The Catskill Mountain Makers Camp

It looks enormous! I can't even begin to tell you the sheer breadth of disciplines you'll see there. Leatherworking, welding, chainsaw wood milling, blacksmithing, sewing, glassblowing, jewelrymaking, silversmithing, resin-building, timber-framing, knifemaking, machining, woodworking, plasma cutting...

OK, it turns out I could and did begin to tell you. Never mind, just look at the schedule (https://catskillmountainmakerscamp.com/maker-camp-2023...) and demonstrators (https://catskillmountainmakerscamp.com/demonstrators).

What shape would the universe's equivalent of a single pixel of 3D space be?
  • See the other answers for why this isn't really right, but given 4 dimensional spacetime, if that 'pixel' did exist, it would look like a hypercube/tessaract. A constantly stretching and twisting but approximate one, anyway.

  • Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?
  • I can often dig into the source and quickly figure out what's broken.

    And for the 99.9% of humanity for whom that is either impossible, or a dreadful slog,

    On Windows, I'm usually shit outta luck. Gotta trawl through tons of messy forums and bullshit SEO-optimised blogspam sites

  • The 11-mile long, 600 lbs IMAX print of ‘OPPENHEIMER’
  • This reminds me of one of those documentaries where they show some ridiculous mechanical contraption in a scene, and the narrator says, "Before the technology became extinct, it had become vastly more complex and sophisticated, but alas, it's days were numbered..."

  • See only subscribed in feed?

    How can one set the Connect app such that the main feed only shows posts to subscribed communities?

    I feel like this should be easy/I must be stupid...

    Is The Thought Emporium real?
  • I'd give him a significantly better than average chance of being for real. I have several friends who work in a local biotech lab who've watched his videos from whom the responses have been along the lines of "Huh, yeah, I suppose you could do it that way, if you had no money and lots of know-how..."

  • Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others?
  • I have regular nerd-arguments about it:

    "All they have to do is break two of your passwords, and they can reverse-engineer your passwords!" - Maybe, if they have a super-computer... "It's so much work" - Once. It's so much work once. Then, it's much easier than loading software or digging out a dongle every time you log into anything up until you decide to change all your algorithms... "What happens if you forget?" - What happens if you forget?

  • Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others?
  • I don't like to keep any security stuff in "the cloud", written down anywhere, or even on my own devices. It's too easy to lose everything after one security breach.

    Instead, I use password algorithms seeded from both the service name/identifier and one or more private passwords. This lets me keep thousands of service/site unique passwords in my head just by memorizing twenty or so words.
