Very hard on queens in particular

I've been keeping bees for well over a decade now, and Varroa mite management and prevention of downstream disease vectors like deformed wing virus are consuming ever greater amoun…

Analog to digital converters (components generally built-in to uCs and SoCs but you can make them using simple resistor ladders) have common resolution ranging usually from 8bit to…

not claiming kotlin invented anything, just that after kotlin adopts something and it turns out to be useful, java will come along in a few years and implement it (or avoid it, dep…

I still recall when java first came out, its all relative--but sure, a decade can seem like eons in software.

I'm honestly happy with java lang's stewardship over the past decade, this particular JEP notwithstanding (it's fine, but the good parts come later.) They're conservative in adopti…

They just decided to tackle non-nullable value types in a follow-on JEP. I don't think they're saying it's untenable. You don't eat the elephant in one bite and all that. That said…

Am I understanding this correctly: a value type really only works when it fits on a 64 bit "cache line", and when larger, it falls back to normal heap allocated objects as before? …

Reminds me of my teenage years when I'd echo spooky messages to other folks /dev/pttys to freak them out (messages i sent just magically appeared in their open terminals) Why they …

I don't hate it. Covers all the bases: 1.1, 2, 3/quic and solves real problems: get query limitations vs body content & post-without-mutation. Yes there are preexisting workarounds…

I switched to a nxtpaper pro phone which has a hardware switch for bw vs color modes and an e-ink like display (not as good but close enough) I love it, mostly because it forces me…

Did a bit of digging; the first client gets forked to create the "server". The forked server then detaches and runs in the background. You're right that -x creates an entirely new,…

I didn't say you couldn't have multiple clients, I said clients and servers are the same process forked. Or did someone add distinct client/server support to screen finally? I know…

Tmux is n clients to 1 server. Screen is 1 server to 1 client. In screen each client session is a fork of the screen server. In tmux there's one server and many client forks iirc.

Fun fact, Snow Crash was originally written as a video game script (and it shows.)

I enjoyed snow crash probably up until 2/3rds through, same with cryptonomicon. I truly wish he would stick a god damn landing. I don't know what happens after the halfway marks. I…

Any sufficiently large (preexisting) codebase has subtlties and "load bearing" bugs that allow it to function. In my personal experience, the vibe coded solutions are incapable of …

I've been pulled into these 90% done vibe-coded projects several times now to "get them over the line" and all I have to say is I wouldn't wish it on my greatest enemy.

PCA (using eigenvectors for dimensionsional reduction) is kinda like moving the axis from an x/y/z grid and onto the shape itself. So it's not 2d in the sense of a simple projectio…

Using PCA on 3d shapes is a proven method for identification. It's nothing like phrenology aside from both involving morphology. Former actually works, latter does not.

Maybe I'm just not tapped into the community but I've been a ruby developer going on 6 years now and I find debugging ruby apps no better or worse than any other languages I've wor…

How does this microvm/sbx compare to lima (what Colima uses)?

I thought they were already heading in that direction with the single window mode merging. But ok sure I guess they'll never change anything because a sister project existed 2 deca…

How do we get this into mainline GIMP? As a GIMP user since it existed, I can say that the default interface "works" but the ux isn't great. This looks like a marked improvement an…

I'm so fucking tired of jumping ship with these password vault providers. This will be my third jump in so many years. Exactly what value do they think they have left to extract fr…
