mortgage prepayment penalty fees are reasonably common and happen if you pay too much on it too early

I don't understand how these are fundamentally different from the phone cameras that everyone points at everyone else already. holding a phone up isn't exactly conspicuous at this point.

schools should probably ban them for the case above, but schools should probably ban phones as well. in the US at least there's so expectation of privacy anywhere public and smart glasses are a tiny fraction of the doorbell cameras, security cameras, etc that are everywhere

it feels like we're approaching a circlejerk level of being against smart glasses in general, which do have a ton of interesting use cases that aren't recording related (but still require a camera for position tracking etc). the "pervert glasses" position is intentionally obtuse

as someone that forgets that they're in the middle of doing laundry frequently, it was great getting notifications when it was done. I rented a place for a bit that had a smart washer, I actually really miss that.

maintenance and such I'm sure were worse, and I'd much rather it be all local and have open apis, but fundamentally, having a connected washer is actually really nice

I've tried vibration sensors on the current not connected wadher, but I can't get anything reliable enough to be useful

I feel like mouse heavy games aren't too bad as long as they work with the touchscreen

A lot of languages have an asunc/await facade for tasks run on a background thread for result (c#, clj, py, etc), but it's certainly not the default anywhere, and go most goroutines(?)/other csp implementations are probably going to be yielding for some io most of the time at the bottom anyway

I've found it to be less strict than I'd prefer. Things like whether parameters are aligned or indented, whether or not the first one is on its own line, what statements are indented in fluent calls that have blocks, etc.

A lot of other formatters (prettier, anything for python, etc) force something consistent in those cases, whereas it seems like the dotnet formatter prefers to leave things as they were.

I'd love for it to be more opinionated and heavy handed if anyone has suggestions

Voron doesn't sell anything, you either have to source all the materials yourself or buy a kit. I bought a kit from formbot when I built my V0 and have been pretty happy with it. They also sell V2.4 kits and have a warehouse in Czech

Try some Vonnegut if you haven't. hgttg really feels like a derivative of Sirens of Titan in particular. Slaughterhouse 5 is one of my favorites too

I mean, I'd imagine it's trivial to do without js. Just try to load an image or similar with a name that'd be blocked into the background image for a div that covers the entire page. Should silently fail to load with a blocker, or shows your error image if they don't.

I haven't tried it since it was a separate version, but I didn't notice any issues at all

What about pkcon? I haven't used it in particular, but packagekit based GUIs work pretty well in my experience, and then it supports flatpak/snap/apt/kde addons/etc in one interface, which is better than it was originally.

probably since later people could look at the partial image, see that pink wasn't a very likely color, and check their math until the result looked more correct
