I hope nobody tells the neurodivergent about rotatewatches.com or diywatch.club, because it's been a money sink...

Or the moment Open Claw exploded in popularity.

The vending machine mention is about this paper from Anthropic: https://www.anthropic.com/research/project-vend-1

The gist is: Claude AI successfully ran a shop by itself! - Actually a vending machine - Actually a mini-fridge in our office - Actually it gave lots of discounts and free products on our slack - Actually it hallucinated a Venmo account and people sent payments to God-knows-who

The HTML version can be called HTMX

Does it automatically fall back to a table for screen readers? That’s certainly not ideal, but also not a bad start

I guess “Immutability changes nothing” wouldn’t have the same impact

A keyboard that is ergonomic without looking or feeling intimidating (https://github.com/cassiozen/fatbee).

The term "ergonomic" isn't regulated in the US, so the market is full of supposedly "ergonomic" keyboards that offer little real benefits—and in some cases, may actually cause harm.

My main gripe is with split keyboards. The traditional keyboard layout is wrong in so many ways (from the perspective of physiology and biomechanics) that just "splitting in the middle" isn't enough to avoid long-term injury.

Splitting is not wrong, but alone, it's not enough. You need to tackle it from multiple perspectives: Yes, Split the keys, so your wrists aren't bent outward, support the palms so they're not bent upward, and angle the middle part up (like a tent) to keep your forearms from twisting. That twisting is especially bad because it squeezes the carpal tunnel and can lead to nerve and tendon problems.

FatBee is my attempt to incorporate all these elements while creating something that doesn't feel too overwhelming to use.

Suggestion: Costco sell car batteries for ridiculously low prices, because they don't include installation. I recently got one for my Kia Telluride and it was $100 cheaper than any competition (because all competitions include the installed price). Installing is as easy but can feel intimidating to people: Could be another source of income for your app.

This is extremely interesting. Add federation and you have a decentralized GitHub

The title alone is already worth an upvote

Thanks! Yes, I’m working on a sample adventure right now, to be released in March.

Thanks - yeah, the font is Sogtric!

around 30% of the art in the book are commissioned, human made art. The rest are ai-generated then edited by me, so it’s not used in the book as-is. My goal is that, if this ever get traction, make a second edition without AI-generated art.

Andy Hertzfeld (folklore's writter) wrote "Revolution in the valley": a book about the Mac history, compiling many stories from his blog. It's a gem! https://www.amazon.com/Revolution-Valley-Insanely-Great-Stor...

I’m the author, here’s the pitch:

The Perfect World setting tells a story of human ambition, its ascension and fall, and the struggle for power in a world where technology binds everything. It delves into how AI, once humanity’s greatest ally, became a tool of corporate subjugation. Players act as neuromancers, hackers who can manipulate connected devices around them in ways that defy comprehension. If “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”, neuromancers are the wizards of this age, holding the potential to reclaim a society on the brink of collapse. Forge your narrative in a world balanced on the razor’s edge between utopian dreams and a dystopian reality.

Not sending them to school, and instead fostering their curiosity and having a home environment of constant, open learning.

Internal refactors that included moving to ES modules and ended up improving overall performance and size.

This argument bears a lot of resemblance with victim-blaming phrases, like: “She shouldn’t have been raped, but did you see the dress she was wearing on a dark street?”

It’s just so I can later reuse that type without having to pass in the generic. Like I do on lines 41 and 42

Lol

Why stop there? Let’s force people to sit on different places or use different doors based on arbitrary shit we come up with. Oh look, you just invented apartheid again!

I'm not a scientist, so I might be missing some nuance, but it strikes me that the experiment could indicate a million other things that are not "Ritalin causes the brain to focus on benefits of work rather than its costs".

For all I know it could mean the person gets to believe more in their capacity to do the hard tasks. Or it could mean that the person feels less distracted and more willing to engage. Or many other things... Am I missing something?

Author here. Yes, I made a series of videos about it, starting here: https://youtu.be/N0OaRdJuVlc

Hahaha, reused from a video on my YouTube channel, was created in 5 minutes on Apple Keynote

I think using a state machine can make the resulting code more elegant in some cases by coupling state changes and effects. But that’s not why they are useful. In my experience, they have been useful because they help map (even mentally) all individual possible states a piece of code can be in, and how the code should behave in each case. In the process, I usually discover and deal with more edge cases, more combination of states and behavior, and as a consequence the code is bigger/fatter. But also more robust.

It’s not directly related - this is a thin layer on top of useReducer and useEffect, so it’s more directly tied to React. But take a look at XState

Of course, XState is a huge inspiration and the golden standard of State Machines for JS. I visualizer is not on the short-term plan, but there’s a “verbose” mode that helps with debugging.
