It's functionally just a VPN. Selfhosting wireguard or openvpn is not particularly difficult.

I think it's quite funny theme extensions even get to run code on the client. Soon: prudent CTOs ban all editors, devs forced to used nano

I think both of these are true. Balatro is a like a finely honed blade of dopamine harvesting -- it truly does build on the most addictive facets of gaming we have discovered thus far. It is also laudable in the ethos of its designer, expressed through the game. As others have said, there is not and will never be monetization, per LocalThunk's distaste for gambling(we can be pedantic and argue that at the core of each roguelike is a gambling aspect but).

I think there is a fine line here between the cynicist 'never indulge' and the consoomer/accelerationist 'do as you will'

I have also had 0 issues with pihole, but switched to technitium for the extra features. Only issues I have had were related to the SD card. Turned off query logging and 0 issues since. SD cards are an awful place to run an OS from.

Currently trying to implement the 'fuzzy' bit in this one:

After a quick google I found someone had uploaded a remake of this with JS:

I think this is a problem solved by github pages. If a project's primary distribution method is github, they should build a Page and link people to that, instead of the repo.

It appears to be streaming the data in and out to reduce ram load. On my desktop it was very laggy and had no detail for 2-4 mins and from then on I can zoom into any area and wait a few secs for the data to overlay. GPU usage is very high while rendering.

There are differences in representation for the mean annual flow of each waterway. Read the article.

Absolutely. It's difficult as someone on the former end of that scale to reorient your mind short term and enjoy philosophy, I think we get grounded into practicality / do things / get results mode, and it's a great exercise to try and engage wonder / analyze / enquiry mode.

I agree wholeheartedly. I think many readers here will be among the type to feel that philosophy is not 'practical' enough, myself included. But there is something to be said for humoring (some) philosophy from time to time, it really does engage the mind in a way you wouldn't find elsewhere.

Oklahoma is full of lowest bidder builders. Living in OK I rarely see a house built in the last 10 years that looks like it was built to last. Yet another thing Americans don't seem to care about anymore.

I really enjoyed this tutorial:

Yeah, I think what they are getting at here is a bit holistic. The question(unrelated to actual code quality) happened to prompt the author to play around with the new build, which happened to result in a bug discovery. I can see how it's a good question to ask (gauges confidence in code and end product) but this is really just another feel good anecdote from middle management.

I can see them coming in handy for large production lines and main bus inputs.

Fascinating. Bjorn appears to have an amazing, polymathic knowledge of OS internals. I wish I had his work ethic!

I would, if legal, carry a revolver hiking anywhere with dangerous wildlife :)

Yep. Per the developer(s):

NOTE: 12/1/2024 - We are aware that the Mac DMG does not install on Mac OS Sequoia. You can try the Java Pterm until such time that the programmer can get a new Mac and test and build a new package.

I spent a lot of time messing with fractal generators as a kid. Lots of fun. For those interested in similar, newer software:

XaoS, realtime fractal generator / viewer: https://github.com/xaos-project/XaoS

Apophysis 7X: https://github.com/xyrus02/apophysis-7x

Chaotica: https://www.chaoticafractals.com

I was wondering the same thing but cannot find any reference to Chaos in their documentation or forum.

You make a very good argument against prediction markets in which the stake has actual material value, but what about markets where the only stake is your reputation? My understanding of the Google platforms is that there were prize rewards for top predictors but largely the rewards were social, which, to me, implies they were not taken particularly seriously. An ideal platform might be one where there is no material incentive but users are instead interested in genuine hypothesizing about future events. Obviously there must be a genuine stake involved, but as we see with Manifold this can be done with 'play money'.

Would be very interested to see further discussion about this.

It's pretty noticeable on older apple hardware running newer macOS. Definitely a lot of compositing performance regression in Sequoia specifically.

I've been using the 18.1 beta for a month now and Siri is noticable better at recognizing your speech and working around less explicit requests e.g. "set a timer for 15 minutes... uh make that 10"

Feed readers and self discipline I would guess. I don't want to pay or host a feed reader right now, and I'm bad at self discipline, so I just limit what social media I use to HN and some blogs.

Not an expert by any means but there are a few factors:

1) the data sent between two nodes should be encrypted. As stated by reticulum and nomad devs, the software is in beta so privacy-violating bugs are possible, but theoretically the messages and identities can't be read by an outside agent.

2) the 33cm band[1] is not, from my brief research and basic knowledge of amateur radio, in wide use outside of hobbyists. It may be that in some places you would be the only person within a large radius actually using the band, meaning your signals stand out quite a bit to an astute observer. They would be able to triangulate the location of the transmitters with some work, but again, theoretically they could not read the communications.

So there are several opsec concerns for someone who doesn't want to draw attention to themselves.

Cisco CCNA study material is very comprehensive. You can play around with it in GNS3, packet tracer, or on dn42.

The USB-C charging is listed as 'for emergencies only'. I believe the battery is dual-cell and the USB-C port only charges one side which can damage the cell iirc.

It is a really fun, very cheap radio. Use egzumer's firmware and play around with it if you want. Just don't transmit out of the band it's spec'd for from factory. It will spray all over the place.
