Geez, did Apple CarPlay burn down your house and kill your livestock or something?

The Washington County library system is excellent; I love that one card will get you access to the entire area.

There’s certainly novelty to this, I’d love one if the price were reasonable. Direct capture, almost like a polaroid for vinyl records, no need to “develop” it.

I imagine artists could sell a super-limited (i.e. 1 copy) live recording of a show the second it ends for a premium, especially if they kept the machine on stage and personally packaged and signed it.

Neat page, though having a section for total number of devices might be useful, anything that can download a lot of data via automatic updates.

Video games are in the hundreds of gigs now. Having a faster connection than strictly necessary saves a lot of waiting, in my experience.

I reckon most folks have made a git oopsie and needed to re-clone a repo at least once in their career.

Having a “local remote” would be an awfully quick way to do that, especially in situations with no/low network connection or a flakey upstream server.

> valid AF

Nope. We already had a frigging phrase for that, and it’s “completely valid”, not “valid AF” or “cromulent” or whatever. Dumb.

Emergency broadcast is a big one, as well as location-specific information like road conditions.

The custom css is tight, love using inky blacks on my oled devices with just a single style sheet.

Agreed, it's amazing they don't crash more often, given the complexity of it all.

If we view this through the lens of the “American civil religion“, these spectacles aren’t too unlike crowds of folks gathering to witness miracles.

This might explain why Apple has so many positions open at their Beaverton office, which coincidentally is not too far from ASML and Intel.

From what I recall, caffeine is mostly a concern for folks with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions.

Most adults can build tolerance, and I believe some studies are showing potential links between caffeine consumption and positive outcomes.

Of course, things get a little weirder with higher doses, and I am a bit concerned about new methods like pre-workout powder.

I had a calc prof years ago that would say f of cow, or f of pig instead of x or g. It was more engaging trying to keep track of f of pig of cow than the single-letter func names.

He was one of those classic types; you could always catch him for a quick chat 4 minutes before class, as he lit up a cig by the front door. Back when they allowed smoking on campus, anyway.

Maybe it's because I type like one would play the piano (with hands curved, fingers well below the palms), but I've never ran into an issue like this with a laptop before, wrists always clear the edges by a couple inches.

All the same, hell yeah.

Thanks for the share, crazy that 1-2mm polyethylene is all it takes to cap a landfill.

Practical Engineering put out an excellent video on landfills a couple years back, well worth the watch for the visualizations alone.

Not sure they count as “products” in this context, but TypeScript and Playwright are still nice.

> in-distribution for training data

Engineers are an opinionated bunch, safe to say at least a small chunk of us will disagree with what goes into the training pile.

For me, it's preferring Deno-style pinned imports vs traditional require() or even non-versioned ecmascript import syntax.

> If you already own OpenTTD on Steam, nothing changes. You’ll continue to receive game updates as usual. If you ever need to re-download the game, the game will remain in your Steam library.

This part of the announcement was nice, too. It would suck if existing users had it deleted from their libraries.

It’s a shame of bulk of that training data is likely 2010s blogspam that was poor quality to begin with.
