There are also free software synths and DAWs available. GarageBand is the obvious one if you use macOS. I had lots of fun with that and with NanoStudio on iPad. I also own a Pocket Operator, which is fun and very mobile, but a bit pricey.

> A 3D-printed enclosure is fine for a prototype, but a real product likely needs injection-molded parts, which require expensive tooling. For kid-friendly toys, yes. But for older users not necessarily: https://teenage.engine

True, but people can use classifier words like "I think …" or "Wasn't there this thing …", which allows you to judge their certainty about the answer. LLMs are always super confident and tell you how it is. Period.

I think a lot of this simply depends on the distance between home and school (or other places kids need to go to) – so it's the difference between a compact city and sprawling suburbs. Where I live (central Europe), the density of publ

CyberChef is very versatile – perfectly fine for web devs too. It handles UUIDs, JWT tokens, JSON formatting etc. You can create complex pipelines, doesn't mean you have to .

Most of these tools are also available in CyberChef, with the advantage that you can combine multiple steps to create data transformation pipelines. https://github.com/gchq/CyberChef

This improves on one of the annoying problems of dark mode UI: Usually (in light mode), windows have a drop shadow which makes it easy to see what's in front of what, and where the borders are. In dark mode, the drop shadow is barely v

If you want to adopt it in your workplace, I would not recommend nushell. They have severe, long standing bugs which don't get fixed. The most annoying to me is output formatting: https://github.com/nushell/nushell

jcgl already answered this well. My example was merely to show that you can go from PS objects to old fashioned text processing without issues. Any non-PS tool will just receive the text representation of the objects – exactly as you see th

I wanted to brush up on my mostly forgotten high school math and found a free online course which used this ALEKS [1] tool. It was perfect for my situation. It was some course on edx [2]. Can't find it right now, but you might find ano

What if, instead of fighting the symptom of people writing faulty, exploitable software, by explaining to them that Rust (as a stand in) is good, we try to fix the cause ? Imagine if for every data breach, every ransomware attack, every

It sounds extreme, but the bulk cost comes from the coffee shop and those costs seem very reasonable (labour, equipment, rent, milk etc.). On the other hand, I buy high quality, roasted coffee and prepare it myself. I pay maybe $0.30 per cu
