Deno has that! Come join us :P no affiliation, just a happy user.

I think it could call (their equivalent of) clearRect up to 9 times on an already cleared region before drawing there?

Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank is another great book in a similar vein.

Chiming in to second this, Pump Six and Other Stories left me with a deep, deep sense of dread after I finished reading it. Highly recommended, such an underrated collection.

This is superb. Thanks for sharing!

As a foreigner, I'm super interested but somewhat lacking in knowledge on this subject. Could you expand on this being the repercussions of the bailout? I felt scammed when I read about it and my country wasn't even very heavily affected by the crisis (I was a wee lad back then though).

> Cross platforms, really? So for example between a Blackberry and a Windows CE phone?

Yes, it was part of the Bluetooth file transfer spec[0] and possible between any two devices that implemented it correctly.

this thing was so far ahead of its time https://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asus-PadFone-Smartphone...

if it came out today with say 16gb of RAM and used the new Android VM feature I would buy it instantly

You can get a $15 hot air station and it's fine for getting quite a lot done! Look for clones of the Atten 858D. And come say hi in #electronics on Libera :)

(no affiliation, I enjoy the original and wish for it to reach as many people as possible)

How does that work if the LLM is the one generating the probabilities too?

also isn't this just an easy way for LLM companies to get new content almost guaranteed not ai generated?

lol'd, thank you

Hi! I've spent the past few weeks rebuilding my web framework with a bunch of new stuff and I'd love to hear what you all think! It's got fine-grained reactivity but tries to stay as close to the DOM as possible (all methods work with HTMLElement and standard JS features) but still provide an easy-to-use API, and fits in under 5kb gzipped. A lot of the methods and utils can also be used on the server, though there isn't really anything SSR-specific yet.

Source code is on GitHub (https://github.com/xyzshantaram/campfire), PRs welcome :)

And https://send.djazz.se automatically performs the conversion for you with kepubify and sends it to your ereader! No affiliation, just a happy camper chiming in

three actually

So, the website is essentially an HTTP interface for managing an MQTT broker. You create an account, make a "room" (application concept, not part of mqtt), and then put your account name and the room secret phrase into the device (it throws up a captive portal). The device then uses these to connect to the broker to an MQTT topic that's sha256(secret) and from there it's just simply passing messages between devices.

McDonnell Douglas seems to have gotten it done, from a quick skim of [1]. It appears they ran out of funding and the program was cancelled. According to the same article,

> Elon Musk stated that the SpaceX Falcon 9 development was "... continuing the great work of the DC-X project."

So...

Spill!

It feels like a lot of people in these threads form their opinions of what desktop Linux is like these days based on one poor experience from back in 2005.

I just have a long text file with notes of all different things in it which I grep through as necessary for todos etc. But for time tracking I didn't really like what was available so I (shameless plug) built etu[0]. It's free and open source and I quite enjoy it.

irc isn't dead, come join us on Libera! (and there's tons of other networks too, i just feel disingenuous inviting you to ones im not on)

It's mind-boggling they are doing all these gymnastics instead of just allowing alternative app stores and browsers everywhere.

What browser? It works fine for me in Firefox, aside from the page scaling.

Out of curiosity, could you post a couple?

Surprised no one has mentioned sqlite even once in these comments.

There's some discussion about whether it has become abandonware though. Kai hasn't said anything since 3.0 dropped.
