Cool, and something I’ve been curious about (the civil engineering and math involved from earlier representations). I want the logic behind the notation, though. I assume there’s a…

I've recovered some systems I b0rked by dding from a healthy system or a livedisk to a machine I updated incorrectly, I could have tried just copying from the disk fine and figured…

I tried installing SteamOS on a couple machines last week. One pain point is that their install scripts are just that - non interactive scripts that are designed for gaming handhel…

I drink 3 moka pots each morning and usually one in the afternoon. I don’t have Parkinson’s right now, but for all I know I am pre diagnosis…. I have been getting tingling feelings…

Wow I have been mixing 5g of creatine in my morning for the past several months, this is terrifying.

If you use a trailing slash on the source it copies from the directory, if you omit the trailing slash it copies the directory itself. AFAIK this is pretty standard across POSIX to…

2033: Star Citizen buys SpaceX for 4.2 trillion, easier to just give people the real thing than do another refactor

I am only amateur level with scheme but these are common to other scheme implementations. SRFIs are semi-standardized core libraries that work mostly the same in all implementation…

Colliding tanks full of oxidizer and fuel?

Well they can be both. And the tourism money ends up in Israel

There’s no in and out privileges to get ice elsewhere, so the organization coordinates huge ice shipments into the event. All the proceeds from the ice and coffee sales benefit the…

I don’t see them as selfless I see them as unintelligent.

No, analog in that they shoot in film, an analog chemical reaction - not digital

I’ve been wanting to build one of these for awhile. Did you follow a plan/blog or design your own? I already have donor instax and Polaroid bodies not sure what to put it as a back…

Pinhole cameras can be nothing but a soda can and a hole in it. Large format and some medium format folding camera shutter lens units just need a round hole to slip into and all th…

Credentialism to prevent discussion of political and government entities is incredibly dangerous

I wouldn’t say it is obvious. Apple does not have the monopoly of ARM based PCs. Labeling it as a monopoly of M chips is not fair or accurate when comparing to MS on Intel. It’s al…

This style/format is really easy to follow along with, great blog writing. Separately I’ve been messing with some filesystem stuff so it’s interesting to me.

Often but not always. Sometimes you’re just working with proxies directly, audio mixing and the like. VFX workflows, finishing will be online full res often. But even so everybody …

Forced to take on the extra revenue? There’s been political attacks on USPS but don’t blame junk mail on that. I don’t think USPS even has a choice on the junk mail, as long as it’…

Why should it be law? I am a developer in California, and a long time Linux nerd. If I were to release a hobby on my GitHub for fun, without age verification, am I now subject to f…

This was a major influence for me, both getting into single speed and fixed gear biking before the craze, and building geo cities sites with my friends in high school

I was pretty early to Gmail, I paid $5 for an invite to the beta, and secured my first(.)last@gmail.com. But now I pay for my own domain and my own hosted email just to avoid any c…

>What we just saw at Davos with Greenland reveals the actual pattern: the theatrics are the tool, not the objective. The erratic behavior generates uncertainty, which then gets con…

Anecdotal but I was talking to a recruiter about a role in Apple last week, and then was told they are doing a total hiring freeze until at least the new year. There was also a bit…
