Downpour, most audiobooks are drm free and they have an audible-like subscription thing.

I gave this a go about 3 years ago when the hackday project[1] first got published, it turns out choosing the parameters is _very_ disc dependent, since every disc is a little bit …

As much as it was a meme, I really did see a split in what folks enjoyed between Doom and Animal Crossing during covid, and they basically boiled down to the same thing: yeah, this…

makemkv->mkv->handbrake->mp4 is pretty straightforward for saving media, especially if you don't mess with handbrake much (I just use one settings profile for everything). _Playing…

Holding down one arrow key and only pressing the other makes directional changes much quicker, since the second press overrides but doesn't cancel the first. Very fun!

Hitting a semester in college where I just couldn't keep up the way I was used to (A's and B's by default). It was the first time I had to manage my workload and purposefully do a …

Low risk, but never say never. Hilary in 2023 caused a bunch of flooding in SoCal and the NHC sent out a tropical storm warning, but with the California Current keeping the water c…

And for some more in depth discussion on the models and weather patterns while still being accessible, tropical tidbits released an outlook video this week https://youtu.be/QFID_jf…

Stuff: toss it if you don't have a clear, exact reason to keep it. It's nice to have things, and if you have room for them and it doesn't cost much keep them, but otherwise it's _j…

> includes an actual, physical, hardware Gameboy Advance CPU That's an old trick (though no less cool). The GBA had a GBC cpu in it for backwards compatibility, and it used a physi…

my thought reading this quote was: If you squint and turn it sideways, that's a solver function. Sure enough, slightly higher in the article: > “We use a circular reference in Exce…

for taking a computational fluids approach, I think yes, you're largely correct. Hurricanes have a class of models that are parametric, where you can get a 2 dimensional wind footp…

Yep, for my purposes I tend to use pngs for simplicity, but the next step would be GeoTIFF

Hurricanes specifically are pretty friendly to relatively simple 2 dimensional models, since for the most part people care about the wind impacting the surface. So for that I've us…

I'm in the same boat, good with be and infra, mediocre at best with fe (I've accepted that I just don't enjoy it much). I've taken to very minimal UIs in just vanilla js, html, and…

I'd love to have this, but I see two near insurmountable problems for most teams: - velocity metrics go down and timelines stretch, because effort is "wasted" on things that don't …

- If I'm using it for fun, learning, or testing it out: I'll probably self host it, I already have a server and enjoy that. - If any of my friends use it who don't do self hosting …

To pile on the examples, I had a Comcast connection in SF that was 1gbit down, 5mbit up during covid (based on regular speed tests and what little I could glean from the plans with…

Just read the Kotaku article it links to, PC gamer isn't adding anything that I see. https://kotaku.com/blizzard-diablo-iv-world-warcraft-remote-...

postgres just because I'm more familiar with it, and the extension ecosystem (TimescaleDB, PostGIS, etc etc). That said, I'm not going to be sad with MySQL, though I'd probably go …

Ha, timely, as vanced appears to have finally stopped working for me today. I dunno if there's an update or successor yet, but time to figure that out or cough up for premium I gue…
