There's a switch in preferences to make it just scroll by default. Definitely a bad UI decision indeed.

Oof. Looking at the "Transitioning from Darktable" page ( https://ansel.photos/en/doc/special-topics/from-darktable/ ), the author is extremely disparaging about Darktable developers. Very off-

To be similarly pedantic, I think you may be looking for 'pedant' (a person concerned with fine detail) rather than 'pendant' (a hanging piece of jewellery or a hanging lamp) :)

This is a homemade motorbike built around a 1900cc car diesel engine. My favourite bit of the video was around 13:05, where the builder mentions that car clutch springs are much stronger than bike clutch springs - cars use a single plate cl

Some charity shops (e.g. Oxfam) no longer take mains-powered electronics - my guess is because of the burden of testing them to make sure they're safe. Others will take computers but have various prohibitions - for instance, the Red Cr

Holy crap. That looks like some sort of dystopian nightmare, garishly bright screens crowding in from all sides.

The follow-up, about how the shutter timing is modified by the use of pneumatics, is also fascinating, albeit mostly above my head: https://opensx70.com/posts/2020/11/pneumatics

Indeed - see industrial protocols such as EtherCAT or Powerlink, which use Ethernet frames with their own non-IP protocol on top.

One of the particularly interesting parts about this computer is that it comes quite a significant amount of time after valve/tube-based computer systems, and in fact some time after the first prototype transistor computers. It was mad

Ten-ish years ago, Google was still trying to make Google Plus work. I don't think it's been a particularly competent company for a long time.

The fully vegan products are actually pretty common here in the UK. They taste fine to me. I wonder if it's something to do with certain products needing a particular texture which is hard to get without eggs.

It's a long video, but absolutely worth watching. There's not a lot of detail about the software side of things, but it's fascinating to think about the number of things that have to be taken into account to take a shape from

I watched Overwatch tourneys on Twitch for a bit. And I played a little bit of League of Legends so MOBAs aren't entirely foreign to me. Didn't know about The International - I had to go look it up. The world is stranger than you

Yeah. They did flag up earlier that wireless transmission between HSM and monitor would have to be encrypted. I wonder whether they missed that out in the prototype due to time issues, or whether the microcontroller they chose made it infea

Git is very slow under WSL2 when working with our medium-sized repos hosted on Windows filesystems (required by our Windows-only tooling). It's not unusable, but 'git status' under WSL1 was almost instant, whereas it takes a

TL;DR - red blood cells can sense the concentration of CO2 in tissue. If there is excess CO2, oxygenated blood cells release their payload of oxygen and pick up the CO2. This means that oxygen is delivered to parts of the body that need it
