A problem I had was my grandma's phone battery running out. I made a little Android app that sent the battery level to an API which then put it into a storage bucket so I could see it remotely.

Wouldn't it be more efficient to convert waste proteins into fertiliser for plants? Plus, while the article makes much of the python's ability to withstand periods of scarcity, I would think storing grains/beans would be even

Quite odd to label people trying to end horrific violence as "militants"... And is it really outlandish to want to stop hurting animals that really are similar to cats, dogs and yes, us humans, at least as far as the ability to pe

I certainly don't excuse Hamas - they are a despicable & evil terrorist organisation - and more evil than the IDF. This is quite obvious and uncontroversial though, so people often don't bother pointing this out. If you launch

The vast majority civilians are getting killed & buried alive due to the aerial bombings where the IDF is trying to assassinate members of Hamas - they obviously don't give any warnings for such strikes. And the current offensive i

The IDF actually can avoid the vast majority of civilian casualties - they are the ones choosing to drop a huge number of bombs. They can do their job of defending Israel by actually protecting the border, and go after Hamas in a much slowe

Encouraging everyone to try going vegan - it can greatly reduce the amount of animal abuse and environmental damage in our world - plus these days it's easier than ever with loads of high-quality information on nutrition and recipes. I

I love how this sutta makes it clear what its definition of pure love is (wishing that everyone is well, unconditionally), and that this should be cultivated towards all beings, including animals. Sadly though most Buddhist laypeople are no

But work in social sciences will often be inherently harder to replicate due to, for example, groups of human beings being more complex than groups of proteins - so there are a lot more variables, confounding factors, difficulties doing dou

Interesting that Intel's code for this includes numerous references to LZ4, as if that's the actual algorithm the hardware originally aimed to accelerate.. So seems like LZ4 and ZSTD are quite similar? https://github.co

F# is also part of the OCaml family, has a great to-JS transpiler ( https://fable.io/ ) and F# code can also be used in .NET projects.

Much gratitude to Bram for being such an inspiration - not just developing a super-useful project but thinking about how his work can be of benefit to the most needy. All his good works continue on!

Just imagine how much tech debt can be generated by an overuse of GPTs... One concerning scenario is if software needed for e.g. garbage collection or food warehousing has some critical bug, but the AIs can't fix it, and the human empl

Thanks, I wasn't aware RTK now has a saga-like "listener" feature - will look into it! What I like about sagas are their simplicity & power (once one understands how generators & effects work), plus the eventChannel f

In my experience redux-toolkit + redux-saga for async stuff usually work really well. In case of performance problems one can go with profiling + targeted optimisations (e.g. a separate store, some locally managed state).

"Google killer" is hyperbole, but I think Google does have a challenge since chat-based search may be much harder to monetise & thus less profitable. One reason is because people are used to having ads on the search results pa

I've found Web Components to be a very nice way of adding interactivity to a server-rendered application (e.g. server-side Blazor). Lit works quite well and has options to avoid an extra build step ( https://lit.dev/docs

Yep, I'm also grateful to have discovered i3, only several years ago for me. Thanks to its low memory usage it's helped me save a decent amount of money as I'm able to easily develop on a Linux VM running on an 8GB M1 and don

I was "compelled" to get MacOS as I develop an iOS app using flutter. I needed a lightweight power-efficient laptop so got a second-hand 8GB M1 and can fairly comfortably develop (VSCode + dotnet + nodejs + many tabs in firefox) i

I find this very disappointing - to me one of the main points of EA is trying to maximise proven effectiveness & minimising unnecessary overheads. Where is the evidence that hosting so many in-person conferences is much more effective t

Also check out the VSpaceCode extension bundle - it reduces the need to use the mouse, but unfortunately not completely.

Thanks for sharing.. While we can admire & protect many aspects of nature, there's no reason for us to take other animals as our role-models..
