I write the open-source photo editor Filmulator as a hobby.

I'm also the lead software dev on the PhobGCC hall-effect motherboard for Gamecube controllers.

At the same time, it's a tax policy that would improve the housing supply in desirable locations.

Tax policy was never about "freedom and liberty", it's about collecting revenue for government and guiding economic development.

> kept all the pieces 0.2mm apart

You can add glass microspheres to adhesives to guarantee bondline thickness. It's often done nowadays whenever you have different metals meeting with a glue bond because it keeps them electrically isolated, preventing galvanic corrosion.

Polygonal aperture openings are not the cause of soap-bubble bokeh, it's the cause of polygonal stopped-down bokeh.

Heavily ringed bokeh just comes from the optics.

The bold text use make me think it was largely LLM-written. Maybe even LLM-researched.

Row/col works but width/height doesn't, alas.

My dad told a story of a classmate in high school going through the effort of manually justifying text in a paper he wrote and being rewarded with a plagiarism accusation.

That was done by typing the whole paper twice, with added spaces the second time.

Mitosis Anaphase, a handwired sandwich design based on the Mitosis keyboard.

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/8wip5j...

I type with the keyboard on my lap so a split design didn't work for me, hence creating this handwired contraption.

I use the Dvorak layout and have two alternate layers. In the number layer, the top row is punctuation, home row is numbers, and bottom row spilling into the thumb cluster is F keys). The other utility layer has mouse keys and media control.

Keyswitches: Box Navy

Caps: Polycarbonate DCS alphas R1-R3-R4, DSA R3 for the tall thumb caps, G20 for the low thumb caps.

I think there's a distinction between creating generic info-gathering technology that helps them gather their own data from their own users, and you gathering data that the government can then ask (force) you to hand over.
