This is a good article and a fun algorithm. Google made a great series of compression videos a while ago - albeit sometimes silly. For the Burrows-Wheeler one they interviewed Mike…

We’ve been talking about this for a while, but it’s always fun to revisit in the context of the latest advancements and trends. I always liked the conclusion that Dustin Curtis cam…

No it isn’t.

This is really cool! Thanks for making it. I'm going to try it out today with my UV-PRO. I'd be curious to learn how you go about reversing the protocol. That'd make a really inter…

And then “fat man” came out and that’s all I ever thought of when I saw the logo. https://www.suckatlife.com/pepsiLogoBlowatlife.html

Looks more like a clutch to me. The domain is available. It’s not to late to change names.

Akiyuki makes infrequent videos, but beautiful LEGO machines. https://youtube.com/@akiyuky

Thanks, I didn’t realize I get these articles with my Apple News subscription.

Yes, depending on the team. We have a legacy Elixir backend that we’ve been breaking into services written in Go. We also have a couple of newer Elixir services. We’d love Elixir e…

Some people have done this, but you need to transplant at least the CPU from an original. Those chips weren’t built for anyone else. https://www.reddit.com/r/Gameboy/s/FEAH2VhBRT F…

Thanks for making those videos. I really enjoyed watching them earlier this year. I’ve been getting into making games, restoring, and collecting Game Boys.

Rash guards are halfway between a wetsuit and a sun shirt. I have one for surfing, but I got the kids wetsuits because Flathead Lake can be cold as well as sunny. They have more fu…

I’ve started to minimize my use of sunscreen. It still important to stay protected from the sun, but long sleeves, hoods, hats, and pants are a great alternative. The lightweight s…

It’s a data driven decision. They a/b tested and found users were more interested in clicking on ads when images were lazy loaded.

Of course this isn’t really monumental, but it can be hard to understand history if you’re looking at it through a modern lens. Humor was different, and this phrase was not in the …

Thanks for the reply, and the info on Weblate too. I’ll check it out the next time I need a localized site. Looks like a nice tool.

That's fun! It also likely serves a real purpose. It lets English-only speakers test that localization is working and available for every text element.

It’s funny, I first thought the game was going to be a commentary on the “no mechanical transport in the wilderness” rule that he mentioned at the end. You cannot have a bicycle in…

Exactly what I do, but with a 5", 20x25" MERV 16 filter. I run two of these on box fans when it's smokey in the summer, and it works very well. Box fans do get loud though.

It is so annoying! Slack in particular. I screenshot and then copy. Feels like a waste of compute as well as a hassle.

What matters to sailors with respect to the wind is the angle which it meets the boat or the orientation of the boat with regard to the direction of the wind. For that there are de…

It comes down to trademarks. ICANN has a dispute resolution process if someone else registered a domain for which you have an applicable trademark. https://www.icann.org/resources/…

I usually would, but I actually didn’t find it tacky in this article up until the end where the article mentioned they were so impressed that they upgraded their own boat. That was…

My kids really enjoyed Minecraft: The Island by Max Brooks. They already liked Minecraft, and the book was a fun read. For a 4yo, I think anything that you read with him is great. …

I’ve been happy with Google’s Firebase Hosting. It’s confusing branding, but almost a drop in replacement. https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting
