BEAM very much falls into the same camp as the author's description of Scratch does at the beginning of the article. You have a lot more granular control than Scratch, of course, b…

Raccoon Tycoon is great for 2-5 and I can’t recommend it enough.

Stan Honey other claim to fame (other than being literally the best yacht navigator, probably ever) was founding Sportsvision, the company that created the yellow 1st down line you…

I keep my rpi in a pelican case that I modified to include an opening port for the NMEA connection. It gets all its power/data from the single connection which has a mechanical con…

This is not a strong justification. If you switched out "arabic words and imagery" for say "blackface" would it still hold? There was a time where seeing non-white actors in film w…

This is true but if you add in some game scripts or download specific scenarios and add in the FIRS resource packs (with much more complicated supply chains) it can be quite challe…

I remember seeing this one and an ocaml versions while back. https://gist.github.com/ttesmer/948df432cf46ec6db8c1e83ab59b...

Most of all models are resolved in some sort of projected space. It depends on the model (e.g GFS uses an inflated cube, the ICON global from dwd is projected on to an icosahedron,…

Wouldn’t an allusion to 20th century American poetry fall into the category of “curiosity satisfying”? Given they were not the only person who got the reference it feels kind of ar…

Dunno why this was downvoted, I came here to make a similar comment about the possible Wallace Steven’s reference.

Did anyone else click this link hoping it was an article about Pete Weber’s incoherent yelling?

Obviously every time it starts it becomes so traumatized by the events of the Butlerian Jihad that it simply can’t continue :-p

I wouldn’t discount AMD just yet. They closed quite a big gap in the server cpu market against Intel, most probably due to better leadership and management. I wouldn’t be surprised…

I love Elixir! One of the main reasons I haven’t been able to sell it as much was it’s lack of good numerical computational support, but with the release of nx now getting to a ver…

I'm having issues with it loading in Safari (14.1.2) on OS X, but it seems to be loading fine with Firefox (111.0.1) for me. Its pretty zippy too, and this computer is no spring ch…

> Gmail doesn't charge me $850/year for an email address, but somehow they managed to avoid people squatting thousands of addresses and selling them on the after-market at an exorb…

sure anyone can do it, but it takes a lot of computers to do it at a reasonable refresh rate. HRRR is 3km and available for free. no super computers required by the end user. then …

I agree, this generally left me feeling skeptical. I know of Luca Delle Monache on the advisory team, through colleagues who have researched under him at Scripps and they spoke hig…

Given this is in the SF bay there a number of high quality observations that you can use to validate the forecast skill (unlike India and Africa). I have not bothered doing this he…

I do the same thing, but insist on calling all regular weekends "short weekends" and holiday weekends "regular weekends" or just "weekends". My hope is this catches on and we start…

Probably not, but cruising is likely cheaper than you expect and (if you are currently living in a major US city) significantly cheaper than your current situation. Everyone has di…

Yes, usually, but it depends on the country. On top of normal travel visa you also need to make sure your boat is documented from the country of origin and often are required to pa…

most objects like this I have passed in the water seem to be made of some sort of painted steel. I think this is a good combination of durability vs economical. I suspect your elec…

I was not familiar with these grades, very interesting reading and finding out about them. The most common grades of stainless I have encountered in the marine industry is either 3…

Yes this was in the Atlantic. I saw quite a few in Bermuda. I’m not sure if they migrate or just live there full time. Either way it was strange and I often wonder how it got there…
