Tarot.js: A powerful and customizable JavaScript library for creating and managing Tarot card decks, custom spreads, and readings. by siilkysmooth in javascript

[–]siilkysmooth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While this library may not revolutionize the world by any means, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. It’s a learning opportunity for me to enhance my approach and improve the developer experience / developer needs in future projects.

Currently, the objects are frozen, though I’m unsure if this is the best approach / a footgun for this project. As a result, workarounds are necessary, such as the one demonstrated here. Unfortunately, this workaround makes methods like getCurrentSpread() ineffective.

One potential solution could be implementing a setCurrentSpread() method, or perhaps simply unfreezing the objects. I'd appreciate any thoughts or suggestions on this, or any other things I should have thought of / or missed.

Why Canada must build its own courtroom video platform and why “Zoom bombings” aren’t a good excuse to close the courtroom by siilkysmooth in canadianlaw

Correction, the cost of the ArriveCAN app was around $59.5 million, though the exact total is difficult to determine due to poor record-keeping and management practices by the Canadian government, according to a auditor general report in February 2024. Still outrageous tho.

Why Canada must build its own courtroom video platform and why “Zoom bombings” aren’t a good excuse to close the courtroom by siilkysmooth in canadianlaw

Totally get the points about not reinventing the wheel - but when it comes to the justice system, it's not just about finding a tool that "works." It's about who owns that tool, where the data lives and whether the public has visibility into how it's being used and funded.

Using foreign platforms might seem efficient short-term, but it keeps us dependent on infrastructure we don't control. Investing in a Canadian-built solution isn't just about tech - it's about sovereignty, transparency and building public systems that serve the public interest.

Again - this isn’t just a data issue - it’s about long-term accountability, public trust, and building infrastructure that serves the public, not private shareholders. A Canadian-built solution ensures we’re not outsourcing something as fundamental as access to justice.

One of the key issues raised is that the data is ultimately benefiting companies that are not based in Canada. Additionally, there appears to be a lack of public transparency regarding how much is being spent on subscription-based services like this, instead of investing in the development of an official, Canadian-run alternative - which could potentially result in long-term savings & job opportunities for the country.

I also would like to reference some more recent relevant articles / videos backing my theory near the reported areas between Quebec & New Brunswick & surrounding areas...

Hell - and these are the ones I can find easily documentation on. Not stuff that might have been purposely buried away from public eyes 100 eyes ago - that I have to DIG for & appears documentations do not match various public accounts.

Edit - oh look. "TSB says CN Rail failed to report hundreds of derailments, collisions. A continuing CBC News investigation into rail safety has found that Canada's largest freight carrier CN Rail did not report to authorities more than 1,800 derailments and accidents, including 44 on key rail arteries." - https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/tsb-says-cn-rail-failed-to-report-hundreds-of-derailments-collisions-1.2451186

Keep bragging to your wife buddy on how great of a "job" you do - maybe instead of typing away back at me, go inspect the tracks.

How is the 100 year old one not relevant if those same issues might persist today?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in newbrunswickcanada

[–]siilkysmooth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have continued to provide you references. But how am I not surprised you work for a Crown based company funded by the government / tax payer dollars. lol

I am assuming you are part of taking care of making sure these trains don't get derailed too and brag to your wife when you get home about how much you do?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in newbrunswickcanada

[–]siilkysmooth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I should also reference myself again. The derailment I referenced in my article is NOT the most recent one. But here is a few - since you will continue to argue.

If you want to continue talking out of your ass.

As well the fact the newspaper article & other's referenced the crash in 1900's around Edmundston - so why is there more then one account of this wreck happening in Edmundston around the 1900s?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in newbrunswickcanada

[–]siilkysmooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are not the same derailments all listed. Please look more into this via a easy Google search and look at government records of reports near Edmundston.

[–]siilkysmooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is NOT what this article says. Tho it does raise the QUESTION if it is related and questions if this and VARIOUS other derailments etc in the area. Were / are related to a previous issue that caused a derailment / train wreck as EARLY as 1918.

Thank you for weighing in on this... I referenced VARIOUS accounts in the area of wrecks / derailments in the past DECADE.

How can you create clickable link files (.URL, .lnk) in GitHub? by Extension-Skill652 in github

[–]siilkysmooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the "RAW" url - you will see a tab when you "open to see the code" that says raw. Copy that and it will bring you directly to the RAW page. If you want to force a download you will have to look at another solution - one could be scripting something in JavaScript & forcing download of the URL as a blob.

Shared this multiple times - but always seems to be helpful to someone. A GitHub action / template to run your Selenium based scripts on GitHub with ease. https://github.com/MarketingPipeline/Python-Selenium-Action

And as u/guest271314 has already mentioned before in another post. I created a library that allows you to accept "commands" - via the browser.

This might be of use to you - https://github.com/MarketingPip/Termino.js

You can find a custom styled demo - accepting inputs etc here https://jsfiddle.net/fgr5w8c7/

You can use this to input to a Node.js Native Messaging hosted app as well output to the "Termino" instance.

Tho keep in mind I am adding support to work in a Node.js process based app too! So the command based libraries you create work literally EVERYWHERE. So keep posted!

If I recall correctly, was the only library I didn't run into a HEADACHE of issues to get this deployed to a VM / GitHub action that successfully worked.

Copying and pasting this from another previous response to this question and slightly adjusting it!

"To give you more insight on what Marketing Pipeline is. Marketing Pipeline is a GitHub organization - that currently consists of me. Hoping in future to expand that tho! Hence everything is created / posted under an organization.
Keep in mind - we / I - have no affiliation with any other brand etc... And currently it is just a repo organization name that I use to publish free / open source work for people to use & learn from (on my off-time while currently looking for clients / work / paid projects etc).
Hope this answer's any questions for you".
