This looks great. I'll have to play around with it.

For once, I'd love to have a nice UI around this so I don't need to search docs, google mongo syntax, check the schema, and edit the code in different spots

Wonder if it can it write data pipelines with unit/regression testing and model the data for decision making. Probably not but one day it might. Generally I see tools like these as potential supplements for what my team does, not replacements.

"not just for electric vehicles, but all cars" -- this is good news for the planet, regardless of what you think of $TESLA.

12.5.1 is the latest, non-beta release. That's still Monterey. Ventura will be 13.x.

You can actually compile ReasonML to native code with dune.

What are some of the things that weird you out about OCaml's syntax?

Note that this doesn't mean you can start eating chocolate with 30% simple sugars. Just cocoa with hot water, no sugar. Maybe a bit of milk, but not much since it has simple sugars as well.

Argo CD is one of those tools you use that you can't imagine living without.

New comment by donut2d in "AlphaFold reveals the structure of the protein universe"

donut2d — Thu, 28 Jul 2022 16:09:27 +0000

A fun way I've been thinking about all this is what nanotech/nanobots are actually going to look like. Tiny little protein machines doing what they've been doing since the dawn of life. We now have a library of components, and as we start figuring out what they can do, and how to stack them, we can start building truly complex machinery for whatever crazy tasks we can imagine. The impact goes so far beyond drugs and treatments.

donut2d — Thu, 31 Mar 2022 16:42:19 +0000

This no longer seems to be the case. I've always found it easy to tell it what format a cell is.

New comment by donut2d in "Mac Studio M1 Ultra Teardown [video]"

So I had a thermal problem with my 2018 15" i7 MBP that sounds very similar to what you describe. Temps hit 60° and then get heavily throttled. It started happening after a repair to the keyboard. After dealing with that for 6 months I brought it in to Apple and they fixed the issue by replacing the mainboard, I think. Since it's very rare I see throttling for my use cases (compiling, some gaming).

New comment by donut2d in "I nearly lost the Lightroom catalog with of all my photos"

donut2d — Mon, 30 Aug 2021 16:43:32 +0000

Last year all of my photos and presets had disappeared after updating the Lightroom app. That was 2+ years of edits that are just gone, lost, unrecoverable.

I do photography as a hobby so I never saw a need for backing up photos and I never paid for the subscription (which would include cloud storage) because I didn’t use any of the tools that came along with the subscription.

It's basically Descent. It's created by some of the original Descent devs.

Very cool, thanks.

I totally agree with the fact that understanding the problem of slow application is a first what you need to do.

donut2d — Mon, 31 May 2021 17:16:57 +0000

Facebook uses location data to learn where you live and where you go. For some, this location-based targeting might be fine since it serves them relevant ads.

Thanks, I hate it.

Do you know what works great as hand sanitizer? Rubbing alcohol - no scent, no additives, no gummy weirdness, and cheaper.

donut2d — Fri, 12 Feb 2021 16:08:37 +0000

Between Macs with macOS, this usually works fine (except with older hardware that is not supported by the OS on the external drive). Can't say for Windows.

OCaml seems like it hits all of those well.
