I just had mine arrive yesterday!

I have one of these

I'm using ch57x-keyboard-tool to configure it, because I don't fancy running some random closed-source Chinese code (the manual links to a file on Google Drive). It also means I can move over my config when I switch to Linux.

I have two keys for switching between headphones and speakers, and some set up for shortcuts I forget (like ctrl-shift-e for the network monitor in Firefox). One key types "hello" just because I can.

I've got the large knob controlling volume, and I can click it to toggle mute. The other two are currently set to scroll, but I don't need that as my mouse has better ergonomics for scrolling.

I still have plenty of unused keys and it's got three layers so I won't be running out in the foreseeable future.

The Phoronix comments are notoriously toxic - I went to the article mostly to witness the incoherent rage in the comments and wasn't too disappointed.

I disagree, they have it working on the nRF52840 (which is new and supports new things like NFC and Thread/Zigbee). This means people can start developing features against that chipset.

Hardware doesn't mean "production-ready model".

I've coded in some esolangs, but never one that's nondeterministic - seems a nightmare! The design has the hottest paths most likely to degrade so I guess the idea is to have redundancy in your code?

The simple hello-world example is already 2002 lines long, so "production-ready" Furchtbar must be enormous.

This isn't a million miles from what bitcoin mining does, although in that case they're trying to find hashes that start with a lot of zeroes.

The uncropped version makes it a bit clearer:

It's also clearer that it's from an AI.

I just saw the top two thirds, and had to scroll to see the punchline and the comm - what a pleasant surprise! For me, it's the 3DO but that's too niche for most.

DFRA

That doesn't work, though.

For a recursive acronym, you want something like ADFRA Didn't Forget Recursive Acronyms.

All the studies I've seen say the world is safer than ever for kids, but parents seem to live in fear.

My childhood memories were parents saying "don't come back until it's dark", and summers full of building dens, getting stung by nettles and sleeping well. "In my day" vibes, I know, but hopefully there's still a silent majority of parents that give their kids this freedom and these articles are overblown.

Is this a joke? This is surely worse than using semvar.

It's a blue screen that's shown because something has died, I think it's a perfect fit.

I was going to post this myself, but you beat me to it. Great video.

date-fns? It's third in my search results but doesn't ring any bells to me.

I'll be very happy to not have to use Date any more. Pop quiz, what's in whatnum?

 js

    
const vday = new Date('14 February 2025');
const whatnum = vday.getDay() - vday.getMonth();

  

Err, it's 5... Ha, amazing; that's not even the gotcha I meant to demonstrate. getDay returns the day of the week, the day of the month is returned from getDate.

Take two:

 js

    
const vday = new Date('14 February 2025');
const whatnum = vday.getDate() - vday.getMonth();

  

So this is 14 - 2 = 12, right? Nope! The day (from getDate) is 1-based whereas month is 0-based, so 14 - 1 = 13.

Yeah, worth a read; it’s fun.

Rating: 1.5/5

That rating doesn't seem to match the rest of the review.

the neater and more consistent your handwriting, the easier time the Nuwa pen will have captur[ing] it

That's me out then

Forgejo v10.0 is the last version to allow a transparent upgrade from Gitea v1.22 or lower

Seems like if you're planning on moving to Forgejo then it's simpler to do it now rather than later.

This might even be an appropriate use for AI (maybe even running in-browser for privacy). I imagine something that reads your prompt and auto-populates a few rings to search. You review and edit the suggested rings, then click search.

Minus things already mentioned (and in no particular order):

• The Thick of It (political comedy, has some amazing swearing)
• The Cleaner (British version of a German comedy)
• Ghosts (not the US remake, of course)
• 8 out of Cats Does Countdown (comedy version of the long running quiz show)
• Alan Davis's As Yet Untitled (talk show with comedians)
• Gone Fishing (not a comedy show per se, a gentle fishing show featuring Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse)
• Drunk History (British version of the American show/YouTube sensation from back in the day)
• Mighty Boosh (surreal humour, still gets referenced frequently in my house)
• Jeeves and Wooster
• Phoenix Nights (Peter Kay show, definitely check this out)
• Vicar of Dibley

It doesn't look like it, but I suppose you could write it in the config file and put the whole file in a secret (not tested, may not work)
