"Book about ideas for a book" was entertaining and very economical. I wish more authors would do that and stop wasting our precious time. https://fi-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Aiheita?_x_tr...

We only need Steve Mould to explain what this "Diffusion"-crap actually means.

Erh? Are you complaining about some minor adjustment, so that lines are not meeting the curves smoothly? I did not even understand what TANGENT means, cause I know much nothing about CAD.

13 minutes. And I am very much at the lower end of the CAD skill scale $fn=100; difference(){ union(){ cylinder(d=55,h=60); translate([125,0,0]) cylinder(d=30,h=32); linear_extrude(11) polygon([[0,25],[125,

"Can I microwave 3d-printed ABS to remelt it and make it stronger?". -- No, said ChatGPT, and continued with lengthy essay, which proved why it does not work. Saved me not hours, but DAYS of futile testing.

OTH. Rich kids of Helsinki, who were home-schooled, had always weird allergies and all-year-round flu when they grew older. They were mostly Swedish-speakers and we made fun of those snotty sniffing brats.

Works surprisingly well. I actually bothered to listen "discussions" about these boring-looking papers. English is particularly bad to read aloud because it is like programming language Fortran based on immutable tokens. If you wa

I distinctly remember my shock when I realized the "winter" was coming again. Previous year was thus my whole experienced life-time. The winter 1956 was indeed difficult in Finland. Because of general strike and Hungarian Uprising

It is called normalize-like-hunt. Famous Kite Aerial Photographer Alan Hunt suggested doing it manually in Paint Shop Pro. Winter scenes were particularly problematic, as early digital cameras invented crazy colors for snow.

Normalize each color channel individually. You will be astonished how well this works. gm convert $1 -channel red -normalize -channel green -normalize -channel blue -normalize normalized/$1

Android Total Commander has plugins for all above mentioned services. So they are well integrated together. I dont even have those official apps installed.

All of them. Google Photos/Drive because of AI-search. Dropbox because easy integration with local filesystems. Onedrive because sometimes one just has to use Windows.

Only problem is that the strap turned into spaghetti in 4 years. Battery life is still OK.

That was the last watch with "trans-reflective" display. If I turn the seconds-indicator off, it runs for a MONTH aka 700 hours. Our goal for battery life is 18 hours after an overnight charge -- Apple Watch

I re-redesigned my own watchface. The result is that the hour-indicator grew bigger and bigger, because that is the main need when the sun is not shining. https://github.com/timonoko/Amazfit

Best measure is to check out which movies have not disappeared from the hard disk. And that is both Solaris'es and couple of Kurosawas. And Leningrad Cowboys. Mostly because infinite source of funny snippets and memes.

Too long, cannot watch. What does the P=NP problem mean? Simplest possible explanation. ChatGPT said: The P=NP problem is a big question in computer science about how fast we can solve problems with computers. P represents all the problem

I tried it, but it does not work in DOSEMU. Must be bypassing BIOS somehow.

I found it. VIR (21 KB) added 01/28/1998 (Game) Version 1.2 by Andreas Garzotto VIR is a falling block game for the HP 100/200LX that is similar to a virus eliminator game on the Gameboy (tm). Copyrighted freeware. https

There was very addictive Tetris-clone called VIR. It had falling viruses and strange rules of annihilation and contamination. I have only seen it on HP100LX palmtop 1992, and it did not run on other MSDOS-machines.

Columbia Clacier @ Alaska seems have almost disappeared in 30 years. I hated it so much, because camping by the fjord you could see fresh seaweed hanging from the trees. It was constantly calving and causing massive waves.

Quite obvious that in 5 years most HN readers are queuing for neuralink. The speed improvement does not come from code writing perse, but verification, you can run all failure paths in your head 1000 times faster.
