There is a fair amount of thought that has gone in to that, often referred to as the Wait Calculation. An interesting example was "Interstellar Travel - The Wait Calculation and the Incentive Tra…

I don't know. Katya pimps nail polish, and Adam pushes pastries disguised as tales of street meetings with prominent leaders. Either that or I'm getting the wrong message from brexitcast. …

FWIW, I switched that same project to meson¹ about six months later with no pushback whatsoever. I expected there to be some, but it went through review with uniform agreement. I'm not sure what…

> [make guile extensions] Just a note from someone who was bitten by GNU make and guile integration last year. Huge numbers of systems have old make versions with no support for guile extensions…

For others that are predictable like this, I push my downloads through a script before they hit my player. Back of the envelope zsh example to scrub first and last minute: for f (*.mp3) { mp3sp…

Hmm, at what point do all the trailers for other shows tip in to the advert category? I wouldn't want to try counting how many times I heard a trailer about 13 Minutes to the Moon last year, whic…

To make that point with an example, my go to for any new disk image or real drive is disktype¹ which produces: --- cursed.img Regular file, size 4 MiB (4194304 bytes) FAT12 file system (…

> I realized at one point that it was probably EMP-proof Different kind of bike, but I used to feel that way about my bicycles. However, sometime last year I was parking at the office and realised…

This feels, to me, like it is straddling the line between spam and a really clever art project featuring a link-ouroboros that generates cash as it swallows links to itself. That said the $25k in quic…

fzf-vim's :BLines¹ can enable a live search for most basic needs. For example, something like unicode.vim's :UnicodeTable, followed by :BLines, then yl to grab the char. Note: I'm onl…

I really appreciate the section on alternatives¹, and I wish more people would add these to their projects. Not only does it show the author is aware of the current landscape, it may even help users …

Inscrutable may have been a little strong, but just having a re-test here shows me a nine argument curl call in some paths. I'm not saying you can't inspect it, but there is a lot going on …

> I feel like keybase is great as a key-management platform and _that's it_. I agree, although I'll freely admit I haven't tried to use the other features all that much. However, I d…

As a big proponent of F# it annoys me how much one still needs to fight "but M$" arguments if I point out a thing that F# does well. The same thing seems to happen when discussing Haskell w…

I can't read about commodity hardware stargazing without my mind drifting to 2bit Astrophotography¹ which used the Gameboy Camera². If you compare a paper star chart from the Gameboy era to Stell…

I really like the level of that documentation. Very beginner friendly, with a reasonable level of completeness mingled within. A short diversion for basic std::env::args() access, with a quick switc…

That is 04:00 UTC, to save others the `TZ=America/Los_Angeles date`.

Clearly, it isn't an alternative to an e-tron or i-pace, but yet another point of attack on ICE is surely a good thing.

While from the folks at Amiga Ireland, they discuss far more than just their conference and local scene. Turns out there are plenty of things still happening...
