Let me introduce you to good old speed up loops.

Just so you know, operating spinning drives this way is a bad idea. If the platters are spinning and the drive tips over, the rotation of the drives resists the movement. This gyroscopic force is enough for the platters to touch the heads which are flying a tiny distance above the platter. Obviously this is a bad thing and will damage the drives.

A quick fix is to just lay them flat or fix both of them together so they have a more stable base to stand on. Putting it in an enclosure is even better.

Maybe I worded it incorrectly. The feature was released in that version. They just didn’t mention it in the release statement they put out to there customers. I’m sure there’s some changelog somewhere people can dig into where it says something like what you mentioned. Or it can just be under “Various small improvements” which they always add as a catch-all.

So I’m happy, I did the job and got paid. Everyone I worked with was happy. And the feature got released. It’s was just a let down it didn’t get mentioned at all, even though I put quite a lot of work into it.

Thanks, very interesting results

The whole concept of multilingual websites is foreign to Americans. There is only one language in their mind.

I recently put in a lot of hours for a software system to be able to handle webp just as well as every other image format it already accepted. I put in a lot of work as well. Hadn’t heard about it for a while, but saw the feature release statement for the new version I knew my changes were in. It wasn’t on there. So I reached out to my contact and asked if there was an issue or did it get bumped to a later version or what? So she told me the marketing team that do the release statements decided not to include it. They stated for one, people already expect common formats to be handled. Saying you now handle a format looks bad, since people know you didn’t handle it before and were behind the curve. The second (probably more important) reason was nobody knew what webp even was and it’s only something technical people care about (they probably said nerds, but my contact translated). So no regular customer would be interested and it could only lead to confusion and questions.

I hope somebody is happy with the work I put in tho. Somebody is going to drag a webp into the system and have it be accepted. Someday… I hope…

How is the size difference after gzip compression? Probably pretty much the same, but I wonder how large the difference is then. Since a lot of folk make sure the contents is gzipped when served to the user.

Buffy is such a good series, one of my all-time favorites.

I’ve looked into Revolt and it isn’t there quite yet. But the road map is extremely promising. I’ll keep my eye on it and as soon as they finish up a couple more features I’m going to use it.

Ew Windows 11

And then the troubleshooting steps are like reset the app, reset your account and if that doesn’t fix it reinstall Windows. If it still won’t work, buy a new computer.

It’s terrible, just give me the info I need to figure out the root cause. It’s probably very easy to fix. Instead of the ol’ nuke it from orbit approach.

And it’s not just on the side of consumers either. More and more people are using docker to run shit and just reset or reinstall whenever an issue pops up. Sure that’s often faster and it might work, but it won’t prevent the issue from returning and you won’t have learned anything. I learned the most from fixing broken shit. It requires you to figure out how it should work and what’s preventing it from working like that. We are making ourselves dumber this way.

I think it has gotten a lot better in the past 10 years, but there are still a lot of places where there is too much lead in the environment. It doesn’t degrade at all, so unless it’s dealt with it just stays there. Given we’ve only gotten rid of leaded gasoline less then 3 decades ago, the effects are still very much there.

On the other hand, we have seen exhaust being very efficient in distributing chemicals with adverse health effects across the planet. Leaded gasoline was a huge oopsie that still has adverse health effects today.

Another effect is micro-particles from the jet exhaust that form a lot of nucleation sites, this allows the vapor in the air to condense into tiny droplets more easily.

It’s actually pronounced Pah-Wraith

Thanks, I’ll look out for that. Seems like the plain whiskey is available just fine, but the honey stuff is harder to find.

Wow I’m going to Aldi tomorrow and will try this!

Yeah I’m having trouble finding the Honey flavored stuff.

I use fake Red Bull because I think it’s overpriced, not because it’s not American.
