Reminder to self: check if the WordPress.com classic editor is still alive and still supports adding Crowdsignal (formerly Polldaddy) polls (Crowdsignal is part of Automattic, the WordPress.com parent company).
From [Wayback/Archive] Crowdsignal Dashboard – Polls, Surveys & more plugin for WordPress (I made the areas that are important to me in bold):

For modern scaleable UI applications, it helps a lot when one has a consistently designed scalable icon set with icons having the same dimensions and features.
In more than just one sense, designing and developing such sets is a lot like developing and designing scaleable fonts. It is not surprising that by now many of these are available as fonts.
Ons of them is [Wayback/Archive] Segoe Fluent Icons font – Windows apps | Microsoft Learn which on the page has the complete list: an impressive one indeed and as such a leap from the old dingbat fonts like Zapf Dingbats fonts (yes, I am more than ITC Zapf Dingbats old; most glyphs ended up in the Dingbats (Unicode block) in 1991), Wingdings from Microsoft Windows 3.1 on, Wingdings 2 and Wingdings 3 in Microsoft Office versions until Office 2010, and the – now part of Core fonts for the web – Webdings as of Internet Explore 4.
Those old fonts only had small sets of icons – usually no more than 230, some just dozens – and Segoe Fluent Icons has a huge set of icons.

The tweet [WaybackSave/Archive] Jakub Kočí on X: “”Everybody should have an obsession with Lisp-like language at least once in their life” @KevlinHenney I’m glad that I had one with Clojure.” mentioned a great talk:
[Wayback/Archive] The Past, Present & Future of Programming Languages • Kevlin Henney • GOTO 2024 – YouTube
The quote brought instant memories to my early computing days that I had almost forgotten: the muMATH (the muMATH-80 version on Apple II) computer algebra system which was based on muLISP (the German muLISP page has more detailed information), a LISP dialect.
In retrospect, I was way too young to really grasp LISP which was way harder than just using the muMATH wrapper. But it was also my first encounter to reasoning systems, or what we now collectively would call AI systems as back in the 70s there was a strong LISP connection to artificial intelligence . Do not confuse muMath with MuMath-Code however, that is a different LLM beast: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – youweihao-tal/MuMath-Code
So hopefully I will have a chance to revisit LISP with a LISP-like language one day, maybe even using the discontinued muMATH-83 on MS-DOS (also named “Microsoft LISP“), maybe even the (also discontinued) Derive 6.1 for Windows which is also based on muLISP, or even Clojure itself.

I was looking for a way to measure Windows disk performance from the console as I was used to using the [Wayback/Archive] CrystalDiskMark GUI measurement tool.
So I was glad to learn a few years back at the end of 2022 that [Wayback/Archive] CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4c is based on [Wayback/Archive] DISKSPD 2.0.21a. Which back then was an older version as [Wayback/Archive] DISKSPD 2.1 had been released fall 2021.
I found this out via [Wayback/Archive] Performance benchmarking with CrystalDiskMark on Nutanix: Read the rest of this entry »

The innards of these devices and how those work are so cool: [Wayback/Archive] Inside a cheap set of eBay digital calipers – YouTube
It should be noted that the quiescent current of these devices is around 18uA, even when off (the display goes off until movement is detected).
Some users are reporting a very short battery life, but a typical 100mAh (0.1Ah) button cell should be able to supply 0.00002A for a very long time. (Theoretically 100’s of days.)
The linear capacitive encoder in these units is very impressive. The physical encoder is seemingly very simple, with the bulk of the work being done by the ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit). It’s very similar in its cost optimisation to the cheap, but super-accurate weighing scales.
I’m really impressed by the accuracy of these units for their price. They are very common on eBay for as little as £5 (about $7 USD).

Need to figure out where the ArchiveTeam will be uploading the below archive, as this will help me figure out which links in post blogs I will need to update.
Also, Google never got back to me with an answer what to do with various map and image related shortened URLs for which they themselves also use the goo.gl domain.
[Wayback/Archive] ArchiveTeam has finished archiving all goo.gl short links – hckrnws
