You basically use a mapping function that assigns a visible wavelength to a corresponding non-visible one. Its as if you're manually red-shifting the light "down" the spectrum.

I'm sorry, did you and I experience the same 2016-2020? The one with a border wall, Muslim country of origin ban, and H1B visa cuts? I'm not arguing these are good or bad (H1Bs especially are abused) but they definitely happened

Hypixel has done that to an extent. The way most servers do it nowadays with with a server proxy that shunts client requests to a specified server transparently -- you "world hop" using in-game mechanics (i.e. walking through a po

Multiplayer modding is still very much alive and well. There is both the client-side route (where everyone uses a modpack tool like https://atlauncher.com/ ) or the successor to Bukkit, Spigot (and its High-performance fork,

Straight mining also makes you pass through more chunks (16x16 section of the world) per block mined; since ore-gen happens based on chunking this gives you better odds.

Is it that general? Its one thing if a deal fails because a party gets cold feet, or can't reach an agreement. Its another if the parties are all agreed and ready and a regulator steps in, isn't it?

You seem to be speaking with the authority of a WMF insider. If so, can you speak to the concerns Wikipedians have raised about the endowment responsibility? Currently, there is nothing preventing WMF from drawing down the endowment arbitra

I agree, and I feel the article implicitly focuses on workplace discussions. But it is good to make it explicit -- if you do this with your friends, you may "win" in the short term but you won't have many friends in the long

A good moment is in the offer/counter-offer phase. If you're talking numbers, when the person across the table says, "We'd like to offer you $x to join our team", don't instantly reply, but sit and mull it over

Operation Warp Speed is, to me, an indication of the power of government "intertia". Trump changed a lot of things, and while an uncomfortable amount of the U.S. government seems to run on "tradition" that isn't ac

Seems sadly outdated. Several of the linked userscripts are superseded (Github Dark is now a site native) or no longer published.

My first thought: Maybe include a link to the ddvault post in the template? On second thought... maybe not. I could see it quickly becoming a battering ram that just annoys OSS devs. Ultimately, this isn't something users can't im

The modern economic concept of tying wealth directly to economic output was a huge step. What it stepped towards can be considered anything from utopia to irrecoverable disaster. Some people closer to the latter end of the scale consider ec

I meant the node itself was state of the art. The application reliability is important, but in practice will be balanced against cost of goods -- just like how consumer PCs use non-ECC memory and try to handle it in software (or just decide

I imagine one end result of this supply squeeze is that a lot of bespoke or legacy parts will be finally removed from designs that have up until now been "good enough". To cite the most common example, vehicle manufacturers'

This puts to words the uneasy feeling I've had towards NFTs. The thought experiment that made this concrete was a sort of reductio ad absurdem : Let's say for a moment that NFTs win worldwide support and begin to be used as proof

Yes, plaintext email is awesome! Too bad most major providers hide the option (or straight-up don't have it). I'll just plug https://useplaintext.email as a great resource. The main recommendations are... opinionated (

The previous implementation used Wintun (wintun.net) which was developed originally for Wireguard but spun off into its own layer 3 tunneling driver. And yes, Wintun beats the pants of OpenVPN's TAP driver, but the kernel implementatio
