Lights in games use real electricity :)


Even the stars use real electricity.


Not really, nuclear fusion doesn’t run on electrons.


So where does the magnetic field come from? ;) ;) ;)


Nuclear fusion produces a million times more energy from proton and neutron collisions than is produced by electron shells during the same event.


The energy leaves the star in the form of EM energy. This is also the energy that is responsible for electricity.


Leetcode monkeys with little dev experience will do that.


By compression they mean dynamic range compression, which loudens softer sounds so they are more audible.

Pop songs for example, are heavily compressed because "compressed" music sounds "better" on cheap external speakers with bad dynamic range. Kinda like increasing the saturation on a cheap TFT panel.


It's also useful for cars, which I think is where most radio listening is done, since you may not hear the quiet parts.


Just when it was included in S&P500 :(

This is a small EPUB reader I made that uses the system Webview to render EPUB documents!


This is nice!


Not a good idea for someone with memory loss to use an LLM, especially when they are prone to hallucination!


There are some cheap android phones which come with an IR sensor. But the app for such functionality needs to be custom made.


a person with dementia absolutely will not be able to keep a phone charged


It does work.

Automated builds are here: https://github.com/deevus/zed-windows-builds


Builds are there, but they don't work. At least on my laptop.


Example of an almost instant webpage today: https://www.mcmaster.com/


And users clearly appreciate it. I was going over some bolt types with a design guy at my workplace yesterday for a project and his first instinct is to pull up the McMaster-Carr site to see what was possible. I don't know if we even order from them, since we pass through purchasing folks, but the site is just brilliantly simple and elegant.


Someone did an analysis of that site on tiktok or YouTube. It's using some tricks to speed things up, like preloading the html for the next page on hover and then replacing the shell of the page on click. So pre-rendering and prefetching. Pretty simple to do and effective apparently.



The jokes write themselves!
