This shift has been going on for a long time. I wonder if it's ever been any different.

Is there an AIO liquid cooler for my PC that will let me put my coffee cup on the radiator?

If the bash patterns for Shell Parameter expansion ( https://t.co/MsOibCnTBq) were available with Command Substution ( https://t.co/px29ez7Pnx) then idk if I'd ever need cut or awk.

Wild story but just completely straightforward execution. RF rules are just different from the security model we want to imagine on top of the internet.

Oh here it is. It's called "Proprietary, hazardous"

What is the correct name for a cable with a USB A connector on both ends? It doesn't seem right to call it a USB A to A cable since *A USB cable, by definition, has a plug on each end—one A (or C) and one B (or C)* (cribbed from

This makes so much sense. It's reminiscent of pointer representation of a multidimensional array in C. Or the stride of a texture in graphics memory. I've never spent enough time in depth before to understand the shape and reshaping in these Python libraries

Good advice for future green card or citizenship applications. The land border crossings are hard to track down for green card applications too. Even with the I-94 website it helps a lot to keep some second record for yourself.

SSH encryption feels redundant with wireguard encryption. I recognize that they're different layers but it seems like telnet over a wireguard encrypted connection could be a reasonable thing.

Short version: I created a file named .wslconfig in my Windows home directory containing [wsl2] memory=48GB and ran wsl --shutdown. Things restarted and now I have 48GB available instead of 32GB. Longer explanation and caveats

The need to tweak never ends. Just realized only half of a Windows machine's RAM is available in WSL by default

Paused reading this interesting thread because I need to save the term "malicious compliance" to my vocabulary. A few steps worse than "just doing it by the book"

PSA: You're scanning everything WRONG! Follow these three tips when capturing video or photos for #photogrammetry. That's right, this works for @PhotoCatch3D, @scanamaze, @Polycam3D or any photogrammetry software. Of course there are many other factors, but these are a must! #3D

Maybe my standards have been lowered or maybe there's a hint of the picture painted by this lyric from the Live Between Us recording of The Luxury: [a man down on his luck so he takes to the streets shaking a banana at people trying to convince them that it's making a sound]

This is _exactly_ why I pay to play with DALL-E and GPT-3 in the state they're in today instead of waiting for the rough edges to be sanded down.

Now these images are a terrible injustice and I'm sorry for showing them to you if you've ever listened to Fiddler's Green: [balloons all filled with rain as children's eyes turn sleepy mean. And falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain for a boy in fiddler's green]

These felt more inspired. Like the rest, playing with the prompt could make a big difference. [i wanna be your wheezing screen door. I wanna be your stars algonquin. I wanna be your roaring floorboards]

These are pretty but some how just not ... enough. [i'm telling you a story about the lake fever. you didn't say yes or no or neither. you whispered hurry]

In retrospect, this one looks like the words of the song lyric without the context of Gordie belting it out: [looking for a place to happen]

I wondered if DALL-E would do anything interesting if I just fed it some lyrics. None of the images really triggered the same emotions for me as the pictures in my mind but here's a sampling of what I got...
