> Knowing algorithms, data structures and their memory and time complexities is very relevant for SWE
Agree with this; however knowing how to roll your own BFS/LRU/etc isn't -- in that case I'd rather review the PR of someone who understands how to leverage tested and known implementations than the PR of someone who decided to roll their own.

Nice interface -- I made something similar but for a specific game (Binding of Isaac) because it has a specific way of implementing shaders for mods. https://sublimnl.github.io/IsaacShaderStudio/

A decade or so ago, we got rid of a huge collection of about 350 laserdics - a guy drove from two states over to pick them up for his small towns community center where they would play movies for the town.

Kaitai is very useful for reverse engineering a binary file that you have some assumptions of. I've used it for save file reverse engineering and then creating a read/write library for it. It should be usable for PDF Metadata.

Interestingly, my paternal great-great-grandfather immigrated to the U.S. in 1868 with Carlson as his last name; later in life, my sister was born in Sweden because we happened to live there at the time, and her birth certificate was written as Carlsson - tbh I always thought my dad just didn't fill things out right and hence why she has a different spelling on her lastname.

I tried three images as the prompt, all three isolated without a background, and it worked pretty decently. Nothing I would actually use, but they generated something close enough.

You can also add ?w=1 to a PR to hide whitespace related changes; i.e. https://github.com/victorqribeiro/isocity/pull/26/files?w=1

GoDaddy is the registry, but not the sole registrar that it can be registered through. Both NameCheap and Gandi are options - and I am sure others too.
NB: I work for GoDaddy, but am not responding in any capacity on their behalf.

Last spring, I was at my friends new at the time restaurant, when he let me know that Pete Wells was at the table behind us (and how important this night was for my friend) -- I noticed the sheer amount of food - pretty much the entire menu - that was coming and going from that table. I didn't even put it in to perspective how demanding that was on the body, since all I could think of was how I wish I had his job tasting amazing food all the time. The review came out a few weeks later, and it was a pretty nice review - took quite some time before reservations were obtainable again.

Semantic UI[1] was one I used to use, both the plain CSS one as well as the React version of the library. Version 3.0 is coming (eventually), which has left it a bit outdated for a while, but it's still a solid UI library imho. I have been switching away to Tailwind.

I am rebuilding the website for a personal project of mine; the site is for a mod in a game that offers twitch integration, and in the mod, there is a "twitch chest" that only chat can open.
I added an easter egg on the website, that when you click on the chest in the footer, it follows the mouse in a similar way it would within the game -- it keeps a safe distance from the mouse to prevent interfering with it, and will repel away to that distance when moving the mouse towards it.
https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/floating-chest-k33n63 for a React component that implements this functionality.

My grandfather, from Belgium, suffered from mesothelioma - I flew back to see him and attended the conversations and sign offs, secondary sign offs, etc necessary for him to be able to be euthanized. He was already in a lot of pain and his quality of life was very different than the man I knew growing up. I was already back in the States when the waiting period was over, and we had a final video call prior to him being administered the medications that would ease him in to cardiac arrest -- he had deteriorated so much more in that month. Death was unfortunately the only outcome in his scenario, and giving him the ability to pass away while at home surrounded by loved ones, was a choice he had and took. I am very Americanized, having been here in the States for so long now, and it was a bit surreal going through all this, but, I am very happy he had that option.
If you look at this[1] 2023 report on euthanasia in Belgium, I don't think the numbers are anywhere near a height that it would be something I would say they "excel" at.

I was making a similar library (paired with a cli app) in Go a while back with some fun results -- it lead me down a rabbit hole trying to render animated gifs, which has interesting results depending on the terminal being used. I also implemented the resizing of the images to properly scale for the terminal as well. I never actually got around to uploading the repo, but will try to get around to that tonight.
Some videos of it in action: https://youtu.be/L2LTPKW6EPw https://youtu.be/b0CYZyuKLr8 https://youtu.be/_VnV96l5Xkc

You should also check out Phrack Magazine (an online distributed ezine that is still active, albeit with years between issues - they also have a 2024 call for writers though!) at phrack.org
Another older print publication was Blacklisted! 411, very similar format to 2600. I attended some meetups from both of these back in the day.
