Looks like the glue failed and so heat was building up instead of transferring.

The best season is the short window in spring where it’s warm out but the bugs aren’t out yet.

Yeah, I use Linux now.

No opinion on macOS. My only complaint is that its not linux.

Peak MacOS was 10.4. Before they started compromising on desktop UX to make it more familiar to mobile users. You could put a folder in the dock, right click it and navigate the file hierarchy right there in the context menus. Same for dragging files into a subfolder there.

Software is a gas, it expands to use all available resources.

I have 32GB of RAM, and run out occasionally. At the moment I have two CAD programs, thousands of pages of datasheets and reference manuals, an IDE, and ~50 browser tabs open. I don’t HAVE to have them all open at once, but it does save me a lot of time.

My next machine will have 128GB, and I expect that will run out of memory too.

Also, sometimes you need to use software that has a memory leak, so a bit of extra RAM gives you some more time before it crashes.

In general, not interfering is the default position, there needs to be a reason it should enjoy protection.

Need to look at the goals the legislators were pursuing when they wrote the law. If protecting typefaces hinders the production of new books, that goes against the intent of the law. It might not make a difference on that front NOW, but back when typesetting was done by hand, and you needed a whole set of physical type for each typeface, it was a bigger deal.

The point of copyright is to encourage creativity, and there are reasons you might not care about encouraging creativity in typefaces. It’s a bit like trying to copyright how you pronounce a word, getting TOO creative here makes it more difficult to convey meaning, and people will do it anyway without the protection of copyright, it’s just a natural consequence of how language develops.

Typefaces cannot be protected by copyright in the US, but by some stupid interpretation, fonts are software, which is protected. Really annoying how tech-illiterate judges can screw up something this obvious. Even if the technical implementation of a font was something that should be protected IP, it should be under patent law, not copyright.

The thing to fight for is ranked choice voting, or some other method without a spoiler effect. Until you have that, the only thing that matters in the ballot box is the top two candidates. Anything else is equivalent to not voting. I’m saying you should make the choices that have the best actual effect, not make a worthless protest vote to make yourself feel good.

I had planned to vote for Claudia De La Cruz, but the Democrats sued her off of the ballot in my state.

So what? You can write in a candidate. It’s not like it would make any difference either way.

Who took away our option to vote to make things better?

The first past the post election system did.

If you want things to get better in elections, you need to get rid of primaries. Instead implement a voting scheme where you aren’t punished for ranking your desires honestly.

I mean, I have, but I saw this long before he started trying to smelt Iron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuCnZClWwpQ

With or without my current knowledge?

Because I’m pretty sure I could smelt Iron with what I know, and a year or two of experimentation. So the answer would be “ending the stone age”.

Without? I dunno, maybe building traps and snares.

As someone that has one, I’d say more than 80%. That might be accurate if you only print other peoples’ designs, but for functional parts I’ve designed, 80% are a total non-issue, 10% need to be rotated 45 degrees on the build plate, 5% need minor redesign to fit, and the rest I was able to break into multiple prints without issue.

Even if you eventually need a bigger printer, I’d still buy this one. I’ve definitely run into situations where I need to print multiples more often than I’ve wanted to print something big.

Eh, Pluto isn’t really something proven false, just that we found more objects like Pluto that made more sense in their own category. It’s classification, like there weren’t always separate categories for feature films and short films, there wasn’t a separate category for dwarf planets when it was just Pluto.

Oxford comma is useful. I think what’s getting popular is just complete disregard for spelling and grammar.

I’m also annoyed by PWM artifacts on taillights.

Pretty easy to prove you didn’t commit a crime that hasn’t happened, no?

Be pretty funny if he blamed it on starlink.

Fuck commission based sales.

But then you’re buying the phone from google, which is not great if you’re trying to boycott google.

I’ve had measuring cups where all the markings come off.
