Nearly all my hackathon projects were hardware, back in college. A couple examples (both from HackPrinceton, which had the best EE labs): * https://blog.cyrusroshan.com/post/electronic-banjo (crowd favorite) * https:&

This works if you're on call for your systems. In many situations (ranging from small startups to big tech), you're also on-call for the systems of sister teams. Not that there aren't other ways to fix that. But fixing the er

It's quite easy, actually. We did this at work, recently. Bun is two things. Most commonly, it's known for its Node-competitor runtime, which is of course a very invasive change. But it can also be used purely as a package manager

A bit aggressive. No, wouldn't connecting to a slow 3g tower affect ping times to all global servers proportionately? The proposal has other flaws, but phone to tower latency isn't one.

An interpretation that makes sense to me: humans are non-deterministic black boxes already at the core of complex systems. So in that sense, replacing a human with AI is not unreasonable. I’d disagree, though: humans are still easier to pre

In general, the way a walled garden wins is by providing everything its villagers need inside. And Apple’s products seem to create walled gardens in order to prioritize [first creative, then economic] control. Based on the demographic that

This sounds depressing. I’m sorry that you had that experience. It’s a frustrating position to be in, and you can feel quite helpless. In my experience, it’s less about “do only what’s asked”, and rather “say no”. I.e. explain “I can do X,

Go bootstraps itself (Go is compiled by Go) but Gofmt does not format itself (an even simpler job).

Nice find. I think you're right. FWIW, I don't think the code style in [2] is less simple (slightly more readable, to use `if (X) {} else {}` rather than `if (!X) {} else {}`, for example). So to me, this reads as the author of [1

Exactly. I know if medication were to be developed, checking "are GDF15 levels significantly lowered" would be part of the trials. But how often does the medication development process check the result we care about: "does th

Posting a Wikipedia link without commentary or context is essentially a text meme. It doesn’t invite discussion. What are you trying to say? (Not that I disagree with your point, but it’s unclear.)

I tried it out, was enjoyable to play a few puzzles. My feedback is a) that the ring sound (when you win a puzzle) was too loud, so I ended up muting the tab, and b) that the logo looks like "BraiMax", and doesn't stylistical

A little bit about how it works (from their docs)[0]: > AutoAnimate is fundamentally a single function — autoAnimate — that accepts a parent element. Automatic animations will be applied to the parent element and its immediate children.
