Here is a tampermonkey script to disable the youtube progress bar gradient:

A good companion video to this might be The Psychology of Extreme Rhythms from Adam Neely's channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRLTjESyuQk

There was always something I liked about Forth when I didn't have to do much stack-thinking. One of the things that felt forth-y to me when I first encountered it was threaded code in Clojure (or any other point-free kind of idiom for that matter).

I'll sometimes abuse Python's compose to do similar things I won't send out for code review. Maybe I really should just try to live in Coconut instead of silly stuff like:

  import chess
  import chess.svg
  from IPython.display import SVG, display
  from functools import reduce
  
  
  def rcompose(*fs):
      return reduce(lambda f, g: lambda *xs, **ys: g(f(*xs, **ys)), fs)
  
  inline_board = rcompose(
          chess.Board,
          chess.svg.board,
          SVG,
          display)

Factor's quotations dealing with stack management weirdness is super nice, too.

It still has a bit more stack juggling than I like, though. That could just be a "me" problem. Props to that whole community for their effort.

I've found smaller categories of products with decent reviews on youtube. Project Farm and America's Test Kitchen spring to mind. I'm not sure they're as rigorous, but it's beyond what I'm willing to do at home by myself.

He didn't take credit for making the wire, so no.

Last time I ate in SF, I walked past a guy smoking crack on the sidewalk. But, yeah... big house with a big yard is nice.

I find this video (series) helps break down Bleed pretty nicely:

I'm with you mostly on the "really like" side. Sound all the way around is excellent. Little details like the horn blowing dust when they disembark from the ships on Arrakis are great. Salusa Secundus in the rain was great. The overall visual style is great. Casting was mostly great.

I just wish some of the sets were a bit more dense. The room for the Gom Jabbar scene, the Bene Gesserit walking back to the ship, cone of silence scene, and especially the palace fight on the stairs. Kinda gave my Sky Captain vibes.

I also don't like cutting the tension between Jessica and Thufir, although if Thufir doesn't end up under the Baron I guess I get it.

99% of what?

It's nearly 4% of the US population (2021).

Is that the same Peter Schiff that said gold was going to $5,000/oz in 2012?

Regarding passive solar, I liked this video on the Schweikher House built during the 1930s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq-3cZ0cbws

"Anyone who controverts my psychological insight into jwz is a fool!"

So you know him personally? Talked about this? Have some background in personali...

"He runs a bar!"

Seems legit.

"Armchair psychoanalysts, not so much."

Indeed.

No, they don't do that either.

The house that Marissa built.

You are confusing line editor with command-line editors. If you interpret command-line editor as editing the command line, emacs has eshell. If you interpret it as an editor from a terminal, it's that, too.

If you mean "line editor", emacs has batch mode.

Of course it is. It's not just that, though.

A Kawai MP11 playing out some Magnepans and a sub feel as enjoyable as the Bösendorfer I used to noodle on. I'm pretty terrible, though. I'm glad I don't know what I'm missing. I don't have the room for that old big boy.

   [1,000 lumen flashlight] ...they are incredibly effective at temporarily blinding a would-be attacker, giving you a chance to escape.

Is this dude for real?

I've done this aggressively in the past. The effect is so poor it's absolutely not worth the effort. I honestly couldn't imagine writing a system worse than their current recommendations. Straight up random would be a better system in some situations.

And yet no word on adding Cistercian numerals?

Here's some basic before/after examples that might be useful. This is kind of a deep rabbit hole. My dumb brain still dreams of blackbird studio c every once and a while.

Linus was hanging out in the monotone list for a bit and was a little frustrated with the performance at the time. https://lwn.net/Articles/132161/

I guess you simply can't in the density required where this would go. It was just a knee-jerk reaction to the napkin-math for the cost.

I've never wanted to build a single box pulling that much traffic when 20 would do.

Isn't this a $50k-$100k box? Feels like this isn't the cheapest way to do this by an order of magnitude. What am I missing?

I enjoyed the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_of_Earth%27s_Past

Affordable lowercase letters for a few decades now. Most of us just call it Lisp.

Oh, right. The "Wassup, Googlers?" guy. He gave a tech talk at the Mountain View campus where he made a ringtone and then put it up online for sale for a buck.

Nothing will ever stop that guy from hustling.
