Maybe when I get done with uni, I’ll get to do my project of a camera recording AV1 onto microcassetes
what can be soldered, by age
0-12: we are not old enough to handle a soldering iron, that's dangerous!!
12-18: we can solder anything as long as it's thin wire that we can twist.
18-22: we can solder anything metal if we can get it to heat up to tinning temp with a soldering iron, which means it's gotta be small and probably flat.
23-onward: we can solder anything even vaguely metallic if you give us a way to make a big fire and an abundant supply of a reducing agent
https://github.com/apexys/RangeCode anyhow, here's the code. "Works" for files up to 600 bytes in reasonable time.
Turns out Range Encoding (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_encoding) doesn't really work if you use fractions. Whipped up a quick demo in Rust and it's both slow as std::fuck::Fuck as well as produces files that are about 1000x larger than the input.
Space chicken idea:
Redo mongo db so that everytime someone tries to use it, horseback archers come by and raze everything to the ground. Call it mongol db.
Although, on second thought, that pretty close to what's already happening.
Now with 250% more hue correction!
