The tidyverse folks in R have been using that for a while: https://magrittr.tidyverse.org/reference/pipe.html

I've always found magrittr mildly hilarious. R has vestigial Lisp DNA, but somehow the R implementation of pipes was incredibly long, complex and produced stack traces, so it moved to a native C implementation, which nevertheless has to manipulate the SEXPs that secretly underlie the language. Compared to something like Clojure's threading macros it's wild how much work is needed.

And base R has had a pipe for a couple years now, although there are some differences between base R's |> and tidyverse's %>%: https://www.tidyverse.org/blog/2023/04/base-vs-magrittr-pipe...

R, specifically tidyverse, has a special place in my heart. Tidy principles makes data analysis easy to read and easy to use new functions, since there are standards that must be met to call a function "tidy."

Recently I started using Nushell, which feels very similar.

Base R as well: |> was implemented as a pipe operator in 4.1.0.

Importantly, the base R pipe implements the operation at the language parsing level, so it has basically zero overhead.

I would assume, that most languages do that, or alternatively have a compiler, that is smart enough to ensure there is no actual overhead in the compiled code.

R + tidyverse is the gold standard for working with data quickly in a readable and maintainable way, IMO. It's just absolutely seamless. Shoutout to tidyverts (https://tidyverts.org/) for working with time series, too

Learn how I used money from my retirement account to buy 32 ETH and set up a solo Ethereum validator node (a server that helps run the Ethereum blockchain and earns an ETH reward for that work).

How much are you planning on getting per year as reward for staking? Enough to hopefully get another 32 ETH, from what you say in the article, so doubling your money at some point.

Good question. Rewards vary because: “Ethereum staking APR is mainly affected by the number of active validators that dilute staking rewards and by the network activity paying out more or less transaction fees, priority tips, and through MEV opportunities created.“ That quote is from this site: https://www.kiln.fi/post/pos-ethereum-staking-rewards-a-deep...

But, if I were to assume a rate of 4%, compounding monthly, for 20 years. 32 could turn into 71. I got that number using this calculator:

https://www.mathportal.org/calculators/financial-calculators...

That’s not considering gas fees for the compounding transactions though. Nor the cost of running the server. But I guess it’s a rough guess.

Would you consider adding an RSS feed? I tried adding it to Feedly and it didn’t find an RSS feed.

Interesting. Instead of just using shades or green and blue, would you consider displaying numerical values too? I was confused about how close the tiles were to flipping to my color.

Side note: I’m working on a game that has some similarities that might interest you: https://simondorfman.com/volcanoes1

Looks like one of the consistent pieces of feedback is for numeric values :) Will think about how to implement that.

Checked out your site too. Looks interesting!

I tried it on Firefox mobile and when I lose in the second difficulty level I can't really see anything but the "game over restart" message.

I'd like to be able to see the score and the layout to analyze the game.

Really nice job, though! Fun concept.

Thanks! Will adjust the layout to make post-game analysis easier

Fun and addictive game - I’m also at 27-23 now :)

Uncertainty regarding piece state is also my number one feedback. Maybe rather than numeric, make that states visibly discrete in some other way?

37-13! Thinking about it a bit, I realize the main uncertainty is which parts are "in danger" - which will switch color or "hardness" next turn with no influence?

Or a tug-of-war like indicator showing the threshold. (Although not a sufferer, blue-green is a common colour blindness)

Update - I've updated the UI to have a clearer visual indicator of how close the tiles were to flipping, using the size of the colored area.

Trying to find more info about the creators. Looks like there is a Delaware Corp but no officers publicly listed. Hmmm. Anyone else know where to learn more about the creators?

Hello. What would you like to know about us?

Not surprising, the mining rig manufacturers always liked to stay anonymous.

I like this app (voice dream) for text to speech: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/voice-dream-reader/id496177674

Buy books wherever you want, then put them into voice dream to listen.

Even after logging in, the link doesn’t work. It says “ You must be logged in _and a member of this blog_.”.

I agree, hard to find. I found this, which I think should be in the readme: https://docs.sympy.org/latest/tutorial/intro.html

Symbolic computation deals with the computation of mathematical objects symbolically. This means that the mathematical objects are represented exactly, not approximately, and mathematical expressions with unevaluated variables are left in symbolic form.

Let’s take an example...
