Well, this is Microsoft and Windows; it would be weird if it got better.

I can pour myself a bowl of cheerios. That doesn’t mean I’m easily impressed by someone else preparing a similar bowl of cereal. Though, I have been finding a lot of utility in programs that support otherwise deprecated hardware, now that i

The Washington County library system is excellent; I love that one card will get you access to the entire area.

There’s certainly novelty to this, I’d love one if the price were reasonable. Direct capture, almost like a polaroid for vinyl records, no need to “develop” it. I imagine artists could sell a super-limited (i.e. 1 copy) live recording of a

Neat page, though having a section for total number of devices might be useful, anything that can download a lot of data via automatic updates. Video games are in the hundreds of gigs now. Having a faster connection than strictly necessary

I reckon most folks have made a git oopsie and needed to re-clone a repo at least once in their career. Having a “local remote” would be an awfully quick way to do that, especially in situations with no/low network connection or a flak

> valid AF Nope. We already had a frigging phrase for that, and it’s “completely valid”, not “valid AF” or “cromulent” or whatever. Dumb.

Emergency broadcast is a big one, as well as location-specific information like road conditions.

The custom css is tight, love using inky blacks on my oled devices with just a single style sheet.

Agreed, it's amazing they don't crash more often, given the complexity of it all.

If we view this through the lens of the “American civil religion“, these spectacles aren’t too unlike crowds of folks gathering to witness miracles.

This might explain why Apple has so many positions open at their Beaverton office, which coincidentally is not too far from ASML and Intel.

From what I recall, caffeine is mostly a concern for folks with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions. Most adults can build tolerance, and I believe some studies are showing potential links between caffeine consumption and positive outcom

I had a calc prof years ago that would say f of cow, or f of pig instead of x or g. It was more engaging trying to keep track of f of pig of cow than the single-letter func names. He was one of those classic types; you could always catch hi

Maybe it's because I type like one would play the piano (with hands curved, fingers well below the palms), but I've never ran into an issue like this with a laptop before, wrists always clear the edges by a couple inches. All the

Thanks for the share, crazy that 1-2mm polyethylene is all it takes to cap a landfill. Practical Engineering put out an excellent video on landfills a couple years back, well worth the watch for the visualizations alone. https://

Not sure they count as “products” in this context, but TypeScript and Playwright are still nice.

> If you already own OpenTTD on Steam, nothing changes. You’ll continue to receive game updates as usual. If you ever need to re-download the game, the game will remain in your Steam library. This part of the announcement was nice, too.

It’s a shame of bulk of that training data is likely 2010s blogspam that was poor quality to begin with.

Hacking together a little 3d snake game for my steamdeck, heavily “inspired” by that spherical snake post last week. Never published to Steam before, it’s been a fun learning process.

I’m in the market for a solid travel router, and my home network is all Unifi gear. This is a no brainer, especially with the built-in Teleport support.
