Having multiple sufficiently-powered virtual machines makes OS development really low friction. Though I'd personally go for a blade subrack instead.
Getting some unplanned exercise clearing out the house of my late mother in law. Though my airways disagree (achoo), having clear goals and hauling around heavy stuff is doing wonders for my mood.
Ah good. Now I know what specs not to buy.
Interestingly, there is some evidence that suggests that antioxidants like vitamin C, especially when taken in the excessively large doses that are fashionable these days, can interfere with the immune system (which relies on oxidation reactions in order to clear pathogens and precancerous cells) and preclude gains from exercise (oxidation is used as a signal by the body to eg. induce muscle mass growth).
Depending on how old your kid is, it might or it might not improve. The frontal lobe of their brain still has a lot of development left in children; right up until they’re about 25. This may improve things.
Also, please don’t be one of those parents who discounts meds. They can really help a lot. And no, they’re not addictive (in fact, people with ADHD are more likely to forget them than to use them recreationally).
What's helped me is a combination of physical exercise (which helps against feelings of unrest that may be bothering me) and sort of sliding into the subject, tackling the easier parts first and from there riding the dopamine wave.
But yeah, it doesn't get any easier.
Exactly, and you cannot have a serious conversation about the attitudes of yore if you censor the words they themselves used.
Back then, it simply meant “developmentally delayed”.

Sadly Microsoft didn't specify where on the keyboard the key has to be.
In order to find out, hit the keyboard with your head; wherever your forehead touches the keyboard first is where the key is supposed to be.
I like how the reader is supposed to be familiar enough with the scream box that it doesn't require any extra explanation.
I'm working on a PDP-11 emulator. I've got the basic instruction set implemented and have an implementation of ODT (the PDP-11's microcode monitor) with disassembler. I've found a test set and an implementation of BASIC for the PDP-11, and everything executes successfully. Next step is getting the MMU up and running.
I have a similar-sized roll of 0.5mm Felder Sn100Ni+ with their ultra clear flux. Love the shinyness.
Indeed, don’t skimp on solder, especially when soldering lead-free.
Yeah, I deserve that. I’m just gonna leave my typo. Thanks for the laugh!
Actual old person here: the above is all made up.
The slots were for sporks.
De PVV van Geert Wilders zegevierde met 37 zetels. Radicaal-rechtse partijen (PVV, FVD, JA21), waarop bij de vorige verkiezingen al een op de vijf kiezers stemde, waren goed voor bijna de helft van de stemmen, met een rechts blok als ruggensteun. Deze overwinning berust op twee misvattingen: dat de ...
De rechtsstaat is zo ingekleed dat die juist bescherming biedt aan minderheidsgroepen.
Nederland kan technisch drie meter zeespiegelstijging aan met veel zwaardere dijken, zegt het Kennisprogramma Zeespiegelstijging. Maar dichttimmeren van de kust is niet volgens iedereen de beste strategie.
Het Kennisprogramma Zeespiegelstijging bouwt voort op de vorige maand gepresenteerde nieuwe klimaatscenario's van het KNMI. Die laten zien dat de snelheid van de zeespiegelstijging deze eeuw heel onzeker is. Het maakt veel verschil hoeveel broeikasgassen wereldwijd nog worden uitgestoten, en of ijsverlies op Antarctica in een stroomversnelling kan belanden. De Noordzee kan dan deze eeuw 1 of 2 meter hoger komen te staan, en rond 2150 al zo'n 3 tot 5 meter. Als de wereldwijde uitstoot scherp daalt, zal dit veel langzamer gaan.
De onderwijsminister roept leerlingen op om iets te kiezen wat ze leuk vinden en zich niet blind te staren op de zogenaamde 'hoogte' van een opleiding.

