Just released this: https://github.com/rlorenzo/deadwood-rs

Since everyone is rewriting everything into Rust I created a tool akin to fallow (https://fallow.tools), but for Rust:

Finds dead code that LLMs leave behind.

That skill has not been updated since its release.

I would suggest checking out this project for a boost in design skills:

For designs, try https://impeccable.style/slop/ to detect AI slop patterns and improve your designs. I found it helpful for critiquing designs, developing a DESIGN.md guide, and iterating on UIs.

I had to break out the paper for 3+ light bulb puzzles.

It would be great to mark which options aren't valid on the website. Maybe a checkbox UI for the more challenging puzzles? Where we can mark a checkbox for entries that aren't the right answer and choose the correct one with the dropdown?

Here's the website with the program. The actual article is behind a paywall.

Is there an RSS feed for the site that anyone can find? https://www.thefarside.com

I wouldn't mind switching to them, but they don't integrate with financial tracking systems like Mint. I find the ability to get a birds eye view of my finances too valuable. Sticking with Ally and their 2% for now. Do wish they integrate with Mint or Personal Capital.

Seems like Mac Minis are the new Xserve: https://www.macstadium.com/

Maybe the next upgrade of the Mac Mini in 4-5 years will be to A series of chips.

This is exactly what I was looking for.

Just wondering, I see the Tax Summary. It seems to be all that I would need to fill out my taxes, right? What does generating the 8949 form give me?

Re:Classroom for GitHub on Tuesday September 22, 2015 @02:40PM (#10260668)
A company that creates discussions boards for courses is already doing that. They are called Piazza (https://piazza.com/) and used the student data they have been collecting to Piazza Careers: https://recruiting.piazza.com/

It has caused some heated discussions at our university regarding student privacy.

Do the Facebook/Twitter mobile apps connect to their servers via SSL? Is this only a problem if you use the web version via your mobile phone?
How is this difference than http://www.pricepinx.com? I currently use this site and it tracks more stores than just Amazon.
Re:Ask HN: Do you face problems with using Google Chrome? on Friday April 29, 2011 @12:52AM (#2496390)
Sometimes when entering a search term in the address bar the "instant search" goes a little crazy and loses half of the text I typed in. Not a big deal, but happens once in a while.
Is there a future plan to maybe provide an option to pay for the ability to host the jooplicate service on our own machines?

I work for a university that still is very hesitant on using cloud services, because they don't want student data going outside our machines.

Re: Google Reader reader? Would you find this service useful? on Wednesday August 11, 2010 @11:49AM (#1595014)
Does this help with buzz updates? It bothers me that if I read buzz updates in gmail that they are still unread in google reader's "friends you follow" and vice versa.
