Physics doesn’t make this impossible, but it’s _enormously_ expensive to get payload to L2.

If you haven't already read it (or, heck, even if you have), I _strongly_ suspect you'd have a blast with Neal Stephenson's _REAMDE_: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reamde

+10000%. Coworking is, for me, remote working done right: you get to separate your "work family" from your employer/clientele, which means you can change one without changing the other at your discretion.

Volume/space may not be the only requirement; cutting down the component count on a BOM might be a sufficient win on its own.

I currently use Keybase for this purpose, and while it's not entirely dead yet (slow-but-present maintenance at https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/24636#issuecomment-... ), the writing's been o

> There's remarkably little research done… Well, sure. You don’t research what you don’t want to know, let alone have a public debate about. Better to just make loud blanket statements, and when challenged to just make them louder.

“Halt and Catch Fire”, but IRL. That’s a really awful way to go. I continue to be uncomfortable with so-called “less lethal” weapons since they habituate use of force in more situations, and overall use of force by police forces is demonstr

So, the other students that trailed the speaker with accusations and harassment on the university’s property will face consequences for their actions to discourage this from recurring, right? Didn’t see that part in the article.

How on earth does this speed vaccination rates? The 15-minute wait is after the jab, and so presents zero bandwidth constraints on the actual vaccination process. It’s just a bunch of people sitting quietly in a room requiring almost no att

This strikes me as similar to arguing that we shouldn’t give money to panhandlers because they’ll only go spend it on drugs. Yes, we as a society have historically made poor decisions about what to do with productivity and lifespan increase

This writeup is unsubtle in being a puff piece. The demoed tech is very impressive! Individual stills taken from the video are pretty convincing. The motion version definitely still exhibits uncanny valley, though—lights that are too hard o

Irrelevant in terms of appearances, I think? It’s not a crime to delete a captured video of a person. That discussion is more about underlaying AI, which isn’t involved in this demo.

I’ve especially enjoyed using Hammerspoon in combination with the prebaked config “Spacehammer” ( https://github.com/agzam/spacehammer ), which takes a lot of inspiration from Spacemacs (and, of course, enables a systemw

Depends on what you mean by sunrise/sunset. “The relative position of the sun’s edge drops below/rises above the tangent of the average surface at sea level” is pretty easy to calculate many years out; the complications are deviat

You should absolutely continue this pursuit, but keep in mind that the biggest things you can do to avoid a legal dispute are to clearly communicate expectations and not work with assholes. A well-written contract is like a solid deadbolt o

I understand why there's all this concern about making Emacs popular--as software professionals, we've all seen a few tools that we use and love wither at the vine and die slow deaths. But the concern for _overall_ popularity is a

Unreal. I suspect much of this is out of copyright, but I’ll pay the One Dollar for the compilation and convenience. Thank you for the pointer!

My favorite detail about vinyl is precisely the counter-narrative to how CDs were marketed when they first landed: they are impermanent. Playing a vinyl record is a physically destructive process, so every time you listen to a record, that’

Honestly? Yes, you are. The behavior of other folks that aren't on your payroll & aren't hurting you by isn't your domain; your option is simply to not read it. Or, more colloquially: they're not your b****.

Writing on the subject of exploring how to live doesn’t preclude setting and enforcing healthy boundaries. If anything, it seems to me he’s responding appropriately without being excessively inflammatory.
