mmmlinux··on Oregon school cell phone ban: 'Engaged students, joyful teachers'
Right? when I graduated HS in 2008 phones had always been banned. If you got caught with one out, you could have them just not out and in theory off, you would get detention and your parent would have to come get it. When did it suddenly become OK to have phones out.

I, and I expect most human drivers, also probably drive measurably worse if I'm in a city I'm not familiar with.

the thing that makes them unreliable is lack of use. when you leave some gas in there for 6 months because you never travel farther than the grocery store, when you actually use the engine it goes and sucks up a bunch of trash expired gas.

mmmlinux··on ATMs didn't kill bank teller jobs, but the iPhone did
I didn't see the article mentioning how banks forced people to use ATMs or apps instead of tellers by having "green" accounts. where you would get a monthly account fee waved if you didn't go in to a branch.

mmmlinux··on Programming Patterns: The Story of the Jacquard Loom (2019)
For Opensauce '24 I modified a Leclerc Dorothy Table Loom to be a Jaquard. With exception of some bearings and rods it was entirely 3D printed. It could run real punch cards (that I cheated and used a laser cutter to make, I wasn't building a second machine to punch the cards. Although that machine is super cool on it's own.) I had found a book that detailed extremely well the mechanisms used in the machine. It surprisingly worked very well with not terribly much trial and error. Even surviving being in my luggage from Maryland to SF. A surprising number of people were super excited to get to see one up close and really see how they had operated. So many people came up to tell me they had been to so and so museum where they had one, but it was a giant machine you couldn't really look at up close.

Currently I'm down the rabbit hole of leavers lace machines, they make Jaquard looms look like child's toys. But they were much less common, and I don't think any exist in the united states. If anyone has any leads or information on someone that works on or with or near or has heard of one of these machines please let me know.

mmmlinux··on That's not how email works
Id be willing to bet the number of people who sign up for ebilling, then screw up their email address is huge. then those people blame the bank for not contacting them to tell them the issue.

yes, its not how email is supposed to work. but people can be really really stupid.
