enticeing··on The Cornervery: A 90-Degree Stapler
The core77 site basically shuts down my browser after the page starts loading (Firefox on android), has anyone experience similar? I'm curious what's going on, I basically have to force quit the app for it to go back to normal. It loads fine using chrome on android.
enticeing··on Ford Will Keep Battery Factory Even If Republicans Ax Tax Break
Presumably short term pain for Ford from missing out on federal incentives they would've gotten otherwise
enticeing··on The origins of the steam engine (2023)
Just to clarify, the initial use for steam engines at coal mines was to pump out water. (Same source as above)
enticeing··on Papersway – a scrollable window management for Sway/i3wm
musca is an X window manager that does something like this, where the tiling layout and windows are decoupled. github.com/enticeing/musca
enticeing··on Road planners embrace the diverging diamond interchange
We have many of these where I live (at least 6) and contrary to what seems to be the prevailing opinion here everyone I know prefers them to the alternatives. Sure they can be confusing upon first encounter, but they are noticeably way faster than the traditional interchanges around here.
enticeing··on Losing my son
Looks like this (https://www.valuebase.co/) from further up
enticeing··on On being listed as an artist whose work was used to train Midjourney
And profit off of it?
enticeing··on I made an app that runs Mistral 7B 0.2 LLM locally on iPhone Pros
I don't read GP comment as saying "Android is always better", unless there's something I missed?

More options is a good thing, nobody said a manual process was better than an app.

enticeing··on Don't pass structs bigger than 16 bytes on AMD64
Looks like the HO means hand optimized, with special datastructures for this benchmark.

enticeing··on How the lemon was invented (2018)
In some cases acidity will lessen after a frost or some other environmental condition
enticeing··on Apple dives into display-making to cut reliance on Samsung
The latter.
enticeing··on The Samsung Galaxy S23’s bloated Android build somehow uses 60GB of storage
From the article, it sounds like it's roughly half that on the Pixel 7 at least, around 7-8Gb, since they use an A/B os partition scheme to make OS updates work better.
enticeing··on TSMC to make 4nm chips in Arizona for Apple, AMD, Nvidia
For clarification: It was the President of Taiwan Tsai Ing-wen(as far as I can tell) who invited Nancy Pelosi for a visit. She (the President of Taiwan) did resign as head of her party, but not as president.
enticeing··on NixOS 22.11 “Raccoon”
You can install all the usual software from the Fedora repos, but you need to do a reboot before you can use it. See the Package Layering section here: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/getti...
enticeing··on Lite XL: A lightweight text editor written in Lua
Textadept[1] is also quite nice, and configured (but not written) in lua. It seems to work fine in MacOS, but I haven't used it extensively.

enticeing··on FAA releases TRUST: Free online training required to fly drones recreationally
Remind me in which way the licensing/permitting process for drones is at all similar to the licensing/permitting process for a nuclear reactor. I'm certain that a nuclear reactor takes much more than a 30 minute course to operate.
enticeing··on Developers Try Again to Upstream Motorola 68000 Series Support in LLVM
Wikipedia says Rochester Electronics, and I did find it here on their site: https://www.rocelec.com/part/REIMC68020EH33E
enticeing··on WhyTheName
From Wikipedia:

> daughter Maria (after whom MariaDB was named), and has a daughter My (after whom MySQL was named)[16] and a son Max (giving the name for MaxDB) from his first marriage

He has a habit, apparently :P

Bluebird Network has a datacenter in the Springfield Underground: https://bluebirdnetwork.com/data-center-services/
enticeing··on Why Bother with What Three Words?
I think the point is that ringleader.kilt.comedians and since.duplicated.backswing have no relation at all to each other, and don't communicate to the user their spatial relationship. On the other hand, you could infer that 1234 W Something Rd is nearby 1238 W Something Rd.

EDIT: Also, given a set of lat/long coordinates, regardless of the precision, you could infer their spatial relationship as well.

enticeing··on Dwarf Fortress is coming to Steam with graphics
The graphics are new, as far as I can tell. From a Patreon post on the same topic:

> She's contracted Mike Mayday and Meph, who've both

> been with the modding community for many years.

> Zach and I are working closely with them as they

> create a tile set that fits the game and meshes

> well with our underlying code.

enticeing··on Chinese Tokamak reaches over 100M degrees
It's interesting to note that on the ITER FAQ page, they mention that 90% of contributions are to be delivered "in-kind" in the form of parts of buildings, instead of cash.
enticeing··on Interface Hall of Shame – QuickTime 4.0 Player (1999)
I'm not sure why you take such issue with the fact that they added new features "FOR ANIME FANS". Not every foss project is going to focus its resources where you think they should be focused. You might as well say "FOR MOBILE" and print out that entire section because it's equally not focused towards the desktop ui improvements you think are necessary. EDIT: Typo in necessary
enticeing··on The Untold Story of Otto Warmbier, American Hostage
I had always thought that he was beaten, I guess because I'd never really looked into it. From the article it seems like it's most likely that he either attempted suicide or lost blood flow to his brain in some other way, and then was discovered by his guards unconscious and taken to the hospital in North Korea.
enticeing··on Using GnuCash as a Freelancer to Track Finances and Prepare Taxes
I don't know about the BAS account template, but my accounts have the num column as well. I thought it was used for ordering transactions that occur on the same date. Personally, I just stopped using it because it rarely matters for me the order of multiple transactions in the same day.

Looking at this page on gnucash.org now (1), it's referred to as just "optional Num (such as a check number)". Hope that helps.

enticeing··on Puffin beaks glow under UV light
I wonder if they've done any experiments yet as to whether the birds actually can detect that. It definitely seems possible to do such an experiment.

I do think it's odd that in the article they just say the birds "must" be able to detect it, without any evidence that they actually can.

enticeing··on German scientists harvest their first Antarctic salad
It seems like part of the reason might be to provide fresh vegetables in a place where they are very hard to get, to keep the researchers happy and healthy.
enticeing··on The Unnerving Existence of Teen Boss
You're saying that like spaceflunky's comment included an endorsement for that post, or that his posting a comment here means that he approves of every single post on the site.
enticeing··on Live display of CO2 emitted to produce electricity in European countries
Near where I live is the Taum Sauk pumped storage plant [1], which actually overtopped in 2005 and flooded the valley below. You can see where the water cleared trees and things [2], and where the reservoir broke [3]. It drained over 3.7 billion liters in 20-30 minutes.
