I'm cleaning up that tortilla press i found down by the river
in reply to For whom the Taco Bell tolls

@madrush It was down by the river, so I was probably scavenged or stolen by someone who lives down there, probably so they could sell it to a metal recycler. I guess it got forgotten before it met its doom

@Muellers_Kabinett It's just not that durable compared to colored enamels. I certainly wouldn't expect it to stand up to much use

Just watched The Electric State on Netflix. It’s had bad reviews, and well, yeah I can see why. It’s not bad, it’s not good, it’s a watchable way to spend a couple of hours.

“It’s not bad, it’s not good, it’s a watchable way to spend a couple of hours.” You just nailed 90% of what Netflix has to offer. 😆

Hah I guess so, does seem that way when it comes to movies they make. Some TV series have been great though

🚨 new....kind of new??? .... developer science from me! 🚨

I have significantly updated the preprint manuscript for our AI Skill Threat study: it now includes a richly descriptive (I hope) overview of identity threat, has integrated many fresh references and sources of wisdom about developers since our first rough draft report, and more fully explicates our theory for how and why learning & belonging help mitigate threat experiences for developers

osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/2gej…

in reply to Dr. Cat Hicks

And why care about that? Well, because they're powerful....AND changeable. Many factors that have been proposed as key factors in developer experience, or as correlates of development outcomes, do NOT show promise as intervention targets. Our work tests factors that do: ability beliefs are malleable and have been the subject of many promising interventions
in reply to Dr. Cat Hicks

In my quest to advocate for the importance of seeing developers as WHOLE people, with WHOLE psychologies (not just brains in jars), I wrote:

"Feeling that an important identity is threatened is recognized as a highly impactful experience which can shape human behavior, and which takes diverse forms. For instance, in being categorized against one’s will, in feeling one’s identity-based value being undermined, or in experiencing threats to the acceptance or distinctiveness of one’s identity"

I created a crib sheet for the #Helix text editor:

bobulous.org.uk/coding/Helix-c…

As usual I intended the new page to be compact and concise; and as usual it ended up being huge and rambling. Hopefully it'll still be of use to people who aren't fully familiar with the most useful keys and commands. (And just maybe of vague interest to #Neovim users who are thinking about trying Helix.)

Let me know if you spot anything incorrect.

mmmhm... I've been working on a new layout for the 0x33.board that moves all components to the *front* of the board for single-sided assembly and while first I didn't think it would be possible it seems to work out very well actually...

EXCEPT

the USB-C connector can't be in the litte corner spot without colliding with the key... what do I do? 😭😭

in reply to s-ol

taking the chance to re-implement the whole CAD file in #build123d instead of cadquery (build123d.readthedocs.io/). It's quite some effort but coming out a lot more readable, which means more editable, which is what I need right now as I tweak it and experiment with things like a possible "fully closed shell" design.

Thanks again @alderwick for the suggestion on how to solve the design dilemma! I haven't cut the USB-hole yet as you can see, but the spot is reserved ;)

If anyone's interested here is the graph for CPU temperature when my new #OPNsense N100 router was running in the homelab cabinet rack vs when I just put a simple USB desk fan beside it to blow out the heat. A roughly 15C drop so the results will be much better hopefully when I get the proper cooling fans for the cabinet. PS The drop to zero is where I powered it off whilst tidying some other cables near by.

in reply to Justine Smithies

yea I landed at the same conclusion unfortunately. "Fanless" was questionable, I didn't measure the difference but nine went from quite uncomfortable to touch to barely warm to touch.
in reply to Ariel

Yes mine was uncomfortable to touch too and is now much cooler and will be even better when I have the correct fans installed.



Utterly unconscionable – though hardly surprising – for the New York Times to print such vile fabrications, completely untethered from empirical reality, and to keep platforming a man who would spread such extremist propaganda as one of their most prominent columnists.

Teacher in Idaho told she must remove sign saying "Everyone is welcome here" because it had images of hands with a variety of "skin tones."

School officials said "that it was not the message that was at issue, but rather the hands of different skin tones on the poster."

Sadly, we need to know about things like this so that we can oppose them & keep them from growing & reenforcing each other.
