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?
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.
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
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.
@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.
After talking about how wonderful it is to write on the Remarkable 2, grey proceeds to talk about how you have to approach working with e-ink tablets.
ultimately, he suggest that you have to treat them like paper. I mostly agree with that.
however, I’ve mostly switched back to paper notebooks because I can flip through them and easily go back-and-forth between my table of contents and the referenced pages looking for that thing I wrote
on top of literally being the most frustrating & maddening conversation with a hospital employee I've ever had, it took a LOT to get past the executive disfunction pushing me to not deal AND no-one wants to talk about gender surgery with a complete stranger in a society that makes you feel like 💩 for daring to exist.
Well 💩
I just learned that Peru 🇵🇪 signed a law last month that classifies #transgender people as mentally ill, despite lots of societal support for them.
Guess we can cross Peru off of the countries USians can flee to in November (if the cheeto gets reelected).
@angiebaby don’t count out Mexico. Last time I checked (a while ago), it didn’t require much to get a Mexican passport and 1st world poor income is generally “comfortable” in much of Mexico and Central America. Being able to make money working remotely is important though. Otherwise you end up being 3rd world Poor which is not great.
