I cut a couple open recently, and the legs are actually hollow. No honeycomb. The top ~40mm and bottom 15mm are wood composite plugs, and the center is air. The skin is about 2.5mm…

Breadth-First Search or Depth-First Search, I think. It took me too long to guess those initialisms.

You also don't need a collapsible steering column, as there is no steering column.

He doesn't just spring them on the reader. Each exercise has a difficulty label. Level 50, IIRC, is for unsolved questions.

The RFC was written in 1990. Very few computers were cattle then.

Is pbrt a viable replacement? (I don't know; I've looked at it but never tried to produce art with it.) https://www.pbrt.org/

If you want 100 pieces hassle-free, you should probably use a printing service. The service's pricing accurately reflects the hassle they'll endure on your behalf. (They ain't chea…

Fixed in under three hours. Once again, the front page of HN is the most effective bug reporting mechanism.

I'd say, "Congratulations! You're one of today's luck 10,000!", but trigraphs aren't really much fun. Just another reminder that C is old, and computing is even older. I've used up…

Demucs did a much better job of isolating the bass on a blues track than LALAL. The bass actually sounded like a bass. LALAL got the note pitches but lost their attacks.

Earlier this week I bought a COOFUN GK41 with two Gbit Ethernet ports for $160. That included 8 GB ram and 120 GB SSD. It arrived yesterday, and I haven't installed OPNsense on it …
