I suppose this could be solved by using the first server as an SSH jump host -- see SSH(1) for the -J flag. Useful e.g. when the target server requires public key authentication and you don't want to copy the key to the jump host. Not

A region-locked service with a waitlist is hardly "broadly available". I can't even enter.

No, because ChatGPT doesn't understand "concepts". It helps to understand that all it does is take your prompt and generate the most likely words that will satisfy the user. This is how it was trained. That doesn't mean

Good catch, that appears to be a bug! I'll have a look tomorrow.

Thanks for trying it out. If you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate it if you could open an issue with a screenshot of how the default behavior looked. Edit: merged a fix for this, thanks for reporting.

IANAL, but the top answer in this thread seems to suggest otherwise: https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/1640/if-im-us... > No; incorporating or linking against GPL requires that your project-as-a-wh

Thanks! I changed the license to GPLv3.

Indeed! And with PyQtGraph you can create live graphs and visualizations that update at 100 Hz or more. It's really fun.

Fair point. At least it's mentioned in the README. My goal was a lean and efficient tool without any extra fluff, so discoverability took a hit.

I wasn't planning on that, no. Is there a good reason to do so?

I used to have xclip integration in procal that would copy any selected text into the input field for just this purpose. However I removed it because it wasn't particularly useful and got in the way of "normal calculating" (a

I totally agree, which is why I included that in procal! Just right-click a cell to turn it into a sign bit.

Thanks for checking it out. You could play with the QT_SCALE_FACTOR environment variable to fix the scaling issue at least. Something like this could work: $ QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2 python procal.py As for the colors, that's probabl

Good question. If I want fast and cross-platform, GTK might be a more viable option today. What would you choose for a project like this in 2023?

Thanks! I come from the embedded world and my preferred language is C - hence the need for a calculator that can wield bits like this. I wrote this tool around 4 years ago and it was my first attempt at creating anything that wasn't a

I don't think the "job description" is accurate though. Most programmer's jobs is to write code that runs well _enough_ on the hardware that we are given. What "well enough" means depends heavily on whether you

For context, I assume the author is referring to the Oseberg Ship: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oseberg_Ship It's rather humbling to walk into its display room and I urge anyone visiting Oslo to check it out.

I don’t disagree, but how do you imagine they should adapt? “Checking the results” is difficult if you are not able to perform the task on your own, which means you need to learn the task in the first place.

Just wondering, what's your point? Are you saying that deflation is inherently a bad thing?

I recently switched from Chrome to Firefox and have not looked back. What eventually threw me over the edge is a recent "fix" [0] in Chromium after which Chrome will scroll an enormous distance per click of the scroll wheel from m

Hard to tell, but I think this is the natural resting spot for my tongue. Now I'm curious, where else would you rest it?

That RFC was intended as a joke though (look at the date). This isn't, and I agree that it sounds like a feeble attempt at controlling the floodgates.

The author explicitly mentions that they want their casual friendships back though: > It’s perfectly okay to have causal online friends from school, childhood, work etc and only talk through social media and keep up that way.

Who is the target audience for something like this? I'm not sure anybody is going to pay to have Apple's ToS simplified before clicking "agree". On the other hand, if you are squinting at a contract that actually matters

Taking a step back: Isn't it kind of daft that we humans must go through years of training to learn esoteric languages and ways of bending our brains backwards in order to tell a computer how to perform arguably simple tasks? In the id

I guess a lot of people are afraid of being left behind. What goes into the average developer's day? I think a lot of time is spent writing boilerplate, fighting with tiny CI errors, shuffling code, refactoring, writing tests and stari

There has been a lot of "well, we had a good run" comments on ChatGPT threads from engineers lately. I get where this sentiment is coming from, but I also think that the article paints a good picture of how we must "pivot&quo
