I saw it reported that it has a crease. personally I liked the surface duo better with it's 2 seperate screens.

I've been wanting to do some ports of old games i liked on the atari 400 i had as a kid. some of them I want to see if they would translate to a mobile web game. couple i'm looking to translate are Archon, lode runner, balderdash and maybe some of the ultima games, I really liked ultima 4.

Did they recently add skulls on their badges and branded swag?

I dabbled with AI music for a bit with Suno. Worked out well for the most part, only way I'm ever going to hear music with themes for some of niche things I like, like Shadowrun. I threw a bunch of music genres at it and some were good enough that I added them to my normal playlist but after about 30 completed songs I had a hard time coming up with new stuff. As someone who has never tried to create music myself it was fun to play with.

was looking at this a few days ago. my son got into cassettes last summer. even bought a dual deck off facebook market place to record mix tapes, worked great tape to tape.

I got to get me some new surge protectors and not the cheapies. maybe a small ups.

setup a desktop with n8n, ollama, open webui, comfyui, and aider. work is dragging it's feet on AI orchestration and workflow tooling so figured I learn it a bit to get ahead of things. just need some personal projects that are interesting enough that I'll pour time into them.

Wonder if android will scale up to a windowing interface for larger screens or will it be like samsung dex.

The cynic in me thinks that this is a way for bigger farms to gobble up smaller farms by calling in ice but knowing that they will be able to keep ice from raiding them unless a bigger farm pays to have them raided.

Phrasing matters. using "didn't" puts a bad light on FEMA but if they used "couldn't" it changes things. no idea which it is but i'd bet it should read "couldn't"

From my limited experience, former coder now management but I still get to code now and then. I've found them helpful but also intrusive. Sometimes when it guesses the code for the rest of the line and next few lines it's going down a path I don't want to go but I have to take time to scan it. Maybe it's a configuration issue, but i'd prefer it didn't put code directly in my way or be off by default and only show when I hit a key combo.

One thing I know is that I wouldn't ask an LLM to write an entire section of code or even a function without going in and reviewing.

Just want to say thank you for having a link for "as seen in" showing all the fake movies/tv where they are from.

My depth of stock trading stops at the buy low sell high level. Can someone explain a little more if you have time? What would have happened to those trades if splunk had went down 20%?

i don't use apps other then a broswer for the most part, so not that broken up about these api issues. i also don't use reddit as much after they removed the .compact templates.

ah the hours spent building the perfect computer on paper using arbitrarily decided limit of money I was never going to have.

In this day and age I feel that things like this should have an in person registration for a few days or week before the online registration.

for me it was a hobo clown painting in the family room whose eyes always followed me as a child. told my parents it was scary but it never came down, i just assumed it had a lock on my parents souls or something.

raspberry pi on your own network that updates an RSS feed that is hosted on an S3 bucket. get the RSS updates via reader, outlook or slack.

Feed readers are my learning project, I use it to learn new languages. I've built and rebuilt readers in vbscript, vb.net, c#, php and python. php and python have been the easiest since they have good parser libraries. Also I've used SQL Server, MySQL, SQLite and just JSON flat files. I think I've built something like 10 or so variations. In the last few I've expanded to not only pull from RSS and included Hacker News, Twitter and an enhanced pull for Reddit feeds. Though I'm not pulling Twitter currently because of some API changes that I've haven't bothered to spend time on.

Helpful hint if you need favicons for your reader you can use Google.

The above is a load balancer for this url where the t1 subdomain may change to t[1-9] but this URL allows you to change the image size.

I use it to grab and store sizes 16,32,48,64 of the icons with a monthly update ping.

My current iteration is built in python with a mysql backend. It's setup in a river of news style with an everything river and one for each feed and I generate topic bundles also. The feed engine is running every 15 minutes grabbing 40 feeds at a time but the static site generator is only running every 6 hours to keep me from spending all my time reading news. Since I pull in Reddit feeds I found that it's great for feed discovery.

on taste. I find all sugar substitutes to taste like poison. Wondering if there's reason for that?

I missed getting everything from RSS. A couple years ago I built my own engine that could bring in twitter, reddit, here and a few other services that didn't have RSS feeds and published the results to river of news style flow with a few topic specific tributaries. Haven't used it in years but have been thinking about restarting it.

Death of the author and spouse. No need for it to transfer any farther then that.

some were in Detroit but I believe they've all been paved over now.

digital idiocracy

as a watcher of a few usenet flame wars in the 90's, I can attest that nerds can be emotional.

I'm neutral on SQL but very big on the right tool for the job. My rule of thumb is, if i'm querying data just to massage it and then stuff it back into the database then I first try to do that as a stored procedure. I remember learning about windowing in SQL late into a project and after redoing some python functions as stored procedures really improving performance.

Any thoughts on integrations with Litmus or Emails on Acid?

Outlook on Windows is such a pain in the ass. Who ever thought using Word to render HTML emails was a good idea should be pink bellied.

Great game. The version I had on the Atari 400/800 was super fun. It had a level editor and during one summer I pretty much spent my day building a level for my Dad to play when he got home.
