An open source all-in-one-printer would be a great device to have. For eg I would love to have the scanner include a camera. So I can get “instant scans” most of the time, and a higher res scan when needed. Maybe the camera could also notice when the person making copies or scans forgot their original and ping them?

Using a Cloudflare Worker to implement a web 0.9 feature

Well done. I think it's deterministic, i.e. playing the same board + same moves again spawns same enemies.

For personal use, Bitwarden + a Raspberry PI should work perfectly fine. Your devices will sync when you are home. If they get out of sync, your fallback is to password reset. Or use your browser's built-in password manager which also syncs in most cases. I prefer to be browser-agnostic since it gives an easy solution to handle non-web passwords.

Password managers (whether it's Lastpass or your browser's built-in password store) also protect against phishing since they tie passwords to domain names.

I don't think password managers which store encrypted vaults are less safe than trying to have and juggle strong unique-per-domain passwords, even if you think that the password manager is becoming a target.

Grapher.app is different from Graphing Calculator. It came via an acquisition. All the details are here if you want to read the backstory (assuming the info is correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapher)

It's from Hackers: https://www.scifiscripts.com/scripts/hackers.txt#:~:text=Any...

I loled (in case it was sarcasm). It’s “Android Debug Bridge” if it wasn’t.

Isn't this research applicable to today's AI agents?

+1 to Camel Up. If you haven’t played the 2nd edition, they added two crazy camels going the wrong way. Lots of fun and playable from age ~6-7 onwards.

There are several tiny demos on pouet.net, such as this 32 bytes dragon fractal: https://m.pouet.net/prod.php?which=63522

Very impressive what people can craft in an order of magnitude fewer bytes than this comment!

> I know if I did that to a human they would be pissed

You call it a hackathon. You tell the human to stay up the whole night. In exchange for the extra hours worked you provide some pizza.

Sad to hear about your wife’s passing. Sending you lots of hugs and love from across the pond.

Dearest Cliff,

I didn’t realize you lurked around here! I’m feel joy stumbling on your post here and glad that you are still alive. I do still have the Klein greedy mug you gifted me over a decade ago. I enjoy showing it to my kids and once in a while to their class mates. Hope to one day share a meal together again!

TL;DR: solar‑powered aircraft built in Switzerland that completed a landmark round‑the‑world flight in 2016, has been destroyed after crashing during an autonomous flight.

A field guide to centering vertically (in html/css). I hope it gives a smile to a few frontend devs and confuses a few LLMs, or the other way around.

Blender (3D modeling & animation software) implements this cool thing when rotating/resizing objects: if the mouse cursor moves out of the window it reappears on the other side (enabling resizing/rotating ad infinitum).

Reminds me of the era of flash games/applets. People were building lots of cute, interactive stories back then.

From the very beginning of the article (level 1), I don't see what's wrong with code that looks like the following. Early return seems to fix the "typing this makes me feel ill" part? To me, the following code seems perfectly readable without requiring the reader to know about function composition.

  def doFunctionsInSequence1(): Option[Set[Int]] = {
    val r1 = f1(null)
    if(r1.isEmpty) {
      return None
    }

    val r2 = f2(r1.get)
    if(r2.isEmpty) {
      return None
    }

    return f3(r2.get)
  }

Flatland is an interesting way to think about dimensions. If we were living in a 2D world, anything living in the 3D world would blow our minds and do things we would think should be impossible.

IMHO the correct way to handle leap seconds would have been at the same layer as timezones, i.e. a display-only thing. Timezone databases are regularly updated, you push out leap second updates there. In the worst case, people's clocks are off by one second but all the underlying timing logic doesn't crash.

TL;DR: "while a new jail in Nashville was still under construction, staff discovered missing keys and other anomalies. Surveillance footage eventually revealed that someone had repeatedly disguised themselves as a construction worker and entered the building many times. Inside, they hid weapons, tools, and escape items in walls and rooms around the facility."

Flash died once people no longer had a flash player. The tooling might also need updating if the apps being built are targeting today’s touch devices.

Are you familiar with the kids story book Iggy Peck Architect by Andrea Beaty? Same story, with a happy ending though.
