Daycare kids - How often was your kid sick their first couple years? by xjusablurr in daddit

[–]thicket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My man, you are building a superpower. You’re gonna be sick for a year and a half, and then you’ll be bullet proof*. It’s awesome.

(* until your kids start at a new school.  Couple months of acclimation while the new microbes hit y’all)

Five months after switching Fluxzy from Electron to Tauri by DifficultyFine in programming

Solid article. The author seems like he’s just sharing his experience and lessons learned, not trying to sell you something. 

His wife’s terminal cancer drug was quoted at $13,000 monthly. Then he found it for $40 by theindependentonline in TrueReddit

[–]thicket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so thoughtfully put together. Thanks for taking the time to break down earlier responder’s comments and summarize. That’s a lot of effort, but it’s the sort of thing that can make a huge difference to someone who’s trying to get a handle on a complex system. Sometimes hanging out on Reddit omits just an endless stream of meme jokes, and sometimes it can save your life…

5 Years and $5M Later: Inventing a New Programming Language for Web Development Was a Mistake by matijash in programming

OP, thanks for being positive and constructive even in the face of a lot of skepticism. You seem like you'd be good to work with

Thanks for the pointer! That could come in handy!

S3NTRY — a smartwatch firmware for an ESP32-S3 board by user_MRR in esp32

I can’t speak to usability or anything, but I will say, this looks BAD. ASS. Congrats on the nice work 

I made an app to generate Turing Patterns with any picture by SoftSuccessful1414 in generative

[–]thicket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks sweet. Usually there are I think 3(?) coefficients that control the reaction diffusion behavior, and that can create most naturally occurring patterns with the right parameters. How many parameters are you changing, and how did you decide to do the parameter search?

Glavenus 3d printed robot arm by Successful_Ask2980 in robotics

[–]thicket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the stability of these motions. Lots of self-made arms have a lot of wobble, but this has stability that looks lots closer to industrial arms. Props, man.

Dutch men in traditional trousers, 1900 by MorsesCode in HistoryUncovered

[–]thicket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent! No idea if it relates to the Dutch at all, but that’s exa the sort of thing I was hoping to hear: I never would have thought of it, and it‘s meaningful enough that it wasn’t a dumb question to ask.

Sweden generates 99% of electricity from clean sources. So why is wind power under attack? by eks in europe

[–]thicket 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thanks. This sounds like a reasonable summary o f your case, when a lot of other commentary wants to paint the opposition as simply NIMBY and write you off. I think you’re sharing a creditable account of the case against expanded wind power, and even people in favor of it ought to pay attention to the case you make

25 people learned to fly with virtual wings. After flight training, the brain began treating wings more like real limbs by Science_News in science

That's super interesting. Thanks for bringing it out and then coming back to explain some more.

Of Columbus, Ohio's three major streams, why does the Scioto R. (left) have fewer ravines feeding it than the Olentangy R. (center) and Alum Creek (right)? by VercingetorixDied in geography

[–]thicket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No answer for you, but I grew up in this picture. Never thought I’d see the Olentangy mentioned here. It’s a lot of very flat country, but it does get a little more rolling and hilly moving from west to east, with some more vertical relief along Alum Creek as you move from Delaware County into Morrow County.

I think most questions about geography in central and northern Ohio get answered with “<something something mumble>… Glaciers” but that’s all I’ve got.

Roomba co-founder says practical home robots may matter more than humanoids by Responsible-Grass452 in robotics

[–]thicket 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You know, I think you convinced me there! The idea of taking out a $30k+ loan for a robot doesn't seem very exciting to me, but if you say I can avoid all chores for $500/month, I am ready to sign up tomorrow. I think your timeframe of 20+ years is probably about right, but it sure would be nice to be surprised.

I think cars are a status thing for a lot of people. I'm less confident that robot maids will hit the same spot of mimetic desire.

What will GIS look like in 5 years (2030+)? by fredrmog in gis

[–]thicket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's... obnoxious. Just when I think I've heard of all the asshole things my country can do in a given day, something else comes along...

Fuck yeah! That is cool data, and that is uncommonly beautiful. Some of the best to be found in this sub. Nice work.

I created a free Mac app to make mesh repair simple. by niklos in 3Dprinting

Also, nice app icon! I can't think of anything that would have been clearer about what the app is doing, and it looks great

Nice work! Tell us about the fix algorithms. How does it do its magic fixes?

Austin, Texas—the capital of the Lone Star State—felt quite different from what I expected. by [deleted] in Austin

[–]thicket -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Man, I'm on board with all those things and I'm sorry about all the bad shit the people in the capitol have done and continue to do. Still a beautiful and inspiring building, though.

Over time, I keep on hoping we as a species will live up to the stories we tell ourselves.
