> Heck if you ask me what 9 * 14 is, I'm going to do 10 * 14 - 14.

Yeah, that’s interesting how we do things in our head like that.

I would frequently break that down as 9*10 + 9*4 in my head.

But I might also do it as 10*14 - 10 - 4.

I’ll try different ways in my head until I can solve one of them easily.

I certainly can understand the frustration. To offer another point of view, I’m not sure I’ve touched my arrow keys once in the last several years. I might have, but I don’t remember it if I did.

On the stability point, walking/hiking sticks work well as a monopod. Some commercial sticks have threading to mount a camera.

I used one similar to this on my honeymoon: https://www.rei.com/product/155737/mountainsmith-trekker-fx-...

You can find third party mounts for holding your phone at the eyepiece of your scope.

This one looks like it works with binoculars too: https://www.amazon.com/Photography-LUXUN-Mount-Quick-Smartph...

It’s percentage of available wear, not space.

One of the things that interests me (of many), is the use of cmake.

Does anyone have good references on extending cmake to new tools that don’t produce executables per se, or otherwise work in non traditional ways?

Yes, you can retrieve items that aren’t on the top.

It is fascinating. But I always get uncomfortable reading stuff like this... I mean, they are placing sensors in a turtle’s brain, physically immobilizing it, aiming its head at a screen for a while, and you generally don’t release something to the wild after that. The ethical thing is considered to be killing it.

I get that there are a lot of aspects to modern life that sterilize the gruesomeness of reality. Still makes me uncomfortable when the illusion is peeled back and I catch a glimpse.

Not really commenting on the guide, but for me, clarity of thought follows writing. Not the reverse.

I know this is beside the point... It’s a bin for medical waste in the form of things that can break the skin. Used needles etc. It’s a special bin that once completely closed is intentionally quite difficult to open again.

Also from Wikipedia:

> The next regular appearances will be in 2021 and 2038.

My friends, behold the parents of the 2038 bug.

It’s “toe the line.”

I thought it was Warren Buffet that convinced him to go the philanthropy route.

You can’t seriously expect intelligence gatherers to disclose something like that to the general public. It would become worthless. They’d never be able to use it again.

A closed lid MacBook will sleep unless an external monitor is connected. Amphetamine/KeepingYouAwake/Caffeinate does not change that.

In particular: thanks!

His interview with Jim Keller is pretty good.

Yeah the mask thing does make me wish I had Touch ID as a backup.

I still prefer face id to Touch ID.

A compromise for me would be letting my watch unlock the phone by proximity as it can do with my Mac. The watch unlock is good enough that I don’t miss Face ID on Mac.

Oh my cow that is awesome. I must investigate.

That was my first thought too.

Per the article, candles were relevant to his fire fixation. He also had a fixation on figuring out what his body could live without. Including food and oxygen. Nitrous oxide was one of the ways he would deprive himself of oxygen.

Acheiropoieta: a word not made with mouths

I made something like this for my wife with clojure and clojurescript. Basically it used websockets to broadcast a url to the clients and the client displayed the image at the url with some css decoration.

She was doing phone conferencing for audio at the time.

Worked really well for its purpose and was super simple.

She has since moved to zoom and just does plain screen shares now.

So, they use mRNA as code that cellular machinery will use to produce the spikey protein of the corona virus.

Why not just use yeast or something to produce the protein outside the body and inject the protein instead?

You know, they don’t mention the neural engine. I know very little of ML but maybe the neural engine isn’t helpful on the training side?

They are backtracking on the little snitch boondoggle? I hadn’t heard that.

Thanks for replying on a sensitive topic.

I’m curious if you feel this way about human abortion?

Apple has only ever used portable to refer to their own platforms. Which is a bit of a stretch of the term considering what it means to the rest of the technical world, but there you have it. Per their own definition they have improved portability among their own platforms.

I agree that just about all of the EDA tools are a pretty terrible experience.

I’ve gotten tired of dealing with quirks using SV interfaces in RTL. I’m using structs as a substitute at the moment.
