Re:Does anyone use sound effects in their dev environment? on Monday September 16, 2024 @01:10PM (#41558195)
At one point I had my partner scream "breakpoint" and recorded it, it then played from my ide whenever a breakpoint was hit so I would swap back to that workspace and continue working.

But it got extremely annoying within a few days as you could imagine

Asking it to write code for a react notes project and it's giving me the same response, bizarre and embarrassing.
I used to like 20 seconds from this exact spot, even though I believe it. I'm in some disbelief that this is real, it's just so accurate.
Hopefully this java can illustrate the point if you're not a Java lover

The bag essentially works like this Map<K, Collection<V>>

But looks like this Bag<K, V>

I use my own simple "BagSet" which works like this Map<K, Set<V>>

I love the Bag! It's so simple I use it constantly
Re:HN Predictions for 2021 (2020) on Sunday January 02, 2022 @05:12AM (#29767414)
I found this too, I checked the top posts and it seemed as people were almost unanimously incorrect. These were likely "good" predictions too, it just shows how much of it is guesswork I suppose.
I love fasting and typically I have one meal and fast for 22 hours a day, but please be careful with multi day fasting.

I drink a lot of water and on two occasions on 60 hour fasts I passed out cold, falling to the ground and chipping one of my front teeth in the process, but it could have ended much worse.

I eventually figured out I was not consuming enough electrolytes relative to my water consumption, I still recommend long term fasts but please do more research than I did and be careful.

I have kept that chip in my tooth to this day to remind me my naivety and how lucky I was.

I've lived in Amsterdam for 2 years now, and whilst the "fear" of the cyclists has long worn off, there is still considerable inconvenience as a pedestrian. Many busy areas have a pavement only wide enough for 1 or 2 people at a time, meaning you constantly have to walk in the road and compete with the cars and bikes. It can be really quite unpleasant.

That being said in order to maintain the beautiful traditional architecture and layout of the city centre sacrifices must be made, and as a cyclist I also feel the pain of being blocked by pedestrians. Everyone suffers a little bit, which from what I've heard seems to be a dominant Dutch political philosophy reflected in its coalition governments.

This is incredible, I have been building out my own version of this based on my readings (using https://obsidian.md/).

It's fascinating to see it at this scale.

Just another step towards the creation of our digital animas
Re:City Guesser – GeoGuessr but with video on Monday February 01, 2021 @04:02AM (#25986909)
I really love this, I enjoy geoguessr a lot but hate the clunky navigating. This feels much more atmospheric

Not super pleased to acknowledge robots can now dance better than me
Re:Pure Skill Minesweeper on Monday August 17, 2020 @03:47AM (#24184976)
It's interesting I actually made a similar version of this called "quantum immortal minesweeper" in which upon clicking a bomb it would check whether or not you could calculate the bomb was there, if you could not, it would change the position of the bomb to another possible location.

People ended up being confused by this idea, so I instead made a button that they could click if they thought it was not possible to figure out the next mine. It's a little bit janky but if anyone is interested you can check it out here: qims.greg-mitten.dev

Re:Cryptocurrency system using body activity data on Monday April 20, 2020 @10:58AM (#22924364)
That is not true, cryptocurrencies do not necessarily have to be decentralised.

Although I suppose that depends on your definition, but then you would be disqualifying something like XRP from being a cryptocurrency. Which people generally agree is.
