That’s just a charity…

I took up online tutoring and teaching programming for kids. It has great benefits:

• It’s an hour or so after work, it has a fixed schedule so it forces me to clock out
• it makes me focus hard so I completely forget about work
• it pays for itself (not my corporate day-job rate, but I’m not doing it for free)
• I can try out languages and tech I’d normally wouldn’t be able to in my day job, or I’d have to invest my free time for a side project
• I have a background in teaching… I like it, it’s fun and refreshing
• I’ve helped many kids jump start their interest in programming even in families that know nothing about tech at all. I’ve helped a few of them to get accepted to the school they wanted to and pursue a career in programming

All in all, teaching after work makes for a great hobby and a strong barrier for my day job so I don’t find myself working late anymore.

The requirement for Recall is a neural coprocessor with substantial performance, specifically to be able to run the model locally.

The term ‘Quiet quitting’ in this context is not about quitting your job without complaining.

Quiet quitting refers to doing the minimum requirements of one’s job and putting in no more time, effort, or enthusiasm than absolutely necessary.

Oh but it is

SAO / Matrix level immersive VR

Judging from the photo at least Intex seems to be doing quite well.

You know you can configure to not autoskip those segments, right? You can always skip manually, if it’s that kind of video.

I’m gonna just leave this link to the official speedrun.com asset page that may or may not have a freely available Android APK of the original Peggle Deluxe that works on modern devices.

Video games: A promising tool for inducing anxiety and depression

AFAIK the black hole in Interstellar is considered a fairly realistic representation (not SA* specifically though).

They even published a paper on it.

I didn’t, but now I do. Thanks, I guess.

Why not use winget or chocolatey instead? They allow for auto updates and have much wider library. Winget can even pull from msstore if necessary. There’s even a convenient WingetUI that consolidates them and others (winget, choco, scoop, npm, .net, pip, etc.) to a single app manager.

I collect unfinished projects.

Switch-statement (called match) was added to Python 3.10 in late 2021. This is a reasonable, albeit older style of enumerated branching.

I have great news for you: check out Ferdium.

It was a Bored Ape event "ApeFest’ in November. They used harmful UV bulbs instead of regular black light for decoration.

Homeopathy was developed and thriving in an era when “do nothing” was better for the patient than contemporary accepted treatments.

Getting a used mid-range printer is quite affordable. Or try looking for your local maker space, so you don’t have to buy your own. It’s never been easier to get into 3D printing than today.

Also, it’s quite easy to sell custom 3D prints. Thus it’s not that hard to cover the cost of materials (or even the printer itself).
