Especially because you feel like it’s your fault when it’s really just dumb luck on who wins or loses. It’s like tic tac toe with dice.

Clickspring is a great maker channel that feels like 20-40 minute long episodes of how it’s made (kinda)

He has playlists of his projects and he’s been making a period correct reproduction of the antikythra mechanism using the same bronze age tools of the ancient makers who created the original.

EEVBlog is fun if you know electronics and want to learn more. He does a phenomenal series on parts and pieces. He’s a layman’s wikipedia on “what’s an FPGA and why should I know?” As opposed to the more electrical engineering centric sources out there where you already need to know a lot to understand it. He’s entertaining and high energy (honestly he strikes me as someone with self managed bipolar or something. That’s the vibe I get since I’ve been friends with at least 4 others who present similar to Dave)

Tasting history, 18th century cooking, and table of the gods are both great historical cooking channels. Some of them will give the recipes for free for you to try at home.

Huygen’s optics is a channel run by a understated genius. He explains how optics and optical manufacturing works and he runs his own precision optics workshop in his basement. He once made a spirit bubble level for his pool table with an internal radius of like I’m (meaning it’s like carving a 15cm diameter circle out of a 16m wide sphere) so his level had like sub-arcsecond resolution iirc? A human hair underneath it would throw it off scale.

Applied Science is another amazing Science & engineering channel. He made his own back scatter computed tomography machine with a lazy Suzan, an X-ray tube, an Arduino, and a X-ray phosphorescence developer box/camera.

Embrace, extend, extinguish. You just described all 3

I’ve noticed a massive overlap between trans and telecom. Even before the internet, telephone phreaks were more often than not trans or trans adjacent, or just straight up eggs before it was cool.

directs you to a 10 year old thread that has nothing to do with your current problem. The moderator will ban you if you point this out.

No, they hire nobody and pretend they’re hiring so shareholders perceive them as successful and growing. The work from that role gets distributed among the employees who are still working there, eventually leading them all to work 70-80 hours a week and feel like they’re doing 3 jobs at once the entire time.

All of the best employees left, or those who don’t have sick family members or their own “pre existing conditions” so the company is left overworking under-performers and mediocre employees who couldn’t get hired elsewhere, or who are severely burned out trying to afford their wife’s chemo

I guess one benefit is rust development often doesn’t use bleeding edge version for everything, where you pull the entirety of crates.io through your machine when you open your IDE. From what I’ve seen most projects use == versions and lock files.

I don’t know enough about rust though. Could an attacker change historical crate versions to a payload and then cargo pulls them because they changed? Or will cargo only pull an update if you change to a different version on your machine?

The French would call it a high tension change in your life…

If you haven’t seen It the largest steam train in the world was restored by union pacific, #4014 big boy. It’s basically two heavy freight locos welded together into one machine over a hundred feet long. Lots of great videos of it online including a great video where it helps out a stalled mainline freight train running actual customer UP freight.

Mmmm yes very good product

Iirc the south bridge now aggregates masked interrupts and groups them together instead of pestering the CPU a whole bunch

It somehow reminds me of a rant I heard from a Microsoft office instructor. They would teach office products and basically every class would go “yeah if you crop an image in word the cropped portions are still viewable, so if you rely on that for redaction you’re not actually redacting anything unless you do X to permanently remove cropped parts of an image”

Without fail at least 3 people would get an “oh fuck” look on their face and urgently leave the room.

I’ll just leave this here

Yep that’s the one

Yeah

British person detected? Or maybe you’re just from Vancouver?

There are a lot of plants we consider weeds that used to be cultivated as staple crops. Industrialization meant only the most productive species got attention for mechanization. Less productive species fell out of favour and now are kind of lost knowledge.

Lamb’s quarters: also called goosefoot or wild spinach. It’s related to quinoa and both the seeds and the leaves were eaten.

Purslane: grows in poor soils and is hardy. Still used in Mediterranean cooking but is considered a garden weed in a lot of the world

Dandelions and amaranth: both were cultivated, and most amaranth varieties are considered weeds now

Sorrel: tough leafy green with a tangy flavour used prior to citrus in Europe.

Ground elder: hated by gardeners and farmers. A nice spring leafy green planted around monestaries

Mallow: used to thicken soups and stews. Still used in the middle east and Mediterranean but is considered a weed elsewhere.

Nettles: you’ve probably heard of this one? Not farmed anymore to my knowledge.
