  • Is there a song in a foreign language you like the melody to but didnt know the lyrics?

  • First I just want to say, that is a damn beautiful website. No ads, no popups, just pure information.

    And second, as a former back end developer who has spent a huge amount of time working on input sanitization and building database schemas, that list gave me mild PTSD for a job I have never even had.

  • It would be really fun to see a modern mockup of the world he envisioned for 2014. Elevated moving sidewalks with benches, transparent cubical 3D displays, automated kitchen and glowing wall panels.

  • Somethin’ like a fish.

  • Progressive JSON

    Jump

  • I’m assuming this only makes sense when the client can do something useful with an incomplete json object. I wonder how much extra overhead this would require on both the server and client side.

  • Inigo Quilez: computer graphics, mathematics, shaders, fractals, demoscene

    Jump

  • One of my favorite people! If you’re at all interested in computer graphics, math, fractals, or art, you should really check out his work on shadertoy.com. The hundreds of projects he has shared there are an incredible educational tool, not to mention many are just jaw-droppingly beautiful. Here’s a link to one I particularly enjoy.

  • Me too. Whenever I get a complement on it from a stranger I instantly know we will get along.

  • You can broadcast a single thought to everyone alive. What thought would cause immediate chaos everywhere?

    3 1/4 vintage floppy cameras.

    Jump

  • The Sony Mavica FD91 was the first digital camera I ever owned! I used it the last couple years of high school and during a short homestay in Japan. You could pick up a giant box of 3.5" floppies for cheap, and as long as you fed it a stead supply of batteries it worked pretty well.

    Here are some photos I took that are at, I believe, the highest quality setting (1024 x 768 and about 170kb each). Though I think Lemmy shows them shrunk down in the feed, if you open the image in a new tab you can see the full resolution.

    Zoomed in.

    And a closeup.

    The 14x optical zoom was pretty amazing back then.

  • Why the fuck are they so sensitive?

    Jump

  • When I first moved to Japan over twenty years ago they were already about a hundred years ahead of typical US toilet/bath technology. For me, using one of these faucets where you can just set the temperature by number was like Liko getting beamed from her hut directly onto the damn Enterprise.

  • Can they add a little speaker and have it play some smooth jazz when unzipping?

  • I just got back from visiting my parents who were struggling to fix an unreliable dishwasher that keeps clogging, fails to dry, stinks, etc. This is PERFECT timing for that video!

  • Name of exercise machine (?) with three concentric rings and a person strapped into the middle spinning in all directions?

    Jump

  • A similar machine also plays a role in the 1997 movie Contact.
