I love it when product manuals get amended through stickers (or white-out, in this case)

How to use a higher powered radio:

  1. Go to the FCC website
  2. Figure out how to "get licensed"
  3. Find your way to the Universal Licensing System (ULS)
  4. Create a ULS account
  5. Figure out that you can't create a license there, but you did need a ULS account
  6. Find your way to the Commission Registration System (CORES)
  7. Create a CORES account, which links to your ULS account
  8. Navigate through CORES until you figure out how to create an FCC Registration Number (FRN)
  9. Create an FRN

The synthetic who joins every single Zoom call used to make you a little uncomfortable. They're your boss's boss's assistant, so at first you thought there was something wrong when they joined to "listen in". But after a couple of years - and a few work Christmas parties with open bars - you realized they're just particularly interested in hearing people's accents, so you've been introducing them to your extended family whenever they visit

oh wow, I just walked past my first electric lawnmower, and I might have actually enjoyed doing yardwork as a kid if we had one of those instead of how awful the gas ones are

@benrobbins 's new game, In This World, is out! It's a TTRPG, but made for telling stories. Less "roll 2d6" and more "what if-"

Finally got the USB cables, hacked the micro USB off, and added GX12 connectors. The RP2040 is overpowered for this, but I wanted the accelerometer and audio options for later revisions

what git jargon do you find confusing? thinking of writing a blog post that explains some of git's weirder terminology: "detached HEAD state”, "fast-forward", "index/staging area/staged", “ahead of 'origin/main' by 1 commit”, etc

(really only looking for terms that you personally find confusing, not terms that you think someone else might be confused about)

@b0rk I always have to remind myself that "remotes" don't have to be physically remote. They are allowed to be other places on my local machine

@adafruit how long does it take to set up for a job on one of these? Seems like it would be an all-day sort of thing

I'm exploring adding more polish to the mode 7 levels in my SNES game. I made it so that the player zooms out a bit when the camera does, in order to make it make more sense visually. I also adjusted the camera so it doesn't zoom out quite as far, because when I had the player scale with it how it was she got really tiny and it looked super silly.

I've been exploring trying to figure out how to make it look visual sense that you can't jump over walls even though they're flat, which has been tricky. Ultimately it might just be fine anyway because people will have to take into account that it's a SNES game and I'm dealing with a lot of technical limitations.

I am definitely getting the impression that polygonal 3D is probably a lot easier to deal with than this sort of thing haha. Eventually I'll play with Godot and try to do this kind of gameplay with polygons...

@NovaSquirrel this last version communicates the idea way faster to me, I didn't see the 🚫 symbols until I went looking for them

> Transit gates aren't the only way around the universe. Most people think you've got to be a little crazy to hunt for warp shoals that you can't see, can't detect with gravimeters, and can't escape if you accidentally get too close, but that doesn't stop corporations from quietly pushing small survey teams around the stars to scan for anomalies. The WSH-5D56 Vagabond was commissioned as a ship design for exactly this purpose.
