That sounds like a blast! And a great way to explore. You’ve definitely earned some recovery
I want to see a 600MB image upload. I want to see the upvote federation stress test lemmy’s infrastructure. I want an image so wide that my app crashes. I want to see how far we can push this before admins need a database upgrade to handle it. I want to watch the system burn in the name of a wider en passant.
I’m happy to revisit and explain, but I don’t have much time to type right now - the wikipedia page for estonia has great info; you will need a basic understanding of cryptographic hashing and merkle trees
I pay attention to credit card readers.
I have gotten to know their makes and some models. I have developed preferences. When I go to a run down establishment and they have a nice reader, I am pleasantly surprised. I know that walmart uses ingenico isc250s, and they do not support tap. I know that dunkin has high quality readers, and sometimes tim hortons does too, but less frequently.
When leaving a place, I might say something like “damn, you don’t see that model of verifone very often”, and my friends will look at me funny.
Semi-related, did you know that most receipt printers have embedded telnet servers in them?
At what point does a collection of microservices become a monolith that uses http instead of a bus 🤔
Please continue making hundreds of beavers gifs. It is an absolutely incredible movie.
Those things are awesome. They weigh next to nothing, the small ones have 60 inhales in them, and a single hit is night and day when running at high altitude. A buddy didn’t have time to acclimate before a race, so we got him one as a joke, and it unironically helped him a lot
As “down”, I hereby grant maculata retroactive permission to make the above joke; and formally proclaim that I found said joke to be at least somewhat amusing
This is cyberpunk as hell, and awesome.
Unfortunately apple does not expose mac addresses to apps, so iPhone users can’t do it :(
I can’t help but be curious, does udm=13 or udm=15 do anything?
Markdown + pandoc means it goes through an intermediary latex template on the way to pdf land - which means your markdown can be a bastardized mix of markdown, html, latex commands, and sometimes more ;)
I absolutely love R markdown! Being able to iterate on your analysis and report at the same time is fantastic
Had to write a paper in college with 100 citations.
We used zotero for citation management, and it would dump a bibtex file on demand.
The paper was written in markdown, stored in git, and rendered through pandoc. We would cite a paper with parentheses and something resembling an id, like (lewis).
We gave pandoc a “citation style definition”, and it took care of everything. Every citation was perfectly formatted. The bibliography was perfectly formatted. Inline references were perfect. Numbering was perfect. All the metadata was ripped from pdfs automatically. It was downright magical.
Look, the monks in belgium could survive on beer alone for months at a time, and surely coors lite is not that different. I’ll be fine!
Helix + vim => Helim => Helium?
Vim + helix => velix / vimix / vix / velimix?
We could call it … WebAssembly! And now it’s a C compilation target, which means we can run Node.js in the browser, to get a javascript runtime :)
Oh for just one time
I would take the northwest passage
To find the hand of franklin reaching
For the Beaughpheourght sea
Legend has it there was a boy scout troop that actually built a left-handed smoke shifter, such that when a young scout arrived from a different troop searching for one, they could send him back successful.
