I hung up a maple 1x6.

The left side has an attached ruler with both metric and ft/in.

The right side has large vinyl numbers for feet (mainly just to look nice).

In between the heights are marked with multicolored Sharpies indicating who is measured and the month/year.

If you haven't seen it, Ex Machina (2014) fits the vibe of your list. It's one of my favorites.

the AI that wrote the article

The linked article is by Dan Goodin from Ars Technica. He's not immune to mistakes, but he's been writing good articles about security for years.

Can we please not accuse everybody of being AI just because they made a mistake?

Logseq has an Android app and clients for the usual desktop platforms. It stores as .md files. It meets your requirements. I'm not sure why you're focused on Firefox support?

One I have my eye on is Silverbullet.md. the creator recently promoted it here and it has some nice ideas. It's a web app that you self host. Behind the scenes everything is stored in .md files.

This is very cool, and I've been watching the project for a month or so.

I like the query setup and the templates look very interesting. One of my biggest complaints about Logseq is how much of a pain simple query operations can be.

A few things make me hesitate a bit:

  • I've been burned on single-dev passion projects in the past.
  • As a self hosted web app, it's a bit more difficult to manage on a company owned machine. I know Electron apps get hate, but that would ease some pain here.
  • The rapid pace of development is both exciting and worrisome. For example, a recent update completely changed the underlying templating engine from a well-known open source solution to a custom solution. I worry if I rely on this, something might catch me by surprise.

What are your thoughts on those concerns, OP?

Regret:

  • Not taking care of my health. Too much sitting in front of a computer, not enough walking around. Too much junk food.
  • Not keeping track of people after leaving their immediate circle (team changes, company changes, leaving college, etc.). Literally every opportunity I've had has come from somebody I know, yet I've done a poor job of keeping a network socially. It's not that hard to chat with people every few months, but I didn't initially put enough effort into it.

Happy:

  • For me specifically, staying at my first job for a long time was really good. It helped me grow, and the company was pretty good with salary increases.
  • In contrast to my regret, I did a good job of making friends with teammates and getting along with people I work with the most.

tl;dr: The right people, the right exercises, the right atmosphere.

I started by sitting down to a pair programming session with a member of the team that was hiring. We did some minor work directly in their code base, and he showed me some of the interesting things in their stack. It was great.

Then we had a panel interview with other team members and the CTO (not a giant company, but there's over 1500 employees, so I was impressed.) We discussed some of my previous work, the designs involved, tradeoffs, etc. There were a couple white-boarding conversations. We talked about leadership and various people topics.

Then most of the panel and my referrer took me out to lunch, and we had a good informal chat.

Finally, we went back and I did another pair programming session with a different member of the team where we did code kata problems for a while. We discussed pros and cons of pair programming and mob programming.

Why did I like this so much?

  1. The two programming sections were with senior developers on the team they were hiring for. Also, pair programming is great because you see how somebody collaborates as well as how they can solve problems.
  2. The panel mostly consisted of people I would be working directly with. The questions in the panel were very relevant and you could tell they were looking for my strengths.
  3. The atmosphere in general was great.
  4. What I saw of their codebase looked really good.

I was very impressed with this company. They made a competitive offer. I ended up declining, mostly for external reasons like a long commute, but I still wonder to this day if I should have given it a shot.

I think it's because Jellyfin still needs some polish.

It's getting better every day, though. I run both in parallel and usually use Jellyfin, but my family uses Plex for now.

Honestly, I've been thinking about contributing for a while. This is the push I needed. I'll check it out!

Unfortunately, no, you just need training data on children in general and training data with legal porn, and these tools can combine it.

It's already being done, which is disgusting but not surprising.

People have worried about this for a long time. I remember a subplot of a sci-fi series that got into this. (I think it was The Lost Fleet, 15 years ago).

A few I haven't seen mentioned:

  • Moon+ Reader - My favorite ebook reader of all time.
  • Tea Time - Simple timer widgets
  • Simple Time Tracker - Track what you do
  • NES.emu, Snes9x EX+, M64+ FZ - Emulators
  • Thunder - Lemmy
  • Root Explorer - file explorer
  • Lichess - Chess, free of ads, no fees. Almost entirely FOSS.

Also +1 to the usual favorites: Firefox, Termux, Nova, etc.

This is 3mm cast acrylic.

The design started with CardBox from Boxes.py

I made a few modifications, such as improving the lid design and adding holes to make it easier to access cards.

Even after all of these years, the intro still impresses me every time I listen to it.
