Ohh that makes sense

Screenshot from spec sheet on pre-order page, listing Pebble Round 2 as having a 200 DPI display, compared to 202 DPI on Pebble Time 2.

Screenshot of Pebble Round 2 Specs from announcement post, listing the display as being 283 DPI.

In the above screenshot, it looks like PR2 has much lower resolution, there's visible stair stepping on diagonal lines compared to PT2. However the spec sheet on the order page lists them as having almost identical DPI, and the announcement post lists an even higher DPI for PR2. Could you clarify?

I have very little actual electrical experience so take this with a grain of salt, but seems like a capacitor that gets charged up while the button is not pressed might be a good starting point for this?

English language version of my Steinerei film is out! Join Mona and Nick on the hunt for a cheeky spider that's turning out embarrassing for everyone. Mostly Nick though.

I also don't use it often. But when I do, it's very satisfying, haha. See the `retry` function from my other comment, for example. Another is `expect<IllegalStateException> { ... }` for use in tests. Or the small helper functions the Kotlin stdlib offers like `with`, `run`, `let` etc.

Yeah, basically. And an important point being that inlining allows you to do this without the performance tradeoff that higher-order functions otherwise would have (on the JVM at least).

To illustrate - I've written custom `retry` functions before that look like this: `retry(attempts = 3) { /* ... */ }`. Yes, you can do similar things in other languages, but the syntax just integrates super neatly into the language and it has less overhead than regular higher-order functions.

It's just an example for simplicity. You can do whatever want with it, that's the point. And also, the existing repeat, while provided out of the box, is in itself actually making use of exactly this feature, allowing it to be part of the standard library, and *not* actual the language itself.

It allows you to add custom control flow structures that don't exist natively in the language, the example here being the `repeat(x)`-loop.

if-Statements, for-loops, those things are control flow structures. Anything that controls how the program "flows" through its instructions, in what order and how often.

It's that, plus some syntactic sugar to make it feel almost like language-level control flow, plus inlining that prevents actual function objects from having to be created for every invocation. Not much more to it, but nonetheless a very nice DX

Da nun gestern selbst Markus #Frohnmaier bei #Maischberger eingeladen wurde, muss ich nochmal an die Rede erinnern, die Igor #Levit beim Deutschen Filmpreis spontan hielt, als wenige Minuten zuvor der Tod von Margot #Friedländer bekannt geworden war. Bitte bis zum Ende schauen. #niewiederistjetzt

Went through it, look all good except one comment 👍

Screenshot of a diff on github, showing "Zugänglichkeit" being replaced with the more appropriate term "Barrierefreiheit"

Yeah, that's in the PR. Unless I missed it somewhere, totally possible!

Wait didn't I fix that one?

For that website I'm working on we're planning to add a dictionary of domain-specific words and phrases that we always want translated in a specific way to the prompt. That's unfortunately not generalizable and would have to be done manually per language, but it would help with things like "Handle"

chore: Improve German translations by roschlau · Pull Request #370 · lucid-softworks/akari Summary Checking and improving the German localization. Follow-up to this: https://bsky.app/profile/imlunahey.com/post/3m3jzf46fe22m Most of the changes are just for consistency and would have work...

Here you go, quick review of the German translations. Hope that helps :)

I'm assuming this one would be the source to compare against? github.com/lucid-softwo...

I could give it a shot for German, in case you starting to follow me back literally a couple of minutes ago counts as knowing me 😅

Not sure how well that translates to your setup, but it's working pretty well for us. We're also pretty decoupled from the LLM for all but the actual translation itself, since it just translates a plain list of strings to translate. Could switch to any other model or translation service easily

I'm currently building a translation pipeline for a content-heavy website, and running translations in smaller batches seems to work pretty well. One LLM call per blogpost/page etc., and we also checksum the individual source strings so that only new/updated texts are included with every run.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Comic cover. „Partners in Time-Crime - A Life is Strange fan epilogue by Kati Knitt“. Max Caulfield’s hand is drawing a scribble of her holding hands with Chloe Price. Both wear prison clothes and a ball and chain. There’s a little heart above them. In the bottom is a little box with the caption „Rated M – Strong language, Suggestive Themes, Drugs, Suicidal Ideation, Trauma and PTSD, Natural Disasters“.

Wichtige Meeresströmung im Pazifik bricht zusammen Erstmals seit Aufzeichnungsbeginn erreichte das kalte, nährstoffreiche Tiefenwasser des Golfs von Panama nicht die Meeresoberfläche. Verantwortlich dafür ist die Abschwächung der Passatwinde

Bin gespannt,ob die ganzen Klimaleugner den Ernst der Lage erst dann abchecken,wenn sie ihre heiß geliebten Fischstäbchen nicht mehr auf den Teller bekommen🤦‍♀️
Die Dynamik des Klimawandels hat ein Ausmaß erreicht,das alle bisherigen Annahmen übersteigt.
STOP DENYING‼️

I got to design a 90s style mascot for a platformer game once. Only requirement was they'd have to carry a backpack, so of course I made them a backpack. I wish it got made

New #CatanaApp version! Took me a while, but I finally added inline markdown formatting, a bunch of editor niceties and QoL improvements, and fixed a huge performance issue that had been plaguing me from the start. Excited about the progress, it's taking shape!

Visa and Mastercard need to stop being moral arbiters and return to their role of payment processors.

If it’s legal, they should accept their role in the payment process.

Two screenshots from Google searching Brennan Lee Mulligan. On both a Google easter egg overlays Brennan's photo and says "Good luck with your next venture. We support you every step of the way". It also has little American Girl Doll shoes overlaid on his face.

Aw, thank you for the mention 🤗
