That's a 10440 lithium ion cell. It's the size of a AAA battery. Probably bigger than the keyboard needs but they are cheap, standardized, and easy to source.

Or poor quality boards. I know I didn’t use a real slate board until later in university and it makes a world of difference. Really you need both, great chalk and a great board. But when you have both the feel is superb :)

I upgraded to a Pace ADS200 and it’s dope.

Yeah, in the states we say 4x5, but in either case it’s the most common large format film size. You buy them in boxes and use them one sheet at a time.

My folks and I moved to a town outside Naples in 2000 and had a 128kbs symmetric ISDN. I remember it being fantastic. A huge upgrade from our 56k in the states at time of nascent Napster and online gaming.

The Olympus PEN cameras (and subsequent small cameras by olympus) have a in lens shutter that is simply two blades. The blades have a triangle cut out of each side and form a diamond shaped aperture. In this shutter the shutter blades form

I heard Stephen Segerman on NPR yesterday say that he eventually took his crooked manager to court and got the money from the record sales.

I believe the conceit here is that _why is communicating to us through a printer queue or "spool". PCL files are a form of printer data file.

We, as a field, should be very careful about forgiving our tools of the sin of complex and tedious design because those flaws can possibly be remediate with LLMs. The complexity of boilerplate does not only exist for the author but every fu

Just hash the whole function and be done with it. Joe Armstrong made a proposal for this (I’m pretty sure half tongue in cheek). https://joearms.github.io/published/2015-03-12-The_web_of_na...

Being a webapp and adding GPU rendering are not orthogonal. Figma for instance famously renders it's UI in WebGL. While I mostly agree that creators of today's web forget that there are a number of simple techniques to render fast

Totally. It would be /amazing/ if I could leverage the browser's existing (and largely excellent) document and text layout engine from /within/ WebGL. Let me build up my UI as I want, and inject a DOM into that.

I think you might be confused about where I'm coming from and starting at. I've been writing rich web applications professionally since 2004.

I was shocked to find that there wasn’t a fully fleshed out text rendering engine for WebGL. On the one hand I think you could argue that if you have a lot of text maybe html would suit your needs better. On the other hand a lot of UIs just

I’ve spent the last week playing around with running WASM apps executing WebGL. I’m exhausted by the modern web. There are so many layers and layers and layers, and none of it works very well! But WebGL rendering on the web offers a unique

This surprised me because I’d watched No Sudden Move by Soderbergh relatively recently and thought it looked pretty good. Reading more it seems like only Unsane and High Flying Bird were shot on phones (the latest of which was 2019).

For me this has nothing to do with wear on the nub itself. I’ve used a few trackpoints and it always ends with pain in my index fingers

Parachute pants or just as often “Hammer pants”.

Right I’m just confused how you would pronounce it. Because I would almost certainly default to saying pa like “awe”.

by aconbere 4y ago
I would pronounce pa as “paw”, like papa. Would you say it like the a in “apple”?

You’re insinuating a cause here, but I honestly don’t know what you think it is.

With apple pay your card number is never even sent to uber. Apple generates a unique virtual card number every time you use it.

I’ve got to admit having used packed structs in rust quite a bit i’m also a little confused about what Zig is improving on. Many years ago I wrote a rust program to decode some game save data and it looks like what you’d expect. https:&#x2

Hmmm, pnpm also uses hardlinks (or a reflink if it’s available) to copy out of a content addressable on disk cache.

Hmmm, the author of the tweet goes into more detail later in the thread. In this case their point wasn’t so much about adding decoration but about lying to the player about the danger. The game is presenting one thing “this is very dangerou
