One of the challenges of (even modern) scuba diving is that failure conditions are at odds with normal reflexes. For example, if you run out of air your first reflex as a non-diver might be to hold your breath and swim to the surface. As po

I’ve had some luck with Remarkable. Remarkable has a reasonably good experience for getting a PDF to the device, working with it, and then getting it back to the source as a seemingly plain PDF.

I’d imagine it might be technically possible but not practical. The weight required for ballistic parachute systems is substantial. On small aircraft (such as Cirrus and Icon) it reduces the useful load, and thus range/payload, substan

This was one of my favorite museums in the world. My wife and I have many good memories playing checkmo against a beautifully maintained PDP-8 At the museum. She just yelled out a genuine “No!” when I relayed the closure. At one point they

There are similar (but more basic) systems built into some retractable gear aircraft. They generally provide an audible alert if the plane appears about to land but the gear is still up. Pilots still land gear up, even with the alarm sound

You may be an outlier. Personally, I’ve tried a number of different brands and haven’t found one that’s consistent enough for me to get through even a half day of work let alone an hour without at least one occurrence of both contacts rotat

Contacts for astigmatism that can automatically adjust orientation through an active (powered) mechanism would be game changing for the afflicted. Current passive orientating contacts for astigmatism are severely limited.

I agree outside of software development. However, the only constant in our industry is change and that change demands continuous reinvestment. The only other way to grow is to focus on complementary skills with longer relevancy and that tak
