Case in point: minidisc :) Recording was the killer feature for me. I recorded thousands of hours of band rehearsals with their stereo omni mics and the media quality.

Planning wood, expect during kezuroukai, is annoying because knots are hard and deform the thin edge; most often still wet enough to oxydize the thin edge; finally full of abrasive…

France. I know my city workers use them to clean the streets in autumn. Wet leaves are slipery. Then people mostly use rakes AFAIK, or the lawn mower. Though I know some tools, suc…

You can find all the problems of Software in Woodworking, except that sometimes, using an axe is a legal and well-suited move.

I don't know, my experience with mega SLOC projects were Java, so verbosity was also a thing. Go's verbosity is usually found in multiples (if err), not in long forms (int[] arrayO…

Some google meet features are chrome only (background blur, picture in picture). I can't say I have noticed much else, so I use chrome for gsuite and firefox for everything else ¯\…

To be fair, most million plus LOC projects match “misfortune” and “nightmare”.

Early 2024 :/

Very common in France if you ever drive by. Usually sold as a small 30cm^3 plant which will probably grown up to 1.5m in diameter the first year. I used to have 7 in 12m2. It’s als…

The brought-in-for-some-purpose, escape-to-bush, become-feral, become-pest worked also for cats, dogs, horses ... up-to camels. I am not aware of Australian Feral Elephants but it …

Nice one. There have been so many nice CLI tools these last 10 years. Quality of life kind of nice. ag/rg, fzf, entr, up, lf... Go and rust have been appreciated enablers, even tho…

... then however, how do you feel about tech debt with Rust? My feeling was that go, rust and such left a lighter burden on the future than say ruby. Do you think you will need a m…

Maybe 15 years ago or so, I wrote the original “useless gaps” patch for dwm, because it felt packed, especially between different window styles (terminal, web browser, file manager…

Yes and yes. A simple naturally aspirated engine takes bio-ethanol/e85 just fine, though the benefits seem limited to fewer fine particles, with comparable carbon emissions but a m…

Hmm. Between Finagle and Hanson, I chose Hanlon. It would have been a shame for this coffee to go stale. Oh, “roasted in July”, so Finagle then.

I live in Paris, went to Wales this summer, found the relative lack of roadsigns very nice, came back to Paris, found the overabundance of roadsigns uglier than before, went to Pra…

Apple has deep pockets and good lawyers. High reward, low probability. A judge may decide whether malice or stupidity led to the release of such commoditized trackers. I feel like …

> Wider open aperture, more light on the sensor, more blur outside of the focus area. / shallower depth of field

As much as I like e-ink and DIY projects, those "weather displays" or "smart mirrors" always feel like a wasteful solution to a non-problem. Fun hacks in 2022 should be bottom draw…
