This is not a font (like Comic Sans) but was an actual application (to make comics from IRC chats) that was shipped with Windows 98. The application got open sourced.. https://gith…

Android devices already know exactly where they are even with GPS disabled, because they sniff the nearby WIFI networks and then ask Google where they are. QED Google knows already…

I wonder what performance remains on 12GB VRAM GPU when local ollama ties in the systems RAM to run this huge nano model. https://github.com/jameschrisa/Ollama_Tuning_Guide/blob/ma…

This + Layer one also explicitly identifies stakeholders, and describes the current (AS-IS) situation with annonated screenshots so everyone quickly sees what we are talking about.…

I use it to design functional parts for 3D printing at home, very solid 3d design software that works on any internet connected device. Can easily open/see/edit parameters quickly …

I have long dreamt of automating Factorio in the way that HDL and a PCB router works: just specify the ingredients and it produces a Factorio Blueprint. First MVP stupid designs, t…

I would simply argue that the “offline” editing is a people-problem and hence van not be solved using automation. People shall find a way to break/bypass the automation/system. The…

Well this is a roundabout way of justified thinking about a belief that just happens to align with some actual facts..

So true. A solution presented before the problem, IS the problem. Goes for kids and adults, and entire organizations! Quote mine. Also, this todo system is basically what I apply o…

What was the deciding reason to switch from PlantUML to MermaidJS ?

I always like to make the destinction between models on architecture for developers (the solution description) and the models describing functionality (the problem description). On…

As a Software-Developer this article made sense, although I would want it to include a few more useful UML diagrams. Models is the keyword here to me, not "visual". User Feature ->…

In the EU i even noticed the rare US XL pickups (those bigger than parking allows) are blinding pedestrians and cyclists, especially kids. So for that reason alone some vehicles ar…

> How would that work? Kinetic bombardment is possible by launching a satellite with (for example, since its a popular description) heavy tungsten rods, that are parked in orbit. T…

Nice article. It is good to bear in mind the perception of selfcontrol by observers does not actually correlate with the actual selfcontrol that a person exercises.

I wont even play it probably, but i look forward to buy that game via the Epic Banana store just to vote with my wallet.

The poor quality of this article is like a fake text generated by AI. Yet the other website pages are Lorum Ipsum. Not sure if dumb or smart..

If you are from the US and wonder whats up with the bike hippies: All cities you know are car-centric infrastructure, and i'd have a hard time seeing the problem also. Just watch t…
