I'd be interested to hear about the experiences of someone who has gone through that Berkeley program or a similar one.

I saw it the other day. Its home is MoMA, but it is currently on loan at the Met through August 27th. I just went the other day, and it was definitely worth seeing. https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/van-gogh-cypress

88.1-91.9 MHz is reserved for noncommercial educational (NCE) stations, so only they can use those frequencies. However, there's nothing that disallows NCE stations from operating on unrestricted frequencies (so long as they are licens

Even a SawStop won't prevent kickback, which is the most common type of table saw injury. However, it will prevent you from losing fingers, which was enough to convince me to buy one.

I love this! I was expecting something more like Mark Rober's movign dartboard [0], which is super cool, but this is even more interesting, because of the way you used software to come up with a general solution in advance. Kudos!

Yep, small cars can do more than you give 'em credit for. I considered getting a truck for some time, but ended up buying a 5x8 utility trailer. Sure, it's a little less convenient (and more bouncy) than a truck, and my 2009 Chevy

I'm glad to see the MIDI spec is available for download! It was my understanding that the only way to get the specification for MIDI 1.0 was to buy a hard copy of the spec, and that sales of the book were the only way the MIDI associat

Existing satellite ISPs have their satellites stationed in geosynchronous orbit, which is like 35,000 km above sea level. This allows them to send up fewer satellites, since they have a line of sight to more of the Earth's surface. How

I was about to comment on how this is because July and August were added in honor of Julius and Augustus Caesar, but it turns out they were renamed from Quintilis and Sextilis (which would also be misnumbered). It was really January and Feb
