It’s some consumer loyalty scheme for a chain retailer? Depressingly distant from the “bicycle for the mind” I’d dreamed of.


Just plain bicycles, actually.

> not that impressive

Until you see the scale bar


They're printing 12 μm features (fig 4h). For high speed mass production of more or less arbitrary geometry with no need to retool it's seriously impressive.


Going off some Photoshop dimensionating with the scale bar, that Benchy is about w 6mm x h 5mm[0] which, if I'm reading [1] correctly, is just about 100x smaller than the canonical Benchy. Impressive that you can recognise it at all, I'd say.

[0] Strictly more like 5.5mm x 4.5mm but you get the idea.

But can they print a full-size benchy?


From the looks of the size of the things they have printed, "no?"[0]

Although if they could, it would be fantastic.

[0] Unless they print it in a whole bunch of parts you self-assemble, I guess.


I just keep a custom stylesheet that annotates usernames with various emoji. Most of the time I update it as I read, but occasionally I’ll peruse the hidden comments to note e.g. uncharitable participation and revealed bigotry.


> this is a compatibility character provided for roundtrip compatibility with legacy encodings. […] The Unicode standard explicitly discourages the use of this character

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celsius#Unicode_character)


I'm sort of buying and not buying this interpretation. Celsius is discussed under section "Unit symbols" in the PDF (page 8-9 of the linked Chapter 22), where the quoted "it is better" sentence appears...

...then immediately afterwards a new section named "Compatibility" starts where the use of code points that are composites of several letters, e.g. ℡ and ℻ are indeed discouraged, suggesting they be spelled out in full as TEL and FAX instead.

Do you feel ℃ falls into a continuation/overlap between these two sections?

For about five years an Amazon Fresh in Seattle was literally my closest grocery store but I never once set foot in there, simply because it felt icky and dystopian to let Amazon any further into my life. I wonder how many others felt similarly.


I went to one once, and it still worked like a regular grocery store, too. The only reason I never went back was because they were expensive and in an awkward location. There were some items only discounted to Prime members, but for everything else, you could forgo the technology and Amazon integration and pay with cash or a card. It's not like the Amazon Go stores where you have to use their system.


Have a mirror of the TikTok version for comparison? It’s just showing me “Video currently unavailable”.



Dang. I didn’t download it. But when was live it had the deep sound of chopper type motorcycles in the background.


I’ve always interpreted that question to mean emotionally. Yes, clearly I’m physically injured, but I still have a positive outlook.

When I do hear people respond in the negative it tends to be an opening up about stress.
