Dear #LazyWeb: What is needed to get Google to show me fun AI suggestions like adding glue to pizza sauce? How do I get the fake-#AI results?
I am not kidding. Most of my searches are on macOS (12 & 14) using Safari and occasionally other browsers (I've got 7 installed...) but I only log into my G accounts on an as-needed basis and because I use a real mail client for email, I almost never need to log in. I wipe cookies on every browser restart.
If someone wanted to play with running some JavaScript code inside a JVM application, is there an obvious right JS implementation to choose? Nashorn is deprecated (I think). I see Rhino and Javet and maybe others. #lazyweb
Dear #Lazyweb my apple watch wants me to enter my itunes password. But my password is long and strong and I have been unable to do it on the stupid fingerpainting interface for months. Is there an alternative?
I want to understand this, but I can’t grok more than the headline and the potential applications. Is anyone able to explain it to someone whose physics knowledge is Year 12 + Vertasium? Like, how do massless photons even have momentum?! #science#lazyweb https://mastodon.social/@ScienceScholar/112401789379876027
On iOS 17, how do I load an existing ringtone onto the phone? The online directions I’ve found use iTunes, which is not on current macOS, or recording a sound on the phone. I already have the sound on my computer. I can load the ringtone as a file, but it doesn’t show for phone or text tones. #lazyweb#apple
#lazyweb I need a used-working NVMe SSD (2280). Anyone have an one they'd be willing to part with for the cost of shipping (plus a convenience fee)? 1TB preferred, but I'm fine with any size.
I'm looking to do all this under $15.
It's fine if it's used because I want to test if my 2017 desktop supports NVMe (and the answer seems to be... possibly... not even Acer seems to be sure).
Dear #LazyWeb I'd like to create a interactive prototype, nothing complicated, just a simple slider than when I move it, animates a range of simulated LEDs (about 100 of them). My first through was Processing but I'm open to other suggestions.
My issue with any choice is the start up cost, it's usually quite tedious to get started before I can get to the fun part. Any suggestions?
You may be able to do that with Arduino or Raspberry Pi Pico (or any Raspberry Pi) and neopixels (which I think are strips of Led lights and a potentiometer so when that is turned the number of LEDs that come on is bound to the position of the potentiometer (POT.
Pots can be either rotary or linear I think in terms of their physical appearance.
@zleap Thank you! I agree that's likely a strong direction. I'm just trying to explore something in software quickly to "see if it's not stupid" and then, as you suggest, make it much more physical.
does anyone have the sequence of words that make <C-u> and <C-d> in less (or moar) and neo/vim jump up and down by a specific proportion of the viewport hight
@Qyriad i don’t have it, but i would create a function that takes a percentage, gets the current window height, and set scroll to the ratio multiplied by the height, then i would bind that function to events like WinEnter and WinResized. At least for vim, not sure that could be ported to less.
