When I did it, I closed the door at nautical twilight. The key is that you need to close the door after the chickens roost but before the nocturnal predators come out.

Had something similar to this with the kids with Lego Duplo tracks, similar topology but the switches gave the system state. Going "backwards" through a switch set the train to ret…

Depends on if you’re wearing a wing suit or not.

What’s more, they will scale up with increased resources on the site. If you redline at 20 searches a sec, and put in 4 more workers, suddenly you’re serving 100r/sec to the bots, …

I think Jurassic Park was pretty similar craziness. Definitely pushing the CGI aspect, and super super popular.

First generation powerbooks, the 140/170, were amazin keyboards. The 100, not so much.

I bought 2 M13s (one black, one beige, the one with the builtin track point) in Seattle thrift stores in the early 2000's, one was $5 and one was $10. At one point, other copies we…

From my son's experience in calisthenics and looking around at the group he sometimes trains with, there are definitely a lot of overload/overuse injuries, at a range from just nee…

One time I got an entire center row of 5 seats going from Seattle->Heathrow overnight.

And there are a lot of middling bakeries in Europe. Haven't spent much time in Belgium, but I was disappointed in the average quality of the bread in small bakeries in France. Ther…

The whole obsession about measuring giving exact hydration percentages is strange to me. Assume you have 100g of flour at equilibrium 20% ambient humidity, and the same 100g of flo…

Eh, I found the Seattle artisanal bakeries (Fremont, Grand Central) to be better than all but the best I’ve found in Europe.

It is/was legal on rural interstates in Washington. I've cycled down I90 in roughly the North Bend area (in the late 90's).

Few different use cases, other than just a general swiss army knife for vaguely tabular data. * fastapi + duckdb + parquet for the backend for a relatively high profile website * w…

Saw this before the evening bus commute, trying it. 15 min in, not sure it’s working for me.

I run some moderate profile gov and ngo opendata sites, and I’d say that bot like traffic is 99% of the requests we’re seeing on some sites. Mostly current valid user agents, lots …

Unschooling works for a fraction of kids, and at some stages of their life. How big is that fraction? In my experience being around a bunch of home schoolers (and adjacent, and sch…

Unfortunately, digeridoo playing is just as disruptive to partner's sleep as snoring is. Perhaps they should try bagpipes?

Apple 2 was often az/,. .

Ubuntu has patched as of this morning. Debian doesn't look like they've patched trixie yet.

I paid the equivalent of $12.50 a gallon for diesel at the peak price a month or so ago.

Personally I’d look for the coveted 5 eights uptime.

I've seen issues last week onboarding a new employee, where emails from Jira and Slack and lastpass just weren't getting through.

I doubt it. The spanish (really tetra pack) wine was dry, and after double distilling it was basically moonshine. The Hungarian one was more in the mixing back into the undistilled…

The best I’ve ever done was a double distilled Spanish box wine we picked up for 1eur/l. The wine was undrinkable, but the brandy was sooooo smooth. Next best was cheap tokaij furm…
