Yeah. I know what DMARC does, I run a mail server, but I thought it might be an interesting blog post nonetheless. It was very very obviously generated text, and not particularly i…

Isn't Deepseek V4 Flash still like 150+ GB even at Q4?

I was going to say, sounds like my college experience decades later. Still a very congested laser link, and I had a headless minitower instead of a rack (though I wasn't a CS stude…

> I could write a lot about why you don’t want to use Catmull-Rom splines for roads. I would read this essay, and share it with my friends.

The lack of a black iPhone 17 Pro... has me dumbfounded. I might skip this year. I'm really happy with the camera features, but there's less differentiation between base iPhone 17 …

For those like me who wanted to hunt down the linkrotted article: https://web.archive.org/web/20201108182313/http://atomicdeli...

Whoa, I had that card (or one very much like it). I remember that cursed not-PS2 port especially.

Ugh, I wish I could read it but as I'm working in this space professionally reading GPLv3 code is... risky. Been working in 2D with bezier implementation for our in-house CAD kerne…

I wish this article recognized that there is a cost to maintaining the grid, both in transmission infrastructure, but also in maintaining the dispatchable generation capacity to sm…

This was my immediate thought when I saw the ring light. Very very likely a CRI of 90 or below, which doesn’t even weight much in red shades. Not uncommon to see 92 CRI with a R9 (…

Not a typical orange. “Sumo Citrus” / dekopon / shiranui is a hybrid tangor/tangerine cross. Very fragile, specialty fruit, only recently available at scale in the eastern US. This…

As I deployed Starlink in an extremely obstructed spot last year for a few weeks, where multi-second dropouts were quite common... it impressed me JUST HOW MANY satellites they hav…

less specifically like OP's, but a really great product that I and a bunch of my coworkers use: the 'Ultimate Hacking Keyboard' 60 (typically referred to as a UHK). I have mine wit…

I have two UHKs, one at work and one in my home office, and I got my second one with blank keycaps. It's very satisfying. At this point I'm very happy with UHK's layout and feature…

They haven't updated those predictions publicly in a little while. Definitely a huge setback from Rolls-Royce dropping out, and putting together the coalition that's developing the…

Probably optimism talking, but I'd put Boom's chances of bringing to market an airliner capable of supersonic travel at equal-to-first-class-ticket-prices at 60%. Now I'd put their…

Their business model for a long time has theorized that they can deliver an operating cost that would allow airlines to offer tickets at roughly current business class ticket costs…

now if only I could find someone making a similarly bad decision. I've been looking to upgrade to a midrange KEF stereo pair. :)

I assumed the OP was eliding that high-frequency circuits and interfaces are notorious for EM/RF noise.

This is my experience as well... I have a very broad music taste but with some main themes. I find Spotify's algorithm (11 years of Premium) to regularly surface things I'll like, …

Salisbury Cathedral (highest medieval spire surviving in the UK, at 404 feet!) was built on a floodplain close to the river, with shallow foundations only four feet deep. But the p…

Utterly questionable.

I don't love Moist the way I do Sam Vimes, but the last handful of Industrial Revolution-themed Discworld novels are among my favorites. Maybe it's because I'm a software developer…

The role of ENG video is not precisely the same thing as digital cinema, though there's some overlap. I remember a lot of indie filmmakers in that era struggling to shoot for cinem…

5k for an EPIC-X? Wild. Good thing that that's not local to me, or my bank account would be complaining.
