My daughter and I vibe-coded a little cat game. We used vscode + copilot + Sonnet 4. Graphics were from ChatGPT. My daughter made the music in Garage Band.
What was interesting and fun about this project was that we still had to think hard about what we wanted the game to be. We had to break that into sub-pieces that combined into a coherent whole and we had to learn how to describe each piece's rules in exhausting detail.
The longer I’m in this business, the more I’m convinced that engineering “success“ is less about being “successful“ and more about maintaining the discipline to only try to solve problems you’ve ACTUALLY got, rather than those that an entire industry of vendor marketing tells you that you have

What problem might have stalled the project? We looked inside the disassembled motor ourselves and didn't see any obvious signs of damage.
@MLE_online cleaned it up, put it back together (missing hardware was apparently commodity 1/4"-20 or close enough), and gave it 110V AC. It spun up unloaded, so at least there's that.
The internal design was unfamiliar. Its nameplate led us to Wikipedia explanation of how such "repulsion start" motor worked.
This beast weighed about 53 lbs (24 kg) yet output a mere 1/2 horsepower. Technology has come a long way since.

Do you still buy paper books for technical books? (boost for wider range)

So. If you buy a 1:1 balun on AliExpress for peanuts, you woldn't expect something excellent, but you would not expect this mess.
And yes, it is shorted on all contacts.
I've got no idea what one is supposed to look like, but my daughter asked for my help to build one.
So what are the do's and dont's of webcomics? Show me what I'm supposed to strive for.
I'll be using WordPress with whatever custom code I need to make.

@effies I may be in your neck of the woods in early August!

I have done the update dance to keep Google Play happy again for my Auto Web Launcher app. A full screen web browser that will launch on Android startup, useful for wall mounted tablets as dashboards.

Also added support for not validating HTTPS certificates
EDIT: v1.3.2 has all the new good stuff, will be available when Google have had a good look...
They forgot tvOS for beta 3 😂
Apple TV sure does remain a product in their lineup, huh?
Hilariously, if you search on here for “tvOS” you get a bunch of news articles claiming they did in fact release tvOS beta 3 with some fluff about what’s supposedly in it.
Good way to out tech “news” sites pushing AI-generated articles, I guess

iPadOS 26 beta 1: tapping outside Control Center both closes control center and does a thing in the app where you tapped. Closing Control Center is now a risky move.
beta 2: tapping outside Control Center closes Control Center.
beta 3: all taps outside Control Center are ignored by the OS. You keep trying & eventually resort to force restarting your iPad. Curious types might keep experimenting and find that there’s a tiny strip along the edge of Control Center that you can tap to close it
I don’t even understand why they would want to change this. The beta 2 behavior (same as iPadOS 18) is the only reasonable one.
Oh hey! Elements of Programming is now free because their publisher decided to stop printing them.
This is exciting and if you want to get an incredible introduction to type theory from first principles it's one of my more favorite texts on the subject. It does use C++ as it's reference language but you don't really need to know very much C++ in order to appreciate the text. IIRC it introduces what you need to know as it uses various features.
This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.
Hello Lurk and Mastodon.
We take advantage of this first post to introduce the collective.
BBB is a group of 20 people based in Belgium and France.
We will post mainly in French, sometimes in English or both.
BBB n’a pas pour seul but le dessin de caractères mais, plus largement, d’alimenter le débat sur la charge politique du design graphique, du langage, des représentations des corps et des identités. La collective Bye Bye Binary adopte une position de recherche militante et communautaire, c’est-à-dire par et avec des personnes concernées, à travers un prisme féministe, queer, trans*, pédé·e, bi·e, gouin·e.
In their researchs, BBB dig and twist standards, question licenses and the smoothness of our digital interfaces.
We will post here mainly about our researchs, events and publications.

According to a new report by those hippies at Morgan Stanley, in the past year 55% of North American companies have experienced a #ClimateChange related event that impacted their operations or business. That's a lot!
Imagine paying $80 for a game only for the publisher to disable your ability to play it. Game companies claim they deserve the right to do this to you. But you can stop them. #StopKillingGames

Israel bombed an Evin, an Iranian prison that housed dissidents and political prisoners. They ended up destroying the trans wing and murdering over 100 trans people incarcerated there, many for simply being queer in Iran. This is unspeakable evil. …

I wouldn't be surprised if Israel did this intentionally. One of the best intelligence agencies in the world and they didn't know what prison wing they were bombing? Of course they did. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
Happy Monday folks! How's your day been? Mondays are my day off spent mine catching up on chores. Can't believe we're a week into July already! Last week went by in a flash, but the highlight was spending 20 mins relaxing in the evening sun with this gorgeous chap (while my other gorgeous chap was doing a run); I could have stayed there for hours 🧡
Everyone stop, this is important
