I spent the weekend really nailing down my usage of my claude.ai Max plan such that claude creates systems and documentation in a way strongly aligning with my own tastes and inclinations.And as a father of one quite autistic child, and likely being somewhat on the spectrum myself, my communication with the children involves a lot of absurd humor.Has anyone thought really hard about whether we...
One rule I like, is to ensure that, as well as validation, all validated information is dumped in a convenient format prior to running the rest of the script.
This is super helpful, assuming that some downstream process will need pathnames, or some other detail of the process just executed.

Not got an X4 yet, but from the link above, it should be about 50% faster than the EliteBook, which in turn is 50% faster than the X2L / Palmshell.

wife: "(sternly) The rat was *totally* to blame!"
They are such little characters, full of so much love and joy.
Just the short lifespan is the biggest downside. :(
* Pudding rat plans escapes to the top of the habitat, whenever the door is open,
* Rats are super trainable, and will speculative do tricks for treats (ours get gerber baby puffs, or rice krispies for spinning, going through a hoop, shaking hands etc.)
* Pie rat likes loose clothing and will run into sleeves, pants, and general enjoy herself,
* Rats also love certain styles of place, depending on the rat, and will happily just chill on your shoulder, or against your tummy, or under an arm and nibble a treat,
* Crumble rat is the baby, and more timid, less curious, and prefers to hide, but will run around and climb on the humans if her sisters are doing it.
I've not ever noticed them dreaming as ours prefer to snuggle in a hammock, with some rags pulled down, but they clearly have goals, and imagination, not just 'behavior'.
Rat's aren't dogs, but a few rats can make a wonderful replacement if you're somewhere where larger pets aren't permitted.
I suggest to look up his trip up from Mexico, following the migrant route. For a different view of the same trip, his travelling companion (automous something) has his own channel.
RanOutOnARail isn't really a hobo though ... I think he's a software engineer in Texas somewhere.
Hobo Shoestring has an interesting channel also, albeit with a home base. You'll learn a lot about trains, and hobos' most hated adversaries, the 'homebums'. :D
And of course, there's a 10x hobo, in stobe-the-hobo (RIP), well worth watching all his videos.
The hot soapy water washes away the structue of the nest, and quickly kills the inhabitants, whilst not damaging my lawn, or having slow acting insecticides hurting my animals and getting into the wider food chain.

I made a tiny utility to be able to adjust sound, brightness, gamma etc., from the terminal.In the file ~/.adjustments, just add a name for the thing you want to control, then low high step and initial values, can be decimal, and then a line with the command you want to execute, with a single '%' being replaced with the value.Hit 'q' to finish.It's super handy to have ← → cursor keys to adjust...

Like others, I'm waiting for this to come to a spectacles / sunglasses formfactor. An external box would be fine, I just wouldn't be able to bear wearing what looks like metal ski-goggles for any significant period of time.
On a script-related note, I spent a bunch of time back in the day reading through these:

OMG That's awesome!
They used to crop up on craigslist occasionally for $100-$200. not checked in a while.
I think it was Ygdrassil, or maybe a free distro off of a CD. Great investment of time as it got me into the oilfield doing tech support. Running Rocky 8 on a P1 Gen4 now, so come a long way from my 486/Dx2.
Not exactly what was being asked for, but a weird old fact I'd forgotten about.
Note that each picture is scanned simultaneously, and contributes to whether 0 - 5 holes are made in the tape.
At the receiving end, the number of holes controls the brightness of the beam reconstructing the image.

https://ehmorris.com/lander/Last couple jobs have been heavily legacy C++ in the energy sector.
Lots of maintenance, but also opportunities to overhaul and build new objects.
Funnest project right now is porting some supercool Science code to cuda and getting about a 30x speed up.
In a sense, Marketplace is the new Facebook. A buddy is just swinging by with some Rx-7 TII brakes for my NA. We have been trading parts for the last couple years.
I was at a car show yesterday, who did I know, Facebook buds.
As primarily a maintenance programmer by inclination, I'd not ever given the possibility of self-employment a thought.
However, if you need to be paid, you need to create value. So the answer to your question is to find someone to pay you to fix bugs in software that 1) they use and depend on, that may not be well-maintained, 2) that you have the source and all dependencies for, and 3) that they would trust your expertise in understanding their requirements whilst being at 'arms-length'.
To be honest, it sounds a bit difficult, but you might try looking for support / developer roles. These are often unpopular with developers that want to do the new shiny, but there's lots of $$$ in keeping existing software working with updated APIs, fixing bugs etc.
Or you could be a framework evangelist / fixer on site. That largely matches my current role, where my job is to ensure that a large customer is happy, and utilizing our framework-type software to it's best advantage.
