A recent upgrade to Dietpi (Debian Trixie) totally broke `docker` operations in Swarmpit. Swarmpit is essentially abandoned, so I used it as an opportunity to migrate to Uncloud. It's been totally awesome.
Just to add my own observation here: some cuisines are really optimized for sharing in larger groups… certainly a lot of the regional Chinese cuisines assume many people at a table, with large (i.e. higher priced) servings. If it’s just 2 or 3 of you, you end up getting only 1 or 2 dishes, often with a lot left over.
So, this is a genius way of optimizing for that!
I totally want something like this here in Sydney.
I dunno whether "good" really applies to this, but I've gotta say I've been loving the cost, portability and reliability of the Numark DJ2Go Touch ($AU120):
I've got a cute little portable setup using it, a Raspberry Pi 5 with a 1TB m.2 SSD, 15" portable USB-C monitor and a Keychron low-profile keyboard and bluetooth mouse. Works amazingly well.
I'm betting that just about any controller would be worth a shot.
Not a course, as such, but reading “Measurement” by Paul Lockhart, of “A Mathematician’s Lament fame.
I’ve never read anything that so clearly communicates and leads you into a state of mind that COMPELS you to prove mathematical conjectures from first principles.
I found myself furiously sketching geometric proofs and simplifying algebraic conundrums with an enthusiasm I haven’t experienced in decades.
And a course on sewing for beginners and continuing Japanese.
Would be VERY interested in having visualizations of Apple Music data. I've had 20+ years to build up pretty significant play history.
Certainly being able to look into every type of health data would yield interesting insights.
One minor thing that does bug me: US date format. Probably be better to default to whatever short-date format is the user's preference in iOS. Same goes for metric/imperial.
This is gonna sound a bit corny, but it impacted me for reasons that will become clear: "1984", by George Orwell.
I was 13 at the time, and I was lucky enough to have a passionate English teacher that gave us challenging books to review. I chose "1984". It was the first book I'd read, up to that point, that didn't have a "Hollywood ending". The hero didn't save the day and get the girl… just the victory of tyranny over individualism. Admittedly, I had read a lot of crap, up till then.
As the leader directly tells Winston (i.e. you, the reader): "If you want a picture of the future, think of a boot stamping on a human face - forever."
I was gripped by the writing up till the very last words, then a panic set in… I thought that there were pages missing… I literally checked that someone hadn't torn out the last chapter where everything is made right again. No. There was no liberation. I sat stunned for the better part of an hour.
"The Dispossessed" by Ursula le Guin: never have I experienced the idea of a working anarchism described in such a genuinely coherent form.
This is remarkably similar to Calca.app, which I still use occasionally. http://calca.io/
I love that yours is web based! Can see it being much more reusable in a number of use-cases.
Calca was originally MacOS/iOS, but has since been ported to Windows.
I think that the notation in Calca to use a `=>` to display results maybe adds a bit more clarity to the math expressions, but your display style seems to work pretty well too.
The only advantage Calca seems to have is they’ve had almost a decade to add things like extra functions (compound interest, trig, …), constants, operators, etc.
I’ve always thought that style of simple but highly visible calculation is a far superior alternative to spreadsheets. Jupyter, LiveBook, Mathematica, etc… have shown that it works, but the world is still enamored with Excel, despite its propensity to hide mistakes.
A squib is what they use in movies to make something look like it’s been shot with a bullet. Kinda a little flat firework that ejects “stuff” explosively. Actors wear them under their costumes. They’re usually remote controlled
Tried going through the onboarding sample project from within VS-Code locally… I know, you suggest trying it in the Github Browser, but, hey, I'm perverse and it's available as an option within the extension.
It's not at all clear from the documentation or the onboarding notes how to seed a SQLite in-memory database and the CSVs in the `seeds` directory are sometimes referred to in the sample schemas, but sometimes not. So, kinda got stuck.
I know if I stuck with it (I got impatient), I'd figure it out myself, but it does seem to be a missing element in the docs.
This is so insultingly dumb. The skill and music categories are simplistic and show no knowledge of the true depth and breadth of music styles or techniques, and it pathetically assumes I want to find someone within 10 “miles”. You do know that there are 7.5 billion people on this planet that don’t know or give a shit about your dumb barbarian units?
“Yeah, brah! This’ll help you build your sweet-as rock band… or jazz or some shit, whatevs…”
