Have you ever combined KSP with the coding instruction using either kOS[1] or kRPC[2]? 1. https://ksp-kos.github.io/KOS_DOC/ 2. https://krpc.github.io/krpc/

EDIT: This was caused by using an old version uv (0.7.3) updating with `uv self update` to the latest version (0.11.2) resolved it. Original message below: While the first form see…

My understanding is they used to be fairly strict about using a set for 2 weeks before changing, but research has shown very little difference in outcomes down to 1 week. There is …

Just to avoid confusion, while SMB as used above may be referring to the owner it typically means "Small and/or Medium Business". Where what counts as small and medium varies a bit…

Yes, Apple, Windows, Amazon, Shell, Target, Dove, Ivory, Tide, Polo. (With help from Claude completing the list)

Well if you ask it to show you the seahorse emoji it tries really hard. :) https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQtMw_d7bf061f-2999-46b6-a7fb-58... Although it does eventually come to the r…

It would be really nice if something said what the actual problem was. The last commit[0] is a fix for date parsing to bring it in line with the GNU semantics, which seems like a p…

Sadly the 6000 mile antenna never got built, but they did get a few tens of mile long ones built. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Sanguine

The 650 main memory was a drum; but what IBM called Random Access Memory (and RAM) for this machine was a hard drive. As described in the Manual of Operation linked above. Here are…

Given that the actual vulnerability seems relatively niche along with it being such a popular library officially maintained by the Python foundation, the scariest line in the advis…

Just a clarifying note, Craig Reynolds is the original researcher for Boids, and he did have a Java applet implementation in the above page. But the original Boids simulation was f…

I'm pretty positive that is showing the reverse, i.e. how much a given "location" is moving using gps coordinates. Not adjusting the gps coordinates to refer to a constant "locatio…

For those further interested in PEG vs LL(1) parsers. The first few sections of the Python PEP[1] where they switched from an LL(1) to PEG parser for CPython has a nice short intro…

The current 4h12m hour record is for 100% (where you have to get every single achievement in the game, in the one run), any% (where you just need to launch a rocket) is under 2 hou…

If the PRNG is good enough then shipping floppies full of PRNG output is very much unnecessary. Simply send the seeds used to initialize the PRNG thereby fitting many (~180k of the…

FYI, the original freenet can now apparently be found under the name hyphanet[1]. Although it seems there has been no activity since the rename happened almost a year ago? 1. https…

Let's make up some numbers, say 98% commit a single murder and 2% commit 20 leaving an average of 1.38. If the new system stops every murderer after the first one, the number of mu…

It seems that this has been in syncthing about 2.5 years[1], is there something that changed recently to make this notable now? [1] Initial release behind a feature flag in 1.15 on…

From the article: Nishimura, which has the scientific name C/2023 P1, will pass closest to the sun on 17 September. Closest to the sun, not earth. Also, while not an area I have mu…

For those wanting to try this out note that the download links in this post are still giving the previous Bullseye (11.7) release at the moment.

Yep, definitely right there with you on this one. Every time I think oh this will be an interesting blast from the past, followed by bah, get off my lawn...
