Incredible in the sky over Donegal tonight. Super visible, even to the naked eye.

@thomasfuchs I've just hit the first anniversary of intending to do this exact job in my house. 🥲

    “So DealMachine is like getting a taste of what our friends in the EU will be getting from marketplace apps soon.”

    Which infers third party marketplaces will by default be bad actors (they won’t) and ignores the fact this app is on the App Store, which has rules (broken here) Apple claims is supposed to protect us and is why we shouldn’t have third-party App Stores.

    Gah.

    @siracusa yeahhhh. This is the same on my ID.3 and I always end up putting down the wrong window first.

    This idea to mess with school holidays keeps coming up. I don’t see the value in moving two weeks off from summer to typically gloomy and colder autumn and winter months. It’d also put overseas summer breaks well beyond more people because prices would skyrocket. https://www.theguardian.com/education/2024/feb/26/school-summer-holidays-half-term-england-calendar-nuffield-foundation-report

    @craiggrannell UK school summer holidays always seemed so short as it is, vs what we have in ireland (July + August for primary school; June, July + August for secondary).

    stephencoyle,
    @stephencoyle@mastodon.social avatar

    @craiggrannell I can imagine! I do think there's a lot to be said for a large unbroken stretch of time off. And also agree that time off in gloomy weather ≠ time off in summer.

    Getting some nice results testing out a notched spool with IR led and sensor to measure rotation.

    @stephencoyle@mastodon.social avatar

    Could probably squeeze some more notches in here, but this should give ~10mm accuracy (which, given the joke entails measuring in inches, will do).

    stephencoyle,
    @stephencoyle@mastodon.social avatar

    All in all, a much more robust solution than the rotary encoder I used in the original.

    @stephencoyle@mastodon.social avatar

    @brunoph haha yes cheap and cheerful will work for now. Though I won't rule out buying one of those for experimenting...

    @siracusa looks like a current-gen pro. But the pencil is at a weird position, and I think lens distortion makes it look like a different aspect ratio.

    @schwa why stop there? How about a 90° thread pitch that requires 0 turns to screw in.

    @schwa being in Ireland with mostly colleagues on Pacific time works pretty well to keep this at bay. All day to actually get stuff done, and just a short window of time for meetings before my eod.

    @lauren not that cat pics on the timeline are necessarily a bad thing... but are you aware this one is attached to pretty much every post you make that contains a link? Maybe a bug somewhere on your instance/setup?

    Today I walked past this dude in a full western cowboy/gunslinger outfit, and I’ve never been so instantly mesmerized by a stranger on the street like that.
