Normally, I select a face and add a datum plane. It's button is in the toolbar with a the datum point and datum line buttons in light blue iirc. That said, since v1.0, I've had far…

Wasn't there a storage device some Years ago (decade plus) that was RAM strapped to a PCI-E card with the electronics to present the RAM as a storage device?

Micro mobility is amazing if you live in an area that is at all accommodating. I started using an electric scooter to go get lunch when weather isn't intolerable. It's harder with …

There are numerous documented examples of where chat LLMs have either subtly agreed with a user's suicidal thoughts or outright encouraged suicide. Here is just one: https://www.cn…

Or, use a service that lets you generate an address for each business you deal with or use case you have so you can treat them as disposable. After chasing down spammers and compan…

For me as someone that would potentially be interested in and qualified for one of these roles, the DOGE actions earlier this year and ongoing firing of nonpartisan & non-appointed…

In my head, it'll be like the high pressure timeshare sales pitches or the dreaded car sales transactions, where they pull out all the tricks to convince you to buy something you d…

Just a heads up that PC Engines is winding down. The chip they use in the APU2 is EOL, and they've decided to shut down altogether. https://pcengines.ch/eol.htm

Does the Reduce Transparency option in Accessibility remove the drop shadow? If it does, I'd expect it to be all windows, but might satisfy your desire here.

I usually do the same, but not always. And I believe clicking through is a behavior of a minority of people and interactions, judging by the click through rate drops sites have see…

> Again, every generation thinks that. > This time might be different. But it's probably not. And this is an appeal to tradition. This article[1] from 2024 discusses this the studi…

The check script I've been recommending is here: https://github.com/tkafka/detect-electron-apps-on-mac About half of the apps I use regularly have been fixed. Some might never be f…

In advance, sort of. The devices can be swapped around at basically any time. There's a little lag for a device to get the config update enabling Mullvad on it IME, usually 30 seco…

They don't need to share a single cert. Multiple certificates can be, and possibly should, issued for the same address (or set of addresses). This means that one front door server …

The narrative climax to the human story around climate change has yet to happen. Assuming we continue on the current trajectory, expect riots and wars over food and clean water, po…

I've nearly given up on using containers on macOS for development at work, because I frequently need to test amd64-only containers. One deviation from our production (Linux on x86_…

I'm curious whether the community will trust Redis-the-company again after this, or if they'll choose to stick with Valkey. The other concern is at least some big company legal dep…

From what I gather, anything they've saved is going to tax cuts for wealthier Americans and increased military spending. The 90% of folks at the lower end are getting tax increases…

One thing I have been considering for my immediate family, and possibly my parents, is setting up a small MDM. This seems more in line with allowing power users to do powerful thin…

Yes. Also, nscd is irrelevant in at least a few ecosystems. Java and (I think) Go try to do their own resolving instead of using libc. Java's resolver, in particular, is braindead …

Amdahl's Law is one of my favorite things from college. It's general principle, optimize the largest parts of a project for the biggest impact, is applicable across more than just …

While I have no information here, I'd bet/conspiracy theorize that Tesla is looking to maintain exclusivity/low-ish congestion of its Supercharger sites for as long as possible, an…

Single-use scenarios would be my first thought, especially food containers and utensils from food vendors. I would think places where wood is, or could reasonably be, employed migh…

I agree with the difficulty of Starlark. I worked with Starlark a couple years ago to build some non-trivial things, which included writing custom Starlark providers. It was a giga…
