Before we can continue with CLion and programming the RP2040, we need to make some more tweaks to the ButtonBox design. Thanks to everyone who suffered with me through the FreeCAD session last night :) The parts printed fine and need only minor fixes. www.youtube.com/@halirutan

Debugging in Zig feels like an afterthought. I spent way too long getting Zig debugging to work in CLion with the ZigBrains plugin on Linux. It works now, but the path there was not exactly smooth. If you’re stuck, ping me. I can probably save you some pain.

@williamvincent.bsky.social just pointed to an article that uncovered that Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without any consent www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-...

If your plugin causes UI freezes for users, you need the right diagnostics to investigate and fix them. The easiest way to collect reports is the JetBrains Marketplace error reporter, but today it does not expose the freeze dumps it already collects. Please upvote the issue in the comment!

New Key Promoter X release: 90,000 downloads in 8 days. 7.5M overall. With all the AI coding hype, I didn’t expect this much demand for learning shortcuts. Turns out many of us are still writing code and want to get better at it. plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9792-...

Not at all. In fact, I hovered over them the first time ever after reading your post.

Lovely video, especially the filters in OBS for enlarging single views. I have an AmScope with a good cam wich only works with the bloated manufacurer's software. So I created a single view app using Raylib that always shows only the microscope image and nothing else.

After a discussion about how best to get the view of my Siglent oscilloscope into OBS, I didn't want to accept that the browser is the only option. It turns out you can use a WebSocket connection to access the RFB data directly. That means, you can implement an oscilloscope viewer natively :)

Delivered in just one day by Batronix.com and I'm happy like a little kid. I unpacked it, and if I turn it on now, I know exactly what will happen for the next couple of hours... Thanks @f15y.com for the tips and the handholding.

I did a similar thing some while ago. All that was filled with books before, but the books had to go elsewhere. I never regretted this step, and the microscope was already helpful so many times. However, I'm still missing a good oscilloscope. Any tips on this?

The best side projects come from your kids asking, "How does this work?" Some time ago, I showed them that viral "squint to see Jesus" image. I sat down and wrote a Stable Diffusion pipeline with a control net in Python. Here's the YouTube Short: youtube.com/shorts/DLQ9C...

Day 1 of the Advent of Code puzzles is a fine opportunity to revisit the various definitions of the modulo operation and, specifically, how to calculate its zeros within an interval.

If you don't own a Google Pixel 4a phone, you may have missed the whole debacle around Google pushing a SOFTWARE update that crippled their phones. Tonight, I replaced the battery. The surgery went well, and the patient is alive and well. 2 more to go... www.androidauthority.com/pixel-4a-bat...

Profiling the GPU memory usage of your PyTorch algorithm looks quite nice. I should sell it as abstract art...
