Whats with that demo. On mobile every button just drops the bird and ends the game.
Have you played flappy bird before? You keep pressing the button to get it to flap and stay aloft.

When I was a kid I always wondered why Dr. Sattler had to manually prime/charge the breaker before enabling it. Apparently it is because that model (and others like it) use a spring to quickly close the circuit. When she is priming it puts tension into the spring, and when she presses the button it quickly releases and completes the circuit. This is done to prevent arc flashes due to the high voltage and amperage, since the coiled spring snapping into place can complete the circuit much faster than any human pulling a lever could.
> it puts tension into the spring
Well it certainly put tension into the scene! Thanks.
Is there guaranteed to be a solution that encloses the cherry? Is Day 8 the first day to have a cherry?
The Verge's article here is the least compelling. They report it with the same confidence and style as their original article when the Reddit post first made waves.
I recommend reading https://www.platformer.news/fake-uber-eats-whisleblower-hoax... instead. It offers better reasoning, and an honest reflection about how close they were to getting taken in by the original Reddit post.
If I remember that right. It is not that easy to get into the state school in our state. UW engineering departments required GPA 4.0 last year. Kids who had GPA 3.9 or less had 0 chances getting into the UW engineering schools.
That is probably not true if you are transferring from a community college after two years. It's entering as a freshman direct from high school that has all the barriers.

People in the ADHD community are outspoken about a tangential concept: cleaning. Cleaning your friends place is a fun, novel, non-emotional activity. Cleaning your own space is a mental slog, boring and often painful due to having to rid yourself of mementos.
In that case, my theory is that you get to shed your learned helplessness about how things look. I suspect it’s similar with giving advice.
A line I always remember (from Babylon 5) is: "When I clean my place, all I've done is clean my place. But when I help you clean your place, I'm _helping you_."
tl;dr you should ask your badass partner for strategic help when the entire galaxy is under threat, even if she seems busy.

I figured it would be something like this. And vectors as rows in a regular table would be too slow then?
sqlite does not have native support for a vector-like column type. Extensions like this and sqlite-vec build on the BLOB column type, and provide additional functions to let you efficiently search and manipulate this vector data.
How much is the generous free tier? I couldn't find it in the website.
I believe it's free.

It's been really fun following the development of this, Miguel et al have been really open about the design process. A really cool journey for both the UX and the backend. I recommend reading through past blogs if you're interested in Godot or SwiftUI.
Congrats folks!
Is this an April Fools leftover?..
