I’ve posted this before but if you’re in London and have a day to spare it’s very easy to get to Bletchley Park. Just take the train from Euston station. 1 hour ride worst case. Then it’s a five minute walk from the station. Well worth it.

Also you can create and destroy (assuming the 'user_subvol_rm_allowed' mount option) BTRFS subvolumes without being root.

I visited Bletchley Park museum this summer when in London. Can recommend and it's also really easy to get there; just a 50 minute train ride from London Euston station, and 5 minute walk to the museum. Entire family enjoyed the museum

Our house have geothermal heating (heatpump conncted to 160m drilled hole, pretty common in Scandinavia). The heatpump supports having a coolant loop for cooling the house in the summer. Thus the heat pump pretty much exchanges heat from th

The final version of the Kinect, called "Azure Kinect" was based around the ADSD3100 time-of-flight sensor from Analog Devices. The Kinect has since been abandoned by Microsoft. However, Analog offers a match-box sized module ADTF

At work I've introduced various in-house tooling based on Dear Imgui and people are just blown away by how fast everything is. "I didn't know computers could be this fast and responsive". I say, well just think about the

Yup, Rolled my own BLE Peripheral stack on NRF52 relying on nothing but Nordic's docs and the BLE specification. It's not fully feature complete but works well enough for me to communicate with the mcu from my MacBook using l2cap

I’m on both iOS, macOS and Linux. One thing that’s keeping me using Google Maps is not having Apple Maps in the browser (on Linux). This definitely could lower the switching threshold.

Yeah, seems OK now, must have been a temporary (CDN ?) fluke.

FWIW, for my own personal projects I resort to vendor id 6666 (Prototype).

FWIW where I live in Sweden the delivery is charged based on peak usage also for residential customers. Based on average of top three peak kWh/h in a month.

imtui looks interesting. A text based backend for Dear ImGui. Never tested it myself though. https://github.com/ggerganov/imtui

This reminds me of a funny event when in fourth of fifth grate. When the class was supposed to stand in line we always had to sort based on last name. My last name started with Ö (Last letter in alphabet in the Nordics) so I always ended up

I think it's a missed opportunity that Roland doesn't have a https://www.roland.com/global/products/sp-404mk2/ on their 404 page.

I don’t miss my old Amiga that much. But I do regret that I didn’t keep copies of source code for various projects I did on the Amiga. Mostly for nostalgic reasons of course.

One of the biggest upsides of an EV is that you charge at home. Always start in the morning fully charged. No "Dang, need to go to the station". H2 is definitely not a step in that direction so for me it's DOA.

Correct. I've lived both in US (Cali) and EU (Sweden) with a Tesla. And apart from that's is a different plug there's virtually no difference at all. 250kW DC charging. No problems.

Somewhat related is that a few filesystem types on Linux allows you to remove / insert bytes "within" a file. But it needs alignment to filesystem block size. This uses the same syscall, fallocate(2), which can be used to pun

For SIGTERM I agree that it should perform a clean shutdown. Though for all software I write, I make sure that SIGINT is either not trapped at all (so the process just exits via the default signal handler) or pretty much _exit() from inside

Honestly, all I ask from a terminal emulator is to have a slick and fast search UX (similar to item on macOS)
