@natalie.sh if you come across some fun words that are only said in Taiwanese Mandarin vs. Mainland Mandarin let me know 🤓
My uneducated observation is that some terms in Taiwanese Mandarin feel closer to Cantonese which vaguely makes sense to me.

'Tis the season for festive displays, but Hanukkah doesn't always get the same kitschy, fun decor that other holidays do. In this project, you'll build a planetary gear that rotates three dreidels using an STSPIN220 silent stepper motor driver and a KB2040 running CircuitPython

@fullmoon.id I think the easiest win compared to an MCP-style architecture would be to have something completely stateless where possible, from what I know these servers have a persistent connection.
Idk hot take but all of this still feels like engineering hacks glued together.

Today, we're opening up Seams Alpha (seams.so), a social web annotation built in the Atmosphere. We're hoping it helps with collective sense-making.
This is just the start, there's still lots to do!
We'd love if you tried it with us.

@mackuba.eu I feel crazy asking this... but what is the GUI "Apple way" to delete apps on Tahoe if the Lauchpad screen is now gone? There's no app "jiggle mode" anymore. I feel like a Boomer asking this.
Do they just expect people to drag apps to the Trash now?

@steveklabnik.com iirc you have some experience with other memory safe languages like D, have you seen this project? fil-c.org a C/C++ compiler that outputs memory safe code.
Just curious if you knew about it/had any thoughts.

@ruuuuu.de you might want to see w/ a throwaway did:web account if moving between PDS servers breaks something, a few people have had their did:web account randomly stop working. For me did:web:atproto-nix.org just doesn’t show up in Bsky AppView and @lost.whey.party was documenting their issues.
