata since Go<1.0, so Go supports embedding assets since forever.

Right, my thoughts as well. I'd love to have file-only database like SQLite but with EdgeQL instead. But at the moment EdgeDB is built on top of Postgres. Not sure if there were any discussions about abstracting it away.
465.
by divan 4y ago
The number one thing I like is that the EdgeQL as a language allows to convey clearly what exactly you want from the database. That's kinda a definition of "expressiveness" for me. > that don't ever care about the act

This is cool! So basically it's enough to add astrocommunity/pack/go plugin and it will handle all plugins/sitters/syntax/etc needed for the lastest Go nvim experience, right? I've been looking for such an

I switched to EdgeDB couple of years ago, and after writing EdgeQL I never ever want to go back to writing SQL queries again. SQL now feels very unexpressive and clumsy, but I didn't have that feeling before I had a chance to compare i

Thanks! Can you provide an example of what you mean by pocket projectors? Author of the video I posted in comment actually built the table top projector with this curved mirrors. The closest thing I found at the moment.

There are, but they don't have constraints of being small, mobile and staying on the floor. Here is one remotely similar stuff, but it's too bulky and more complex (I need static ring basically and gadget that can fit the backpack

Right, ring is the right word :) (well, in the more perfect setup, I'd love to have more complex but based on the ring shapes, but ring would be a good a start). LED+collimated lens and a mask sounds OK, but two questions: a) probably

Thanks for the comment. Scanning laser path is something like LaserCube is offering, right? I talked to them and they warned that it's a class 4 laser and shouldn't be used anywhere accesible to people for safety. So yes, basicall

Thanks! I loved that video of Steve, and tried to find how can I actually design such lens like olympic rings myself, but ended nowhere atm.

Thanks, I should have stressed that mounting bulky equipment is not an option. The challenge for this is that device should be relatively small (something you can easily carry in a backback) and work from batteries. The place where it'

As a thought experiment, imagine that we would have started with Lotus 1-2-3/Excel type spreadsheets instead of formatted text. I believe that we would develop tons of layers of abstraction on top of this too, in order to make cells an

Why is this downvoted? Questioning the motivation vs discipline dichotomy is a very right thing. You may disagree with arguments, but then present the counterarguments. From the point of view of SDT (Self-Determination Theory, the main theo

Is there any discussion in webdev community whether using typesetting engine from 80s is even a good idea for modern performant UI apps? Or it's just taken for granted and never questioned?
