I love that clock with Range Rover logo behind and the arms lit. Especially when people get in and can't read analog!

verdächtig !

The design is called a splayed pin fin heat sink.

The rounded pins present minimal resistance to incoming air streams and Incoming air streams can enter from all directions (omnidirectional).

Round pins generate extensive air turbulence.

I'm guessing the more splayed the pins, the greater the air turbulence and it allows for air movement in all directions; the time / gps chipsets are meant to run cool.

That the World Series was even on.

I live in the US, and have heard nothing at all about this. What surprises me is this never used to happen when I was a kid.

Thank you

I Started with an Aura One, it was my very first eink device. When it died about a year ago, I bought a Kindle Scribe thinking I was getting an Aura, but with a larger screen.

B/W only, thin in the hand, simple interface, PDF transfer via USB.

Which one do you have?

There's a todo app I'm working on that is meant to mirror the status of an existing kanban board using the api integration from kanboard. (So you can self host it all). Kanboard acts as the project flow, and the ios app sync adds ios 'tasks' and calendar sync. I thought it would be easier than it is to finish. A Kanboard based life is a pretty good one though.

At the library and picked this book randomly from off the shelf. First stamp was 1986, an old hardcover copy with no dust cover. I'd never heard of the book.

But 30 pages in, when the monk finds the cave: "Mustering his modest command of pre-Deluge English, he whispered the words haltingly: FALLOUT SURVIVAL SHELTER"

A canticle for Leibowitz by Walter Miller.

It gives very strong Fallout vibes. Having played the original games I think there is an influence.

FYI your website mentions Mac and Linux compatibility but the website only shows a download link for Mac. I found the linux options on your gh account and will try it out.

With a crystal of the right dimensions and correct input voltage could one feel the crystal vibrating?

Could you deep fry the spoons in your oil of choice? Imagine a commercial fry cook from a fast food restaurant. The heat would open the wood pores there by removing moisture content replaced with penetrant from the oil bath. Remove, let cool, and wipe off. In theory I don't believe there's anything wrong with the idea.

I noticed something like this earlier, in the android app you can have it rewrite a paragraph, and then and only then do you have the option to send that as a text message. It's just a button that pops up. Claude has an elegance to it.

I'm writing this on a grapheneos pixel 5. I have the app for very-large-USbank and a few others. With 'exploit protection compatibility toggle' enabled they works fine. In what regard this applies to device attestation I couldn't say.

This only applies to Windows and I think you're referencing desktops.

Ten years ago I think rule of thumb was uptime of not greater than 6 months. But for different reasons. (Windows Server...)

On Solaris, Linux, BSDs etc. it's only necessary for maintenance. Literally. I think my longest uptime production system was a sparc postgres system under sustained high load with uptime of around 6 years.

With cloud infra, people have forgotten just how stable the Unixken are.

There is literally no way. Spill the beans!

Philosophically: L'État, c'est moi, build your crappy cgi scripts with nginx or apache all from the CLI and all in vim and you will understand.

Practically: Ports 22, 80, and 443 open and directly accessible from 0.0.0.0/0 is extremely manageable.

Own using "chaqueta" instead of "chamarra".

This is a regional bro distinction. I have certainly heard chaqueta used by respectable people in Jalisco. This joke is a reflection of people that don't travel.

In Jalisco y Nayarit the normative word for the large beer bottles is caguama. In central MX that word is ghetto.

A number of years ago driving late one evening an interview of his came on the radio. It might have originally been WGBH or a Canadian affiliate I can't recall, but just listening to him talk and expound on his views of the world gave the same thrill as reading Neuromancer and that same thrill of exploring the world through a phone line.

I used a GL.Inet yellow hockey puck device 8 hours a day for about 6 months in the exact configuration mentioned. Interface and form factor, all are great, but your internet speed will be limited by the CPU. It was woefully under powered for VPN crypto.

Where do you think the market is going in regards to boutique firms? I've heard it mentioned but I'm not sure what counts as boutique and what that signifies for the next few years.

For those on the market for something the size of a standard sheet of paper whats recommended? Side loading PDFs and the size I mentioned are the main requirements. I'd prefer not to jail-brake but I have and I can.

A similar topic but not this link[0] was mentioned here on HN awhile back. An aboriginal man had a lock of hair which had passed down over many generations, and some of which was allowed to be carbon dated. It was old, I don't remember the specific age, but it was at least BC old. And this lock of hair had been passed down from one generation to the next. It showed his people had been in Aus for a very long time and they predate first humans in North America.

Just looking at this article Aborigines had been in Australia for 20k - 30k years before the White Sands footprints were made. I'm sure there's footprints of similar "vintage" there. It would be curious to compare them.

Probably not. :)

However, I do notice the pronounced gaps between the toes. My parents generation grew up in Melanesia starting around the 1950’s and many of them have commented on the distinctly different footprint profiles of the local people who never had worn shoes and the western newcomers. If you’ve never worn shoes your toes are far more splayed. I don’t know about lenght of toe.

So really I don’t think your observation is related to their genetic proximity and more to do with bodily adaptation. Perhaps an anthropological podiatrist can comment.

For context, how old are the oldest Egyptian pyramids?

This is a very handy tool.

For those of us who sometimes have to do presentations but don’t want to (learn) do full blown slidedecks I have a feature request:

If you could add googlesheets to mermaid.js table or googlesheets straight to png of a markdown table that would be so nice. As I recall Mermaid.js renders to png.

Easy way to build tables, I can just insert the image of the table.

Yum was borrowed from yellow dog Linux.

First impressions really matter. This is also why I went Debian. You shouldn't be getting marked down for saying it.

Many of us were running on 28.8 dial-up. Internet search was not even close to a solved problem. Compiling a new kernel was an overnight or even weekend process. Finding and manually downloading rpm dependencies was slow and hard. Same era when compiling a kernel went overnight or over the weekend. You didn't download an ISO you bought a CD or soon a DVD that you could booted off of.

Compare that to Debian's apt-get or Suse's yast/yast2 of the time, both just handled all that for you.

Debian and Suse were fun and fit perfectly into the Web 1.0 world; RedHat was corporate. SystemD was pushed by RedHat.
