I see tons of $35k listings, but maybe they are confusing GT with GT-Line? Or it depreciated by 2x over the past couple years?

No need to waste energy lighting up the sky; direct it toward what you need illuminated.

Also, the company the article mentions is Reflect Orbital.

Love the idea of harnessing more sun, but really disturbed by the potential destruction of darkness that it could cause when deployed at scale.

Life on Earth evolved with the night.

I've got a record player coming tomorrow. My song streaming service of choice keeps jacking up prices and now feeds me AI slop; it's time for a change.

I suspect kids growing up right now will experience a renaissance of physical media from fed-up parents.

This was when Scratch was still a downloaded program. The community was also really encouraging back then - you'd see adults and kids commenting on new projects and cheering people on, remixing, and sharing knowledge.

It's a time capsule from that era.

In fact, it happened to me today at work!

I just deleted that particular if-statement so you should be able to export.

It's not anything fancy, but gets the job done. Uses pdf-lib.

Why? Many yarncrafters painstakingly build spreadsheets, or try to bend existing general purpose pixel editors to their will. It's time consuming & frustrating.

Along the way, I've solved a bunch of problems:

  - Automatic decreases (shapes the hat) / overstitching markers (shows when multiple colors are used in the same row)
  - Parameterized designs, like waves, trees, geometric shapes. No more manually moving an object by a couple of pixels, it's a simple click & drag.
  - Color palette merging (can't delete a color if you already use it in a pattern!)
  - Export to PDF (so you can print it or stick it on a tablet)
  - Repeat previews (visualize the pattern as it repeats horizontally)

If you drag a shape near the right edge of the canvas, you'll see it "wrapping around" onto the right edge.

This reflects the 3D reality of a hat!

After hiking, take a very close look at all of your body parts and remove any ticks. You can bag them and send them off to a lab for testing as well.

I've known multiple Lyme's sufferers. You do not want this.

There's something special about seeing the craters with your own eyes and then sharing that with friends. The framing & cropping, zoom, color of the sky are all unique to that experience.

Plus the moon is always looking slightly different each time, with different areas shadowed; fuzzy details one day are sharp the next.

And it's a skill like any other, which feels great to improve day after day.
