I was at a beachhouse north of Boston and I thought someone fell out of bed or dropped something really heavy upstairs. It was loud and the whole house shook. All of us were scouring the internet for like an hour, finding absolutely nothing

These look fantastic. If there's one thing I'd really like to automate with AI instead of hand coding, though, it would be making charts!

I sketched something in the first sky and then our started putting up blobs with a single word like "sun" and "banana." I have no idea what's going on.

The value of RTK is partially that they are stationary and can average out noise over time to get an accurate position estimate, but mostly that they're sending you their live signal measurements so you can cancel out biases common to

The almanac is not needed. The ephemeris is basically just almanac orbital data plus extra terms to make it accurate enough for meter-level positioning or better. I'm not sure what you mean by saying the orbital parameters change over

You can take an amplitude-vs-time representation of a signal and via a Fourier Transform instead represent the same information as a sum of weighted complex exponentials in the frequency domain. It works mathematically, sure- but does that

One is a human, the other is some AI hoovering up everything I say an adding it to their database which can be used in every other instance of Teams in the world. I'd say that's a meaningful difference.

I was making an America Goulash recipe once, and thought I'd give the beyond burger or whatever a try; it wasn't patties but was jut a pound of ground "beef." It didn't brown or cook up correctly; it smelled awful a

In many ways, sites/tools like sourceforge and github made it much easier to publish and obtain open source software, leading to much more software being created and shared. I'm suggesting that "too much content" isn&#x2

So glad that half my company's internal stuff falls apart when some external service goes down... I couldn't even submit tickets to my company's helpdesk about the other networking issues I was having. What a joke.

I've heard people break the design/implement/test phases down to essentially equal parts in terms of cost. It's not a small task if you think about a government agency's testing capabilities potentially needing to b

This isn't even really a GPS thing, it's UTC time that bounces around because it wants to stay synchronized to the day/night cycle. GPS time is continuous.

Which is not a small amount- around 140 of your standard 15A home circuits in the US with 120V service. And this is listening, not a transmitter.

Or upload an encrypted version of the file or just a hash of the figure ahead of time? Then release the descrypt key later or when the figure is published, you can point to the hash which was uploaded publicly a long time ago?

It sounds strange when my colleagues refer to a class in Python having an a-TRIB-ute rather than an ATT-tri-bute. I'm familiar with the verb form stressing the middle syllable and the noun form stressing the first.
