Me too!! It's a huge pet peeve. And it's so hard to get people to see how it's linguistically AND mathematically WRONG.

Blog is getting too much spam, so they are restricting posts/comments from Gmail.com addresses.

That's ok, I understand the desire. I also recognize that it's a lazy "fix". I have my own domain and prefer that so I can track compromised sites.

In quasi-related conversation though, in the last year I have encountered 2 "necessary" websites (insurance, and medical form) that would only accept: Gmail, yahoo, outlook, etc addresses!

It's frustrating.

And most importantly they teach their offspring about the dangers!

This information may have been supplanted but newer studies, but one study determined that African Wild Dogs were the most successful pack hunters on the planet with a ~92% success rate. (success being defined as 'eating' after a hunt.

Edit: Opening line from the article - Wild dogs are the most successful hunters in Africa, with a kill rate of 80 percent.

And my favorite story about these animals is that they vote! https://www.science.org/content/article/wild-dogs-vote-initi...

No it is not a mistake. It is not fashionable in digital media thanks I believe to twitters character limits.

Look at any printed media from the last 100 years. Printing presses, books, magazines, newspaper.

A double space offers a visual clue where a 'mental breath' takes place.

Given the context, your domain name is 'chefs kiss', perfect.

I am completely curious what your legal defense would be though.

"Come do things with AI that are probably illegal!"

What?! We had no idea people would do things that are illegal!

Quality of code output has dropped dramatically since 4.5 IIHO. Time to complete has gotten worse too.

Man, besides being slow; I really miss those days.

I could say I was "into computers" and it meant something. Eternal September ruined it.

Dell chargers only work (reliably, and at capacity) with Dell devices. Also Dell devices will (sometimes) refuse to work with 3rd party chargers.

Get a charger that displays the voltage & current being output on a port and you will quickly see what devices adhere to standards.

The USC-C port doesn't guarantee compatibility. Manufacturers are being evil and pushing proprietary protocols over open standards.

Lol, that's what I thought this was about too.

Why don't these people/companies think about how hard it will be to search for their $thing !?

It shows paintings based on your location and the 'time of day', or something.

From the `About`:

>Plein Air — A painting for right now, wherever you are

>Plein air — French for in the open air — was the discipline of painting outdoors, in front of the weather, the way Constable studied clouds in Suffolk meadows and Monet painted the same haystacks at every hour of every season. The painters took the canvas outside because the light couldn't be remembered later, only stood inside as you painted.

>Plein Air stands you next to one of those paintings. The sky over your head and the sky in the painting share the same kind of hour — the same long afternoon, the same threatening storm, the same fog clinging to the river. One painting, chosen for right now. Tap the title to see why it was picked.

Do you know what the maximum SD card size that it'll support? I'm especially interested if a 1TB card will work.

Here's an easy script to scan for compromised packages:

Not my script. It's easy to read/parse. Never pipe a script directly to bash.

Have you looked into Sway/i3?

In the infamous words of George Carlin:

"Selling is legal, and fucking is legal; but selling fucking is not legal."

I loved the look of the fonts on DOS after I upgraded from a C64. My favorite was the exclamation mark on 1024x768 (VGA). It had curves! Pointy at the bottom right above the dot, and the rounded curve at the top. I've never found a monospace non-bitmapped font that had the same character. (ha!)

I have encountered the exact same kind of frustration, and no amount of prompting seems to prevent it from "randomly" happening.

`the error is on line #145 fix it with XYZ and add a check that no string should ever be blank`

It's the randomness that is frustrating, and that the fix would be quicker to manually input that drives me crazy. I fear that all the "rules" I add to claude.md is wasting my available tokens it won't have enough room to process my request.

Similar in concept but for different reasons; does anybody know of a way to convert images into a '8bit pixel map'?

My wife likes to take images and crochet them into tapestry/blankets/cozies.

It seems to me that if we could get a grid overlay onto an image she could then make whatever she wanted. (One color per 'pixel')

Could you please describe your use-case? How do you use it? How do you make use of it?

I use Claude code, so I understand that paradigm; I don't grok this though. Is it any different then going to a web page i.e. gemini.google.com and typing your query there?

Could this side bar have been a "search bar" at the top? Now that I say it out lou, adding them to the 'search providers' isn't a bad idea.

Generally speaking I am against this being shoved at us, but I find it as a useful tool in a limited number of areas.

But the 90s was only 20-years ago!

lol, you got me. Stupid old brain not calculating time correctly.

It absolutely is worth trying. I look forward to it being battle tested and proven. I just don't want to be the one doing the testing.

rg, fzf, and several others that I can't think have proven to me that rust is the direction going forward.

I've been a fan of all rust-based utilities that I've used. I am worried that 20+ (??) years of bug fixes and edge-case improvements can't be accounted for by simply using a newer/better code-base.

A lot of bug fixes/exploits are _CAUSED_ by the C+ core, but still... Tried & true vs new hotness?

This comment does not deserve to be flagged. It is worth knowing the bias of the source as it taints everything it touches.

I'd rather have a slate.

Ublock origin Settings -> Filter Lists -> Cookie Notices (enable them).

No ads, No annoyances. Why are you still struggling with this?

Canada should re-enact the AutoPact [0] (tldr: I don't see this in the wiki article, but the real benefit was; for every 3 cars sold in Canada, 1 had to be 'made' in Canada). This was ruled as unfair under NAFTA and thus terminated. It also had the effect of incredible auto-industry cutbacks.

BUT, with a new contender (China); we could re-enact it, rebuild our diminished blue-collar manufacturing base; and hasten the rollout of EV vehicles. Which is the real objective here.

IMHO, that would be a solid win for everybody.

Check anybody that has done the AT.

The day-to-day impact of being diagnosed is practically non-existant for me. It might explain "why" I might react to a specific stimuli but it doesn't stop the reaction. At best it's something to laugh about with my wife. It does also offer an early-warning system when I'm over stimulated and that I need to 'get home' soon.

I've been a "PC Gamer" for 31+ years. The 'value-add' that steam brings to the table is INCREDIBLE. Thanks to Proton/Linux efforts.

(1) my games are installable AND playable on _every_ device I use.

(2) I don't have to fight with wine/crossover/etc to get things to work.

(3) It's not hostile to the end user (yet).

I have bought more games since the Steamdeck came out then in the 40'some years before that.

Yes I know that I don't have to use steam, but they make it EASIER.

I am looking forward to Deckard for all of the above reasons and their history with the Index.

Steam makes installing software EASIER then the alternative (regardless of the OS). Auto-patching/updates of installed games.

If I was more social I'd probably use those features more. If they ever charge a monthly fee, I'll stop using it.
