Oh shit! Thanks for the heads up! All fixed now, might have to hard refresh if it's cached!

Yeah it's super stable! The front edge of the laptop makes it a stable triangle. Because the stand locks in solidy you can even grab the macbook and move it around no problem. Than…

I designed a tiny collapsible laptop stand that fits in your pocket and weighs less than a AA battery. It props up the back of your MacBook (or most laptops with a rear lip), and a…

I was a tile installer in a previous life, and occasionally a customer would make the dreaded request to have an accent tile placed 'randomly' throughout a backsplash. They were ne…

Thanks listening now :)

I had a mushroom trip that made this all make sense (at the time). The gist of it was, there was never nothing. Nothing is a made up concept. It's deeply valuable, but there is no …

Would like to mention the Quantum Thief trilogy by Hannu Rajaniemi. These books are very dense with interesting concepts. In one section, the people who live on Mars have a privacy…

Consciousness may not have anything to do with AGI. Besides, we haven't as a species defined consciousness in a consistent and coherent way. It may be an illusion or a word game. A…

Well there's no mechanical IPD adjustment, so if you have very wide or narrow set eyes, it will not work well for you. The LCD screen don't have the deeper blacks of the OLED scree…

Is this whole "question" really just a mental exercise, like the trolley problem? Surely the more salient question is how much senseless death could be prevented by the adoption of…

You must be from the US, Liberia or Myanmar.

There's quite a few differences. The terminal of the t and the a are similar, but the perfectly round bowls and O are much more like Futura. Helvetica (basically the font from CAH)…

I got a cease and desist for a extension that improved the look of Craigslist. I just ignored it, I've never had to talk to a lawyer or anything. But that's my situation, I underst…

The fairly standard elementary school my daughter attends has little to no screen time. I'm more likely to play with 3d modelling software or Minecraft with my daughter at home - i…

Because there's a chapter where they cut off the whales penis, skin it, turn it inside out and wear it as a robe. Everyone thought that was hilarious, but they had to pretend they …

It is brilliant... but I think it's a false dichotomy. I'm sure code can be clever and easy to debug. If it's designed in a way that is impossible to debug is it really that clever…

She didn't really have any friends who were girls when she was small. She was just interested in that stuff. Additionally, I have a three year old daughter who is very not interest…

My daughter is six. I never wanted her to be interested in things that were traditionally gendered - but she just is. I would buy neutral toys, but her eyes would light up when she…

Wow sounds like whoever engineered that checksum was a missy elliot fan: https://xkcd.com/153/

Good piece, other than the Grammarly product placement that stood out like a sore thumb

These 3d perspective drawings are much less convincing in real life than they are in images, because in real life we have depth perception and our viewpoint is constantly moving. T…

Wow I've been doing EXACTLY the same game with my daughters! They have to tell me to go and stop and turn and stop, and if they don't say stop I walk into a wall and they laugh and…
