The last sentence is great, the only thing required for a quarter-mile range lightning turret is a bit of capital and 30ft of capacitors.

You may already know this but Dwayne Johnson is pretty obviously on steroids or some other kind of anabolic agent.

In Hollywood anabolics are quite common, since preparing for a role can be a very short term thing, testosterone decreases with age, and very low body fat but large physiques are seen as normal.

Also, shorter people generally have it easier to have a muscular looking physique because of how the muscle mass limit scales with size.

I quite enjoyed this narration/documentary of the flesh pit by Wendigoon: https://youtu.be/zcKR0KhTgHg

As always there is a relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1138/ So many geographic statistics just boil down to population density maps instead.

Google has Open-Match[1] for matchmaking where you just have to provide an API that takes a batch of players and returns groups, and it handles the surrounding stuff, also integrates with Agones[2] to automatically provision servers on k8s.

An example of what seems to be a reasonable usecase for UDP proxy is Quilkin[1] from Google. Made for hosting game servers on Kubernetes, and supports session auth, routing, monitoring, and various other features, some of them using prefix bits in UDP packages.

Also used for DOS protection without the traffic hitting the server.

Not sure how usable it is but Google actually has a lot of open-source stuff for game hosting on kubernetes with agones + openmatch + quilkin, I am somewhat tempted to play with them at some point.

A video I rather enjoyed is this history of EVE Online. 6 hours and almost 4 million views: https://youtu.be/BCSeISYcoyI

I find these videos where a person just dedicated months/years to a single subject and condensed it down to hours to be amongst the most interesting.

Small note: Zermatt (the town you are probably talking about) is not the only car-free one in Switzerland. There are quite a few others[0], 10 towns in total, according to this website.

The swiss solution does come with per hour pricing but it's still 0.50 CHF / minute. Which is still very expensive for hobbyists.

I feel like the marginal costs for users is so low that it would be better if it were handled as a common good like GNSS systems themselves.

I just learned that Switzerland has a nationwide RTK network for cm level positional accuracy using GPS, Galileo, GALILEO, and/or Beidou, GNSS systems. And they have a nice map of all the station locations[0].

It's a bit of shame that the pricing seems to be rather steep for frivolous use, but it seems to be rather new.

It would be interesting to see what possibilities a totally free nationwide RTK system would open up.

Swisstopo is a government organization that already provides many services like highly accurate maps for free.

If I remember correctly Hack The Box (The CTF Platform) used to require solving a small challenge to even create an account. Though I wouldn't exactly classify it as social media.

One example where I had issues with Mailhog was that the docker images was very bloated 138.8MB[0], there was a PR that should have brought it back to 7MB or something but it was never merged.

And not sure about this, but at least for docker, the included certificates can become outdated if not frequently rebuilt, and since Mailhog is software used when testing, being able to spin up a ready-to-use sandboxed instance is very useful.

This sadly isn't quite the case as this post demonstrates[0]

> - The path is limited to MAX_PATH (260 chars)

> - Unless you prefix the path with \\?\

> - However using \\?\ disables automatic conversion of / to \ in the path (and some other normalization)

I was researching this because I was wondering how fast you can make LED flicker for lighting effects before it looks like constant brightness.

I found most of the information on Wikipedia[0], and the limit seems to be at about 80hz, but together with movement, some people can see stroboscopic effects up to 10khz.

And 15,90 CHF (18.56 USD) in Switzerland (for one person).

Steam and other digital service providers always have really high, or the highest prices in Switzerland.

Sadly the creator shut it down, but Elemental 3 was basically the same premise, but instead of AI for combinations it had user suggestions and ratings.

He made a video to visualize some of the final data though: https://youtu.be/rQWwfYSUckY

Also I vaguely remember a game with basically the same premise but the goal was to create life.

According to this post[0] (though I never tested it), sometimes, when using long paths, Windows will disable the forward/backwards slash normalization.

Hard to answer, but I was interested because I assumed it built on the "recent" work to bring rust into the kernel. Where I haven't read much news about how it is being used except for Asahi Linux.

Somewhat disappointed that it is using eBPF instead, but still interesting to learn that even such fundamental and performance sensitive parts such as the scheduler can be changed.
