I guess you could say: ”That’s exactly what a programmer would say”, but for me what’s most transformative about #ai#machinelearning is not really it’s abilities to reassemble information.
I'm trying out https://runjs.app for prototyping js/node.js snippets locally.
Creating a new node project every time I just want to run a quick node.js snippet is just too time consuming.
Interested in any suggestions of similar tools js devs recommend. I know repl.it is another option, but running locally is a requirement for me. #js#webdev#node#tools
We're an independent, community-focused organization that wants to figure out how to keep #Flickr around for 100 years, preserving our shared visual #commons for future generations.
There should be an IDE for writers (novelists, journalists, bloggers, etc). I’m imagining something that feels like PhpStorm, but would check grammar and readability, cross reference with specific data sources, and other Writer-y type tasks.
Another half forgotten thing done: Crosscut sled for the table saw.
Some floorboard offcuts, two carefully whittled strips for the tracks, a bit of glue to keep them in place before also screwing them on. And two bridges, of course.
Need to find an old candle to rub on the bottom, but test cuts work well enough already.
Not wiggling, but we'll see how the wooden strips do over time - the workshop is a bit drafty and they might shrink/expand.
Tom Ryder @tejr published a series of posts on using Unix as an Integrated Development Environment in the terminal:
"The primary rationale for using an IDE is that it gathers all your tools in the same place, and you can use them in concert with roughly the same user interface paradigm, and without having to exert too much effort to make separate applications cooperate."
It's really been irking me that our schools seem so keen on using Big Tech, US-based services such as Seesaw and ClassDojo for teacher-parent communication.
I was wondering whether there is any privacy preserving, free (as in open source) tool for this around that one knows?
Maybe @lightweight or @nzoss may know some? It'd be grand if people could pitch in to co-fund the hosting of that type of service for NZ.
I've DEFINITELY said to people over the years "You can never have enough tweezers"... I am starting to doubt this.. I'm getting to the point I may have enough! #Tools
Gestern gab's an anderer Stelle wieder eine ausgiebige Diskussion über #Mastodon, mit nachvollziehbaren Vor- und Nachteilen dieser Plattform.
Ich tue mich allerdings schwer damit, dass Menschen mittlerweile weniger die Motivation haben, sich in neue Dinge hineinzudenken. Es fühlt sich fast wie eine Anti-Haltung an.
Twitter & Co. zeigen, dass wir sensibler mit #Tools umgehen sollten und unsere #Medienkompetenz sollte nicht schon bei der Registrierung auf Instagram ausgeschöpft sein (1/2)
3D illustration for a 2006 issue of the Dutch ComputerTotaal magazine, about the SABNZBD tool, which was (is?) much-used for concatenating multi-part downloads from Usenet newsgroups.
So far quite happy with my purchase. Didn't get as lucky as that reviewer, pretty much everything needed calibrating, but everything has calibration screws so that's totally fine.
The mitre gauge isn't great, but usable (plus I have a mitre saw, so it probably won't see much use anyways). The fence is great, no wobble and accurate enough to use for measuring cuts.
"In the #goldboot approach, you choose a starting template containing an absolutely minimal install of your favorite OS. Then you create provisioners which are the scripts that add all of your customizations on top of the template. From these pieces, goldboot builds a machine image ready to be deployed to real hardware."
Wow, this transcription service is pretty cool. Danish developers who work for a Danish newspaper built it, mostly for journalists but I've found it useful for personal use too. There's a free plan with no credit card required, for up to 3 transcriptions per month.
