The Waldo Dress

In a first for me, a fashion designer named Bożena Karska asked me a while ago permission to use one of my peacock feather photos as inspiration for a dress she is designing. I said yes to her request, and couple of months later she emailed me with the result - I am impressed (though that model can do with some love)!

Update Clearly not just me...

Everyone Must Be Developers

This is just retarded:

If I were a French student and I were 10 years old, I think it would be more important for me to learn coding than English. I'm not telling people not to learn English in some form — but I think you understand what I am saying is that this is a language that you can [use to] express yourself to 7 billion people in the world, - Cook tells Konbini.

It is equivalent in me standing up and advocating to the leaders of this world that engineering should be a mandatory subject in school as engineers speak to 7 billion people in the world, and everyone should be engineers.

Custom Water Cooling

As I alluded to before, I have been working on solving a problem I experienced with the custom workstation I have built last year. That problem is heat. I solved it as per the photo below.

CaseLabs SMA8 - Lights Off (or On!?)
CaseLabs SMA8 - Lights Off (or On!?)

I did not realize it initially, but the heat generated by the two 1080 Ti cards coupled with the Phanteks Evolv case caused the two cards to thermal throttle pretty much for anything I do that uses GPU power. The GPU temperatures would quickly run up to 84˚C, and the cards would start dropping their clock speed to stay within the thermal limits. This basically nerfed the 1080 Ti cards' performance half way back to the 1080 I originally had. Kind of pointless to spend $2000 on an upgrade only to lose that advantage due to excess heat.

Fighting Post Truth #4: MKBHD Assigning Arbitrary Masses

For this article you need to watch this video from MKBHD. He is reviewing the iPhone 8. In this review he makes a remark about the weight of the iPhone 8, but this remark is so horribly wrong that I could not help but highlight this often made mistake - people saying things without doing their research first.

And it is just a bit heavier feeling because glass is after all, a heavier material than metal.

Check out this table of the weights of various different materials, as well as this one and Corning's Gorilla Glass.
