  1. "It's an astonishing software design screw-up combined with cost-saving silliness. Root cause was the flight plan interpretation module thingy being written to shut itself down instead of throwing the flight plan out for human analysis and carrying on."

  2. [denha] has made a new version of his marble catapult
    youtu.be/MHkeoV0xpSk

    The mechanism is so mesmerizing (requires viewing in slo-mo) I could watch for hours. Makes me want to build my own version so I can finally put to use the bag of tiny springs which my Dad had harvested from various printers and tape players over the years

    theverge.com/2022/11/3/2343980

    His poor treatment of his own employees is a major reason why I decided on that day to stop using Twitter and migrate completely to Mastodon.

  4. For #genuary28 tried to recreate as many classic #skeuomorphic #GUI icons as I could in one hour of #CreativeCoding in #Processing. So this is also #genuary27

    I managed these four: save, record audio, send email, delete. Took a few minutes extra to fix bugs, adjust background colour, and dump frames for the animation.

  5. The primary of this mains that was in a power brick from the 1990s seems to be broken internally.

    What else can I use it for? Should I attempt to recycle the magnet wire? Try to rewind the laminated core?

    The other two transformers seem fine. They both came from digital clocks.

  6. Is unorthodox "non-classical" music just noise?

    Andrew Huang and Sarah Belle Reid compare their respective journeys and find many parallels.

    Reid relates how she was chastised for composing music by her classical teachers

    The strict formalised approach to teaching music adopted by schools is likely a contributing factor to me giving up on learning to play music much beyond "London's Burning" on a soprano recorder

    I blame the cheapness of the C3PO action figure I was given as a child for why it is only today that I've learned only one of his legs is gold.

  11. #BingChat (precise) has concluded that P=NP

    I asked it to write a Python script that when given a graph where there are no more than 5 edges for every vertex, it returns the length of the longest path that visits each vertex no more than once. Then lifted the edge count restriction.

    In both cases it claimed polynomial time complexity to solve an NP-hard problem

  12. Hope [Wendover Productions] doesn't get their channel hijacked by Musk fanboys and turned into one of those "Tesla Live" cryptocurrency scam streams as that would be embarrassing

  13. How many of you have a mug in your kitchen with a dead URL on it?

  14. I made a flapping butterfly actuated by a hand wound coil of magnet wire in a strong magnetic field.

    After destroying one 555 timer IC (probably by a high voltage inductive spike) I decided to incorporate a PC817 in the driver circuit.

  18. 42 years ago Carol Shaw's River Raid was released for the Atari 2600. Shaw had programmed one of the earliest procedurally generated vertical scrolling video games. Her "River of No Return" was effectively infinite.

    After countless gamers had cleared the river of obstacles, I reimagine the river today now occupied by wildlife
