My M1 often wakes from sleep only to beachball and 20hz-screen-refresh for 120-150 seconds. I think it's a thing with the memory-management. I have to restart the machine to fix it or it will happen every time I close the lid. Oh, and

Neat little project. Easy to setup and use. Unfortunately with macOS's "Dark Mode" enabled the colors have little or no contrast. And the UI renders very small for my eyes (and compared to the demo gif). This is a criticism o

I haven't played Thorium, but bridge sims are a lot of fun. Especially when playing with colleagues or other engineers. I've found non-tech people can get frustrated and bored with them, but my 70yo non-techie mother is in love wi

Sonos has a remarkably good implementation of all of this. For URL-based streams they buffer and NTP to sync. For live streams (e.g. gaming) they p2p multicast and tweak the wifi params in real-time to minimize drops. The speakers create th

Hey thanks for Magic Lasso. I've had it installed for years. Only after starting my app library from fresh did I realize how much I missed it (and it took me quite a while to figure out and remember that it was magiclasso doing the hea

I'm surprised the StreamDeck family of gizmos hasn't caught on as a popular aftermarket car mod. It's just little LEDs inside clear buttons. I'd love about 5 of them right on the center console that I could somehow progr

I have a recent Mazda. It boots to CarPlay pretty quickly. Its native controls are pretty utilitarian when they are needed (e.g. to switch to native SiriusXM when cell signal is spotty). I even prefer the look of its maps although I don&#x2

Not really. CarPlay didn't exist when the car was made. The car manufacturer had to add software integration even if the hardware was already competent. Parent comment is saying they'd pay to receive this added integration.

There’s an interesting rabbit hole in this snark. Something like public equity eating private equity’s lunch? Please expand.

I like Soulver, but I've found Calca to be a better fit for my needs. It supports graphing, unbound functions, and more advanced math support. Its UI is more minimal and the rendering isn't as nice as Soulver, but I find I'm

Moving to a farm or giving up on the industry for this is basically saying the tools are hurting more than helping. Tool fatigue is real. Most companies and developers do not invest in their SDLC. So you end up with a system where even a sm

A lot of bureaucracy at the beginning might not be bad if it's indeed front-loading it for an otherwise successful collaboration.

I actually really like SiriusXM. I have 3-4 stations that I play nearly constantly whether in the car, on the house sonos system, or while on transit. My 3-year-old car has a decent (stock) sound-system, and I honestly don't hear any c

As someone new to Rust, I look at the latter and see `.zip()` (apparently unrelated to python zip?), and then a lambda/block which intuitively feels like a heavyweight thing to use for adding (even though I'm like 90% sure the com

You can often solve ~70% of this with language interop. Bindings and FFIs are in my opinion very under-appreciated. This is the approach taken by PHP+HipHop, Apple with Swift/ObjC, and many Python bindings over C++ internals (TF etc).

Much like the others, this is most likely a ui reading the options from a dataset that was contaminated somehow. Combined with lack of maintainers actually using or testing the thing they maintain on a regular basis.

Leading underscores help you disambiguate `_name` the field from `name` the member-function. Similar thing in Python. How else do you solve this without it being even more confusing? Is `m_` really preferable? (Honest question.)
