Casual sentences and mathematics/logic don't go very well together, and lead to ambiguities and interpretation if there are no clear rules defined beforehand. This reminds me of those silly problems that circulate on TikTok with a

Lisp is like the Latin of programming languages. Powerful, archaic, well-thought, elegant, venerable.

I find it strange that people here are fixated with the solving software part. What's really cool to me in the project is the mechanical solution; fitting all the motors, axles, MCU, sensors and battery inside a customized cube.

Why don't we see the Moon's shadow projected over the Earth in the pic? I guess it has to do with the relative distances of the 2 bodies to the Sun and the Moon's penumbra or something. Can someone make a digital image simula

The BSC has several interfaces. One of them is the APG, used for Operation & Maintenance. It's a Windows module, accessible by IP. The APG serves as a gateway to the node's core via MML (Man-Machine Language), the instructions

As a spaniard myself, I can confirm this is an accurate description of what siesta looks like on most cases. Short nap on the couch after a coffee, for those who take lunch at home, or just on the weekends otherwise.

Join a meetup.com group of movie lovers (or whatever you enjoy, but avoid too-geeky groups). Slowly get to know people attending the meetups. Just be nice. Don't be afraid to politely express your opinions. When you see someone that se

I wonder, what should we do as individuals? Shall we refuse to take prescribed antibiotics for "minor" things, and let the body heal itself at the cost of some extra discomfort? Would that make any difference in the long run? Does

At the telecom company I work for, this is called 'System Integration'. It takes most of our time.

In Madrid (Spain), an engineer with 10 years of experience in a technical role can expect an average of 55k€ per year, before a 25% tax cut. Similar (or a bit lower) for a programmer. I won't call it a crappy salary. You can make a pretty d

I've worked in Dubai. I found the article pretty accurate. So much, that I was surprised to read on it the same analogies I've been doing myself to describe the country to my friends (an adult Disneyland, a soul-less country, a spoiled gene

I strongly suspect this is not due to an outage in the network, but rather intentional. Some years ago I worked on a project for a Japanese mobile operator to implement a system that prevents "normal" mobile phones from making calls to avoi

I picked the seconds on my digital wrist watch, modulo 3, as a 'random' choice. 16-16-20. Far better than when I made the choice myself.

I suspect we commonly underestimate blind people mental capacities. One can argue that 'seeing' goes beyond the perception of lights and colors. It's also about shape, so I guess a blind person can perfectly 'visualize' a rectangle, a cube,

That's what I hoped to see when I clicked in the link; an explanation of the collision model when the bird hits the blocks. The initial parabolic flight is just basic physics.
