It must be clock-making time... I built a 24-hour clock a few days ago but in base-12 and with 72 seconds per minute (to reuse the outer 24-hour dial, with 3 subdivisions to make it closer to the normal second) https://jasonincan

I wrote a few scripts to help people study the orbits of the first five planets and moons with Stellarium. Here's one that is supposed to simulate a TV station that is on an hourly loop (it uses your computer clock to decide what shoul

You might find my orbit-diagrams repo interesting: https://github.com/jasonincanada/orbit-diagrams It's a way to render function application/composition in 3D. In particular you'd probably like the proof

I wonder if this explains how I almost never see the minutes click over on a digital clock. I think of how often I check the time, say maybe 1 second at a time staring at the clock, it should at least every now and then be flicking over to

There used to be a keyboard called Optimizr produced by a company called Matias: https://matias.ca/optimizer/ It hardware-mapped the CapsLock key to be a modifier for a bunch of other things, basically allowing your ri

I just coded an example usage of this monad last week: https://github.com/jasonincanada/kattis/blob/master/src/Pivo... This tests each element of a list to see if it's a pivot, meaning it'

It's scriptable! I took far too many hours of staring and pondering to come up with a set of scripts for new astronomers to get a sense of the size and duration of the solar system's main planets and moon orbits: https:/&#x

I've been using Dvorak for about 20 years and am still happy with it, so I have no plans to switch to another layout or back to qwerty. My qwerty speed and accuracy have suffered a bit but I still use it on my phone to send SMSs, so i

I use dvorak full-time on my desktop PC, but I never bothered to switch my cell phone key layout so it's still qwerty, and I send a few texts a day. I don't even notice the change anymore, I can fluidly switch between the two. I

I've thought about this, are patent offices even needed anymore? We used to need the centralized store of timestamps--proof of who thought of what idea first. Since you can check your idea into github these days, and show later you w
