I believe the speed also depends on how many activated dots there are per line in the image, as thermal print heads often have a limit to the number of elements that can be activated at once.

There's also this which works using a purely physical process: https://www.koehlerpaper.com/en/products/Thermal-paper/TH_Bl...

At least in Firefox and Chrome on MacOS, you can search <select> dropdown menus by typing.

Birds tend to be attracted to seeds.

This is awesome! It would be great if there were more sound clips — maybe someone could make an app that lets anyone capture and upload GPS-tagged recordings. Moderation could be an issue though.

freesound.org is the perfect place to upload these. i'm using their api to scan new sounds that are geotagged and put them on the map

That's ~162.5 MB in transit at any time

Excellent for pingfs (https://github.com/yarrick/pingfs)

There's a patent (2017/0280211 A1) for using this as a data storage method, and there was a company called Lyteloop trying to leverage the idea for data storage with estimations for petabytes across constellation.

That could you used like RAM like the delay-line memory used by early computers!

Shouldn't it be 1000/16 = 62.5? Impressive nonetheless, of course!

The article says 2.6 gigabits/second which is 2,600,000,000 bits/second, 2,600,000,000b/s * 0.5s / 8 is 162,500,000 bytes, 162,500,000 / 1,000,000 is 162.5 megabytes

Right, thanks

Weird.

This is great.

Feedback: It looks like geolocation for anonymous "FUBARS" is based on IP, but the weather widget uses the browser geolocation API.

It looks like the stroke/border is not taken into account in the physics simulation.

This can be fixed by:

       for (let re of rects) {
         push();
         translate(re.body.position.x, re.body.position.y);
         rotate(re.body.angle);
    -    rect(0, 0, re.w, re.h, 2);
    +    rect(0, 0, re.w - 1, re.h - 1, 2);
         pop();
       }

In touchpad mode, you can rotate by moving your cursor while holding option.

Thanks, I eventually discovered it after a ton of trial and error. It's a shame though because the whole point of a touchpad is multitouch gestures which actually make navigating CAD applications pretty nice. I'll use a touchpad or a combination of touchpad and mouse in other apps like KiCad and it works quite well. Seems to me like all these open source programs should be stealing/sharing the best implementations of some of these basic things like 2D/3D input controls with each other.

You can also just use du -hs, eg. to show the size of all subdirectories under ~/Library/Caches/ do:

  du -hs ~/Library/Caches/*
