if the clove hitch is tied near the end of the rope, you can take the tail and tie an overhand knot with it around the standing line to back it up

The application and material of ropes has changed over time, specifically ABOK was published just before the advent of Nylon ropes.

i could be wrong but i owned a minilogue and don't think it supports microtuning. only some really fanxy synths do.

what about apple bananas? what about intersex people? do you consider them "mentally ill". if someone feels happier to transition, why does that bother you?

datamyne, importgenius, panjive, 52wmb are all services that collect shipping manifest information and make it searchable

Statamic is dope! not sure its open source though, i think it requires a license.

or go get a book on plants and you will be able to identify them pretty easy. The guidebooks ask you questions to narrow it down (how many petals does the flower have? for example). you dont need any knowledge going into using one, and you'll learn to observe and appreciate plants more as well through the process of IDing! newcombs wildflower is the go-to for beginners on the east coast but there are many.

Tidal has a MIDI add on which makes playing with MIDI instruments quite fun! I get patterns of notes playing and then fiddle on the knobs of the synths. So much fun :-)

Before the most recent update, it was updated April 10th. So 121 days between updates. At the same rate, it would be updated next around December 21st. But yeah that is a strange tweet, and lack of tweets since is also strange.

Wikipedia goes on and on and on and on. Here is a good facebook group with pointers to interesting pages I may not have found otherwise: https://www.facebook.com/groups/coolfreakswikipediaclub/

krebs is loading reaaaaal slow for me...i wonder if its related? or just a lot of people linking to it today.

oops but https://www.public.navy.mil and https://www.blueangels.navy.mil are i think? i'm just trying to read about the blue angels

Think of all the people that have been distanced from the project because of his behavior. Think of all the other people who would be distanced from it in the future if his behavior was tolerated and defended by the organization. This is really not a loss at all!

Actually, if you get into it, there is so much cool overlap between webdev and 3d, with three.js and webGL and everything. A lot of people doing really cool stuff in that space, one person to check out and get you down that rabbit hole is Vince McKelvie- really amazing stuff.

everyone should run burp on their phone at least once! its a kinda terrifying experience seeing how much data everyone collects on you...

YES my lunch break is going to rule, reading this. i love this series so far!

the first thing i noticed wrong with the first bike was 'oh my god that's a terrible placement for brake levers!' and only after I noticed the missing chain stays haha.

what happens if someone writes a script to publish then unpublish every dictionary word?

It depends on the model you have! Here is the link for more information: https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/

"Maybe Apple really does find the idea of hardware that can function for five years 'sad' and funny these days."

I don't think this is true. Apple just replaced the motherboard on my 2011 Macbook Pro for free. I've also upgraded the RAM, HD to a SSD, Battery, & Fans. Its running soooo good I love it.

The price of 5+ year old macbook pros, imacs, and mac pros on ebay is proof that apple does make hardware that lasts... Anyways, I'm interested in the relationship between apple releasing new products and the aftermarket value of older version. I think apple releasing newer ipads probably makes older used ipads more affordable..

the Da Vinci virus is a cover up for something even more sinister...

css stylebot or a smiliar extension that allows you to create persistent stylesheets could help you! i think your grievance is legitamate

oops thanks!

ok i have a 360 camera and this is really sweet but what could i even do with the video once encoded with facebook's transform? yet at least... guess i'll have to watch the video and wait a few month/years for more adoption. I'm having a lot of fun using my camera to generate sky/light maps for 3d animation. its a ricoh theta s. a very weird product ahead of its time in a fun but buggy way!

Great work! As someone who never does data exploratino or use python, I appreciated how annotated your iPython notebook was. It was fun to read through. (link https://github.com/BuzzFeedNews/2016-01-tennis-betting-analy... )

tl;dr: omg i saw something for $800 on amazon and it was only $40 on alibaba. And in the pictures it LOOKED THE SAME. I could buy it and resell it, so easy. Running a business is sooooooo easy, i haven't done it but i just know its easy.

actual list is behind a japanese paywall here ^_^

To me, this announcement feels pre-mature, the software doesn't seem ready until it integrates with other clients. But I think, giving time, your concerns could be addressed:

-Integration with other devices, backing up and importing your back up between devices, are features that will come, eventually.

-There are several 3rd party standalone desktop apps being developed for Signal.

-You could maybe build a Textsecure server, and in the future, who knows, there may be documentation for doing so.

Maybe Signal isn't ready for you right now now but I wouldn't count it out!

I got excited about signal after watching this video, which explains pretty well the challenges of encrypted communication and how Signal addresses them (it might be basic stuff for people super familiar with the topic though): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOMiAeRwpPA

And actually, earlier this year, WhatsApp started using the encrpytion protocol developed by the signal folks (Axolotl) to encrypt message data, Which is super cool. (I think group chats and images are still not encrypted, or something) I wonder if in the future Signal will focus on integrating their encryption into other existing chat systems like Facebook messenger, and put the Signal apps on the backburner.
