This sounds interesting and useful. How do you set something like this up? Are there good tutorials to follow?

I think it's one thing to do this for yourself or subject others to it in a somewhat mild form (e.g. have them listen to bad karaoke) but "2. The Impossible Day Project" goes too far for me. If I was one of those people who a

The only time our 2025 Kia warned me about being distracted was about 30 minutes into a highway drive in Europe during heavy snowfall. The roads were covered in snow, people were generally cautious but traffic was still flowing and I was ch

This sounds really neat. Is it a commercial product or did you build them yourself?

The only Morse code message I know is SOS which is ...---... and I imagine it's reasonably easy to understand when being tapped in an emergency situation. It would tell rescuers that someone is still alive and to continue their search.

The article goes to great lengths to describe the difficulties in manufacturing and assembling the mechanism in the band itself but then also mentions that there a large ecosystem of third-party bands available. How do all those get made? D

I'm in the same boat. What kept me from replacing the battery is that the device is EOL and won't receive any software updates, including security fixes. Did you also change the firmware?

I think I understand how signing keys removes the need to update every server when adding a user to the system, but it seems like that comes at the price of having to update them all when someone leaves to revoke their certificates. What is

The Reaction Control System (RCS) [1] uses hypergolic fuels [2] which are highly toxic. Such fuels are desirable in this application because they combust whenever the fuel and oxidizer are brought in contact. There's no need to an igni

From the headline I assumed that technicians were literally able to smell whether a chip is new, possibly by it releasing gases shortly after production. It reminded me of the distinct smell of new hard drives when you open the factory seal

I tried "curl ipdata.co" and got a 301 page. It'd be great to get the same json back that's shown on the webpage.

I found the title of this post to be misleading or at least stressing its point. The article says "Some Internet Archive employees have elected to receive some of their pay in Bitcoin in April." so it's not all employees, not all of their p

I could memorize it from the moment I realized that it works exactly like 'cp', i.e. cp <orig> <copy> Hence I think of it as ln <orig> <link> (edit: formatting)

Couldn't someone at Google provide a dump of the wiki. Assuming that they have it in their page cache they might be willing to help, given they seem to be one of the largest organizations using Python.

I really like the idea, but I'd do even more so if I could install a cronjob to automatically download a file with all aliases I previously added to my online profile. Of course this comes with security implications you'd have to sort out.

I think in each round the king plays the 2 coin flip for each of the selected candidates, one after the other, with the game ending as soon as the first contestant wins. This will result in 4 coin tosses for the seconds round, 8 in the thir

Also, there is Playterm [1], which does the same thing for shell recordings made with the 'script' command. 'script' and the player 'scriptreplay' are shipping with most modern distributions, e.g. they come in the package bsdutils on Ubuntu
