There's a good video on how PS/2 works here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aXbh9VUB3U It's pretty straight-forward. There are also pre-made kits for digitizing typewriters if that interests you.

I recently moved an Eleventy static site to start generating AVIF images. It is absolutely incredible the savings. I have images which went from 260kB to 16! I used an npm module called @11ty/eleventy-img which renders the image varian

That’s the definition of biased sampling.

In 2014 I started a company, and chose Heroku as the easiest way to get my (Go) code running in the cloud. Last year I started a company, and to my surprise, Heroku was still the easiest way to get my (Go) code running in the cloud. I fully

It's important to understand that there were many extinction events throughout the history of the earth. Just in the world of Foraminifera there were at least seven catastrophic events which wiped out all or most of entire genetic line

Atomic structure shifts are not conventionally considered ‘moving’. Most people wouldn’t call water turning to ice a ‘movement’.

It's often not actually more complex, it's simpler. With Cloudflare Workers, for example, you don't think about regions, availability zones, provisioning resources, or cold starts. You just write code, and it can scale from o

If it wasn't in Unicode it's highly unlikely your computer could render it to you in your own comment. The Canadian system very likely doesn't support Unicode, or intentionally limits the supported character set.

Realistically the government just needs to support Unicode which has been around since the early 90s.

I believe one reason people are responding negatively to the frame is there is insufficient padding around the content before the frame begins. I know it would be painful to not use all the screen real estate, but I think there needs to be

For the record, I started my career at HubSpot and found it to be a genuinely very well ran place. It actually spoiled me a bit, I had no idea most places have bad PMs or don’t give engineers autonomy.

I agree with this. You can get a kit [1] to hardwire a UPS. You could then take the output of the UPS and run it into a subpanel with a separate 15 amp breaker for each room. That way you won't have extension cords, etc. which might on

I can’t speak to how it’s actually solved, but I can give a sketch from my experience. The game is generally to (1) consider denormalizing data and (2) rethink when you have the computer do work. Denormalizing data refers to moving away fro

If anyone would like to get involved with cave diving, it’s somewhat accessible. For about $5k in training, $5k in equipment, and perhaps four weeks of time you can gain the experience and certification necessary to dive caves.

Precession and torque are uniquely important to understand in tailwheel aircraft where you are pitching the plane up and down while the wheels remain on the ground. The thing that always bothers me about the explanations personally is how r

They absolutely can clear someone to land while traffic is still taking off on the runway. Generally they will have the landing traffic go around if they can’t get the taking off traffic off fast enough. I believe somewhere they can also la

For anyone who hasn’t seen it I also recommend JO 7110, it’s the document that governs all of the behavior of Air Traffic Control. I know many pilots who had no idea they could see exactly how decisions were made on the other side of the ra

> general aviation crashes are often fatal For the record something like 85% of GA crashes have no fatalities. A Cessna 172 will fly down to 40 knots, which is significantly slower than a car crash on the highway.

I would bet you can get a third class medical. Go to an AME, they’ll ask you to get letters from your other doctors.

I think the fundamental flaw is trying to be 'successful'. Playing that game invariably requires you to pretend to be what you think the market wants. I would suggest you think about building something you want that you find fun.

I totally disagree. The Kraken diving case is exceptional. I did 20+ dives with it in Micronesia this year and the photos are about as good as anyone is going to get without a DSLR. In fact, I was more limited by my lighting than by the cam

The real dream for me would be something solving the satisfiability problem of conference rooms (obviously not an issue this moment anymore). If it was possible for every meeting to have a priority the computer could figure out which meetin
