We got a Sodastream for Christmas along with a SodaMod kit which comes with three food-grade tanks with paintball fill valves. That way you can fill them at a sporting goods store for $5 instead of exchanging them for $15. Related to the

I've enjoyed learning, inspired by DeviantOllam and LPL. The clear practice locks are amazing for getting you used to the process. I haven't managed to pick anything that isn't see-through yet, but I enjoy trying. The highl

WFH since 2006 in 5 different houses (one with wheels), so I've had a bunch of different setups. Started on a desktop with triple monitors, but my sweet spot seems to be a 15" laptop with a 15" ASUS M168B USB monitor next to

What other sites do you recommend with less math-focused problems?

by jweather 5y ago
No, because they have leaderboards. You have your choice of Google, Github, Twitter, or Reddit though. I don't believe Reddit even requires an e-mail address to create an account.

There's some laugh-out-loud moments in some of his other videos too, but it's like a Where's Waldo to find them. Somebody should make a highlight reel...

This was a lot of fun, thanks. I enjoy Advent of Code and the like -- this is similar, but with less guidance about what to do next.

Yup... I have to support VBScript for one of our digital signage platforms. Always a joy...

.NET Compact Framework 3.5. Might not sound that old, but it's only supported in Visual Studio 2008. Microsoft keeps trying to kill it off, but the manufacturer I support is still shipping products using it.

I don't see this as a bad thing. Shell scripts are a great way to prototype text processing pipelines using multiple smaller components.

Structure is function at this level. Many proteins simply provide binding sites for a specific molecule. Others have multiple binding sites and combine molecules together into larger ones. All of these interactions are governed by the po

Reducing the impact of the bus factor, then. Kind of like turning down the air conditioning... which way does the thermostat go?

This is a very cool project, and a fantastic writeup. Personally I would have been tempted to extend the architecture to add unsigned i16 support.

Having a long last name and long company domain name, my work address weighs in at 31 characters, not fun to spell over the phone. I just use a different address if I have to spell it over the phone.

My wife uses something like sendmestuff44@<major provider>.com for her junk mail which gets a lot of funny looks from cashiers but works great.

I spent hours debugging an issue that boiled down to an IPV4 parser that treated leading zeroes as octal. Connections to 192.168.123.100 worked as expected. Connections to 192.168.123.034 went to 192.168.123.28. I thought sure it was an i

I wouldn't call it easy, but it is possible. The tools are not very polished, but they exist and are free... (start with Roblox Studio)

DragonRealms on AOL was a huge part of my life for a couple of years in the 90s. I believe it was a direct successor to GS3.

Cycling quickly between the frequencies. The modulation on the Tesla coils is fast enough for them to give the illusion of multiple notes.

The AHK script that has saved me the most RSI is mapping Caps Lock to double-click. Sounds weird, but didn't take long to pick up, and has saved me uncountable mouse clicks.

Buying a foreclosure is the same as any other home purchase -- get an inspection and title search to know what you're getting into. You're not "buying all responsibilities" any more than you are when purchasing a home t

Please do check it out. Supercollider is like walking into a fully-stocked machine shop with a comprehensive 9000-step guide to building your own car. Sonic Pi is like a go-kart with the engine already running. It's very approachabl

Sonic Pi is a friendly Ruby face on the Supercollider engine, so the family resemblance is no coincidence. I'm not sure what a universal API would look like, but you can easily build Sonic Pi sketches to take in things like OSC or MID

Same here -- it's absolutely fascinating to see the space race from the other side, as well as seeing Soviet impressions of the Apollo program and the Cold War. Highly recommended.

OpenSCAD is one of my favorite tools for building 3D printable things. I never could wrap my head around Blender or Solidworks, but OpenSCAD makes sense to me. It will be very interesting to see what it's like to work with it in a mo

LED video walls are down in the 0.7mm dot pitch vicinity. Not quite the ~0.3mm of a 4K 55" LCD, but we're getting there. And the brightness and contrast ratio can't be beat.

The annoying thing is that you can't turn off those notifications, which pop up in your tray and e-mail box. If there were options for turning off notifications it would be perfect for my use case.

My favorite use case for AWS is being able to spin up temporary resources for rendering, video transcoding, or lab testing, and then shut them back down after a few hours. Likewise I can see a huge win for cyclical traffic loads in only pa
