We should build a drone system that attaches to the underbelly of planes and physically pulls the gear down

I wrote a few scripts to help people study the orbits of the first five planets and moons with Stellarium. Here's one that is supposed to simulate a TV station that is on an hourly…

You might find my orbit-diagrams repo interesting: https://github.com/jasonincanada/orbit-diagrams It's a way to render function application/composition in 3D. In particular you'd …

I wonder if this explains how I almost never see the minutes click over on a digital clock. I think of how often I check the time, say maybe 1 second at a time staring at the clock…

I have a repo with six sample algorithms of increasing complexity: https://github.com/jasonincanada/stm-haskell

There used to be a keyboard called Optimizr produced by a company called Matias: https://matias.ca/optimizer/ It hardware-mapped the CapsLock key to be a modifier for a bunch of ot…

I embraced grep as my preferred cheating method for Wordle, then I whipped up a quick Docker image with a few scripts to make the deed easier: https://hub.docker.com/r/jasonincanad…

I just coded an example usage of this monad last week: https://github.com/jasonincanada/kattis/blob/master/src/Pivo... This tests each element of a list to see if it's a pivot, mea…

I wrote some scripts that let you tour the solar system on an hourly loop: https://github.com/jasonincanada/stellarium-scripts

It's scriptable! I took far too many hours of staring and pondering to come up with a set of scripts for new astronomers to get a sense of the size and duration of the solar system…

My .vimrc is fairly simple: https://github.com/jasonincanada/dot-files/blob/master/.vimr...

Surely you didn't mean too but the correct tense of "get" on you're sentence would be "gets"

"So I just tell this thing what to do and it does it a million times faster than I ever could? Yep, I want to be able to do this"

Technically 100M kelvins

Apparently part 2 is interactive and his patreon supporters already have access to it

I've been using Dvorak for about 20 years and am still happy with it, so I have no plans to switch to another layout or back to qwerty. My qwerty speed and accuracy have suffered a…

I use dvorak full-time on my desktop PC, but I never bothered to switch my cell phone key layout so it's still qwerty, and I send a few texts a day. I don't even notice the change …

I recently did a homework assignment as the first step in an application process, and I didn't find it inappropriate or untoward at all. It's certainly not abusive, I don't underst…

The web client is down here in Ontario but my rainbowstream feed is still going. @AP tweeted a minute ago about Morocco's 2026 world cup bid.

Great review of the game, and doesn't even mention the built-in solitaire game, Sigmar's Garden, which is a fun game in and of itself, set in the same hex grid you play on in the m…

I've thought about this, are patent offices even needed anymore? We used to need the centralized store of timestamps--proof of who thought of what idea first. Since you can check y…

I rolled my own solution a couple years ago: https://gridpass.io/ Your master password is remembered visually , instead of as an arbitrary string. My contention is that you're less…
