I have had a daisy wheel printer project on the back burner for a while. They where never sold much where I live or are just very difficult to come by in usable condition. Figured it would be doable to create with a 3d printer and some simp

I used to print a lot of code from Geany, that has some nice support for printing line numbers and code highlights that I have a hard time replicating in other tools.

There is a reason why Snowden cuts the internal microphones and cameras out of his mobile phones. I suppose you can permanently turn off the TV's microphone(or microphones) in the same fashion.

Actually LG is not just a large corporation or even a oligarch, it is one of the major south korean chaebol groups and therefore has way more power in the legal and political space.

The problem is the ToS can be overruled by the law. But you can still put wild stuff in there without consequence, it just won't hold up in court of course. However this makes it so that companies use the ToS as a scare tactic to deter

The invention of photography had a major impact on painting. In the decades after the first photograph was produced in 1829, photographic processes improved and became more widely practiced, depriving painting of much of its hist

Sure but I assume they can find money in other things also and will probably be attracted to that just as much. For example prompt crafting may be their new home.

you are referring to Johannes Vermeer? Indeed that is one theory. He was also a master at his craft so this is exactly the transition period where the master of the old method is able to adapt a technology in a way later pupils likely can n

I am (still) not a proponent for AI, however I hope AI might do to programming what the camera did to painting, and I hope that will be a good thing. What we understand as painting today is very different then what painting meant pre-camera

Sure but most day to day professional photos are not shot because the subject is so interesting or the composition is so intriguing. They are shot to accompany a flyer, sell a product or to give a grandchild picture to their grandparents, o

I suppose one other industry interested in this information is the bounty hunter industry (bail enforcement). I believe there are several platforms for licensed bounty hunters where they can receive this and similar information about a pers

However you can implement it. There are several options but probably you'll want to do it server side since I believe most bots don't run javascript. If you search there are ways to implement something similar in nginx using modul

How did you spin up the self-hosted instance? Seems the self-hosting documentation is a bit... lacking. Both "self-hosting" buttons on the main page send me to "#". It seems interesting, even though I'm more of the

This is funny since they are literally using "Easy Anti Cheat" and that fully supports Linux. From what I understand Easy Anti Cheat, makes it very easy for developers to run on Linux, basically it is a compile setting to support

I suppose the author is pointing at the fact that coding != programming. The term "programming" is wider applicable than just in relation with computers. Though I don't quite agree with the analogy. To me it seems more like t

This is great! Allowing anyone to program like it is the 1980s and bring them back to their hardware somewhat. I think it will also find it's way to the permacomputing crowd since UEFI is so ubiquitous these days it may be a good platf

I find that this quote is not just applicable to writing of natural language like letters. It also applies to code, and is becoming more and more evident to me due to the use of AI. I believe the idea presented transcends writing actually.
