> But being able to pull if off implies an ability to do a lot more interesting things.

Those interesting things won't pump up the perceived value of Musk companies to stratospheric levels - or dare I say - to the moon. He needs the public to believe that to earn the trillion-dollar package from the Tesla-Twitter-SpaceX conglomerate, even if the latter turns out to be the only profitable arm of the conglomerate.

I have a simpler problem - I want a yearly calendar app (for Android) that just shows the yearly calendar (for any year), nothing else (no events, no reminders, no anything).

Any app I find seems to disappear from the Play Store after a couple years.

Bonus: show the weeks vertically.

Probably, the reason they disappear is that this is the sort of "finished software" that Google makes it very infuriating to keep on the store. On Android you can build an APK like this and it will literally work unmodified for a decade. Google can't stand that and makes you make changes to keep up with shifting policies.

I think this is the perfect application of a micro payment service. Each PR must be signed with a nominal amount of money, say $0.15 give or take. You send in a commit, with no expectation to get it back.

I think this idea doesn't go far enough. If it's money that's motivating slop, fine - let's make it about money. $50 to submit a bug report. If it's legitimate, we send you back $60; the judgement is on the curl maintainers' honor. If it wastes time, well, at least the curl maintainer gets a steak dinner.

Beautiful hardware. If they'd commit to GrapheneOS's hardware requirements https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices, I'd preorder... I'm stuck on Pixels because Graphene is so nice.

Most people implement them now in my field using mmap tricks so the CPU can do the wraparound for you in virtual memory.

Makes the code trivial

thrtythreeforty · 2 months ago
Not only that, but you can also always form a normal (ptr, size) slice reference to any piece of the ring buffer, even when it wraps. This is really helpful for Eigen arrays that you need to rotate.

I have an electric car and if I want to remotely turn on charging, it won’t allow me unless the full data sharing option is enabled. Full data as in your driving data like a black box logger. I then have to go in the car, enable it, then I can remotely turn on charging. I have to remember to opt-out again later. Ironic I know because I can turn on charging from within the cabin without having to enable any of the data collection. What an inconvenient experience.

The cursedness of "€:\" is awesome. It's amazing how much more flexible the NT kernel is vs what's exposed to the user.

Why use this piano-roll visualization rather than just color coding notes on sheet music? You lose a lot of other information in the process (like, almost all of it).

You're very close to Aikin shape note heads! These help sight-read in any key, since they're always shaped according to whatever the relative major is, and so it's easy to learn the intervals between any two shapes.

This is great. Missed opportunity for a low-pass RC filter on the speaker circuit - if you know you're driving an 8kHz sample rate, you can design your filter with that cutoff, and it'll sound way better (it'll get rid of the buzzy quality).
