A billion? I'd do it for a billion. I could put up with a year of that for unimaginable wealth. Probably even a million to be honest.

Turns out I already knew roughly how this process works from playing Factorio with Bob's/Angel's mods. It's relatively 'realistic', requiring crushing ores and sorting to get different breakdowns of products (A

Very interesting tool, although storing as typos does seem to be a bit visible and prone to mistaken 'correction'. Other approaches to consider might be: * Changing punctuation for visually identical, but different characters. Thi

Great fun, I was another solving in Go (Python programmer by day). I loved AoC, and learned a lot about Go! The hardest puzzles were definitely the fiddliest ones, day 15 in particular. I wish there was a way for non US people to get a lead

GOV.UK really is a testament to what you can achieve when you inhouse and centralise provision of Government IT based on Open Source principles, instead of different departments outsourcing different bits to different agencies with no real

Disk size argument no but memory yes. Keeping this massive binary duplicated in memory for every trivially small (memory-wise) app, like Slack, is bananas.

What amazes me is the depiction of rockets before real rockets existed. The first modern rockets were V2s launched by Germany in World War 2. The man that designed them—Wernher von Braun—went on to build rockets that eventually did take peo

I have a current-gen macbook pro and a Google Pixel 1. I feel like I'm living in a great, but precarious period when I can charge my phone and my laptop with the same cable, and plug my headphones into either my laptop or my phone (whi

One of the first computers I ever used was an Acorn, the only thing I can really remember about it was its odd mouse - it had three buttons (no scroll wheel) and both the middle and right buttons provided different context menus!

A touchscreen is a terrible interface for anything in a car, since you must look at it to operate it. Tactile dials/knobs you can feel for—and ideally feel different to each other—are the best interface for anything in your car that

Real life IDs can be forged/bought, multiples can be forged to verify others. There is no technical barrier to attacks on this sort of system, only financial barriers.

Other than making sure forest fires pose minimal risks to man-made infrastructure, what is 'practicing proper forestry'? These forests existed for millions of years before humans started managing them.

This is by far the worst. I have LP set up with a shortcut + fingerprint tap on my MBP, which works great until I'm generating a password, which never gets saved. I have to remember to get my vault page open ready to fill in before I
