I started reading the New Testament this last year. I’m an atheist, I think that Christian morals (as practiced) are despicable and horrible. But I’ve read modern moral philosophers talk positively of Jesus’s actual teachings. So I’ve decid

You are one of the commenters here who I am on the lookout for. You always have something insightful to say.

When my dad was working on Landsat images in the early 1970s they used to print out pages upon pages of numbers, color them in with markers, tape them up on a big wall, and then take a picture of it with a regular color camera. That is ho

Ouch. That first image has really bad kerning. It hurts my eyes.

I'm old and this is what is happening to me too. Nostalgia for my childhood computers that plug into TVs is one thing, and I know they sucked in so many ways that I'm happy I have left behind. But the time before my time (the 1970

Me too! Honestly, ever since I saw that years ago I wanted one. I don't even like the 6502. I would rather have the ARM1 ( http://www.visual6502.org/sim/varm/armgl.html ) but man, oh, man I love this idea. This

I have wondered the same but I think SMD wasn’t as cheap a decade ago as it is today for one-off designs. I wonder what a modern day jlc version would cost.

What ball joint mounts are you using? They aren’t the standard 1” balls right?

Is that leather on top of the plate? I bought a piece of leather to try that out for mine too.

Oh cool! I've been working on something similar. I am trying to move to a more ergo keyboard from a straight ortho and wanting to build something that fits on top of my laptop when I'm in bed, etc. So I had some "core" 6

Ooo you did that! I love your subreddit. We need to find more examples for it.

I paid $11 (shipped) for a pair of glasses from them for use in VR. I didn’t want to screw up my normal glasses. For eleven bucks they aren’t bad at all. Not my style. And I didn’t get any coating so the reflections are bad but man, I can’t

I was confused. I thought they were talking about the protocol you use to call a BBS from your modem: “AT DT 555-1234”

Good. I hope authors start writing more succinctly.

And if you walk you maintain health and live longer which means you are making even worse for the environment. Cars mean dying earlier which is better. Unsafe cars are even better. We should get rid of seatbelts and bollards. /snark

This is my common dream too. I realize that I’ve missed class all semester long and I try to show up without looking weird.

If it’s at all going to be used as something used in real time by humans it absolutely has to be real time. Who cares if your compile takes 12ms longer if the screen doesn’t immediately react to your input.

Exactly! I can hold the layer key and do the entire ()[] sequence for links in markdown in one go and every time I do that it makes me smile.

I'm at 48 keys right now, but I would like to counter that it's not just key presses you should care about, but also movement of the hands. My setup definitely isn't perfect but your example is exactly the kind of key sequenc

Most books aren't worth buying. Add those books to the waitlist on the library website and once a week pick up 20 books. 18 of them will be crap. 1 will be ok. 1 will be awesome and maybe worth buying. Try before you buy. Ehem, libgen

That's great. Especially if you have a lot of people telling you this is an awesome book worth reading. I've definitely put effort into reading hard books because of this. But mean, 95% of the stuff I read isn't this. It&#x27

This is actually good advice.

I used to think this way, but think about all of the amazing books that you didn't experience because you were stuck on a book that didn't click with you. There are a bazzilion books, you aren't going to read them all, you mi

Oh man I grew up in VW3. I knew no one else outside of my family and the facility at my dad’s university department that even heard of it.

I’m not sure this is either/or though. I have a secure/locked down device with iMessage and an open not-as-nice device for my playground as a programmer and hardware hacker.

Yeah it has been weird to me how many HOAs explicitly call out hairdresser as something you can’t do from home.

Airplanes. E/AB are slow enough to build that even if you are working full time they are still one-of-a-kind creations and can be built and sold.

From my dad: "I was the only one left at LARS @ 3 or 4 in the morning on May 25, 1972 when I displayed the first ERST/LANSAT, but nobody knew where in the US the image was taken, so I went to my car in the parking lot (the gold Po

Apparently my mom helped him with the color “printouts”. They would print out Rs Gs and Bs and my mom would color them in on the printout and they would tape it all on the wall and take a color picture of the wall with a regular old camera.

Wow that article is about what my dad did at Purdue in the 1970s!
