- janfoehThey would still need other sensors if omitting the camera, alongside a slew of other safety systems: https://single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu/document/download... . Curious.
- It is a commonly used abbreviation for "the f...ine article". On discussion sites of the Internet of yore, people would tell you to RTFA — "read the fucking article" — when it appeared you were chiming in without having first read the item under discussion. This is an extraction from that.
- I discovered Ruby (through Rails) about twenty years ago on the dot. Coming from Perl and PHP it took me a while, but I remember the moment when I had the same realisation you did.
I still love this language to bits, and it was fun to relive that moment vicariously through someone elses eyes. Thanks for writing it up!
- While I am not interested for the same reasons many others have stated here, I would like to point out that their privacy policy is exemplary:
> Helium does not make any network requests, including to the Services, unless such requests are the result of user actions (for example, visiting a website or installing an extension) or are part of features that the user has explicitly enabled or configured during setup. If Helium is making any network requests without your consent, please file a bug report.
Gold standard.
- Hey, some of us use these things exactly like that. I have an Asus ROG Ally, which runs steamOS and never leaves its dock, KB+M and monitor.
I would have gotten a mini PC, but strangely enough the Ally was the cheapest steamOS-compatible option I could find.
- Apple stole my entire music library. I have had one library going back to the first release of iTunes on Windows (2003?) — thousands of songs, most of them CD rips.
I then subscribed to Apple Music and relied on its matching function. After switching from an Intel Mac to an M2 and redownloading my library from remote, it now believes that each and every song in my library are rented Apple Music copies. Even those it shows as having been added in 2003.
Some songs are missing; some go missing, then inexplicably come back months later. Worse: so far I have found around a dozen which have been replaced by different versions.
It's a real mess.
- In recent years, a sizeable amount of people has begun to end questions in regular discussions — such as for recommendations — with the current year, as in which framework should I choose for X in 2025?. Presumably due to SEO filth and its effects on Google.
> I seem to have missed the memo that we're primarily writing for AIs now.
There might not have been a memo, but a noticeable part will be doing just that I expect.
- "Programming Ruby" [0] ("the pickaxe book") and "Agile Web Development with Rails" [1], both from Pragmatic Programmers.
I learned Ruby and Rails through them in the late 2000's; they are still being released as new editions. It has been a while since I bought new books from PragProg, but they used to have a recurring sale of ~40% off around late autumn (thanksgiving?).

- Between 2:07 and 2:08, the guy on the right loses his glasses. Over the course of a couple frames, they just fade into nothingness.
- Indeed, all you can do is learn and memorise what they represent. But a square filled with a solid color can do the same ("yellow is the hard disk thingy"), and that would actually be more glanceable and quicker to distinguish.
If your icon loses to a yellow cube, it is not a good icon.
- Different German: it is hazy, but I believe I started out with block/print letters in pre-school, and then "graduated" in some early class to cursive.
Print was more seen as a stepping stone, a teaching aide, something to be eventually superseded.
- I would like to second this — this is extremely well done, and a joy to play with.
Top-notch work, all around!
- This is a nice idea; I am just not keen on having to host a nodejs server.
Now I am wondering whether the same thing could be achieved with just nginx & WebDAV?
- Interesting! I spent a lot of time on both Test Drive II on the ST and the original Need For Speed on the 3DO — I never knew Pioneer made both.
- No, I'm on macOS — Sonoma though. Interestingly, MDN lists no support for any version: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/... — apparently the table is outdated.
- Just a heads-up: it's broken in Safari, because the app-*.js is served with Content-Encoding: zstd, which Safari doesn't support.
- Pity - thank you!
- I know nothing about US 240V power circuits — what plugs do you use, could you get by with a Euro system?
I use Eve Energy smart plugs, which seems to be supported in Home Assistant through the matter integration. Local first, no bullshit remote account requirements, good quality, around 40€ / USD 45.
- Maybe you did, maybe you didn't. If you did, then maybe you did not do a very good job of communicating that? I mean, until telepathy over TCP finally arrives, all we have to go on is basically ASCII.
> You must think other people are deeply, abysmally, troglodytically stupid if you thought one could make that comment without self-awareness.
I suspect you inhabit a different part of the Internet than me. I envy you.
