My father had this CD.

I remember using it as a kid.

You could really select anything (or seemingly anything) and have its inner-workings explained in a nice set of animations!

I still have fresh in my mind of how a car speed-o-meter used to work.

switching between 2 inputs would take between 1x and 4x (x being the time to switch to the next input) depending if it is from A to B or B to A.

Their ToS states that cryptocurrency mining is forbidden (which is fair). But, comments from hetzner officials on social media clarify that Ethereum nodes (even if they don't produce any blocks) are also against their ToS.

This is like mentioning in your rule-book that metal toothpicks are forbidden because I don't know, people can short your batteries or whatever. But also banning wooden toothpicks without mentioning this in your rule-book.

Their ToS are not always vague but the way their terms are executed is definitely arbitrary.

Yes, it is published on itch.io. But I wouldn't assume this was done using Godot. It looks more like html+js

This might be a GNU vs BSD thing. But even if dd doesn't need a block size, sometimes (at least in the past) the default block size is not optimal.

The "none" comment comes from the point of view developing this specific browser extension.

Yep. Lets optimize for the 20%, let the 80% adapt by moving their phone further away.

Cast iron is far from perfect.

I use it for steaks because they are hard to sear in other cookware. The cleanup and seasoning processes make cast iron hard to use for anything else. I plan to get a ceramic one (with iron core) but even if it solves the seasoning process and the cleanup process, it isn't the best to sear steaks in it.

My point is that each tool has its use and in this specific case, cast iron is not the tool for everything.

What is it with the weird RAM configurations? It looks like they have 8GB embedded (soldered) to the motherboard.

The choices for RAM configuration come down to 8GB, 2x8GB, 8GB + 16GB and 8GB + 32GB.

That makes the second option the only dual channel configuration. Going past 2x8GB is not a real upgrade but more like a side-grade.

Congratulations on missing the text editor joke. Wait... are you a vim user?

For a company working with RF products (even if it is through a 3rd party FCC approved board), I would assume Automatic Gain Control (AGC) to be a standard.

The irony is that you could use a userscript to fix this userscript search engine's title. With something like: document.title = "not home";

Nice demo. I found up to "harder". I assume you would need to bruteforce to find the "impossible".

If this is just for the sake of not rolling 7 you can have a die with just odd numbers like 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11. Having 2 of them guarantees an even sum. Of course you would have gaps between the possible outcomes but not rolling a 7 is already a gap.

The real prank is convincing me to try vim's easy mode. I once again have to search the internet on how to exit vim or resort to a new session just to kill vim.

You can't draw too much current from the 3.3V pin. I don't know what current this fan needs but it is safer to connect to 5V as it has some more room to safely draw current.

I'm working with a different type of serverless approach.

For a few hackathons now my team tries to push a client-side frontend + smart-contracts on a blockchain as a backend solution. This has a UX hit (some downsides of it could be mitigated though) but it made our business logic easier to implement. Depending on the project it has additional benefits to go with this stack. This cannot be applied to every project though and usually the UX hit or the lack of private transactions is enough to favor more traditional stacks.

some of the features overlap with https://zeronet.io/

I read a bit but I'd like to see a comparison of the same data structure in JSON, YAML and NT.

I would also like to see YAML converted to NT and back to YAML just to see if there is any information loss.

Usually, when internet is down, I stop working start playing single player games.

Apple had the Newton. I would say they have been in the PDA game from the early days.

Sure, this works, but a cheap USB webcam would have been a far better solution than writing on top of your keyboard

You could theoretically store energy by winding springs and making use of it by letting them unwind (by spinning a generator or whatever). Toy-car style.

This doesn't involve digging a deep hole in the ground and hope that the earth keeps it level.

A drawback would be the hazards that heavy tension/forces bring with them.

The magic factor is too strong and in a bad way. It seems to defy fundamental constraints of physics.

Am I expected to believe that friction caused by pressing your finger on paper can supply enough power to make a successful bluetooth transmission?

To side-load an app on an iPhone you need to sign it with a developer certificate (and apple will actually do it for you). You can only run the app if you trust said certificate (you will get a prompt saying something like going in the settings, tapping on the developer name and then tapping "Trust". You would then need to confirm using your passcode/faceid/touchid). It's not like anyone can put apps on your phone and being able to launch them without any friction.

System orchestration (docker/kubernetes/aws/...)

This falls a bit under dev-ops and sysadmin but it would unlock your brain to think in different ways.

The problem is that you can't put an axle on this.

I don't really understand the argument against something like jekyll. There is no special styling as of now anyway so why would jekyll need any?

I don't really see this happening. Chinese industry would still be a lot more cheaper both when it comes to needed machinery (like robots) and the cost of the needed space for the factories.
