+1024. what the FUCK, Anil. We solved coding-is-for-everyone by throwing up our hands. please crush my body under the heaviest layer of abstraction yet and have the llm read my eulogy because who could possibly know me better than the code I spend all day talking to as if it were a human

I'm playing with this and wondering if this is an actually good way to identify dominant colors and other features of a garment/product when using a photo where the item is styled and not isolated from the model or other garments

I love that Glitch and Kinopio look like they were designed by someone with their own personal style/way of doing UI. Contrast with nearly everything else on the web.

For NVMe, if you get the SMART data with smartmontools/smartctl, you can inspect Percentage Used.

"Percentage Used: Contains a vendor specific estimate of the percentage of life used for the Endurance Group based on the actual usage and the manufacturer’s prediction of NVM life. A value of 100 indicates that the estimated endurance of the NVM in the Endurance Group has been consumed, but may not indicate an NVM failure. The value is allowed to exceed 100."

for SATA/SAS SSDs, there is "Media_Wearout_Indicator" which hasn't been a particularly reliable indicator in my experience.

I had forgotten but I am still a "Brave Creator", but I disabled the thing that lets Brave serve ads to people visiting your site because I thought it was yuck

So little amounts of BAT from Brave users who are doing the micropayments thing are still coming in, 5.46 in total since then ($1.18 USD)

my kids and I have tried a bunch of the 2d options and we'd recommend Bloxels for making platform or top down 2d retro style games.

It's very fun to use and it includes everything you need - sound, pixel art editor.

We started playing with it in 2020 and my kids still pick it up and make new little games themselves, without my help.

Downsides: 1) there is no coding at all so you are limited by the features it offers 2) another monthly subscription

I switched over to using it for my day to day just to check it out and I really like all of these things * a lot *.

I also like simple time tracking that displays tracked time as a bar on the border of your day or week view.

I think it's pretty nice as a personal calendar. For getting through my days and weeks, I was previously using Google Calendar + Microsoft To Do. I like this a lot more. I hope they do something better with the vertical text and make the habits more flexible.

I ran into this problem and it seemed to be triggered when 1) shipping addresses are not needed/collected and 2) the receiver account has any kind of sales tax calculations set up (deep in the PayPal settings)

I reported the issue via Merchant Technical Support on the 22nd and got this response yesterday:

"Unfortunately, the problem you're experiencing appears to be caused by technical issues within the PayPal system.

I added this account to our existing engineering ticket so that when the problem is resolved, you will be notified of its completion right away.

Our engineers are already working diligently on a solution to this problem. This ticket will remain in a "Pending Fix" status until you're contacted about the resolution.

I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience!"
