I think even worse than "no future" is no change. Biden and Kamala pretty much ran on "we are not stupid (like Trump) otherwise no change" and Trump ran on "I'm going to change everything".

It seems the left is scared to propose/pitch radical change.

Not that radical change is necessarily good (see Argentina's historical flip-flop from radical left, right, libertarian, and authoritarian) its just that belief of change is required to believe in a better future.

 

Took me a sec to see the vision, but after reading I agree it could be a really useful idea.

Combining this with accelerometer data (road quality) and sound could make for a pretty good scoring system.

Seems interesting for those who do symbolic computing

I'd be happy to test on android, I'll send a DM

If you make it manage ssh keys on desktop (create new ssh key, give them nicknames, set default key, etc) I would be thrilled. I've attempted to make my own, with Tauri specifically, but I just have too many projects.

I have also come up with a way to compile the keepass crate to WebAssembly

This is exciting. My only request here is: whenever it works please release a standalone wasm file somewhere (anywhere). So many projects either require building the wasm themselves, or instead of releasing a .wasm, they release a JS wrapper that auto-loads the wasm/wasm-imports. Its a pain to try to extract the wasm out of those projects.

My thought is, they're just starting. It is incredibly hard to start a vehicle manufacturing company. Hopefully if they get enough traction (🥁🐍) they'll expand to vans, roadsters, and 4wd models.

Hell yeah, thank you for doing that.

IKR? My favorite part was:

Little baby windows "are owu sure you want to dewete candy crush?"

Linux: hands you a gun "Do it. You are god" Eldridge horror sounds

The intro is great. He's got all the Linux meme's nailed

 

The best daily transportation isn't a car/truck at all, but there is still some need for freight/hauling to be done.

I'm posting because this truck feels like the opposite of modern trucks. I mean the CyberTruck (literally the icon of Cyberpunk dystopia) and other trucks like Rivian are:

  • extremely anti-right to repair
  • brag about their 0-60 (instead of practicality/efficiency)
  • a privacy nightmare
  • massive in size
  • have high prices across the board
  • are absolutely crammed with manadory luxury features like air conditioned seats or motorized trunks

This truck, with manual roll-up windows, seems to be about getting work done. Its not trying to be the biggest baddest fastest most-techo-advanced thing money can buy.

I bet, in less than 1 year, hobbyists will have solar panel array mounted on the back of these.

Oh I think you absolutely nailed it. I just meant its not just two separate words. Like the difference between a game with action and adventure" and an "action-adventure game"

I love it, I wouldn't have clicked this post without it. Its an actual term

[–] jeffhykin@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Continuing gaming's long tradition of dumb names for game genres, boomer shooters are first person shooters that don't use auto-regen health (COD, Halo), in offline they give health frequently from killing enemies (rather exclusively health packs), and they're designed to be fast paced, usually with a wide FOV, an absurdly high "walk" speed with no run button, and somewhat disorienting or labyrinth-like map style. They're often offline, but can be multiplayer player-vs-player.

Even if the game is completely modern: Doom Eternal, Ultrakill, Dusk, Turbo Overkill, etc its still called a boomer shooter.

Those are really good points, and I appreciate the input. I could see why alcohol being on someones desk isn't a problem, e.g. depending on the person its possible the bottle doesn't have a "gravity" tempting them.

I'm going to guess that reality is somewhere between my points and your points. Notifications can be configured, but my grandmother isn't going to figure it out. Having a bottle of alcohol on every person's desk is probably completely neutral for a lot of people, but could be detrimental to others. Etc

I'm saying one of the big downsides has nothing to do with self discipline.

  • Even if we never click an advertisement.
  • Even if we never eat from the candy bowl.
  • Even if we never use the bad phone apps.

Merely living in a world covered in advertisements, living next to a delicious smelling candy bowl, living 30 seconds away from memes, rage-bait, doom scrolling, sports gambling, and other slop -- just living next to those things are bad for our mental health.

Reminds me a bit of prolog with the query system

 

I know you guys build some pretty nice boards, but I think this is the most elegant one I've seen yet. (I'd post the image but my host lemm.ee doesn't support it)

 

This from the same guys who got neurons in a petri dish to successfully play pong. The CL1 is a box with biological neurons inside that can be controlled and programmed with an API. They've been working on this for quite a while and just made their first public release.

Its expected the CL1 will be extremely helpful for researching Alzheimer's and other neurological based disorders, including neuron response to medicine for faster drug testing.

 

I've got creeky floors under carpet (relatively new building). I don't own the place but the creeks and squeaks bother the hell out of me at night when I'm trying to not wake up the pup.

Didn't see any particularly useful advice online so any thoughts are appreciated.

 

While I'm particularly looking for chords (ex: if jkl; are all keydown at the same time then send the space keypress) I'd be happy to hear about your keymapping approach in general. E.g. how do you organize your layers, have you needed to custom compile anything, mapping choices you regret but are too hard to change now, etc.

I got my first ergomech board recently. I've got the background to flash the board manually and code everything in C. But before I go down that very deep rabbit hole, I wanted to see if what others had done/learned.

Personally I'm not planning to go full asetniop with cords. I think I just want a handful of chords to go along with layers.

 

JSON and YAML work great for passing data between languages.

However, sometimes, I have a pure function like y = mx + b, that I would like to pass between languages (for making plots).

What operators should be available? I think jsonnet's standard library(skip to the math operators) is the perfect example of a useful set of operations that could be shared across basically all programming languages. The operations would take/return json values rather than working with language-specific data types.

My question is does such a language exist already?

Close candidates:

  • Dhall and jsonnet are pure languages that generate json. But AFAIK they can't actually serialize pure functions. They can only use pure functions as a shorthand for generating json. I want to actually save/send functions over the wire.
 

Its not much, as its a variation on Iosevka, exclusively for programming, and I made it a while ago, but I wanted to see what the community thinks. (I tried including a picture with the post but it failed to upload for some reason)

I'd love to see more open source self-made fonts. Any criticisims on functionality, or recommended changes are welcome.
