This video from Linus Tech Tips presents some alternatives to Raspberry Pi 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvCVw1yONQ

It’s worth noting that this is a compiler for the Tiny-C language, and not as one might think a tiny compiler for the C language.

Sending good vibes to the engineers who will have to add Moon time support to the Java DateTime class.

I find it revealing that while somebody with experience in songwriting finds the result dull and mediocre, I who knows next to nothing in the domain finds its nice and totally fine.

Same goes for other domains: philosophy, coding, writing, ...

It's telling me that this AI can generate content in many domains way better than an untrained human would with minimal efforts, while not (yet?) reaching the level of experts in the domain.

It empowers all the non-experts in these many domains to touch things they never could have before. This is an amazing tool.

This is not claimed by the article afaict. It's stated though that json spec/syntax is simple, and that it's simple as a language; my interpretation is that this means "simple/understandable/predictable for humans".

Funny that the story is told by Sherlock and not Watson, that's not idiomatic of the series afaict.

I made for myself something similar, for display in my shell prompt https://github.com/netgusto/tax

For key/value storage there's Cloudflare KV * https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/kv/

For document storage, Durable Objects is amazing: * https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/durab... * https://blog.cloudflare.com/durable-objects-easy-fast-correc...

For relational data, there's now D1 (open beta): * https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/

For bulk storage, there's R2: * https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/

There's https://scalingo.com/ Works well.

Wow such a coincidence! I recently toyed on such a spec for my shell prompt task manager https://github.com/netgusto/tax (I display it in my prompt and my tmux session bar, it's nice to keep current work in focus)

I'm certainly going to look into implementing the spec.

Some questions/suggestions:

    * do you plan support for text unrelated to tasks ?
    * do you plan support for sections / nested sections?
    * idea suggestion: in tax (linked above) we use markdown bold to notify "focused" tasks and sections, ie the one(s) that should be front and center; ex:
        - [ ] **This is a focused task**

ah! TIL, I always thought it was a real word.

The durations are expressed in ‘ship time’, ie the perceived duration from the pov of the ship. This is explicited further in the document.

I use it with pi-hole [1], and as a Tailscale [2] bridge.

I tried to use it as an alternative workstation (running on sway over arch); the 4K display output is nice, but limited to 30hz, and the machine just isn't peachy enough for my use-case.

Amazing tech. Combined with a fast fixed cam it would maybe be possible to get a 360 degree FOV.

Yes! Tried that on Sway with code-insiders, but the experience is unstable (random crashes). What distribution are you running?

Indeed! TIL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouthing

I made a prompt todo reminder that could nicely complement this project! https://github.com/netgusto/tax

Also, reminds me of the blockchain oracle systems and smart contracts.

Cool idea, neat project!

Nice :) I love seeing Rust used for games. Also; similar project, but in ASM: https://github.com/gabi-250/slug

Cool, thank you! For a smoother animation, you may want to replace the setInterval() with:

  const anim = () => {
    drawRipple();
    requestAnimationFrame(anim);
  }
  anim();

If you're a developer and work on an e-commerce store or a marketplace, then you might have felt the pain of adding recommendations to your product catalogue. It can be complex to set up, and lack the flexibility you need to fit your specific requirements.

After search, Algolia is launching its second product Recommendations API, giving you the ability to optimize across the entire product catalog.

So if you'd like to add an Amazon-like "frequently bought together" module on your site, check out Algolia Recommend, we're very excited to launch this publicly today!

Algolia hosts their first Coding Contest. It's lasting 2 weeks. There are several categories; pick one and submit your project, which will be reviewed by the Algolia team. Also there are nifty prizes to incentivize your creativity.

Developers, developers, developers!

Very nice!

Last code post I wrote I became aware of how difficult it is to intertwine explanations and readable code in a way that fist a blog post format. Conforming to the linear structure of a blog post (technical information is often hierarchical) and to the physical width of a blog post on screen proved to be very challenging.

Literate code might help, but it's not a one size fits all solution. It's nice to see your project offers something original in that space.

Bitcoin will consume any and all energy resources necessary to secure its monetary network,

which is inherently driven by the base demand to hold it as a currency. The more people

that value the long-term stability it provides, the more energy it will consume.

In the end, this consumption will ensure all other derivatives of energy consumption will

continue to be fulfilled, which is why there is no more important long-term use of energy

than securing the bitcoin network. Put a price on economic stability and the economic freedom

a stable monetary system provides; that is the true justification for the amount of energy

bitcoin should and will consume. Everything else is a distraction.

Rhetoric of the article in a nutshell: Economic stability is priceless. Bitcoin is the one true way to have economic stability. The energy used by Bitcoin is then not wasted, however massive it is.

Yes! If you're interested in the topic of AI Safety, I can recommend The YT channel of researcher Robert Miles https://www.youtube.com/c/RobertMilesAI/videos, they are mighty nice.

Edit: yep, that's it. Here's the commit that removes the "Sh*t Message": https://github.com/Mr-Steal-Your-Script/bwfForum/commit/184a...

Congrats and many thanks to the developers! My kid is a fan.

We developped and just released a Netlify plugin that crawls and indexes your website when it's pushed to Netlify, to power your site's search bar with our search experience.

We're gonna share more details today about the integration at Jamstack Conf 2020’s Lightning Launch (Oct. 6 at 11:45 a.m. PDT / 2:45 p.m. EDT), and Sarah Drasner will join us for a demo and technical deep dive of the plugin (3:00 p.m. PDT / 6:00 p.m. EDT).
