I love Inkscape, it's my go to for vector graphics and use it all the time. That said, I fucking hate Inkscape. It's slow, buggy and the UI is a mess. But it still holds a special place in my heart and I can't imagine using anything else.

For me being impressed with SpaceX is kinda like loving a piece of art even though the creator turned out to be an asshole. Or liking Star Trek, even though Berman was shady af to put it mildly.

What SpaceX does is very impressive from a technical point of view. Even if the rocket never amounts to anything except this one successful test, it's still amazing they pulled it off. It tickles my engineer brain. And I think it's worth to honor all the people that made it happen, despite them having to work for Musk. Combine this with what could be in the future and you can hopefully see why people hail this test flight.

Now I still have serious doubts about Starship in the moon program. The on orbit refueling seems very sketchy and unproven at this point. Sure they will get two rockets into orbit, mate them up and transfer some fuel, that's a given at this point. But how much fuel are we talking? And how fast does the turnaround need to be to prevent losing a lot of it? How many ships and how many launches? Will this completely offset the cheaper launch costs due to reusability? It's a huge unknown and will push back the moon program to well into the 2030s.

Fuck me, got invaded again. Thanks Obama

After fans dug into the lore they found out through a series of item descriptions and beta data the Naked Homer Simpson character was in fact gay. When Hidetaka Miyazaki was confronted by interviewers if he could confirm Naked Homer Simpson was in fact gay, he just smiled and said the fans could find out by looking at the boss fight closely. It turned out if you removed a piece of level geometry a rainbow heart could be seen with the initials H and S below. Thus confirming for once and for all Naked Homer Simpson was in fact gay.

Or at least that's what I remember from the 3 hour VaatiVidya video about it.

As so often with anything related to maths, pi pops out at the most unexpected places.

The sonic shockwave moving through the clouds visible on some of the footage was amazing and then the shockwave bounced on the ground and back into the clouds a couple of seconds later, so amazing to see. I hate Elon Musk, but that they pulled this off is incredible.

It can't hurt to give it more cooling capacity. But it probably doesn't matter much. It will run a a bit warmer with the sticker, but still be well within what the hardware can handle. Since it normally isn't a performance critical component, it won't run too hot and cooling it more gives no benefit.

All the same, I kinda hate it when they put a big heatsink on something and then cover it up with stickers. But the size of the heatsink is usually part of the marketing and not an actual design requirement.

The Netherlands blames Russia for shooting down commercial flight MH17. (Rightly so) Almost 300 people died, mostly Dutch. So the Dutch giving their F16 planes including training etc. to Ukraine to shoot down Russian planes seems fitting.

Have you gotten any traction on this with the police or municipality?

I've seen a lot of these huge American trucks parked like assholes and I'm seeing more and more custom lifted trucks. The other day I was riding my bicycle from work and saw this huge custom lifted thing. It was as wide as a bus and generally enormous. It was going 60kph in a 30 zone. Then proceeded to jump the kerb, drive across the bicycle path and park on the sidewalk in front of a restaurant. Four douchebags in suits stepped out.

I was shocked and didn't really know what to do. I thought about taking a picture, but was worried such characters could be organized crime. I thought about calling the police, but frankly I don't think they would take it seriously. So I just went home bummed out about the state of the world.

Just waiting for the moment Nvidia is like yeah we won't be making any GPU chips any more, just AI chips from now on.

And then you end up way too hot because the cat is on top of you. Or the asshole just takes up the whole bed like it's theirs and when you try to push them to the side they get annoyed because you are taking up room in THEIR bed.

Can someone do the math on this? What kind of force would you need on the blade to cut through 15 fat rich person necks? How heavy would it need to be? And what speed, like how high would the drop need to be? Would it be strong enough to just hold at two ends, or would the flex cause issues with it not dropping straight?

At this point it would probably be better to have some kind of pneumatic cylinder that chops off a single head, but does it really really fast. That way you can just drop down the rich asshole, lop off their head, pull the body away and plop down the next one. How much throughput could we get with that?

Led lights need constant current with a limit on the max output power. Chargers output a constant voltage. Too high of a voltage can be damaging to leds and if they get too much current they burn out quickly. So there is a difference between for example a phone charger and a proper led power supply. Also modern phone chargers communicate with the phone to deliver the right amount of power and often will fall back to a very low amount when a "dumb" device is connected.

That said, the led light might have a power supply or power converter builtin. In that case you can supply just about anything with enough power into the input and it will be fine.

If the light wasn't expensive and a random charger works, just connect a random charger. It probably isn't worth looking for the perfect power supply.

Not magnetic, but it can get statically charged and be attracted to stuff and even stick on the non stick side. However this is usually just a pain in the butt and not an intended feature.

In the future due to climate change we need to time our launches into space in between hurricanes. Oh wait no that's the present.

They don't actually understand any of those things. They just think white skin, blue eyes and blond hair equals Uber mensch and thus the divine right to rule the world. And just like the Nazis, the fact that most of them don't actually conform to the qualifications they dream up is beyond them. That's why you see those pictures of Trump as a muscular Jesus, they are very detached from reality.
