Looks good to me đź‘Ť
  • I like to shoot for the middle ground: skim for key functions and check those, run code locally to see if it does roughly what I think it should do and if it does merge it into dev and see what breaks.

    Small PRs get nitpicked to death since they're almost certainly around more important code

  • I put my number in a secure form for a trusted bank and immediately got spammed
  • We had a zoom call with a very well reviewed, recommended broker local to us. Next day I get a spam call pretending to be the bank we talked about the most as a lender, but that we currently have no business with. My paranoia has been at 100% ever since

  • Here's Proof that Earth is flat
  • Assuming a ground clearance of 10cm, and a wheelbase of 2.4m (source: my ass) then you can construct an arc under the wheels

    This arc says you could drive such a car on an earth with radius as small as 7.25m. Actually, it could be slightly smaller because of where the wheels would contact, but I've lost interest

  • Start learning at 50
  • People look down on Javascript (and therefore Typescript) but as someone who learned by doing I think its a really good option

    Once you get past the hello world phase you can take it any direction you want: websites/apps, command-line stuff, desktop apps you name it. Just avoid the trap of getting sucked into specific frameworks or loads of tooling early on and learn the language

    W3schools is a great resource and you can do the examples and exercises right there in your browser

  • Road casualties have become normal in Britain. But there is another way
  • I've been trying to get my local council to enforce the law on the road near me and have just been fobbed off repeatedly.

    It's a 30 road, with a school and loads of pedestrians and cyclists using it yet we see people running the red lights, speeding well over 50 and doing crazy overtakes DAILY

    I've driven and cycled in 3 other countries and England is by far the scariest, feels like every other driver is trying to kill you

  • First print with PETG
  • I think most of the horror stories are from people printing way too fast and too low
    Many people print with too small z-offset because "that's when it sticks". you can get away with it in pla but petg will just become a mess

  • Can someone help alleviate my anxiety over temps see body
  • To make you less anxious:

    A friend of mine had issues with his (much older) PC, stuttering in games and similar but it still worked

    When I took a look I found it was pegged throttling at 100deg after running for a while. This had been going on for months

    Eventually found the AIO pump had completely died, any cooling was due to passive conduction through the materials and water

    We replaced the cooler and now it's been running fine for another 3 years and going

    TL:DR: modern CPUs can run hot, and safely boost. As it gets too hot it will start reducing clocks but it's highly unlikely you damage anything unless you go out of your way to overclock, overvolt or ditch the cooler entirely

  • Can someone help alleviate my anxiety over temps see body
  • I honestly wouldn't worry about it, especially with the weather as it is at the moment- my PC is getting about the same with a 3900x, nice noctua cooler and loads of airflow It's been going over 30 in my office and even the best coolers can't break that physics

    Check again when it cools down, might make it easier to see if/where there are issues

  • Video codecs: Adding AV1 stateless video decoder support to Linux
  • It's not stateless end-to-end, it just means the client needs to keep track and pass the state rather than drivers or hardware

    I'm not 100% on the motivation but from an architectural standpoint it does make sense - your software can now do many new and weird things without a hardware change

    One example I saw was allowing an arbitrary number of streams to be processed simultaneously, just passing the different context state for each stream

  • TIL The first recorded human death by robot was in 1979 when 25-year-old Ford Motor assembly line worker Robert William was struck by an arm of a malfunctioning one-ton robot
  • For me it's the acceleration and speed they don't comprehend.even "safe" collaborative robots can accelerate to huge speeds in the blink of an eye, and being electric they'll do it at maximum force

    I've driven one into my head before and its remarkable how soft it was thanks to the tech involved but movies miss the fact that if it wanted, even a small arm could have gone through me

  • TIL The first recorded human death by robot was in 1979 when 25-year-old Ford Motor assembly line worker Robert William was struck by an arm of a malfunctioning one-ton robot
  • If you ever work on a modern industrial system then you'll see all kinds of rules, safety measures and more fun

    It often makes small jobs extremely tedious, but I always remind myself it's because the robot arm I'm looking at is strong enough to throw me across the room or crush my bones.
