   I just keep thinking about this short film[0] that explores the views you can see with rotational artificial gravity, and how nauseating it could be :) [0] https://vimeo.com/869858712 also available as https://ww

   The first I learned about flow field pathfinding, was when then colleague implemented it for a j2me game he was developing, called Turbo Camels[0]. I was quite young then (just joined my first "real job"), and was very impressed b

   I found the video to be great! Informative and understandable even when I'm just casually interested in compilers, with not a lot of real world experience writing them.

   Finally, I could use _actual_ wallpaper as the desktop background ;) While the display doesn’t have very good obvious advantages in actual use, that would be cool enough to use just because it’s possible :)

   For the longest time I had memorised the weird dpmi commands to enable 13h mode and get the screen buffer address. I don't think I can remember anymore. Good times :) Also the one place I learned to use `info`, as it had a very good re

   Heh, back when, I used to do (Q/Turbo)Basic stuff like: PRINT "Welcome!" INPUT "Password: ", pw$ and so on, with very little actual functionality. I guess some themes of toy projects are evergreen, even i

   But is there really no downside to "driving a truck" in US? Out here northern europe, if a car is classified as a truck, then you have lower speed limits, and possibly need to drive a separate truck-driving-license.

    So it seems to be behind a sign-up. Is this just a temporary measure to have some notion of "control" while its still being developed, or is this how they are positing it as? Is it interesting project enough that people will jump

    Ah, thats what I meant! The shell that `iterm2` logs in with, not `chsh`. I was a bit ambiguous there.

    Last time (about a month ago) I tried use it as my login shell, for a brief while. I really want to like it, but change is always difficult :) The issues that I struck immediately where: 1. The macos `open` / nushell `open` conflict (v

    Hm, "rare elevator" made me assume that it must be about paternoster, but its not! The pop-out seems to refer to the buttons.

    Every few months I see new mind blowing NeRF results, but I wonder if there is a usable project that I could try it myself. Be it open source project, or commercial product. Also I'm not quite sure what time scales are we talking about

    I'm not too familiar with docker infra at large, but could the docker hub in principle act just as a namespace such that the opensource projects could have the images hosted elsewhere, but docker hub just redirects them there, so savin

    If its a app with a document model, it kinda has to? You close a word document, and then open another (through menu item), it shouldn't close the app in between. Also its not uncommon for me to close all the browser windows but leave

    Google Hamina datacenter uses sea water to cool. I doubt they directly circulate it to the loops, perhaps some heat exchanger thing is more likely.
