My daughter begged me to make a story up on the fly one day, and I came up with the gist of what would become this "book", which is really a digital experience in some sense. I had the story nugget in my head for a while and finally decided to do something with it once some of the ideas came together. I hope you like it (and if you have kids, them too)!
I didn't say generate :) - in all seriousness, I think you could reasonably have it copy the code for e.g. lodash.merge() and paste it into your codebase without the headaches you're describing. IMO, this method would be practical for a majority of npm deps in prod code. There are some I'd want to rely on the lib (and its maintenance over time), but also... a sort function is a sort function.
Sounds like the job for an LLM tool to extract what's actually used from appropriately-licensed OSS modules and paste directly into codebases.
I built
https://www.stoodious.app for my wife while she was studying for her California Real Estate Broker's Exam. She was frustrated with the price gouging on text books, or being the "state-of-the-art" study platforms being video only, having no/poor mobile UX or just feeling outright dated.
So I built Stoodious as a study guide platform that intends to give you the material and get out of your way, as opposed to the engagement-driving gamification of others. One of the killer features is being able to drill practice questions related to the specific study section you're working on - e.g. 20-30 questions about water rights, encumbrances or calculating GRM. Frequently my wife found herself studying vocab for a section but having to skim through a 100-question practice test to find related questions.
I extended the material to all 50 states' basic real estate licensing exam and am looking to add even more "professional exam" material.
This is an amazing spreadsheet - thank you for sharing!
I have the same phenomena - loud sharp noise is like a flashbulb goes off. Reading another commenter mention EHS and looking it up, I don’t think that’s it either. Have had multiple RD surgeries myself. Hope your vision is otherwise stable!
Plus one-ing this - I think the external monitor may be the kicker to keeping the mic active. This drives me up the wall when Google Meet decides to just default to the closed Macbook next to me instead of my already connected Air Pods when joining work meetings.
Again those are typically for limited runs - for unlimited runs they're surprisingly inexpensive.
Typically these prices are for unlimited print runs as opposed to a run of a 100 or less (which command more money obviously, due to supply). I have a Haring print in my home that was about the same price (I think around $250 in total for print and frame) that's signed by the artist.
Say it out loud - it's a play on words. "You rip a dese trousers, you mend a dese trousers"
What _are_ the best wired cam/local storage solutions today?
One of my favorite cities - went there on my honeymoon in 2019. The river-turned-park is beautiful and the whole old town area of the city is just full of "play". Check out this sweet playground that's actually a giant Gulliver laying down (

If anybody can swing a visit to Valencia - do it. I can't wait to go back some day.
Yeah this is one of those perspective things. I’m on a once-a-month regimen of eyeball injections to stave off macular degeneration. I’d trade it in a heartbeat for allergy-reducing injection. But even my case feels “routine” now.
This is a fascinating thread under this comment. Everyone is keying off of one part of the comment (querier pays) and not the more critical issue IMO - anticipating security and budgeting issues of hosting a real-time API. You suggested an alternative and everyone is pitting the status quo against that alternative instead of maybe looking for other alternatives that help address the issue.
People here clearly don’t like a querier pays model and that’s fine. But should NPS still reinvent the wheel across the SDLC to serve this data? I think there’s a compelling argument in there.
Is that short burst of deodorant actually harmful or do the numbers just go up a lot?
My only problem with Bluey is actually a problem with the Disney+ app on my Vizio TV. The episodes are all fairly short, but then there’s like 5m of credits before the next episode starts and it’s kind of annoying to manually fast forward through them via remote. I often reach for stuff on Netflix just so the next episode will auto play after a few seconds instead of requiring actual manual intervention to keep the little ones out of my hair while making dinner.
No worries - the shots are indeed for MD. I actually don’t have the retinopathy you have, but am unlucky in the eye department in other ways. Retinal detachment was passed to me from my mom, but not sure exact genes in play here.
Heh I feel you on this one - it’s not a fun contest to “win” but I also find the “I have bad eyes” complaints funny when I have had 5 retinal detachment surgeries, leaving one eye completely blind. My good eye has had one RD surgery, glaucoma caused by surgery, cataract surgery, and is now facing macular degeneration. I get monthly eye injections to halt new blood vessels from growing. I basically live at the retinal specialist.
I hope your eye troubles keep at bay for many moons to come!
Self-hosted LLM is really the only way to do this.
If you click on the icon over London, it shows there are 150 there. The global map is 1 invader icon per city tagged, and clicking into a city shows a lot more (and images too!).
I think the parent you’re replying to knows that, they were asking if this was an example of that.
Were your eyes open? Sorry to poke but your original comment paints America as a pendulum when it really isn’t. From someone who’s lived across the Southeast, it’s so weird to read that statement said so confidently when it’s just not true. Plenty of small towns and small cities that aren’t depressing.
From the article: "When the jump seat, a third seat in the cockpit, is occupied, it’s often filled by an off-duty pilot, but the seat can be used by other airline employees or federal safety inspectors."
Maybe these rules will change a bit going forward.
Nice dash - if you don't mind a drive-by recommendation: I use Grafana for work a lot and it's nice to see a table legend with min, max, mean, and last metrics for these kinds of dashboards. Really makes it easy to grok without hovering over data points and guessing.
Not sure it matters much as we’re still clearly in infancy - or maybe toddlerhood is the apt analogy. We’ll see though!
Maybe I’ve been reading about 0days and spyware too much recently, but this just seems like it’s going to speed run privilege escalation.
