It's funded already, holly dogcow

I just backed Designed in California: An Apple history podcast on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/des...

It is perplexing that, a sensitometer like the one described in the ISO6 standard for black and white camera film testing, seems to not exist. The ones that seems to exist are made for X-ray film testing Nobody makes a device that expose daylight spectrum? Ilford and Kodak, what do they even use?

Steam Controller 2 is expensive ….

New weird kind of internet spam going on: Reddit DM from random people asking you to try out their one week old, obviously vibe coded application, with a link to their GitHub. 🙊

Mac people: Is there any reason I should bother learning about `launchd`, or is stashing script that I want to run daily in crontab still okay on *ye goode olde UNIX system*? cron seems to work fine and It even vomit its logs in my local mail spool if I let it do it.

Javascript-ness aside, QML/QtQuick is pretty nice.

I found that there's a nice AUR package to install Windows 11 fonts into Arch cleanly: ttf-ms-win11 I have a dual boot so, simply mount windows partition (read only is fine), copy all the /Windows/fonts/* files into the build cache directory (if you use yay it will be .cache/yay/ttf-ms-win11) first

NEW: The DOGE deposition videos a judge ordered removed from YouTube on Friday after they had gone massively viral have since been backed up across the internet, including as a torrent and to the Internet Archive

This video is great as it do clear up 2 things that throw off digital photographers - ISO is not changing sensitivity, it's how much gain on the signal before digitizing - Noise comes from lack of light, not "high ISO". - The practical advice is good But, it misses the origin of the confusion 🧵👇

Valve has detailed its verification requirements for both the Steam Machine PC gaming system and the Steam Frame wireless VR headset.

It's been NaN days since the last floating point incident

What's My JND? 0.0037 Can you beat it? www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd...

giving some bean juice to the fruit computer fruit computer has lotsa work to do tonight

How can it take 5 days to remove an email address from a list, for a company that its sole product is basically A FRONTEND FOR A DATABASE FULL OF TASKS

Maybe I am missing something, but I cannot find a good replica or a good analog of this input device on the space shuttle's cockpit that can be just used on a computer. It is called the THC: Translation Hand Controller, and is a 3 DoF device used for... Well, translation control in space!

one of the shiny new stuff that I need to look at is this new language to write shaders called Slang shader-slang.org I think it is a Khronos standard. It also happens that currently the LunarG Vulkan SDK ships a compiler for it. That's wide enough adoption to consider this seriously!

Random job in my mailbox, asks for 7 years "experience" of "GitHub Copilot and agentic Mode". GitHub Copilot, a thing released in 2021.

Watch time I hear @reckless.bsky.social say the words “digital god”. My brain substitute them with “torment nexus”. I don’t really know how to feel about the above really.

It is a good thing that SteamWorks by default remove PDB files from your game builds. It is rare to see a Unity game made by an indie that *does not* contain the `_DoNotShip` folder in it.

It's leaking helium too, and it's not going to the moon in march, most likely.

Very good quality software, thank you Meta

The recording of my Vulkanised 2026 talk is now live 🎥 In this talk, I walk through the journey of bringing a Vulkan RT pipeline into Godot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HddS... Thanks to LunarG for the opportunity and to the @godotengine.org community for the reviews and feedback.

The full Vulkan specification in its latest version with all extensions is a small 6884 pages, as a PDF (most of it is the description of data structures and function calls, but the first few chapters actually are explanatory)

I have downloaded the demo of Kittens Space Agency. Need to spend a little bit of time with this, but as far as a "spiritual successor to KSP", I think they're really getting somewhere here. Loading the solar system (apparently the whole thing) destroyed my 3080 10GB I got in 2020

The first point is underestimated by the ppl in the other two. Software isn't treating AI hypothetically anymore. It's moving on to frameworks and paradigms. It could possibly affect development the same way Stack Overflow did.

Somebody talented steal this idea : design a micro ATX chassis as a wedge with a modern mechanical keyboard on it like this please please please

This is a modern retro-looking flash. It works stupidly well design-wise on this 1960’s rangefinder camera!

Artemis 2 got delayed because the SLS rocket is leaking hydrogen. So, exactly like Artemis 1...

Stuff nobody needs to know: apparently an acidic solution of ammonium thiosulfate (black and white photographic fixer) is enough to damage the coating on an iPad Air screen. Not too bad. You will see the traces when the screen is off… Avoid splashing this stuff on it. Print those data sheets.

I do not know why Valve chose to provide a list of Vulkan extension as space separated strings, while all other libraries out there give you the size of an array for you to allocate to get it filled with const char*s

New prompt in the steam beta client (I guess) Though, I figure if a person has explicitly enabled this view filter in the past, they are not part of "most user" 🤔

Apple Podcast automatic transcription and chapter detections trying to understand what Do By Friday is about is hilarious

ChatGPT was doing fairly well at attempting to reconstruct a STL file form Gcode, analysing the extrusion commands to build cylinders, then fitting voxels inside.... But then it decided that it needed to check that 1+1 = 2

Gotta love stumbling on a project that... Only builds in Visual Studio 2017, with some specific version of Qt 5

I must say, I have not received a reply. I am disappointed in Waterman France, and in Rubbermaid brands, the “conglomerate” that apparently owns them. There’s thankfully plenty of choices for warm brown inks.

Fellow hackers and technologists of the world, you want to watch this: youtu.be/3C1Gnxhfok0?...

If you manufacture *anything* that may live in my kitchen, and if a feature could be acheived by a *knob* Do NOT make it touch capacitive buttons!!

The fact that Outlook for Windows needs to display this banner is really a sign that Outlook for Windows is very very well integrated with the other small Microsoft product called... "Windows" ...

What a non-confusing headline CD PROJEKT and GOG co-founder Michał Kiciński acquires GOG from CD PROJEKT www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/12/cd-p... via @gamingonlinux.com

Never looked into it but there's no great and simple API just poll the CPU temperature on Linux. Instead the most sensible thing seems to be libsensors, and you have to pretty much "know" what chip (driver name) you should look at.

Happy holidays, internet!

Honestly im shocked Well Not that shocked

The problem with Apple’s “it just works” technology is that sometimes the only thing you can do is plug stuff to power and let it think for a while. No progress bars. No logs. You just need devices to attempt to say hello to each other for long enough…

Hey look! A new trailer for Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked for Meta Quest with passthrough, by @liv.tv productions! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJZf...

Shot two more rolls. I have points to add: - light balance at around 3100K - No reciprocity failure at least up to 4 seconds of exposure - needs more testing - Dmax is comparable to pushed ektachrome +2 stop. Still perfectly acceptable for a slide projector - low saturation of reds (more on this👇)

Hard drives haven't gone cheaper over the last 5 years, kinda interesting...

Maybe I am a old fart C++ guy at this point but... Rust developers, due to the fact that you have "cargo", you make, and use, way too many libraries. They take way too much time and disk space to compile from source every time somebody setup your project. Feels like npm and js sometimes...
