+1024. what the FUCK, Anil. We solved coding-is-for-everyone by throwing up our hands. please crush my body under the heaviest layer of abstraction yet and have the llm read my eulogy because who could possibly know me better than the code I spend all day talking to as if it were a human


Lurked for >10y here. Created an account just to say, "+1 well said."



I'm playing with this and wondering if this is an actually good way to identify dominant colors and other features of a garment/product when using a photo where the item is styled and not isolated from the model or other garments


There should be an existing simpler way to do it. Image contains a bunch of pixels so you could just group the to see main colors


I love that Glitch and Kinopio look like they were designed by someone with their own personal style/way of doing UI. Contrast with nearly everything else on the web.


1990s: just exploring, finding something cool on an FTP server

1997: you could make a web page about a subject you were interested in, list it in Yahoo etc, and people would come visit it

early 2000s: micro communities of friends and strangers visiting and commenting on each other's blogs


Sometimes there'd be a bunch because BBSes the zip passed through would add an nfo or .bbs


For NVMe, if you get the SMART data with smartmontools/smartctl, you can inspect Percentage Used.

"Percentage Used: Contains a vendor specific estimate of the percentage of life used for the Endurance Group based on the actual usage and the manufacturer’s prediction of NVM life. A value of 100 indicates that the estimated endurance of the NVM in the Endurance Group has been consumed, but may not indicate an NVM failure. The value is allowed to exceed 100."

for SATA/SAS SSDs, there is "Media_Wearout_Indicator" which hasn't been a particularly reliable indicator in my experience.

CrystalDiskInfo[1] can be used for this purpose over on Windows. Some vendor-provided utilities like Samsung Magician will also provide this data with appropriate drives.

Only if you need a fancy GUI or guide some non-tech person to read the values to you over the phone/IM.

Otherwise just use win32 port of smartmontools.


little warning for others - i tested it on a jammy box with kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone = 0 and it froze up good


> But maybe I missing the point?

maybe! coding can be playful and computers are for everyone.
