@screwlisp 20000 only lasts a couple of hours? 😰 I was hoping to get at least 5-6.

@screwlisp Powering an SBC is exactly my use case! Which model do you have?

Question for techies: Is there a powerbank product out there which has pass through charging, usb-c, at least 35W? Past that the more it can store the better.

@brandon Cool! Yeah I was recently on a Stross kick and read Glass House a few months ago. Did you end up implementing Curious Yellow? Reminds me of a talk I saw a while ago about how compilers could have been compromised at some point with a virus that hides itself in later compiler versions.

The token expiration on NPM is annoying as hell. I already have 2FA, so I need to do two steps of verification just to publish a patch. 😒

@mcr314 I totally agree re: specific error classes. I think Java got it right.

@mcr314 Sadly it's not even related to try catch in this case. It's something weird in the node.js test framework detecting "unhandled promise rejections".

Remember kids: if your code is loading something asynchronously, make sure to wait for things to be loaded in your cleanup code. Else it might fully load *after* cleanup.

Losing my shit cause this test is failing with an error that's actually being caught. 💀

@brandon that resolution seems reasonable. Vnc into android apps is a good idea. I always worry about the offline use case but I guess I should relax about it more.

BTW have you read Accelerando by Charles Stross? Interesting character with always on computer / HMD acting as an mind extension. Inspirational

21. This little trackball is so cute! I've been wanting a trackball thing to mess with but didn't like the bulky options.

Thoughts on AI 

We need to develop a whole immune system. But one good first step would be to prevent people from becoming too wealthy, because you can only become so wealthy by being destructive, ruthless, and non-empathetic. And now think again about who owns the tools. [5/5]