De daling van hun verhuuropbrengsten zou in strijd zijn met het eigendomsrecht.
Ze willen een schadevergoeding, omdat ze vinden dat de waarde van hun bezit niet voldoende terugkomt in de huurprijzen die ze mogen vragen.
Leden van de samenwerkende partijen willen een 'parlementaire republiek'.
Op een congres in Rotterdam stemde een meerderheid van ruim 52 procent voor aanvulling van het programma met die strekking.
Calibrating vintage multimeter
I've recently acquired an uncalibrated Philips PM2534 (edit: the battery-backed factory calibration data was lost due to the battery running out). I'm looking into somehow getting it calibrated. However, the calibration procedure is rather involved, and requires such things as an exact 300V DC (the service manual recommends using a Fuke 5700).
Anybody know of a way to have this multimeter calibrated? I'm a hobbyist and don't really need such things as traceability and certificates.
Edit: I live in the Netherlands.
Painting Apple hardware - what colour?
I've recently acquired an Apple Macintosh Color Display. Sadly, it's very yellowed (or rather, oranged). I was thinking about forgoing retrobrighting and just going for painting it. Anybody here who's done that before? Any idea how I can most closely match Apple's "platinum" colour?

Ultra Compact Model F62 - Floss-Modded Buckling-Spring Switches
Not my video. From the description:
> Case: Raw Aluminum > Keycaps: Unicomp Red Cyrillic on Brilliant White + Gray Modifiers > Layout: HHKB-style split right shift and regular 2-unit wide backspace > Configuration: Floss Modded, lubed spacebar wire, lubed keycap stems > > My first (or second) experience with non-MX style switches in a keyboard. The IBM Model F is coveted as one of the greats when it comes to "mechanical" switches. This reproduction unit by Ellipse of Model F Labs serves to bring back the magic of the Model F keyboard with a lot of modern enhancements. Suffice it to say, I am very happy with the experience of typing on this board minus one small caveat. My biggest gripe with this board, and consequently any other buckling spring keyboard is the fact that there is simply no way to flip the spacebar. The asymmetrical design of the keycap stem paired with the fact that the spacebar wire attaches directly to only one side of the spacebar keycap makes it so that you are required to use this in its standard spacebar configuration. I find this to be really uncomfortable because my thumb is essentially pressing right against the hard edge of the keycap rather than the smooth edge afforded by a flipped spacebar. This was such an issue that I attempted to model my own keycap and have it resin 3D printed by JLCPCB, but to no avail. The tolerances on buckling-spring stems are really specific which makes the mechanism really difficult to replicate. I dont have the time or money to fine tune this problem. Despite that glaring issue, I still have a great time typing on this board and I find the typing experience to be very pleasant otherwise. The deep clicks are much preferable to the high pitch clicks youd often hear in MX-Style switches. The mechanism is also reasonably smooth if you take the time to lube the keycap stems with Krytox 205g0. You might also notice that there is no coating on this keyboard. When I had originally bought this board from a seller off Mechmarket, the original coating on it was a powder-coated black. I wasn't thrilled with the look and feel of it so I took it upon myself to strip the coating by submerging the pieces in a vat of Klear-Strip for roughly 2 days. Overall, I think the result turned out great and gives a raw look to the design. So far the aluminum hasn't shown any clear sings of tarnishing but I do anticipate it to eventually show some wear. There's still a marginal amount of residue left over from the stripping so the finish isn't perfect, but I think it gives the board a lot of character. Despite there being no "integrated" weight in this board like you see in a lot of premium customs, this still out-weighs my Sharkeneko 1600g to 1470g. The steel inner assembly paired with the thick aluminum chassis makes this a weapon of a keyboard.
S3-compatible object storage providers
I'm looking into migrating (part of) my ever-growing pictrs data to something cheaper than the VPS disk it's currently on. Ideally I'd like to use minio's Object Tiering to migrate object to/from cheaper storage.
Anybody using Backblaze's cloud storage product? What other options are out there and what potential pitfalls should I be aware of?

S2E2 - A Glimpse Of Darkness
It's still a beautiful series to watch, but by now it's getting clear that season 2 is tonally completely different from season 1: far less ponderous, and funnier too.
Your thoughts? Is Brother Day ever going to get married? Where did this Mule come from? Who is Hober Mallow? And how did Poly Verisof live to such an age on a diet of alcohol and Vordaline dust?
