On: DARPA project reveals one person can control dozens of robots

I think that was sarcasm... I hope that was sarcasm.

Don't worry. They'll use non-lethal weaponry to merely blind innocent civilians with their military surplus gun bots.

I mean my response was sarcasm, idk about theirs ^

On: Vinyl carver sparking a craze for cutting records at home

[kiddico]

I think the appeal is having audio you made or sourced on a medium that is normally reserved for record manufacturers doing a large volume production run...

On: Canon wants us to pay for using our own camera as a webcam

[kiddico]

I know this isn't the point but investing in a usb capture card will permanently solve this issue for all future cameras.

On: Uv's killer feature is making ad-hoc environments easy

[kiddico]

Sometimes I feel like my up vote doesn't adequately express my gratitude.

I appreciate how thorough this was.

The more I get into macro photography the more I realize everyone is just trying to do their thing and survive.

Metric and northern paper wasps in particular strike me as docile lil fellas.

Space journalist Eric Berger of Ars Technica has been speaking to his contacts and writing articles about the very likely SpaceX Crew 9 plan for the last week.

A little difficult for Boeing's stock price to tank on a Saturday, though...

But I bet the market will have some things to say on Monday, unless Boeing can do some damage control before then.

Not unlike the toothbrush mustache, black turtlenecks have been ruined for everyone.

[9dev → kiddico]

Shame, that is. Ever found yourself in front of the mirror thinking, "trim a little here, a little there -- whoops, thaaat's too much"? Ruined that for all of us, the small man.

On: Cisco to acquire Isovalent

[kiddico]

There are no practical alternatives.

It's just simultaneously true that people are sad about the inevitable loss of a previously open source project, and that people are happy the devs are now getting paid for their efforts.

Imo HN tends to show both once the comments settle.
