Another method for adding an attachment to the front stock of the X-22 Backpacker stock on a 10/22 Takedown rifle.
This is a good write up on using a 10/22 Takedown for an Appleseed marksman event. I'm planning on doing something similar; not sure how I will attach the sling to the X-22 Backpacker front stock... I'll either screw in a QD cup near the front or maybe buy the Hunter forestock which is longer and includes MLOK holes already.
Another Ciechanowski masterpiece. This and other of his essays remind me of Asimov's The Clock We Live On
"Hostile critics have attempted to shrug off Aaron’s action as the consequence of mental illness. On the contrary, Aaron’s choice was a political action arising from his deeply held anarchist convictions. In the following collection, we share Aaron’s own summary of his politics, followed by testimony from three of Aaron’s close friends."
Nice write up of a 10/22 takedown rifle build using a third party (Brownells) receiver
A stack machine that can play chess implemented in 84,688 python regular expressions.
Here's a game I played against it (I'm white -- it played as well as you'd expect from a 2-ply engine :)
A good series on how sensitive accuracy is to various factors of marksmanship (group tightness, consistency of ammo velocity, cartridge selection, wind calls...)

A 192-channel phased array microphone, with FPGA data acquisition and beamforming/visualization on the GPU. Phased arrays allow for applications not possible with traditional directional microphones, as the directionality can be changed instantly, after the recording is made, or even be focused at hundreds of thousands of points simultaneously in real time.
A very nice and concise description of learning discrete functions (in this case to [approximately] reverse Conway's game of life) by approximating them with differentiable functions (Gaussians here)

This is a neat project that uses a scriptable (in lua) USB power meter / PD trigger to charge lithium batteries.
I've just had my first ever moth scare. I knit a wool hat and left it in my closet for several months and recently discovered it was moth eaten. Luckily most of my yarn is stored in a different room (sealed in vacuum bags), but I wasn't sure how long ago I moved several of the skeins out of that closet. I examined them all and didn't see any signs of moth infestation, but I baked most of the wool ones at 55C in my 3d printer enclosure just in case.
