If we extend this logic a bit, we also need optical and audio filters. Imagine maxing the fans and returning them back to normal speeds slow enough to be able to pick up the noise through a microphone. Or reading the RJ45 socket LED. So many ways to transfer data. It just comes down on how hard it is to exploit such a medium.

I know I'm not in their user demographic but I just use an interactive python shell. This means that I sometimes have to hack something quick and dirty to get some functionality that isn't quite native or I have to import a package/library that does the job. (some examples are grouping bits, coloring by order of magnitude, casting between types or encoding/decoding/serializing/deserializing values)

I remember playing Kid Pix on Windows as a kid. Back then, many programs required you to switch to 256-color mode and wouldn't run unless you did. But somehow, Kid Pix would still let you use it without having to switch modes.

Git repos are distributed by design. I bet all the contributors have at least 1 branch (probably closer to an average of 3) of this project on at least 1 computer that they own.

Once I read the title, I thought this was about Enlightenment but for mobile phones. I can't be the only one that thought of this.

Well. It contains every letter.

Decentraleyes extension on Firefox results in garbled text. Not sure why this happens. It is supposed to serve some common assets locally instead of requesting them over the network.

I have a FreeBSD VM on my iPhone but I'm not using it for any phone-related tasks.

My wife and I are using https://shared-lists.com mainly for shopping. Free, no-login, no-AI checklist app.

I always thought this was a stupid restriction. You can't view the post while authenticated but you can view the post while unauthenticated.

Although old, this is the currently valid version.

In Greece and Cyprus, capers come in medium, big and gargantuan jars. Really, you can find jars with 3.9Kg of capers!

Greeks/Cypriots usually have them either as a side or in their salad.

Very impressive.

The only thing that looks a bit bad is that the models produced need to be fixed before being able to be sliced.

I only skimmed the article. But my stance is, anyone that ever used cherry-pick or reverted multiple commits is impacted by clean git history. Unclean git history could make a simple 2 minute cherry-pick or revert task to a 30 mins+ job.

Looks like a deconstructed optocoupler while also using an optocoupler.

This is one of these rare instances where you can have hardware recursion.

Right now its the date of birth. Later, it will be the applicant ID.

I have one of those wireless magic mouse that takes 2x AA batteries. The optical sensor started behaving in a weird way back in 2018 I think, so I stopped using it. I wouldn't mind risking breaking it by trying to fix the sensor (cleaning the lens from the inside is probably enough), adding a rechargeable battery (and whatever circuitry that entails) and maybe even enhancing the ergonomics if it still works after that.

Is the title the actual article? The only extra info in the page is a semi-unrelated pic.

I mostly agree with the points but I hard disagree with point number 3.

Clean code makes the project more easily maintainable. We generally try to keep a standard in code quality (and I would say 98% of the codebase we touch is well written). We also try to schedule refactoring rounds (but that doesn't always happen because of time constraints).

I would imagine it would enable you to run MacOS specific pipelines like building a project and have it work semi-portably across different machines/users.

I was delivered exactly what I was promised. 0% click-bait, 100% expectation management.

They don't have to be static but making them dynamic might not worth the cost.

From a simple static page, now you need an API service, most probably connected to a DB or somehow integrated to the rest of your backend. So markdown suddenly isn't enough and you need some server-side logic.

For random strings, you can do this with client-side logic, which in some cases might be easier than server-side logic. But you are still moving from no-logic (static) to somewhere-logic.

I'm thinking if invalid characters in the examples given would be an acceptable solution. For DNS records this could be XML-like tags like <someprefix>.<yourdomain>.<tld>

On one hand, it prevents blind copy-pasting but on the other hand, your example is invalid.

This is the closest. https://altstore.io/

You can use -F to get the available formats and find out an audio-only stream then -f FORMAT to download the specified stream.

I tried lengthening Another Day by Dream Theater from 4:26 to 8:00.

I set it to avoid the segment that the key changes and to favor the 2 solo segments.

It doesn't seem like its doing a good job. Only the first 5 seconds of the intro made it and then is just repeating over and over the big solo. In the end, a very small part of the short solo makes it in as an outro.

Maybe it works better at shortening songs or maybe changing duration closer to the original duration.

Having to give your personal details just to see that the shipping to your country isn't worth (or not available at all) and then sending me an email to say that I potentially forgot to checkout some stuff in my shopping card is the reason I don't even try to fill my details and try and find an alternative shop.

Selecting a country and entering the post code to find out the shipping cost is slightly old-fashioned but works very well.

From what I understand (and creatively assume) the concentration in the middle (on the top left panel) is because of mapping random (uniform distribution) in Cartesian space to polar space.

Not sure I can explain the effect on the other panels since the first iteration is already based on assumptions.

I completed up to level 6 so far. I'll play a bit more once I get home and maybe I can complete level 7 as well.

Not that AV solutions are perfect (they are not) but analyzing a 397KB PE32 executable from 2006 doesn't show any red flags at https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/ab4a6418f783c37135fc3ec4...
