It is an editor that combines best parts from vim and plan9 sam[1] (multiple cursors, structural regular expressions).
For example, in Java version if you take a circuit and activate it with a button/lever - it would always behave in the same way. In bedrock same setup could have random result. And "random" is something you don't want in a large sophisticated contraption.
I'd guess it's caused by some race-conditions in bedrock implementation, but alas it wasn't fixed in 7 years.
Also there's a video on writing keyboard driver in Nim [2].

This filter might break functionality on some sites, so it's better to use more specified version:
||accounts.google.com/gsi/*$xhr,3p
`[no prefix]`: Blocks resources that have this text string anywhere in its URL.
`||`: Blocks resources that have a specific domain or subdomain.
`$3p`: Ensures that resources from a domain are only blocked if you're not visiting the domain itself.
`$xhr`: Prevents such resources from being downloaded through the titular JavaScript APIs.
b for boolean
d for distance / date
e for error / exception
f,g are often used as generic function name
g can be global value
r for radius
r is a random value
t for tally
t is any temporary value
m for matrixFull on PC setup also requires a lot more space than a small laptop.

- ebook-convert is not a small dependency, it seems that it only comes bundled with calibre software. And calibre has huge number of python dependencies (>400 packages on OpenSuse) - don't know about you, but I'm not polluting my install with that for a small tool. So, I've grabbed appimage version of calibre, extracted it and added symlink to the bundled ebook-convert. It is still around ~500mb of wasted space, but atleast it's local to a single folder.
Could you replace it with another tool/library, or include only necessary stuff with binary?
- Then I've encountered another problem. I have no piper installed on my system, but readme says:
> You don't need to have piper installed. This program manages piper and the associated models.
It didn't download piper release and proceeded without errors. Then it did download some models. After that it errored out on trying to change directory to non-existent "~/.config/QuickPiperAudiobook/piper" So naturally, I looked in source code, found link to piper tarball and extracted it myself.
A-ha! Now it works. Until..
- Done. Saved audiobook as /home/archargelod/Audiobooks/text.wav
You could try to guess what was the problem, but I'm going tell you right away: it didn't create "Audiobooks" folder and again there were no errors.
Thankfully, that was the last issue and after I created ~/Audiobooks manually, my generated wav was there.
No, not every user. Only entities that make millions of $$$ directly with that free software. They should be required to contribute!
Either donate directly or contribute hours proportional to your dependency on the project.
Except that you get mostly the wrong answers. And it's not too bad when it's obviously wrong or you already know the answer. It is bad and really bad when you're noob and trying to ask AI about stuff you don't know yet. How would you be able to discern a hallucination from statistics bias from truth?
It is inherent problem of LLMs and no amount of progress would be able to solve it.
And it's only gonna get worse, with human information rapidly being consumed and regurgitated in 100x more volume. In 10 years there will be no google, there won't be the need to find a written article. Instead, you will generate a new one in couple clicks. And we will treat as truth, because there might as well not be any.
They're a lot more advanced, essentially each has it's own scripting language + code editor + a lot of quality assets.
I know the reputation of Basic, but SmileBASIC is using more modern iteration of the language, it's not your BASIC from commodore or dos. I also find their documentation and overall number of available functions exceptional.
Fuze4 has a nice community, they also have a youtube channel with tutorials and competitions.
They all have a special place in my heart, because these 3 apps is how I started my programming hobby, before moving to Lua and, recently, to Nim.
Enu is a 3d live coding playground where you can control objects with code. Similar to LOGO but in 3d. It uses Nim - language very similar to Python and easy to pick up.

I've always been under assumption that one can avoid patent infringing if the underlying implementation is different enough.
For example, one of more famous patents is Sega's yellow arrow on top of the screen, showing player where is the next objective. In your game you can still use that feature of "showing player in which direction the objective is", you just have to be more creative about it, here are some immediate ideas I got:
- small red hand pops up from side of screen when you're stuck for a minute and points to objective
- player character himself points with hand to your goal
- make sun, moon or other celestial body appear on the sky in the direction where the objective is.
I know almost nothing about web dev, but that looked like a nice quick challenge. So I spent maybe 20 minutes to get it 90% there. It's missing a portion of text below the timer and a toast. 1948 bytes

For rarely run scripts, consider checking if required flags are missing and query for user input, for example:
[[ -z "$filename" ]] && printf "Enter filename to edit: " && read filename
if that's a script that's run very rarely or once, entering the fields sequentially could also save time, compared to common `try to remember flags -> error -> check help -> success` flow.
What surprised me is the fact that Termux always ships the latest version of Nim. They're practically the first to update the compiler on new version release, even compared to rolling Linux distros, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and Arch taking second and third place after a week or two.
I also have full blown Neovim IDE configured for Nim. In combination with a custom 7-row keyboard[1] it's even somewhat comfortable to use for a quarter of an hour =).

Small example of Nim code (from relevant article [2]):
var gc = 0
var total = 0
for line in lines("orthocoronavirinae.fasta"):
if line[0] == '>': # ignore comment lines
continue
for letter in line:
if letter == 'C' or letter == 'G':
gc += 1
total += 1
echo(gc / total)

[2] - https://benjamindlee.com/posts/2021/why-i-use-nim-instead-of-python-for-data-processing/> So how could it violate type safety by treating it as such?
By not allowing you to treat a type as a type it's implemented with, Nim could prevent some logical errors. Here's a good example of such logical error from Wikipedia:
> For instance, inches and millimeters may both be stored as integers, but should not be substituted for each other or added.
Or example with strings: Nim has `Path` type that's implemented as `distinct string`. You can't mix and match Path and string, unless you explicitly convert their types:
import std/paths
let prefix = Path("/usr")
let bins = "bin"
echo prefix / bins # not allowed
echo prefix / Path(bins) # allowed
That's actually a feature - Nim is designed to be a type safe[0] language. Type safety has a number of advantages:
- Compile-time checks: Type system catches many potential issues and silly bugs early at compile time.
- API discoverability: IDEs and other tools can provide better autocompletion and type hints because they know exactly what operations are available on a string.
var hello = "Hello, World"
proc foo(s: seq[char]): bool = discard
proc bar(s: openarray[char]): bool = discard
echo foo(hello) # this doesn't compile because string != seq[char]
echo bar(hello) # this compiles because openarray[char] is compatible with string / seq[char] / etc..
- bland character design
- already saturated competitors space (Overwatch and dozen of OW clones)
- very recent controversy of Helldivers game requiring a Sony account
- social justice politics
So it's mostly politics, but I really don't believe Overwatch clone could be successful, unless it tries to do something very unique. Concord had nothing. Their main hook was 'nextgen graphics' and a movie-like trailer. And as we can see, good graphics isn't enough to sell a game.
The other killer feature of nimgrep is that instead of regex, you can use PEG grammar [1]

> If that's true, then there can be only two primary interpretations
There is a third possible explanation:
3. This particular war is full of misinformation and lies from both sides. Telegram can be used as a tool to spread your disinfo, masking it as truth.
I really doubt that russian military uses Telegram to coordinate anything, and if they do - it could be rare cases where soldiers haven't gone through any special training. But I can see how Telegram can be used to share other non-vital data. If it's true, then surely it's not incentive from above, but initiative from below.
You should keep in mind that it's not professional specialists on the battlefield, but mostly people who've been regular citizens just a few years ago.
