I love the boot and rats wall ornament. They deserve love and recognition, too.

Careful. Think too hard about this and you'll question the concept of owning land in the first place. Then the whole thing falls apart.

If you want to actually learn stuff, side projects will probably serve you better. If you want to get a job at a trendy valley tech startup, stick with leetcode.

Regardless of his political views, you can learn everything you need to know about the man by watching any one of his fan mail videos. I've never in my life seen anyone act so annoyed and put out from receiving free stuff.

What is Big Question Notation? Also, which flying saucers does this support? I haven't bought one yet and I want to make sure the one I buy is compatible.

This is what I'm switching to. I would have suggested Textra, but when I downloaded it just now, TrackerControl told me there are a bunch of tracking libraries in it. Simple SMS Messenger, on the other hand, not only doesn't have any tracking libraries, but doesn't ask for internet access!

I've used other tools in the Simple suite and I love them.

Although I like using F-Droid, this app is also available on the regular Play Store as well.

Therapy can absolutely help. Therapy won't magically make you not burned out, but it will help give you coping strategies and help you identify the warning signs in the future.

The only thing keeping me from getting upset about this is the schadenfreude from imagining people digging up Elon in 3000 years.

I know Earthworm Jim's pocket rocket when I see it!

Notice anything else unusual about the numbers in his graph? Tegmark is presenting his opinion as scientific fact by making up a flow chart and assigning some numbers to each branch that have been pulled out of thin air.

This guy has every right to shout his opinion into the void. That's the double-edged blade of Twitter. But trying to claim your opinion is objective fact by saying "it's science" like Ron Burgundy makes him look awfully dishonest.

I know that's what he's doing because you can't bullshit a bullshitter. I used to do this same nonsense when I was in middle school and I thought I was smarter than everyone else. But I grew up.

If this hasn't already been done, this would make a great plot device for a heist story. A character uses this exploit to influence a mark to take an alternative route preferred by the heisters.

1 in 6 is instantly suspicious to me since it maps cleanly onto the roll of a standard six-sided die. Surely it's just a coincidence that the odds would perfectly map onto a very accessible metaphor for randomness that most laypeople would understand. Plus, given the subject matter, it conjures terrifying images of playing a child's board game where the stakes are the fate of the world. How convenient for fear mongers! The headlines and stock art hero images practically create themselves!

I solemnly swear I read the entire article. I still don't really comprehend why the film ends with the phrase "mother will be pleased".

It seems completely reasonable to me that if you pay for an education and the person you're ostensibly paying to teach you is doing a bad job, to be pissed off about it. The student is the customer.

I think the main advantages are that you don't have to remember to add "display:none", and that it gives the structure more semantic meaning. If I look at your code and see "display:none", I don't know why you've chosen to hide it. If it's wrapped in a <template> element, I instantly know why it's not being displayed as I now have an idea of how it's going to be used.

If you gave a hacker space in town, maybe at your local library, and they have a decent CNC router, you can probably still get PCBs made locally. I don't know how the price would compare to the big bois like PCBway. They wouldn't end up looking quite as "professional", but it all depends on the price you can get and how much same-day and shopping locally matters to you.

You guys are getting your vias plated? /meme

We had to stick a big blob of solder in the hole.

[spoilers] The moment it worked, you could see he was almost in tears. I was almost in tears with him, and I didn't even spend over a month tediously reverse engineering this ISA card.

What an amazing world we live in where we can design PCBs and get them professionally produced for a pittance. When I was in high school, we were taught how to make PCBs using the old masking and acid etching method. We drew our traces by hand and drilled our own vias. And that was only ~15 years ago! What a magical world we live in!

Many successful companies and individuals fall into that trap of being unable to differentiate between talent and luck. I'm certainly not saying Microsoft doesn't employ plenty of very talented individuals. But it also takes some fortunate twists of fate to succeed, which were completely out of Microsoft's control. Success is never guaranteed.

Which one do I shoot!?

Looks like it was fixed. "squatted" was misspelled as "sqautted".

Hug of death?

I recently read an article about how most modern mainframe deployments (IBM excluded) are software emulation running on x86 platforms. That's really interesting to me. If it wasn't for the proprietary nature of the software, I'd think mainframes would be more accessible than ever.

It got me to wondering why old architectures that were consumer-targeted aren't also emulated for much more than nostalgic gamers and the niche who swear WordPerfect was the peak of word processors.

My theory is that, for the most part, consumer hardware for small businesses and home offices ran consumer software. If my Apple II running VisiCalc dies and my business runs on it, I'm probably going to adopt Windows and Excel instead of trying to run VisiCalc in an emulator.

With large businesses running COBOL apps on mainframes, that software is probably highly customized to their business and their workflow. It's probably cheaper to buy a license for an official emulator rather than trying to port or rewrite the software.

Although, a part of me thinks it would be cool to run a web server on a blindingly fast, emulated Commodore 64.

Looks like swamp gas during a solar flare to me.

What if the pots had no detents and the color could also be sent from the computer to this device? Bi-directional color.

C99 specifies stdint.h/inttypes.h as part of the standard library for exactly this purpose. I'd expect using it would be a best practice at this point. But I'm no C expert, so maybe there's a good reason for not always using those explicitly sized types.

Can I get this on a t-shirt? I have no idea what it means, but it sounds amazing.

Maybe there's a market for turn-key Mattermost or Matrix hosting? Similar to how you can go and pay for someone to host Wordpress for you.

That's not true. I wrote this breathless article about box fans expressly to prove you wrong.

I didn't realize that digitization of all historical works was the goal of unicode. There's plenty of space for everything. And only a few fonts out there aim for complete coverage, like noto.

I just don't have the personal fortitude to attempt something so grandiose. Seems like a fool's errand.

Also, keep in mind there's not just one multiocular O. There's a bunch with varying numbers of eyes.
