They meant "thinks-they're-technical", which might clear things up. Putting dashes between a bunch of words isn't really a correct way to do this, but it's a way to smash a bunch of words together and pretend it&#x2

Reminds me of a video I saw in early alpha of a guy making a calculator with redstone. Not all the redstone conveniences existed yet, so it was... large. They weren't the first to do it, but it still blew my mind seeing the memory unit

Sums up most of my experiences when I try web dev haha. "Oooh that's neat... Not sure how I did it though."

The remark came across as highly negative Probably because it was. It was also a reply to a comment about a hypothetical future, which sort of implies speculation for all child comments. And how can something be absolutely embarrassing? W

I got a good chuckle out of 1. We can ensure that they won’t explode when we use them. (admittedly I understood very little after that ;P)

Alternatively set your account to use the old style, and then adblock-away the banner ad to switch to the new style.

Holy crap. This may seem weird, but I've been looking for boxes. I've got way too many small things that don't seem right in the open, but also don't have purpose built containers... If you're interested in making a

Holy crap! This has been one of those things I've been wanting for so long! Thanks!

Would it be reasonable to put that entire paragraph in the headline instead?

It seems to break in a different way every time I reload the page.

We need to make an internet pact to kill floating "navigation" bars. Especially when they don't do anything other than display your name, face, and a hamburger menu. If you want the hamburger to follow me down the page just h

Could that just be the feeling of being outdoors, and away from distractions for a while?

Sorry if this is off topic, but does anyone know what model/brand of the satphone pictured in the hardware/daily gear section? Alternatively if anyone here knows that market I'd appreciate some guidance in terms of what brand

Does being a dick remove someone from history? Primary contributors to projects smaller than DTrace have wiki pages, and I bet at least a few of them are dicks. I suppose wipe those out too.

Oh dear. I'm late to my own party. I'll look into settings all that up. I wasn't aware you could even take over that part of windows. Do you mean modify the iso before installing? Most of the not-a-kid-poking-things part of m

Where can a regular end user get an LTSC version? Last time I looked around the conversation quickly dissolved into piracy. Not sure if I was just looking in the wrong places though.

Also going to chime in and say I've got one with monitor arm (only one monitor mind) and bookshelf speakers (also not a lot of weight). No wobble after 2 years or so. When assembling I did feel that the actual attachment of the surface

I can totally see that happening too... There is an upside to that terrible timeline though: an opportunity to have the new name be USB-C++

You know I never even considered the cable itself in the whole usb-c equation. And labeling them is a hard problem to solve. Not technically, but aesthetically. We COULD just make different colors mean different things (But then you have to

In a USB-backed world things do seem to go pretty smoothly. I'm looking forward to that all USB-C world too :) Imagine never having to think about which way a plug should go! I suppose my biggest gripe is that things that aren't U

by kiddico 8y ago
I'm torn with USB-C. We're finally getting some cool additions to the most used standard (though I don't know If I like this one), but at the cost of fragmenting it to the point that it's not so much a standard anymore.

I've nearly worked my way through the Idle Thumbs archive, and was starting to think I'd run out of driving entertainment soon :P I'll add this to my podcast rotation.

Interesting. I guess I've been accidentally optimizing when I put everything in a main() call after an "if __name__..."

You can always reupload, but the new video will have a different link. Which is a nightmare if it got popular on a link aggregation site.

I've worked in one of those places. Once you work on the same machine a few times you get really good at it. If you've got the time to go slow its kind of therapeutic.

It's good to see that the battery isn't glued to the top case. I'm not sure if the airs have ever had it glued, but the pros sure did. It was always a bummer to tell people that a bad battery meant replacing the entire upper

Yeah, the fade animation is a bit on the long side.
