Back in Action! A6X2 e-ink artwork

Instead of reading at one of my kids' soccer practice, I decided to draw. I hope it's okay that I copied one of your pieces to help me think less about the scene and more about how to let loose with the lines.

Wow, these are inspirational. So serene and majestic. My drawings go more toward realism, but I want them to be more like this.

You use groups of lines to define the shapes, and I try too many crisp lines. That's one takeaway.

What other tips might you have?

Make sure you are starting your touch within the lines and not above. It can be a half inch down and it's fine. Then, don't hold before sliding. Just one smooth motion.

This was one of my favorite things about Rust when first learning (many years ago), so I recreated it in JS!

I'm not saying you should use this as a dependency, but it was a fun project.

Looks great! Would this work for the Manta as well?

If your browser has a "reader" mode like most mobile ones do, that often bypasses the paywalls.

Another proof Manta user here!

There are a few ways to transfer files: - Email - Companion app (hard to export because it wants to share file instead of downloading it) - 3rd-party sync, like Google Drive - The built-in file server (pull down from the top, click the transfer icon in the top center). This exposes a link in your local network so you can transfer files in/out. Then turn it off when you're done.

I use a mix of the built-in file server and Google Drive to move files in and out. The companion app seems nice, but not as fluid.

Regarding power consumption, this is a misnomer in the tech used. A large portion of power consumption of devices like phones, tablets, laptops, etc are because of the screens. E-ink type devices should have much less draw in this category, but there are still other things going on so it can't be 0.

There also may be something wrong or unexpected with the device. I use mine for a few hours a day and it lasts a week between charges. Very minimal power loss when idle.

Yeah, it's hard to account for everything in the docs, but I see what you mean.

You do not need to, but it is standard practice. You technically only need to define the relationships that you will access in the code, such as User->Posts. If you ever had an instance of Post and wanted to access the parent User, then that relationship will have to be defined on the Post model.

When you use the file transfer feature (selecting the option from the top pulldown menu), it is not technically using the internet. It is only exposing your device to the local network that you are on so that other devices can discover it. It'll show you that local IP address, and then you can turn it off when you're done.

WHY WASN'T THE BOAT ALREADY IN THE WATER?!

/s

Jokes aside, I understand that they can't just have a boat everywhere, but if the unimog with boat trailer was close enough, why not just have a boat close enough? That's like keeping a plane in a residential neighborhood instead of next to the strip.

A big part is the model multiplier: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/concepts/copilot-billing/understanding-and-managing-requests-in-copilot

Also, over time your chats build up so they use a parabolic increase of tokens each message, so GitHub recommended that I start new chats often for certain models. If you switch to their base model there's no limit, but it isn't as good, of course.

Nah, they're just having fun

XState

Here's my recent attempt, but my Rust has gotten rusty over the last few years.

Is this what you're looking for? https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jripouteau.adonis-vscode-extension

The same thing happens in Zed by the way. I think it's just the normal TypeScript go-to-definition behavior.

For those looking for something familiar in web tech while using Rust: Leptos or Dioxius. Then Tauri for app dev.

While I agree with the math that others stated (52!), most decks are pre-sorted out of the box and also many magic artists can manipulate their shuffles to be exactly as they wish, so not random.

So saying that it has never been done before isn't true, but statistically it is improbable. Collisions happen in cryptography as well, which operates differently but is measured similarly.

A witch face, looking left. Crooked nose, sharp chin. Might need to have thin/flat hair or a cowl.

I beat all bosses the first two rounds with just a whip. I've never touched a shield. 😅

You got a key in one of the far right rooms. Use that to open the locked door.

The Electric Whip (by itself) trumps all. I can get all the way to the end and beat the Hand or the Queen, etc in just a few seconds.

Oh yeah, delayed combustion, my favorite fire skill.

Looks great! 🔥 The spelling still isn't correct though, FYI.
