   Seems the most common scenario would be documenting traffic stops. I would be within 8 feet of an officer in any seat of my car.

   This is the passage that taught me the word hypergolic, while the book itself tried its best to teach me how to write about obscure subjects naturally. It feels like hanging out with him through his career, and you’re glad along with him th

   I thought they’re called biscuits over there? You have to store the biscuits separate from your crisps, in an on-premise flat; otherwise, the GDPR bobbies will be right on your full-stack bollocks in a lorry right soon. Good on ya!

   If we discover room-temperature superconductivity and it is industrial-scalable, I could see DC taking over AC transmission lines. But right now, resistive heat losses make DC a silly solution. That’s why we rectify only when the energy rea

   This problem takes quantum leaps every now and then, then we go back to autoconf and makefiles for our most important pieces of kit. Cmake me a ninja with a side of scons. Industry: “Virtualize it! No wait, containerize it! Use podman to ru

   Preach! (I shortened my comment to make it more pithy, had a lot of those same thoughts, and appreciate how you fleshed them out!) 5. I write my own blender plugins quite often, and they break with my next `git pull`. Blender moves fast and

   Best tool for boolean geometry I’ve personally used. I’ve had many more successful 3D prints than any of the point-and-click CAD tools in which I have also spent hundreds of hours. But with ADHD tendencies, the rendering time of OpenSCAD of

   Every python developer agrees with this article RE: Django. In the US, it’s like trying to talk to someone from the deep south versus Maine.

   As much as I like this, how is Nasm news? Fine. I have not done enough assembly lately, fair enough. More seriously, is anyone still doing this outside of edge computing and embedded applications? Or… a hobby?

    I’m doing tensorflow on an nvidia jetson. Indeed, slowly. Thanks for sharing those details on your project!

    I should clarify that I’m mostly guessing on your bill of materials. There are only a few obvious choices for this project.

    I had this exact idea and have been working on it. Have almost exactly your bill of materials. Glad to know there are others out there who find this interesting, great work! I was always worried about making it a public data source. Kinda s

    Personally I dig it. I recently did something similar, and felt dirty not automating everything, every step of the way. I knew I’d want to change the LAN architecture and the services, and everything; but it was definitely intended as a lea

    I always appreciate a good shell pipeline, shared. I am stronger in python, and definitely wrote a script to cheat at Words With Friends back in the day (always told my friend afterwards and only pulled that stunt a few times). If I had kno

    I like your spin on this, if a bit quirky and strange. Is “consciousness” as a pursuit useless only because we don’t know what it means? Or just a pointless endeavor?

    Good point! Hey, this is just a share to see if anyone shares my interest. In my spare time, I have been kind of been making a videogame based on this question. (I’ve worked on sims professionally, but it is not most of my career.) A “float

    Right on. Someone has mentioned aerobraking somewhere above, but for those with fewer hours spent in Kerbal, this may be of interest ;) A delta-v map will usually include atmosphere as a separate route from the raw energy requirements of en

    If this is the case, why aren’t the stdlib functions defined this way? In all of the history of the longest-lived production language family besides FORTRAN, this blog post is the first voice to point out that memcpy should be the same oper

    Wil Wheaton reads Masters of Doom, almost worth it for his impressions alone. “Sid Meier’s Memoir” is great along the same genre.

    To me, SQL looks like something I should be using 79-char punchcards for. Scalable databases are just so difficult that we’re still driving a ‘64 IMPALA Most of this opinion comes from “SQL” being vendor-specific. Is JSON vendor-specific? I

    There's a bigger problem. Comes down to production issues and the efficiency of using something just because it's cool. I'm a grizzled setuptools guy, for sure. While I think poetry has many great ideas, it currently can&#x27
