You mean compiling llvm itself to wasm? A friend of mine compiled clang to wasm and used that to make an in-browser thingy that can run your C++ program on a given input: wasm-ide.lucaversari.it/

@erin do you know how modern seeing machines do variable speed control? (I started wondering whether the PSU contains thinking sand.)

@b0rk

Explicitly deleting the reflog entry/pruning the reflog (git reflog has subcommands for both, git gc can be explicitly given the age threshold).

I'm not sure what happens with the per-branch reflogs when you delete the branch and per-worktree reflogs when you delete the worktree.

@foone

If you let the disk fall/slide into a slot shutter-side-first (and stop it there for a while, presumably with another servo) you could probably use the same camera for front and side.

@foone With some more mirrors you could get all 3 distances to be closer to equal (getting them exactly equal is not that helpful given that even one side is not at a constant distance from the focal point, unless you arrange for some lens arrangement that has an effective focal point very far away).

@nisjasper

I can't answer your question really (I'm somewhat of a loner and trains are a thing I'm comparatively less into), but want to suggest another potential direction: there are people who are very much into rail signaling systems: simulating them, using them in model rail, restoring physical hardware, operating full country-sized simulated rail networks, ... I don't know whether that's less conservatively-grumpy area.

@patcharcana the most wooden ones I've seen were made from pressboard fwiw

@patcharcana Why would you need a wooden substrate for that? Various substrates I've seen were all nicely dremelable (cutting traces with a small dremel always worked really well).

@futurebird

What do you think about various vote swapping arrangements with voters from states that are closer to even than yours?

plurality shitpost. 

@erin

Similarly, what about beehives? :)

@grimalkina

Do they mean peers you're likely to interact repeatedly with, like to interact exactly once with (because of organisational distance), or both? (I expect this to at least sometimes differ significantly between the two groups, because in exactly one case trust between two individuals can exist.)

@_dm @lcamtuf

So people showed off with their contributions to the municipality? :)

@mwk The multiplication factor will vary greatly over spark size, so it's kinda a stretch to call it a multiplier.

Or maybe I'm wrong, Leidenfrost causes it not to violently boil, and the colling is fast enough for their purposes?

The most recent (about chains) claims that the cooling bath for hardening is water (it's surely oil: water would visibly boil and Leidenfrost effect would make cooling insufficient).

I've used WDR's contact form to tell them that and we'll see what happens.

....his daughter, almost in exasperation, says to me "PLEASE, just talk to him about how this works, you know this kind of stuff!"

He gave me a tour of the large battery system connected to the solar panels on his roof, he was very proud of all of it, and then the very elderly gent I'd come to check on in a power cut offered to make me a cup of tea...very, very smugly. And too right, it was hilarious 😎

@patcharcana

Why is that a toxic trait? Communication is not only direct and literal, stuff is also communicated via choosing to say something or not. Compare e.g. someone who proudly describes themselves as originating from a farming family in e.g. communist Poland, vs. someone who, if asked, would say so, but doesn't broadcast it very much.

Yesterday morning: youtube.com/watch?v=1EJZLrkHGM (Cambridge Bike Bus + Band, me with a photographer sitting backwards on my longtail). The ride was slow and nearly technical, given the low speed, load, kids to not hit, and the parked cars that I managed not to scratch.

Apologies if it comes with advertising, I'm over my weekly upload quota at Vimeo so that will happen next week if I remember.

@koakuma

I think it wants to guarantee per-file atomicity. (IIRC it transfers into a temp file that then gets renamed atomically if possible.)
