Browsers intentionally add jitter to timing methods like setTimeout and setInterval to avoid fingerprinting and other side channel style attacks. When I've messed with building in-…

CSS suffers from one of its original design tenants in that it's very easy to throw some shit at the wall and kind of get it working without fully understanding it. This is especia…

Those are pretty wild accusations from someone who doesn't know me or my beliefs. I definitely have not been calling for those things, especially not through the lens of religion. …

They would be liars, then.

There's disagreement then there's being an outspoken supporter of systematically trying to strip rights away from others because of your religious beliefs. It's much deeper than ha…

love this, in a similar vein real heads will remember The Echo Nest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Echo_Nest

These are super cool and I've never seen one before! I'd imagine most of the passes I'm in are within spitting distance of at least one town so powering a substation isn't out of t…

One of my favorite games when traveling is spotting the iconic horn antennas that are still in operation or the various towers that were a part of it. A good chunk of the site are …

It is so disappointing; I started getting into photography over the past few years, shooting rolls of film here and there and need some basic library management tools to track my s…

It's honestly incredible they're bringing this to market! This style of incubator tends to work on a lofty goal and the research and ideas explored on the way trickle down into oth…

If speaking strictly in terms of audio effects this is a delay, with "echo" usually implying feedback so the delayed signal is attenuated and fed back into the delay line, getting …

Very similar in theory to Bob Widlar's legendary "hassler" circuit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Widlar#Personality

Yes and no, and the answer will depend a little bit on your background. It's Rust, and the learning curve around that still exists. The HAL does a very good job at papering over so…

Fond memories of a job circa 2013 on a very large Rails app where CI times were sped up by a factor of 10 when someone realized bcrypt was misconfigured when running tests and slow…

This is exactly how I feel; I'd love a switch that performs like the modern apple keyboards. Anytime I've dipped my toe into mechanical keyboard waters I've lost speed and accuracy…

I've always viewed computers as being an obvious complement. Of course we worked so hard to build machines that are good at the things our brains don't take to as naturally.

All of this and the only image linked is a collage clocking in at a whopping 512x218px...anyone know where we can see the full resolution? It looks spectacular from the thumbnail!

Labor is a factor but it helps to have the insane manufacturing synergies they have where almost all of the parts are made down the road from you.

Macs still have target disk mode but it requires rebooting. Highly recommend using thunderbolt to transfer over to a new computer!

To be fair, this is the case with any styling approach; if the style is applied to the element, it's there for you to toy with in the inspector.

But you have recourse! It’s not ideal, but it beats being at the mercy of a vendor in most cases. Trying to hack around a closed source format is an even bigger drain.

100%, there's weeks I just plug straight into an amp because that feels right! At the end of the day it's great to have options.

Just like real life I have a tidy put together functional board, then a disturbing spaghetti mess tucked away in a corner that few are allowed to see

> Like a few good sounding pedals that, ideally, each have just a knob or two. It makes for a nice narrative but I haven't found it holds much water; musicians are all over the pla…
