In the same scene there's also a 24h clock. The movie was way ahead of its time (pun intended). :-)

The 10h clock is also used in the scenes where a worker madly adjusts the hands to keep the moloch running.

I wonder if there's a project like there's OpenWRT for routers, just for vacuum robots? Where you just can buy some device form a normal online shop, then flash your custom firmware, and off you go with a privacy respecting fellow that doesn't film you and doesn't send everything to some US or Chinese cloud. :)

(I still use a traditional vacuum here, because all the privacy and snooping aspects of those robot thingies.)

I always encode my AAC with VBR. Why wouldn't you, right? I guess I'll stick to apple or fdkaac for now.

As long we still have DCF77…

Like one time? It is like any other API. You look it up, study the parameters (in this case you need to look up in which register is what argument expected) and off it goes.

The site loads somewhat, burns 100% CPU non-stop, I can't really click any of the buttons. I guess it's not for me. :)

Never paid a cent, never will pay a cent. I have my principles.

It may put me at a disadvantage when it comes to quickly slop something together? But so far the free-to-use chat bots do as well for my needs.

With the title I was expecting some notes about DeluxePaint, but it was still a nice read nonetheless. Wish you much success with the game! :-)

I've made a brainf** interpreter in C, from scratch. I didn't use any "AI" though. Does it still count? :)

Maybe I should remove the following bit of code from my profile?

    if [ "$SESSION_TYPE" != 'remote/ssh' ]; then
     if [ "${TERM_PROGRAM}" != 'tmux' ]; then 
      ( if [ $[RANDOM % 10] == "0" ]; then fortune -n 40 -s; else echo "Hi, $(whoami)!"; fi ) | cowsay | lolcat && printf '\n'
     else
      if [ "${TMUX_PANE}" == '%0' ]; then 
       fortune | cowsay -f small | lolcat && printf '\n'
      fi
     fi
    fi

It's a whole chain of interpreters firing up (sub-shells, Perl for the cow, Ruby for the lol, I think.) :D

But what would life be without a little bit of fun?

Still the same. I guess it's some sort of wild anti-bot stuff basing on the user agent?

/edit

Yes, as confirmed with cURL, using my browser's "User Agent": 410 blocked. Using some other "User Agent" and it passes along the data. Pretty silly, IMHO.

I'm just seeing a "410 Gone" error on the linked site (same happens to the parent URL too).

I'm waiting for the second version (supposedly has a better number of RJ45; that's where the "One" was a bit limited and an extra switch would have been required in the setup)

And that's why we educate others and let them know about their options. You have to start somewhere.

If it's a "router" and you can't install a OpenWRT on it, then it's an absolute no-brainer to not to buy it.

I recall, back in the AmigaOS days, we kept the documentation inline with the code. E.g. you had your exported API function in a shared library code's .c file, with the documentation right above it sitting in a special formatted comment. Easily kept in sync (code wasn't that convoluted back then either.) Afterwards, during the build phase, the documentation (for other developers) was extracted on-the-fly. There was a fixed format/style and the documentation was compact and actually useful too.

(aka "autodocs", for those who remember the term)

I learned something new. That also explain why it was a quote and I didn't found the quoted part in the news item itself. :)

For the price tag I would have expected something bigger and more imposing (at least twice the size.)

I duckduckgo'ed "nose gear collapse" earlier and it seems it may be an issue that's more common than expected? At least there were lots of images of airplanes with broken front wheels and the nose touching the floor.

Thanks for the quick summary.
