Got a Nixle alert to avoid Petaluma Dan Lyke / comment 0

Got a Nixle alert to avoid Petaluma Boulevard South at Mountain View Ave so of course we had to walk down and see. Not sure how this happened, but I think the wheels side is supposed to stay down

Ah, yes, when you have to use QuickTime Player to screen record XCode to catch the stack trace before XCode shits itself...

Coreutils audit Dan Lyke / comment 0

maxine 🇵🇸 @maxine@hachyderm.io

Consider the following: rust rewrites of projects like coreutils exist purely to remove copyleft licensing. The supposed security and performance gains are irrelevant, and while memory safety is important, logic bugs don’t suddenly cease to exist just because it was written in Rust.

So I'm fleshing out this app with Dan Lyke / comment 0

So I'm fleshing out this app with Cosmic/Iced, and... is there a cross-platform widget set for Rust that's lighter weight and not so "rerender everything when the data model changes" based?

Preferably with a reasonable table control that has in-place editing, and cropping of columns with variable length (so a cell with long data in a column that fills doesn't overrun the next column)?

short videos and attention Dan Lyke / comment 0

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience: Mobile phone short video use negatively impacts attention functions: an EEG study

These results suggest that an increased tendency toward mobile phone short video addiction could negatively impact self-control and diminish executive control within the realm of attentional functions. This study sheds light on the adverse consequences stemming from short video consumption and underscores the importance of developing interventions to mitigate short video addiction.

I'm... skeptical of EEG studies and results, and the "this is an addiction" opener, but wanted to find a place to refer back to this.

Via.
