Memes@sopuli.xyz•Philips shouldn't exist anymore. Torx plus is the champ
3·2 months agoThe important bit is further down
Our Phillips tips follow the ISO 8764-1 standard, which is compatible with the JIS standard B 4633. In fact, of the three main standards, ASME, ISO, and JIS, the least strict standard is JIS. As shown below, the JIS dimensions almost all fall within the ASME or ISO acceptable dimensions. Therefore, any Phillips screwdriver, such as our new Tekton Phillips screwdrivers, can be made to meet JIS standards. In fact, you should expect that all well-made drivers that meet the ASME or ISO standards will also meet the JIS standard.
But yes, this doesn’t make clear if this has changed over time.

Programming@programming.dev•The Fastest Gravity Algorithm You've Never Heard Of
9·3 months agoI haven’t had the chance to watch, but according to the comments it’s Barnes Hut.
XMPP is the standard messaging protocol. I recommend Conversations for android, but of course any worthwhile protocol has multiple independent frontends.
VLC can play anything because of its reliance on the amazing ffmpeg. MPV also uses ffmpeg, as does any video tool worth it’s salt.
Certainly for all. I was mostly thinking in terms of e.g. languages that (can) compile to LLVM, since you have the intermediate form already defined. But then languages layer quite a lot on top of LLVM in terms of abstractions and safety constraints that make it probably a bad intermediary even for that subset. Even just for one language, there must be something
funuseful that can be done just by viewing the same code with different syntaxes.
This also reminds me of the spatial computing project DynamicLand
I fundamentally disagree with the idea that “programming sucks” but there are some neat thoughts and tools in there.
This bit in particular:
We don’t even have to give up code! The GUI version of a program could merely be one of several human-editable representations. Just as some people love text-based interfaces to their operating systems, some people will continue to enjoy code-based interfaces to software editing. It just doesn’t have to be the default—or the only—option anymore.
I’ve often thought about the idea that to an extent a programming syntax does not have to be married to a language. We could potentially have editors and syntaxes designed so that each developer can interact with the code in the syntax they’re most comfortable with, independent of the language. I don’t know how realisable this is, it may be underestimating how tightly coupled syntax and language is.
I’m not a big fan of graphical programming in general, but there are times when I would like it just for a single function or class, for signal processing or control systems or state machines. I usually think of this in terms of editor plugins or external code gen tools rather than whole environments. Although every code gen tool I’ve used to date sucks.
It could be argued that they are a willing variant of Reverse Centaur
Start with what a reverse centaur is. In automation theory, a “centaur” is a person who is assisted by a machine. You’re a human head being carried around on a tireless robot body. Driving a car makes you a centaur, and so does using autocomplete.
And obviously, a reverse centaur is a machine head on a human body, a person who is serving as a squishy meat appendage for an uncaring machine.
That’s not a slur though, it’s generally sympathetic.
