Remapping a few things can make a full day at the computer much more comfortable. I struggle with RSI in my right thumb and index finger, so it helps a ton to have other ways to click the mouse button. I have a dedicated key for mouse click, as well as using Mod+Caps Lock as double-click. Don't be afraid to move shortcuts around if it makes sense. Brains are more adaptable than we tend to give them credit for.
Enjoyed the writing... the site is painful though. Please add a tweak to turn off the ".ca" flashing in the top left. Your Contact form is broken as well, otherwise I would have sent this to you directly.
- wire routing makes most circuits write-only. There's no way to follow the wires once a circuit is completed, it's easier to delete them all and start over.
- some of the later levels seem incomplete, at least as far as test cases: 2.26 Row Buffer you don't actually have to buffer the row to meet the requirements. 2.34 can be completed with a single VDD symbol. 2.37 and 2.38 I expected to have access to components that I had completed previously, but then it turned out neither of them have complete tests so they can be cheesed as well.
I have a similar sized macropad that I use extensively with AutoHotKey for application-specific shortcuts like clicking on buttons that don't have a keyboard shortcut, or scrolling two panes of a window simultaneously. All things that I could bind a key combo to, but I like having a dedicated button for.
Paste the original blog post into ChatGPT asking it to summarize or provide suggestions. Unintentionally copy and paste quotes from the ChatGPT output rather than the original blog post.
Man, this makes me feel old. Are people really having to work with "AI Team Members"? Trust ambiguity seems like a complicated way to say "unreliable".
In my small corner of technology (AV) I regularly use three products with physical USB license keys: Crestron VC-4, Scala Digital Signage, and Dataton Watchout. Two of them have a "virtual license key" option that costs extra, intended for use with a VM. I wish they were more rare...
Unexpected side benefit: this is teaching more about the ES6 module and class stuff that I haven't gotten around to using up on. Will be very useful on my next large-scale JS project.
Aha, thank you for that. I don't see an "unpin" though, just close. Sometimes I need to refer back to the chat messages as well. I know, now I'm just being picky.
This is so cool! Having a ton of fun. Only place I got stuck for a while is on instructions adding extra cycles - didn't see the note at the bottom of instructions.md. Did I miss a way to open documentation in the left pane? I keep taking screenshots of the docs that I can view on another monitor while I'm coding.
I think the click logic may be a little twitchy. My trackball button worked okay, but my footpedal button frequently did what you describe here - possibly due to a longer-duration button press?
And yes, that would be helpful, but would remove part of the memory challenge. Maybe an optional feature?
Very challenging and fun. Score 1695 and mistakes 315 when I gave up and started Googling things. Did not do so well on (rot13)Nzrevpna ICf, pnegbbavfgf, be FAY pnfg zrzoref. Pbzcyrgryl zvffrq gur ncbpelcuny obbxf bs gur Ovoyr nf jryy. Gung jnf zrna!
Sonic Pi is by far the most accessible way to play with these tools. It's designed to teach music and coding to kids and has great starter tutorials, and a ton of depth as well. Check it out!
