i should note that the angle of your inclined plane plays into the look a lot. As with the stair-step look, the more shallow the angle the farther the waves will be spread from each other.
I would suggest that you're probably going to have a lot more value from playing with the width of the sine wave than the height.
If the sine waves get much taller than this, the eye starts noticing the ridges more than the pattern.
holy 💩! DAYS after updating the "Social Preview" for #FediThready - at least 3 - GitHub FINALLY started serving up the image instead of the default stuff.
BUT I made a "it works just give it time" post with a link, only MINUTES after having it work in a DM, and guess what? IT'S NOT WORKING... but ..it is... sometimes?
Also, we now know what caused those trails in the silt that I posted a week or so ago.
Now we really want to get rid of the beaver because as I filmed Ted making her way back into the pond it was clear that the silt built was a significant problem for her.
I went and checked on it. it is mostly good. It does not appear creatures have tried to get in. There is a little gap that I need to address but my back really hurts right now so hopefully I can do that later today.
I also still need to come up with a solution to hold it down that will free up those weights
Very very few of the stories seem to be pointing out the most critical piece of information. They were bought by a private equity firm. Private equity firms use extremely malicious but entirely legal techniques to extract millions at the expense of a company. It’s much like a vampire sucking a body dry.
I just ran out of, and subsequently replaced the lead in this pencil, and holy 💩! It was absolutely transformational. It went from a good pencil to a great pencil.
In case you’re curious, i refilled it with Pilot Neox High-Purity Graphite pencil lead 0.5mm B hardness
Do any of you know of a package that lets me use slack / mastodon style emoji insertion?
Between Mastodon & Rocket (awesome macOS app) I keep starting to type : foo : instead of going to M-x insert-char
Obviously we can't just use : foo : because programming languages use colons all the time, but surely there's something similar we can do like !: foo :! or whatever.
🤔 I can't remember a language that combines colons and bangs.
I'm seriously thinking about quitting Duolingo, because the more advanced the conjugations get the less clue i have what the fuck is going on because they literally Never explain Anything.
Ex. In #Esperanto "el" means "from" & "de" means "of"
I came FROM the United States
Mi venis EL Usono.
The House OF Usher
La domo DE Usher.
and yet, it's insisting that when you go FROM France to Germany it's

Also once you've got the basics of grammar from Lernu and are actually at the stage of being able to read Esperanto, there is PMEG https://bertilow.com/pmeg/
Minor Update re the #Accessibility tool I've been working on for a friend for whom Apple's palm rejection absolutely refuses to work.
We've prototyped the cover + hole shape over the trackpad & it got a 👍. Now I've gone back and added 4mm thick leather wrist wrests & there's an internal cable run for charging the trackpad.
the lighter colored "wood" in the picture is a magnetically attached plate that we can swap out if he / anyone else needs a different hole shape.
A friend of ours just finished setting up a really nice new CNC for woodworking. The plan is for me to model & prototype things with my 3D printer and then once all is 👍 he'll cut one out of wood.
alas, it's too big for my printer so I'll have to cut it into pieces & re-assemble to test.

In case it's not obvious from the photo, the top hole is where the keyboard goes and there's a rectangular hole below the triangular cutout where a trackpad would go.
@masukomi it’s probably still a USB3 cable, since it has the 3.0 small rectangle added to the micro-B fancy shaped bit.
The USB 3.0 A side (standard USB shape) is backwards compatible by having 5 extra pins in the back of the cable. You can (hopefully) see those 5 pins way in the back of this photo, with the standard 4 pins on the bottom plastic bit.
That’s the secret sauce to 3.0 using the same 2.0 plug, add pins to spots that weren’t normally used.
