ChatGPT is incredibly useful for summarising. The next step is to automate the whisper transcription, and add some tts for the replies. So you can talk to it directly

I'm curious did it not lose the plot at any point? I find after a certain amount of questions it rambles a bit - that's on 3.5 though..

Something similar happened recently here in South Africa, a woman bumped the thief with her car. He didn't die though, and she wasn't prosecuted. People are sick of crime here

Pretty cool. I was looking up nes games recently, turns out there are still people making games for the platform, open source and on GitHub!

Yeah ok but my affiliate links what happens to them?

A friend had the shower drain piped directly to his garden sprinkler at one point. His shower was on the 2nd floor so gravity did the rest.

Probably have a ton of unusual/unique items, being a magician and juggler, but the one that comes to mind is our dedicated BBQ bellows.

This is simply an old re-purposed balloon pump and lives outside next to the fireplace. Best way to get the fire going, portable, cheap.. Beats blowing with your mouth/waving newspaper hands down.

Just dropping a quick vote for Platformio here. It's a bit of a learning curve but they know how to organise code over there. Also VSCode will super power your coding experience. I used Arduino IDE for many years but almost completely switched now.

Still using Arduino though! #include Arduino.h

Fun meme but corporate job listings in my town contradict the premise.

Let them C# I'm sticking to C++ and Python.

I was about 19, a magician friend told me I was good enough at juggling to do busking but I was too shy. Decided to give it a go anyway and remember shaking so hard while lighting the fire torches I was using. Made R30 ($2) so not a lot but I did it. I remember thinking to myself, "I'll never have to work again!"

That was over 20 years ago, and since then - with the exception of that stupid pandemic we had recently - I have made a decent living as a circus performer and magician.

I won't tell you it wasn't a bumpy ride at first, but that first show was the turning point for me I will never forget.

Don't know if anyone remembers but private repo's used to be restricted on GitHub, so I actually use BitBucket for most of my private stuff.

Feels like it wouldn't take much change for me to leave with my own stuff although some presence would always be necessary due to contributions. I don't use any of the "features" of GH though, except for pages and that's for work.

Not to mention the savings on bandwidth, all those ads cost your money!

It's in South Africa. You can't legally buy a TV without showing your TV license here.

Luckily this does not apply to computer monitors although there are some in our government who want it to be an obligatory national tax instead - due to widespread non-compliance. The fees support a bloated and corrupt nationalised public broadcaster.
