I use the built in accessibility "Color Filters" in Mac with the Menu Bar shortcut to toggle it on/off

Somewhat related: I really like f.lux's "Darkroom" feature. Although I no longer use the app to reduce blue light after the advent of macOS's Night Shift, Darkroom mode tints the screen completely red (like a red version of Color Filters). It's great for working during the wee hours.

yes, definitely I am with you at that point, they are a great way to do this without a doubt although I am a windows user (lol) and also even if it's very fast to toggle the color filters via shortcut keys. I don't think so that I will be willing to toggle it off when I visit any work-related website like GitHub, Figma and such so site exclusion of this extension works really great for me in that perspective.


The logo in the hoodie is what made me realized it was old


There are still companies asking for # of lines of code written https://x.com/tregoning/status/1286329086176976896


This is great actually! It's short-circuit evaluation for me to not waste my time applying.


Seems very cool but all of the photos and videos I could find is about how to build it not the most important thing.. how good it is as an actual telescope how does the moon/stars etc look though it


The actual view has little to do with the build of the telescope, and lots to do with whatever optics you put in it.

The mechanical part can influence the view via "tube currents" (air flowing in the optical path due to heat convection) or by not allowing good heat flow to and from the mirror so it stabilizes quickly.

There's a few more things to consider, but remember it's mostly the optics.


Doesn't the mechanical part need to position the optics with a fair amount of precision to get a good view? Id imagine very slight movements or misadjustments could cause issues.

I don't know much about telescopes :p


You need smooth movement on altitude and azimuth axes, then the telescope must be still and vibration-free to enjoy the view. The other constraint is structural integrity to maintain alignment of the optics. Those two things are the basis of all builds (except for optics!).


I have a brand new still shrink-wrapped box of Windows 1.0.0 My local museum (https://computerhistory.org) has one on loan, this remind me to go there and offer them mine


It would be nice if the app would allow us to save templates (no need to get fancy just via URL params e.g. for the above it would be something like:`?sections=title&Desc,installation,runLocally,Support,Authors,Ack,usageExamples`

That way we could just generate a 'template' that we can share/save etc


It's surprising how Google have shot themselves in the foot with their short term thinking. Nobody trust them for anything that involves long term support on any new services/products(and several already existing products).



My poor man version of this (using web tech) https://jt.io/posts/bullet-time/


This is really cool!


This is awesome!


So cool!


Thanks!
