In Ruby, chat = RubyLLM.chat is a method call since Ruby doesn't have properties, only methods. Dropping parentheses is standard Ruby style, familiar to Ruby developers. While adding parentheses is allowed, it doesn't match Ruby's readability. The library aims for a clean style consistent with Ruby conventions.

Yeah, I ditched the Hue Hub last year and paired them all directly with Home Assistant via Zigbee

Glad it wasn't just me. I found them challenging to grok due to their complexity and lack of clarity in key aspects such as movement, grid layout, and strategic objectives.

*The fact that the pencil symbol controls the number of moves per turns, which was 3 by default, confused my learning process for a good 10 minutes as I had no idea what was going on.

Yep, after dealing with all the frustration of "high efficiency" washing machines that would constantly have error codes mid cycle, not wash clothes well, etc. I ended up paying more for a Speed Queen. It uses traditional technology without complex electronics that ensures simplicity, longevity, and ease of use.

While it's tempting to see free will as self-evident, scientific evidence suggests that our actions are determined by a complex interplay of genetics, environment, and prior experiences. Dismissing this perspective as edgy or hubristic risks ignoring important insights into human behavior. Recognizing the absence of free will can foster empathy and compassion, as we become more aware of the factors that contribute to human choices and behaviors.

As a longtime pocketknife enthusiast one search criteria I would love to see is a way to filter by rear flipper, thumbstud or thumb hole opener. I spent an hour last week trying to find a Kershaw that doesn't have a rear flipper tab as they tend to open in my pocket. It seems like almost all their models lately have rear flipper tabs but I would prefer a thumbstud.

After over 45 minutes https://status.aws.amazon.com/ now shows "AWS Management Console - Increased Error Rates"

I guess 100% is technically an increase.

technically not the exact word but malware is just a portmanteau for "malicious software", which is in the screenshot

Some of the larger website builders/hosting , e.g. Wix don’t even give you access to server logs.

Sure you can setup and run your own site and CMS easily enough, but running even hourly bulk log ingestion is usually not as straight forward and the information you can derive is very limited comparative to js based tracking.

Matamo ( formerly Piwik) is decent but still takes some time to setup and get right.

The main thing that the analytics tells you if you are promoting anything, is which of those promotions is actually working and driving visitors to your site.

If you are using Gmail/G-Suite I would check out either https://mailplaneapp.com/ or https://www.kiwiforgmail.com/. Both are decent native Mac app wrappers for the Gmail/G-Suite web client.

The difference is all of those supercomputers, machine learning algorithms and engineers on the other side of the screen working with massive amounts of data points about every single interaction across networks and applications tuned down to the individual level. Never before in history has this been possible.

I went to install it and it seems to be forcing me to download another full Android SDK to a private location without the option the specifying the existing Android SDK location that I already have set up. A quick search show this as an open issue that is 5 years old https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=859

I lost interest already.

Same thing happened to me with macOS Sierra, but it started working after installing the latest Fuse and then rebooting.

What are you using to parse and resolve location? There doesn't seem to be a suggested format for a github profile and myself, like many other people in the US just put in a State abbreviation or City name which has DC in Van, Turkey.

Wow, just looked in there and found a message from an old close high school friend's mother. My friend had passed away many years ago and haven't talked to his parents for 20 years. We were best friends at the time and I was very close to his parents. I had no idea that those messages existed.

Yeah, Same situation here. Set up my family and one for my in-laws, and a few others. Not worth $50 a month per family member.

I guess everyone has their own mental picture of what spaghetti code is. Mine refers specifically to the old days of the early web when html and code where so heavily intertwined that is was impossible to determine what was code and what was markup. Flashbacks of enormous pages of string concatenation with with tons of escaping where the layout of the html page dictated the flow of the code. Fun times.

The biggest problem for me is the uncertainty and inconsistency. Do you always remember the previous screen you were on in any app hours ago? What if you got to the song from some other screen? I would constantly have to "guess", what is this app going to do, take me back to where I previously was or to a higher level in the app. It needs to be consistant, back is back and navigating within the app needs to be obvious and on the UI itself.
