I'm stuck enough in the gecosystem that the storage is of small worry there but good point. It's a cute idea for the main topic - I saw some pictures I'd forgotten about for 20 years so that was fun.

Here's a gmail extractor google apps script that does the same thing, but for not $30! function autoExtractGmailMedia() { const START_TIME = Date.now(); const TIME_LIMIT = 1000 * 60 * 5; // 5 minutes (leaves a 1-minute sa

Sounds like plotjuggler ( https://github.com/facontidavide/PlotJuggler ) could be worth checking into as well for you.

Bricscad (www.bricsys.com) is a professional (paid) cad package that has most of what you're looking for. They're old-school perpetual license folks and they have a fully featured demo so you can try out the various scripting&#x2

If you're ever in Edinburgh, this is an excellent place to visit and spend an afternoon. One of the funniest parts was upon walking in the door, the gentleman who greeted me asked "What kind of engineer are you?" Very worthw

Awesome - getting KMZs of 4x4 routes is way harder than it should be. All the Colorado data is there but extracting it is challenging.

Cool site! Any chance of a adding a simple KMZ export for offline use for a given area of interest?

It's getting much tougher to pull this off - I recently had an offer for a cherry government job but it was in southern California. The salary, while competitive for most locations, would've required me to be independently wealth

Is this for software engineers or actual engineers? You may want to specify.

They certainly haven't made this mistake in any late-model F-x50 Super Duties. The amount that has to be unplugged and shuffled to do even minor work is amazing, not to mention the entire front end has to be disassembled to replace th

Talk to Bill Stone about that - he's been one of the preeminent cave explorers and they've been working towards exactly that: https://stoneaerospace.com/ - look at Prometheus and Archimedes in particular.

I actually just drove by that last week - there's a fun plaque out front but as of today it's very junky up there (seems adjacent property owner is allowing their yard to become junkyardish). It was a cool little slice of history

Depends where -just found a paper showing 54% of school children tested by sample (not seeking medical attention) in at least one area of Lagos. Probably lower in adults but it's not a sub-1% number or even close to it. So were the r

Trial group of 62 patients and no parasite screening in those patients - yawn. But could be interesting grounds for a more significant and controlled study with patients with comorbidities.

The class action lawsuits out of this are going to be amazing to watch. Once the announcement was made, how many sales were done in response, which has now blown everything even further into unknown territory?

Neutron radiation leads to embrittlement in many materials, so the long term effects will have to be considered in addition to short term corrosion rate improvements.

Keep in mind the IMPACT report is the cost, not the amount spent on fixes. It's still pretty significant though. There's some internal discussion on updating the report but the arguments over spend vs cost are raging.

Many times software engineers fall under the 'industrial exemption' for most states' professional practices acts. That's how many folks without a PE are able to be engineers - as long as they're not selling enginee

This actually ends up increasing your likelihood of failure, as smaller parallel lines mean higher operational costs for smart pigs and other integrity assessment tools making internal issues harder to detect before failure, and increased r

With proper monitoring and a well maintained internal corrosion control and external threat control systems you can stretch out the timeline for non "acts of god" (ie natural disasters, terrorist attacks, etc) to greater than the

On the contrary, you can eliminate pipe leaks easily - just many areas have fairly lax integrity management requirements for operators, and those that don't only apply to new lines - very rarely does legislation cover preexisting pipel

Thus reprocessing - if Hanford's government contractors could get over the hump and get the vitrification plant online, it'd be a lot easier to clean up the waste that's interred in the solid dump and tank farms. And if we d

It's like the US doesn't already have a number of remote areas like Hanford, Oak Ridge, Idaho Falls, the Savannah River Site, Rocky Flats, etc. that are already set up (and somewhat contaminated already) for handling this sort of

I'd almost argue that we need to find a new word for it but at this point there's not much to it. I've had the discussion a few times about how Big Bang Theory is basically a minstrel show about smart people instead of your c

They are young adult fiction, which is like saying that cars weren't built for driving. I'm not sure what you intend they were written as then, as they surely aren't literature.

It's a shame - in 2008/9/10 it was really something to see, but as a few other commenters have said, it's (and a lot of the maker movement for that matter) have declined a bit. I personally think this is due to the infan
