   Yeah, 4 different corner radius sizes is where I’m at too. Won’t be surprised if there are more.

   I count four different corner radius sizes currently on my screen, which is maddening. Apple has a thing against people with OCD. Or taste. The thing is horribly wasteful of screen real estate, and as someone who’s been writing a Mac blog f

   I’ve actually been building a few synths based on the Pi over the years—it’s been a great way to “get rid” of the older boards as time goes on, although since I’ve never bought a Pi 5 I suspect that time has past. You can use the Pi 2/

   leaflet is a tile rendering library. You can't edit or massage the data in any way, and most GIS work is not that complex--but it does require handling paths and other things that leaflet cannot really do.

   I'm so happy to know this exists because every single cross-platform UI toolkit I've used in the past few decades is more complex and weird. (Not that GTK1 can't be complex and weird, more that we've lost the art of crea

    Yep. I’m now on my second 4-year period of news avoidance (sorry US folk), and all I do is skim headlines every other day—-everything I need to know seems to surface in social media (which I only check once a day or when waiting for somethi

    Sorry, but I tried and just couldn’t get compose and networking to work the way I wanted - as well as permissions, volumes and a lot of other stuff…

    One of the things this model is actually quite good at is voice cloning. Drop a recorded sample of your voice into the voices folder, and it just works.

    You should look into the various Pool classes. Back when asyncio came about, I did a lot of experimenting with various multi-core approaches: https://github.com/rcarmo/newsfeed-corpus

    I personally recommend aiohttp. Setting up a ClientSession and letting it do its thing is quite nice.

    I've had no real issues with async, although I primarily use libraries like aiohttp and aiosqlite and even write my own helpers ( https://github.com/rcarmo/aioazstorage is a good example). The vast majority of the

    I’d be really interested in understanding how real this is since I have most of them on disk and only a small percentage of that disk space. And they’re not 240fps.

    The “use a website instead” angle doesn’t really work for a lot of things, and given the impermanence of websites these days, is actually a major point of potential failure.

    He is completely correct in principle, as most of the AI startups I have crossed paths with (I do some investment advisory) keep throwing AI at the wrong problems and/or don’t know how to mine for value in a product concept.

    This is kind of pointless given that iOS’s autocorrect has been adding em dashes, ellipsis and smart quotes to comments since… forever. (Like now) It’s become a weird kind of witch hunting regarding blogs, too, and I have a 20+ year old sit
