Made a discord soundboard bot. Some simple text channel commands get the bot to join whatever voice channel you're in and get the bot to display available sounds as buttons in the text channel. It actually works really well and sounds great.
My friends and I just wanted a bigger soundboard without having to pay for it.
There's a certain irony behind the source info being from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum website.
I'll pitch that this is just the natural result of repealing the fairness doctrine by Reagan in 1985.
The fairness doctrine started out in 1949 as a policy to avoid having the top broadcaster's of the time (NBC, ABC, and CBS) create a biased public agenda by leveraging their audience monopoly. They were required to provide multiple contrasting view points on issues of public importance.
When Reagan repealed the fairness doctrine, the influence on media outlets to pitch left or right leaning view points only, took off.
I've mostly done hobby projects with rust.
axum + mongodb + oauth2 (just basic rest api)
rust-bert ( for some nlp stuff. Zero-shot, NER, etc.)
Bevy ( I was following a tutorial for a super basic space invaders game)
I chose rust because I always like to have some kind of systems level programming language on my belt. It used to be c++. Rust had seemed very interesting so I began trying it out more and more. It's awesome.
An embryo is technically, a fertilized egg. It makes economic sense to fertilize a batch of egg cells in one go because
1: They may not all be successfully fertilized 2: Some fertilized eggs may encounter defects early on in development.
I haven't checked the original article, but I assume fertilized eggs ( embryos) where accidentally destroyed when dropped.
With all that said, I think this whole thing is ridiculous. A baby needs three things to be born. A sperm, an egg, and a uterus (maybe in the future we'll have crazy external uteruses. We've done it with sheep.).
If an embryo is not placed into a uterus, I'm not bothering referring to it as a human. Hell, you can't even identify the sex yet.
I think the embryos are also thrown in the trash. Are these where dumpster babies come from?
I've said it once with my brother. I'll say it again. I'm waiting for some kind of assassination attempt. Just in general. Not even a party affiliated prediction. I just think somebody is going to take a shot at "solving the problem".
I'm just waiting for us to go full circle where the majority are just listening to the radio for the broadcast about the game.
I'm not a game dev, just a regular dev. I have experimented with Bevy though. The documentation is top notch and there are many examples, YouTube videos and guides for starting out. I followed one such guide that was essentially a space invaders clone. I switched out some of the assets so that it was my brother's face shooting lasers, and sent it to him.
At my leisure pace, I finished the tutorial in about a week. I recommend giving it a try. Your first game doesn't have to be perfect or even complete. My space invaders didn't even have a background color.
For real. The newest two are more in line with the Last of Us where it was story first, action second. The first games of God of War are a buffet of violence being propped up by a story. Don't get me wrong, the story line is good, even now. But it was always button mashing, crazy boss fights, brutal kills first.
I'm on Linux and use Firefox with ghostery and AdBlock extensions. I've got hit with the "must watch ads to play video" thing on YouTube, but just end up activating a user agent extension and set it to report that I'm "running chrome on windows 10". Voila. I can magically watch YouTube videos without ads again.
This. I was reading through some of the comments, but this is the most accurate one I've read thus far. All the APIs I've dealt with are just vanilla HTTP and use a reverse proxy for https. A reverse proxy like nginx is also convenient for path pattern matching to different API services but only having to setup https in one spot, nginx
