- jimbobthrowawyMulti talented. He also wrote the fastest standards compliant json library.
- Crimmas!
- Did you forget to double space between the lines, or put leading spaces?
Also, I had to turn off firefox's enhanced tracking protection for the font to load. Before that it was unicode tofu.
- Can you still buy Olestra to use in your own cooking for that purpose?
I have seen a video by Applied Science on youtube where he made some and fried chips in it.
- So, a "Grocery Positioning System"?
I wonder how much better this does than CCC's attempts at indoor navigation for their conferences. Those are usually pretty fun to read about.
- I was going to shout out Tesco specifically, for a similar feature they have on their website/app in Ireland/UK.
If you find a product's page, there's an "other items on this shelf" section which shows items that are located next to it. It's probably not intended to help you locate things, but it's incredibly helpful for it.
Adds way more things for you to notice and tell you're in the right location. Same haystack, more needles.
- Glad to hear something's being done with the data from the weather radar most commercial jets have. The thought occurred to me about halfway through reading the blogpost.
I hope that data's available publicly, though likely not as publicly as ADSB broadcasts.
- ESA isn't part of the EU. The UK and Switzerland are members of it.
- I appreciate that the site tells you when you create something that's never been discovered before. Especially when it happens with what you thought were pretty common combinations.
- Youtube has multi-stream capability and I've seen one streamer use it years ago to let you pick which multiplayer user to spectate. I assume they used separate streams inside in the .m3u8 file used for HLS, much like how you'd do different resolutions. Haven't seen it done in years.
.mkv files natively support adding an arbitrary number of video tracks, though player support is kind of rare. (it's _ by default to cycle video tracks in mpv)
- Are you using something like an ESP32 to run the thing? I ask because a lot of them have a surprising amount of random sensors tacked on, like accelerometers. (capacitive, and hall-effect sensors too) Auto-orientation is probably a thing you'd need to design for though.
- If anyone is in the situation that they need to put an untrustworthy app on their android device, the "work profile" feature can segment it off further.
Insular is an app that lets you create and manage one of these profiles on the device itself: https://gitlab.com/secure-system/Insular
- ICANN expressly forbid google, and other companies from operating these gTLDs as "dotless" domains back when they approved them. Annoyingly, URLs like "maps.google" aren't set up to go where you'd expect.
- Is it really 3/4ths the language? (mostly culled libraries, or features?) I remember reading an old pdf published by the US air force about the subset of c++ features you're allowed to use for contracted software, and it's so different it may as well be a different language.
I think I found it via a stackexchange answer about how the "Wiring" language for Arduino sketches differs from regular c++. In Wiring, it's mostly things like no rtti, no virtual methods not resolvable at compile time, no exceptions, unsafe-math, permissive casting, pre-build system concatenates all .ino files into one .cpp file, very limited libraries, and some default includes.
- I think they had a similar system before to replace all the audio in your video with something from the youtube audio library. The first thing in the list was a song called "009 Sound System Dreamscape" which became notorious as the background audio for tutorials where someone types into notepad due to this system.
I wonder what the pre-eminent audio library song is going to be this time.
- I try to refer to local time in an area I'm not in as <location>-time rather than the timezone's canonical name to avoid this kind of confusion. Then use a world clock to tell when that is. e.g. "That livestream should start at 4:30pm Vancouver time."
- > Every system can handle a leap-hour, they happen twice a year in many countries, courtesy of DST.
Any DST aware system I've checked handles this as a timezone change rather than changing the underlying time, expressed in UTC. Even for locations where DST's onset removes an hour rather than adding one.
- How many of these VPN services can be used without the app by configuring them in iOS settings? I know "private internet access" can be used that way.
- I didn't know the display on the inside was only 16K, that seems pretty low for the size of the thing.
Seems like the author got the best non-VIP seat he could too. I wonder how the worst seat (or non-seat, like an isle) in there fares for immersion.
- I think all of the blogposts are just transcripts of videos from his youtube channel. You could use the feed from youtube to tell when there's a new release.
Wait, I just checked the page source after writing the above to confirm and it looks like it does have one: https://practical.engineering/blog?format=rss
