Apparently, for a thousand bucks-ish one could become an owner of arsetechnica[.]com. And in a way I am glad I don't have a disposable $1k laying around.

The "return to office" plan has been championed by an exec who literally moved to the other side of the country.

Nobody mourned the shift from warm and thick CRTs to slender and cool LCDs more than cats. #caturday #RetroComputing

3d printing trick: when designing a complicated part that's supposed to interface with something (idk, a phone case):

  1. Export a 2d drawing in 1:1 scale and print it on a regular printer. Cut it out and fit to the part. Pros: very quick and cheap iteration. Cons: meh precision, unless you have god-level scissors skills, hard time with non-flat parts.
  2. Make a simplified template part that's quick to 3d print and fit that. If you got some dimensions wrong, adjust, cut away all elements that fit well and re-print. Pros: actually representative of the accuracy your printer will be able to give you, can fit non-flat parts. Cons: kind of slower, though not nearly as bad as printing and scrapping the full part.

The knight rode up to the dragon's lair.

"Dragon!" he called. "Are you still lying on your hoard?"

"I... yes," the dragon replied, after a while.

"Is it hard to get up?"

"...it is."

"Is it your body, your mind, or your heart that makes it so?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I want to help."

START DOING MATH NUMBERS WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO BE GIVEN NAMES MILLEANIA OF RESEARCH yet NO REAL-WORLD use needed to justify this AMAZING SUBJECT Want to try using maths to model reality anyway? We have atool for that: it's called "APPLIED MATHEMATICS” "Can you have ZERO of something? Is there such a thing as INFINITY?” - Deranged statements that nonetheless can be rigorously defined and formalized LOOK at the Beautiful things mathematicians have created/discovered, using all of the calculators and computers that we have built for them (This is REAL Math, done by REAL Mathematicians): 3d plot of the gamma function Numerical oscillations in 2d Compound of five cubes "Hello here's the Riemann Surface for f(z) = square root(z) They have done a wonderful job

tech be like:

hiring a staff engineer: one req, six hours of interviews

promoting to staff: a ten page promo doc requiring months of effort, feedback from dozens of colleagues, and approval by six layers of management

… and then we wonder why the average tenure is so short.

@glennf @gruber A great feature for any Mac with ≥2 USB C ports would be built-in cable testing. You plug both ends of one cable to the Mac, and the OS automatically detects that, no UI needed, and pops up a dialog saying “this cable supports x mbps and x Watts power delivery”. That’s it, there is no step 3!

Why are so many C developers self-taught? Because C doesn’t have classes!
