Re:Abusing Talon to use my eye tracker in a project on Wednesday November 20, 2024 @11:23AM (#42195461)
Have you found any solutions that allow for eye tracking across multiple (2-3) monitors? I looked for something a few years ago, but couldn't find anything that worked with more than 1 screen.
Re:Swift *almost* does a cool thing I want on Thursday November 14, 2024 @02:07PM (#42139918)
I think uniplate does what this author wants: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/uniplate

Looks like there's a Rust crate too: https://crates.io/crates/uniplate

I get this too! I have to be really tired, lying down and calm. I always think of it as listening to the noise of my subconscious. Mine isn't continuous, more I can pick up nonsensical phrases every 10-20 seconds. I've never heard of anyone else having this!
That's an option (and probably the default option), but it's also configurable to not do that.
I don't disagree, but it was enough for me to cancel my membership and just move to Apple Music
I no longer trust anything Spotify says after they fought so hard to get support for home pod actions, Apple added those and years later they haven't bothered to implement that OR airplay 2.

I'm quitting Spotify because after all that whining about Apple not playing fair, they haven't implement airplay 2, or siri support on homepods.

Weren't they the first product to ship the small form Toshiba hard drives?

No, it's not. Refcounting CAN be a garbage collection algorithm, but in Swift it's deterministic and done at compile time. Not to mention recently added support for non-copyable types that enforces unique ownership: https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals...
Re:Crafting Self-Evident Code with D on Tuesday October 03, 2023 @01:00PM (#37754560)
Swift doesn't have garbage collection.

I appreciated the Haskell examples, they aren't particularly hard to follow. How do you think those more popular languages got more popular?
Re:Arduino raises $22M Series B round on Thursday September 07, 2023 @03:34PM (#37424413)
and even though it has the capability, they keep refusing to allow a vim mode option.
I'm also curious about this. Spotify has refused to add AirPlay2 to their desktop app for years.

Mouse over the green window button, hold down option and you can maximize, and tile to the left/right of the screen.

This is a weird gate-keeping response.
