I’m partial to OVVO, I tend to be pretty hard on frames (-8 prescription, I can’t not wear glasses), but the two pairs I’ve had have been nigh indestructible- deceptively sturdy especially given how thin and light they are. (Bonus points for not being part of the eyeglass cartel too)
This. A scrum master’s job should be first and foremost making sure that the dev team has what it needs to get real actual work done. Ideally, the scrum master should be face tanking status/ update meeting, coordinating with outside entities, and ensuring that as few distractions make it to the team as possible.
ASL can count as high as you need to, it gets kind of tedious after about a 999, because of all the place markers that need to be added in (like manual counting, or spelling out a number on a check), but one can sign up to 999 with a single hand. for numbers up to 99, it’s more or less using the chart above. For everything after that you mark the hundreds place with the letter C and then go on the rest of the number (476, would be signed 4 C 76). Beyond that, it’s just a matter of adding on the place value signs for “THOUSAND”, “MILLION”, etc. (which are two handed signs) so, 456,789 would be signed as 4 C THOUSAND 56 7 C 89.
The exception to this would be strings of numbers, like phone or room numbers, where you sign them much like how they’d be spoken. So when directing someone to room 235, you’d just sign 2 35 (the concept of hundreds isn’t really important here, because in most cases, the leading 2 just means the room is on the second floor).
Edit: ASL is very visual so here’s a link (with the caveat that there’s variations in signs between signers/ regions, so online stuff may be different than what folks in your area are using)
That sounds like a perfectly capable school machine (especially for $250). According to the service manual for that model, it looks like the storage can be upgraded (assuming that you can get your hands on an SSD). There’s no mention of replacing the RAM, so I’d almost bet on that being soldered, but realistically 16gb should be plenty for the use cases you mentioned.
Yeah! I put an order in for it back when it was announced and I think I saw that they’re not far from shipping out (I’m excited!)
I’m also a Kickstarter backer for Olan’s new project Godspeed whenever that gets off the ground. I’m just still bitter and very willing to hold a corporate grudge (it’d take purging the CEO and board before I’d even consider giving them money again).
From the deep Final Space shaped hole in my heart, fuck WB/ Discovery.
I’m of the opinion that claiming media for tax breaks should immediately forfeit IP/ copyright protections and require it to be made available to the public.
So… A Chromebook?
I’m in my late 20’s and while I have a good job and enough cash on hand that I could make a down payment and move out, I’m not sure that I want to… As a US-ian The economy is in pretty rough shape and I’m not sure I want to be tied up in a mortgage when the bubbles start popping. Plus, if I were to uproot myself and move away from my family and friends, I’d almost rather full send it and emigrate to somewhere walkable, where the wrong medical diagnosis isn’t a financial death sentence.
I’m partial to isthereanydeal.com for a more platform agnostic view of historical lows (it’s also super handy to see if a game gets frequently bundled or is perpetually on sale).
Carol of the Bells absolutely slaps! I’ll very much agree that it’s one of the few Christmas songs I genuinely enjoy.
Ender’s 3 price point is tricky, because the initial machine is so cheap there isn’t a whole lot else in the same sub-$200 bracket that’s particularly great. Realistically, if you can step up to $300 (which you’d probably spend in upgrades for the ender anyway), you’ve got the Bambu A1 and Elegoo Centauri Carbon. I’m not personally a fan of Bambu, but they are very set and forget folks that don’t mind being in an ecosystem seem to love them. Centauri is on the newer side, but from everything I’ve seen, it seems to be a very strong contender for best budget printer (also worth noting that there’s rumblings of a version 2 coming out early year, so you might be able to snag a clearance sale or some shiny new features).
Gamers Nexus did a piece on this, but short of a crash or bubble pop, it’s not expected to recover any time soon.
Woo hoo! Decidedly not boring! I’m usually content to make a 3D printed part that holds load and fits where it’s supposed to, I can’t imagine the amount of time and skill it’d take to knap a quartz blade that large and not shatter the whole thing, let alone have the thing hold up over 5000 years.
Any chance you know what the handle is made of? Naively, the pommel kind of makes me think of a jaw bone, but the more I think above it, the more likely I think I’d be carved ivory, which is a whole other set of crazy skills and limited tooling.
Won’t bore us with it? This is the first I’ve hearing of it and that artifact sounds cool as hell!
Also, gorgeous sketch, really clean line work!
Sonarqube is a kind of like an automated code quality checker that works for a bunch of programming languages. It’s pretty configurable (though I’ve never configured it myself), so it can be set up to check a code base for a wide range of things.
There’s a couple of different ways to run it, in my experience bigger companies usually have a dedicated server on their internal networks that connects to their CI/CD pipelines so that code gets checked before it gets merged in.
On a smaller scale, it’s also possible to run locally (either on metal or inside a docker container). From there you’d install a plugin to your IDE of choice.

I think I see the play on words, since each key is a “sign”. In practice though, Sign Languages tend to be a mix of logographic language where each sign represents an idea or concept and segmental language where you string a bunch of letters/ sounds together to make words. I can only really speak to American Sign Language (ASL), but generally you only finger spell to super short words/ acronyms (like ASL) or as a fallback for when someone might not know a sign / when something might not have a sign (like proper nouns).
4k’s are their own special thing, but for regular Blu-ray’s I’ve had good luck using the MakeMKV integration for VLC (and Handbrake).
Technically there’s also libbluray from the same folks that make VLC, but in order to use it you have to have a list of disk IDs and their decryption keys which are annoying to get ahold of (I think I remember running across a community generated list or a methodology to break the key on avsforum, but it’s been years since I mucked with it- makemkv is significantly easier)
Also, if you want disk menus, you’ll need to have some version of the java 8 runtime installed and configured for VLC to use.
Lego Marvel Superheroes is probably one of my favorite Lego games! It’s not without its faults (it kinda bugs me that free play just sticks you back in with pretty much the same cast of characters), but it’s just so much fun to wander around the over world map causing wanton chaos and being a general menace. Plus, I love that the characters generally voice aced by the same people that voice/ play them in live action or other shows, so when Iron Man talks it sounds like Iron Man.
That’s completely fair! I was just noting that notepad++ and some whitespace has almost entirely replaced Word in my writing workflow, since I don’t tend to write anything with the intent of printing it (mostly just personal notes and programming documentation). Plus, my train of thought was along the lines of a bulleted outline that’s meant to be replaced in situ with actual writing.
That said, I have used LaTeX a bit though and I remember it being super neat once I got the hang of it! I had some grad school papers that needed journal style formatting and slapping an import at the top of the file and moving on with my life was far and away easier than fighting with Word. Come to think of it, it might be worth taking a stab at formatting my resume with LaTeX, just to see if document parsers have an easier time with it…
Dungeon Crawler Carl has to be one of my top two favorite reads in the last year (I’d give it the top spot, but Red Rising was also really good)! It’s a struggle to convey just what makes it so good, but it’s been a fantastic ride. I can’t wait for the next book in May!
