It's getting harder and harder to tell these days when El Reg is being serious. I think this is a case when that is so, but I'm not sure...

Perhaps this approach should be known as "The Method of MOOments"?

Agreed! Also, I just found this (total hack, but cool)! [1] [1] https://github.com/nsuan/TelescopeFilter

Yes indeed! Spain, next year! (And Australia, the year after that! ;-) ) I'm also wondering about the feasibility of taking these gizmos on airplanes, what with the Lithium battery packs, etc. What we really need (for some definition

I'm interested in your eclipse experience. I tried capturing totality with a seestar S50 back in the 2024 eclipse. What I found is that at the very moment of totality, I had not removed the solar filter fast enough, and the bloody thin

On a related note, there is a reasonably well known commentary on an adjacent technology by Ruth Schwartz Cowan (1985) titled "How The Refrigerator Got Its Hum". It describes a 1930s market battle between heat-driven ad/absor

It's not exactly straight out of one of the labs -- it's heavily quantized -- but have a look at [1]. [1] https://github.com/antirez/ds4

Testing: The union of a lot of necessary conditions is not a sufficient condition. But it might be good enough for software.

I'm curious too! One obvious thing is that the memory requirements for this are substantially smaller than DwarfStar-- which AFAIK can only start to be used at 64GB ram and upwards. Another obvious thing is that antirez is pretty obses

District heating is a mature technology. Direct Use geothermal heat is the one I am personally most familiar with -- as a geophysicist. However "waste" heat utilization is a definite thing for people with mechanical engineering&#x

True. Chena Hot Springs [1]. They are famous in the "direct use" geothermal community. A lot of the thermal energy is not used for electrical generation. Although a small portion actually is -- made possible by the \Delta T reject

I know this is off-topic, and likely to get me down-voted, but hey! I'll live dangerously for the sake of repeating a hilarious (to me) .sig in a now ancient Usenet post. These //go.* commands always remind me of this: "

What is the delivery mechanism for the MOF. The chemistry sounds promising (to this amateur, at least) but how does it get to and enter cancer cells?

Geophysicist here. Look up potential fields methods in geophysics. Such things have been measured and mapped for quite some time. The grandfather of all modern gravimeters was invented in 1936 by LaCoste and Romberg.
