This looks really good. It seems to fix all the warts and moles in Lua that used to exasperate me and adds type-safety which is a huge enhancement. Replacing the 'everything is a table' with records, arrays and hashmaps is also a

I immediately put a transparent case around my device as soon as I get it and put a screen guard on it as well. My wife mocks me saying that it totally kills the device's looks but considering how integral having a functioning phone at

The only thing forcing most of us to upgrade every 3 years is the fact that most phones now come with their batteries are either soldered on (in the lower end versions) or come with connectors (most often I think) but replacement requires p

Also in 'House of Suns' by Alistair Reynolds. The most revelatory idea for me in it was the idea of how a human being could plausibly become a near god-like entity. This isn't even the real premise of the book but a brief det

Blender's success is a lot due to how welcoming they are of new contributors. 15 years years back, this was the first big OSS project that I contributed to. Since I was a greenhorn, the patch I submitted (there weren't 'PR&#x

I don't think the scammers are using sequential iteration over numbers. I suppose it's more efficient to just call numbers exposed in a data breach. Your suggestion won't help circumvent that. I think.

This is fair, though in my answer, I wasn't answering the question from the perspective of applicability for a general audience. For a general audience, even Bitwarden doesn't pass the "grandma check". If you've use

I'd like to add to this. I signed up and paid for credits to access their API last weekend. All requests still get rejected saying I don't have sufficient credit. This is despite their dashboard saying that I do indeed have the re

Oh so the hashing and rainbow table attack questions they ask in Meta interviews is basically a cry for help?

+1 on this. ECS Fargate is great.

Downloaded and checked it out. Looks great so far. Tried using it to read a bunch of regulatory PDFs using GPT-4o. Some quick and early feedback: 1. The citations seem to be a bit dicey. The response seems to give largely correct answers bu

Does it bother anyone else that the picture featuring the author shows a blackboard containing seemingly unrelated equations just to make it look "this-is-high-brow-complex-mathy-stuff-that-I-am-an-expert-in"? Why would someone wh

+1 to this. I remember my boss asking me to build a MacOS UI we had on Windows with this. I was very sceptical that it would go anywhere. But no, it worked. I was just open mouth shocked to see the GUI worked pretty flawlessly in Windows.

This is something I found useful doing but not sure if it applies to learning in general, but here goes: - I regularly read technical texts, some related to math, some related to programming/software engineering - I ask Chatgpt4 (now C

The older I get, I realise that the most joyful accomplishments are in building something reliable that is also useful to a lot of people. The tools/stack used to achieve this matters, but only so much.

While my heart goes out to all the victims' families, what are platforms like Facebook supposed to do here? Are they supposed to monitor the content of the chats? Some would call that eavesdropping. The sad fact is that desperate peopl

Have been running Stalwart for around 6months now. Works great so far. Setting up DKIM, DMARC, SPF etc. was a breeze. Now I am able to send reliably to Gmail, and semi-reliably to Outlook. My mail volumes are very low however. I just setup

I read ULG's 'The Dispossessed' and while the writing is great, it more feels like social commentary with a mild flavour of sci-fi. I suppose am struggling to articulate this better. To give you a contrast, take Arthur C Clar

I didn't quite understand this post. Seems to be a series of contradicting factoids on banana prices. The writing is a bit too incoherent.
