I did the same. It took a couple days to get used to it though. It would throw you off balance on turns.

I've done a much shorter route, but still long with a similar amount of preparation - Port Angeles, WA to San Francisco, CA I can not recommend it highly enough. It took us 2 weeks which is a much more reasonable amount of time to take

FWIW, here's the bezier algorithm in Python: def bezier(t, *handles): """Computes a single point of a bezier of any order where 0 <= t <= 1.""" if len(handles) == 1:

This is how SVG and most other drawing programs are implemented under the hood. Down at the lowest level the engine can only really do straight lines. You may ask for a circle or a bezier, but the engine only approximates this with enough f

I know this is only a sample size of 1, but I get my Levi's from the outlet store. I got two pairs of 531's about 6 years ago and basically lived in those two pairs. I wasn't sliding around on the ground, but I was doing wood

The real hidden gem in that deal would have been keeping Motorola's cable set-top box. It owned more than half of the cable box market, and would have been an opportunity to push YouTube TV and Google TV into the hands of the majority

Every time I've shopped at a Hobby Lobby, I've gotten a weird feeling that there's something else shady going on. They don't use barcodes to price any of the goods. Everything has a sticker on it, and the cashier types u

I've gotten calls asking if the business (not a restaurant) was going to be open on a holiday. It was clearer than a typical person calling, quick, and easy to confirm. I'd rather take these calls than actual people.

I don't think the screw is biting into any material. You can see the screw drop pretty far into the hole. Keep in mind it isn't counter-sinking the hold at all. I think he's driving the screw into the substrate and setting i

I've got a Shaper that I use for some projects, and I went this way with spindles for it. I picked up three extras, and one spindle is permanently 1/4" downcut, one is 1/4" upcut, one is a 1/4" bowl bit,

Yeah, I've heard that ABA is for the parents, not for the children with autism.

The mobile ad industry is weird, and has some perverse incentives. Good games don't advertise (they don't need to). Games that hook the users just enough that they can show them more ads tend to plow that money right back into adv

Of the recent places I've worked, both use it. Block was at ~14,000 employees, but I think they're currently at ~12,500. My current company uses it, and we're ~2,000.

I'm in this industry, and I have knowledge about this. It's important to point out that it takes a long time for uptake of new versions of ad SDKs. The general assumption is that it takes about 6 months after release of a new vers

Fun fact, this is the same Skinner that eventually wrote the book on modern autism treatment, aka Applied Behavior Analysis.

I was bit by this really hard. At some point in the past, while we were dating, I had my wife's phone and changed my contact name to something far more risqué than "Hot Wife". I called her, she saw it come up, we laughed, she

You forget over time, and obligations grow. My first layoff was rough. It was in '00 and I was 21, so I didn't have too many obligations. My second layoff was in '23 and I was 44 with kids and a mortgage. It hit me a lot hard

I was laid off twice, about a year apart. Both affected me deeply, and clearly in a traumatic way. The last one was about a year ago. My spidey-sense has been tingling for the last couple weeks, and there's a vesting cliff coming up, s

I don't even put education anymore. I dropped out of university, so in my early years it took a lot of tuning my resume to give the impression that I had a degree without actually saying it. Thankfully I had taken summer courses at a d

As someone who found out that way twice in the last two years, I also thought I had been let go. Anxiety is a hell of a drug.

I did one of the more extreme sleep schedules for a little over a year. Generally I was happy I did it, and there are tons of times that I wish I could again, but external pressure prevent me from doing it again. I always try to dissuade pe

This happens to me too. Particularly when it's on a narrow horizontal repetition (like wooden slats on a wall). I attribute mine to playing a lot of the game Magic Carpet from the mid to late 90's. It had some interesting graphics

One of the lessons I learned early in my career was from the Mythical Man-Month, about building a pilot system. It's often paraphrased as "you're going to throw the first one away". I think this is the bridge between wat

At one point I built a type-based state machine core for Java. The idea was to use interfaces and classes as the basis for defining what transitions are allowed, and as a way to store the associated fields. It relied on Java's type-che
