Sadly, Microsoft 365 is not “pixel perfect” compared to word. I often run into headaches where line numbers are different between the two and content ends up on different pages. If…

I agree with you on the Casio fx-115ES Plus 2nd Edition. I picked one up two years ago for $11.41. It naturally writes out equations, has a backspace and is generally excellent. I …

I’ve spent many hours using Basilisk II.

It reminds me of around 2002 when Microsoft named everything ".net".

iOS seems to mute the web audio apis when the phone is in silent mode (the switch on the side of the phone). If you toggle it on, then this site (and many others) play sound. I hav…

That .zig-cache seems massive to me. I keep mine on a tmpfs and remove it every time the tmpfs is full. Do you see any major problems when you remove your .zig-cache and start over…

After implementing a number of dithering approaches, including blue noise and the three line approach used in modern games, I’ve found that quasi random sequences give the best res…

How do you update the software in the containers when new versions come out or vulnerabilities are actively being exploited? My understanding is that when using containers updating…

Thank you! I’ll have to take a look.

I recommend starting here: https://youtu.be/nKCT-Cdk0xY Once you understand and use this approach, you can figure out most other approaches you need to use.

Thank you for the description of CBC. I'm curious about it and your thinking on how to track things over time and see what has surprised us since we got started. It is useful to no…

Ok, I'll bite. From the article I can't really figure out what collaborating by contract (CBC) is, how it works in practice or how to introduce it to an organization. A search in G…

It sounds like you've got something specific in mind when you say, "modeling". The term modeling is used in a lot of different situations to mean different things. For example, it …

Thanks for that! Here is a longer video about the scanimate, including demos of a currently working machine and an interview with an operator and an engineer. https://youtu.be/i1aT…

Yes and no. The H-1B visa is "dual intent" [1] and you are allowed to apply for and receive a green card (permanent resident card) while on an H-1B. After 5 years with permanent re…

Yes. Most MacBooks used in businesses don’t have an iCloud account associated with them. The store doesn’t work, but that doesn’t seem to be an issue. Downloading and installing ap…

That sounds interesting. Can you say a little more about how this works?

Motion sickness in Far Cry is why I stopped playing first person or any 3D games. It has taken about 20 years before I seriously tried again and figured out that with higher frame …

I have a DM42 and have had it a few years. I haven’t had to replace the battery yet. There are times when I used it everyday, and times I leave it sitting on the shelf for months. …

Wouldn’t two symbols with a 1:1 ratio have four possible bit patterns for two bits? (00,01,10,11) With the ratio only happening on average over a large number of bits? Id there rea…

Is the microsd card holder like this one? https://www.printables.com/model/691366-apple-watch-wristban...

Thanks for the reply! I think I've figured out why I couldn't get any of the examples to run. I was using the debug build rather than the release build. Take sqrt.candy for example…

Thanks! I’ll give Matrix a go. It is fun packaging software up and getting it out there.

I have take a weakness for languages like Candy. A word of warning for those eager to dive in like myself. Candy seems to require a nightly build of Rust from 2024-02-22 (that's tw…
