Here is my hobbyist take: There are certain types of personalities that do not form deep connections. They "use" people to suit their needs. Machiavellians and Narcissists come to …

Don’t think logically, think like a narcissist: If you plant that bug, you exactly know how to fix it. The more damage it causes, the higher the admiration if you fix it. HOWEVER, …

Reminds me of T-Shirts with DeCSS's code printed on it. Wild times.

Nearly 200 stars in a repository that is only four weeks old is remarkable. Where did you promote it?

If I were good at financial math (which I'm not), I would calculate that against a regular loan. E.g., how high would the interest be, if you were to keep the device.

While diving deep into DCF77, I noticed there is something similar for the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWV_(radio_station) It just doesn't seem to get used that much, I suppo…

> I like this. Honestly, I'd want this as a default. I wonder if a mailserver can be configure like this. Doesn't sound too hard, does it?

They are quite handy, though. Also, there is a (commercial, proprietary) weather protocol encoded on top. However, since the end of june, there are technical issues and no forecast…

I wonder if "but the turtles survived and I was right!" is the best way to look at it if humanity is close to extinction in the next century or so.

Looks like several of these have come up in the past months, with the last one being a real product (that was on pre-order) - https://makerworld.com/models/2872376-esp32-plane-rada…

Like 'LineageOS'? Or 'Fire OS'?

So the algorithmic system could potentially destroy itself. Neat!

I wonder if zep (the creator) ran into technical issues at some point. The voxels are actual voxels in the sense that the painter’s algorithm is used to splat the voxel grid on the…

Interesting - maybe my view is biased. So it's about the people that are in power or more likely to be in power. Hm. Makes sense, thinking about it. Maybe power does, in fact, chan…

Conservatives and right-wing. Gives them more control. It‘s a pattern that gets obvious once you see it. It’s so they can hide their own secrets better. In Germany, we have a law t…

I think "cartel" might be the word to look for.

I like to disagree here. Despite the downvotes, not many people write or talk like that. It is not that common, at least in english. Contrastive framing is a pretty low-effort, hig…

It‘s so annoying. Please, folks: Write your own words with your own quirks! Yes, you aren't a native speaker. Yes, it will read weird. But I prefer weirdness over AI. There is so m…

That doesn’t matter. It’s about the end-users perspective in that case. You can sell physical copies in physical stores or online on competitive pricing. The main point is that the…

This will hopefully backfire. As soon as there are no more physical copies of games available, Sony will run into the same situation that Apple is currently, which will make them a…

I agree. The first three from reddit work really well for me. I assume it's because of the fixed horizontal movement, and the fact that they are captured at the same moment from di…

Makes sense if you think about it: Narcissism and Machiavellianism would require to convince real people. But AI will happily comply.

Amazingly, there are people out there (apart from creators), that work that way in their day-to-day job. I had the pleasure to work with such a person. After several months, he got…

Reminds me of my X230. Nowadays, I only use it for CAN-Bus related work on my car, but it is so small, yet so well build.

There is a dishwasher from Bosch, that misses some features if you are not using the App - cost-cutting measures. Jeff Geerling made a video about that: https://youtu.be/5M_hmwBBPn…
