Re:Memory Tree Map Visualizer on Tuesday November 03, 2026 @03:13AM (#50349379)
Like WinDirStat/Grand Perspective but for memory. I thought surely something like this would exist but my agents couldn't find one. I was trying to figure out what was chewing through all my RAM, proved pretty useful.

Right now it's mac native, but also has the original python prototype version as well. Could be extended for other platforms.

And of course 100% vibe coded ;)

Re:My daughter (7 years old) used HTML to make a website on Thursday July 18, 2024 @09:06AM (#40995223)
IIRC, that's not necessarily true, some parsers "upgrade" html to xhtml and then process the xhtml since its more regular. html in general is a mess due to backwards compatibility requirements so trying to follow these kind of definitions imo is kinda pointless. you can optimize for size if you want but the decrease from these kind of optimizations with modern speeds is rather minimal

this is what the article talks about, you want to work on things you know are easy, but others think is hard

plus the distinction of using dotted constants makes no sense, that can just mean a variable in another module

Re:Horrifying PDF Experiments on Saturday January 02, 2021 @02:56AM (#25611176)
we had a collection of these internally in the early 2000s using notes, even mandelbrot sets using embedded ps based fonts. a lot of this comes from dynamic form requirements. the JS engine was from the latest mozilla engine for the time when it came out, spidermonkey.

I'd look at the 3D JS API via the JS bridge that I helped write: https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdf...
what if you were to separate the two? Epic creates a token "store" which allows you to apply to various games. This would be like the amazon case =). Same thing could be said if you could buy said tokens in the amazon store

I wrote and use https://github.com/CaliDog/asyncpool (CaliDog graciously created a module of it for me) to solve this issue. Here it is forked on my repo: https://github.com/thehesiod/asyncpool

Re:Is Fry’s Electronics in trouble? on Saturday January 04, 2020 @03:06AM (#21953603)
I was pleasantly surprised by bestbuy for upgrading my desktop recently, good selection and good prices (when matching their online store pricing)...actually I ordered online and picked up there. Then a week later the monitor price dropped and they matched it to the lower price.

I have to say too that the San Jose store has smelled horrid the last year due to what seems like super old carpet smell. If they won't even pay to clean their carpet they don't deserve to be in business.

Re:My Python Development Environment, 2020 Edition on Monday November 11, 2019 @09:22PM (#21510962)
I'd like to use poetry however ran into https://github.com/sdispater/poetry/issues/1554

We have a custom pypi server and need all requests to go through it, however haven't figured a way to make poetry always use our index server for all modules instead of pypi.org

I'd like to see what what prevents double dipping, first report to unethical places, wait a bit, then report to Apple.

Re:The Case of the Broken Lambda on Monday September 24, 2018 @01:33PM (#18059602)
that that's what we do, then upload to codecommit and then do a codebuild which pushes a zip to S3. Theoretically can have it all triggered to do most the work for you.
does it support auto stash/unstash on branch change? That's whats keeping me on the original GitHub Desktop Client
Re:Replacing Disqus with GitHub Comments on Saturday April 22, 2017 @03:44AM (#14171566)
just posted that I found a serious bug in the github comment API last month and to my knowledge this hasn't been fixed yet, or at least their support hasn't acknowledged that it's fixed yet. The bug affects pages with 500+ comments, it will return duplicate comments instead of the unique set of comments. For example if you had comments: [1,2,3,4], it would sometimes return [1,1,3,4].
I did ReLEx SMILE at https://www.smileeyes.de/?L=1 since I didn't want a full flap and didn't want the pain of Epi-LASIK. First run they left some epithelial cells in the pocket which caused astigmatism. They fixed that with a flush. I'm left with some astigmatism of the left eye and overall 20/25 vision. It also took ~1 year to "stabilize" as I was having a lot of spouts of blurriness. Overall liveable but I guess I'd probably do the Epi-LASIK instead and just deal with the week+ of discomfort. I also noticed that I think the lens can still move as if I rub my eyes too much it seems my vision gets blurry but eventually "snaps" back.
