Hazard Lee on YouTube has a great video going into the new system they have for fighter pilots to pee in their planes.

With solid motors lower in the atmosphere with high velocity it's often optimal to delay second stage ignition so that your sustainer motor isn't working against as much atmosphere. So, kinda Max-Q issues, but for performance reas

I love these kind of inadvertent measurements. One of my favorite examples is that a sufficiently accurate IMU can get you relatively accurate longitude measurements from the Coriolis effect.

This is basically how Digital ReadOuts (DROs) work on manual milling machines, and I'd assume they use the same thing on CNC machines as well.

Dereferencing just gets whatever the value is of that data type that is at the memory location in the pointer. That memory location is all the data that is in that pointer, all other data on how to use it is in the compiled-in type. the len

Thanks for the recommendation, I like how they're adapting the pivoting head from the cartridge razors to the ecosystem of the safety razor. I've been using the Henson Razor, which tackles the safety razor skill issue by fixing th

After I decided to start shaving, I tried a few different razors. The benefit of the cartridge razor is that it requires less skill than the safety razor. The pivoting head puts it at the right angle every time. The downside, however, is th

I've mostly used it for testing and scripting CLIs. Are there any better ways to do that?

I'd also recommend Experimental Fat Loss, although some of his stuff can be a bit ranty. He's got good data and experiments, though, which is why I recommend him. Notably, he cured his non-24 with his diet. https://www.

Thank you for that explanation, I was confused as to what was happening with the multiple decoders. That's a wild way to implement a processor front end.

I compare my use of FreeCAD to Stockholm Syndrome. The UI is clunky, fillets and chamfers are inconsistent at best, and sometimes things just break. Larger models are difficult at best. However, it has been getting better. Toponaming is fin

There are several projects that implement the MTG engine and are in active use. Forge and Xmage are the main ones. You could ask their developers how they avoid getting C&D'ed. It's definitely doable and your work doesn't

You might also enjoy watching "How to Make Everything" and "Blondiehacks" Edit: Clickspring is fantastic too, his Antikythera mechanism project is just phenomenal.

Alternatively, you should avoid it like you would crack cocaine or heroin, because it's that addicting.

There's very few emergencies that the lock would kill them in if used properly. Since it would only be locked once the shuttle got to space and once it would open to hard vacuum. It would be unlocked before reentry. The only other fail

Outer Wilds is by far the best game I've ever played. It's wonderfully melancholy in so many ways, especially in how you can only really play it once. If you're the kind of person who reads HN, you're the kind of person

There's a setting somewhere to auto download cards when they're seen. That should get you up and running quicker!

A discord server that I'm in used this when the admin decided to retire and wanted to leave the server in good hands. It worked fantastically, and the server is still going strong to this day.

Zack Freedman is pretty good. How to Make Everything is bootstrapping civilization from the stone age, so that's pretty neat.

Anything technical about the actual system is probably classified because it's active military hardware, but some possible avenues of reading would be the F-35 sensor fusion paper, as well as some radar textbooks like Stimson or Skolni

The difference is less the CIWS and more the amount of displacement that they have to spend on capabilities and the generality of those capabilities. Even LCSs, effectively overpowered corvettes, have CIWS. They don't have the radar wh

Modern warships are far, far better than the ones that we used in the 50s. We have more powerful engines, more redundancy, and better damage control systems. The sensors that we have on the ships are much better, and they are used to contro
