The DCT is a cool primitive. By extracting the low frequency coefficients, you can get a compact blurry representation of an image. This is used by preload thumbnail algorithms like blurhash and thumbhash. It's also used by some image

Nature recently posted an interesting video [1] about what causes developing hearts to have their first beat. The gist is that eventually random electrical noise triggers a propagating wave which is then continued and repeated by the cellul

Ton is a personal hero of mine. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a 3d animator because of Ton. I discovered Blender in the early 2000s as a kid. It was my first exposure to digital art tools because it was free. When Blender open sourced in

I replicate my entire filesystem to a local NAS every 10 minutes using zrepl. This has already saved my bacon once when a WD_BLACK SN850 suddenly died on me [1]. It's also recovered code from some classic git blunders. It shouldn'

Sounds like a good time to engage a professional coach or therapist, if you haven't already. Particularly to deep dive on the questions asked at the end of the post. In my experience, I often stalemate these kinds of internal debates o

Migrating out of this mess caused me downtime. Squarespace's domain panel crashed with a nondescript error when I tried to update nameservers prior to transferring out, and they shut off the Google nameservers as soon as the transfer w

My favorite part: If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the 100% possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this 100% is to make it 1000% free software which everyone can redistribute and 100% change under 100% the

Keybase always performed crypto on-device using their open source client written in Go. What not-your-keys not-your-crypto setup are you referring to?

Funny story -- when I was working on the xkcd Machine comic, I actually used the ZFS snapshots to rescue data. I accidentally blew away some early physics prototype code and fished it out of /.zfs/snapshot.
