the photo of the top is chimp haven, which doens't look like that nice a place--but I suspect that the other options are picturaesque either. And that chimp in the photo--has a cigarette in his mouth. Obviously I don't think its

I was genuinely surprised that he allowed it (I definitely enjoyed it, so this is not a dig at the movie.) Apparently Laurie Anderson wanted to do and opera of Gravity's Rainbow, and Pynchon replied that he would only give permission

true, but it is possible to use it in ways that benefit you or your priorities. I'm not saying that is what Musk is doing, but the ability to spend a billion dollars or potentially charitable endeavours can have direct benefits to the

I did ditch my 3 SGI Sony Trinitron 21 inch monitors. The were the pinnacle of CRTs in my experience. I do still have a couple O2s, 3 or 4 Octane 2s, and a Fuel in my garage.

I love that a protocol from 1983 is still in very active use. Either it was very well thought out, or the userbase has very limited needs. (actually a little of both.)

I was waiting for the story to end with “the police impounded my bike for evidence, so I still don’t have my bike.” Nice that it actually worked out for him.

my personal domain is a ccTLD domain and has gone down over time. I know it's a bit iffy, but I like my ultra short domain, and if they take it from me...oh well.

I remember taking a multiple choice question test for some scholarship 35 years ago. 20 questions with the explicit instructions that for any question all of the choices could be correct or none of them or combination, and you were suppose

Maybe I'm the exeption, but there is nothing digital in my current life that I have any expectation to live beyond me. If anyone cared about my photographs, there are folders and folders of negatives. If anyone cares about the music

my read is it is skewering both the "performative over achiever" and the "ambition-less bored under achiever." Maybe its intended as a rorschach test to see which side people see.

thanks for reminding me of that movie! I haven't seen it a very long time. Its hard to explain, but its a kind of humor that I really don't see very often--serious and self-deprecating humor.

Sony has a stupid update app as well, but Nikon and Pentax? Download a firmware file, put it on the root of the SD card, and boot itin a particular way or goto some menu and runu the update. Its a very 90's process but easy and simpl

Don’t forget that HN is also self moderated through upvotes/downvotes (I’ve never used Reddit, does it have similar?). This does two things IMO—first, low quality posts become less and less readable which reduces incentive to make infl

To me, the most influential book is Allisons’s Essence of Decision. Most people seem to treat it as a book about the Cuban middle crisis, which of course it is, but the event is analyses through the lens of several analytical techniques. Th

my mid 80's FJ60 had a hand crank for the gasoline engine, so, given that this article is about the 70 series that debuted in 1984--I wouldn't be surprised if it had a hand crank as well.

mine had a leaky rear main seal. That was not a fun job. Fortunatly, my brother is an experienced auto mechanic (with ~$50k of SnapOn tools). So we were able to get it done, but there is no way I could have done it myself. The vehicle ha

I live down the road from the NMSU Chile Pepper Institute, so I’ve eaten many hot things. While I can’t grow anything, I have friends and family that have purchased seeds from their store and tried growing many varieties of Chile peppers.

this is very common in the west. Its one of several ways to "own" more property than you paid for. If your property completely encloses 1000 acres of public land, that land is as good as yours (with the exception of building thi

I don’t know if cell carriers support it, but we test our PBX with 933. It functions like 911 but doesn’t route to emergency dispatch, instead it reads back out E911 data. I also don’t know if, for cell carriers, it functions enough like

I played with the original a long time ago. IIRC, back then Laurie Spiegel asked for some kind of credit on music that was generated by it given that the musical output would be bounded by the software design. Also, if you've never he

most of the small manufacturers--Ferrania P30, all the Foma films, I believe the Adox films as well. The Rollei films have DX, and like you said--Kodak, Fuji, and Ilford.

FYI, Bronica. And the fun detail about the ISO and exposure compensation is I beleive they were concentric dials (they are on my Bronica GS-1) so they were just adjusting a single contact. In other words, ISO 100 with no compensation is t
