Related and recommended: Greg Egan “Phoresis” a sci-fi novel of two twin planets in extreme proximity to each other. (I think I read it in one of his anthologies.)

I’m in a 3 year mechatronics program, and we covered 555, LM741, and similar ICs in our 2nd semester PLC/digital/electronics class. No microcontrollers until year 2. I don’t feel I conceptualized it very well, but it gave me a goo

It’s absolutely one of my favourite books too. His style of humour was a perfect dichotomy of reverent/irreverent that made him the perfect author for a book like this. Beautiful appreciation of the world meets shake-you-awake, perspec

What syntax are you trying to use or thinking that you need? In Obsidian for example, remove all plugins except Daily Note and just start typing. Ignore all syntax except maybe bullets. Ignore properties and links. Ignore any habit-tracking

There's a pretty cool word you can spell with your calculator: They are typically and roughly hemispherical in shape, and come in different sizes. Although they can gradually droop over time due to gravity and other factors. They can h

Try shifting it down: Another thing that can happen in 3 dimensional space but not 2 is that you can have two infinitely long rectangles which only intersect as a line at the origin (and nowhere else.) In 2 dimensions you'd get at leas

Since the time of that thread, the dev team has grown, and WhiteNoise has joined the team officially in charge of bugs. I don't know the full systems they use in the background. But I think I can definitely see where some of the burden

Those are all good points. But to be clear for point #1, the devs never responded to this feature request. What you see in that thread is a couple of the community moderators (myself included, and all of my replies are tempered with "a

I suppose it is emulating the original. But yes, same experience here. I made the mistake multiple times.

I also grew to associate scanlines with sci-fi, which I love. I remember loving the original Ubuntu boot splash logo which had the line effect. And then was disappointed when it was changed to smooth and crisp.

I’ve seen Greg Egan mentioned a couple times. I love most of what I’ve read by him, but “The Clockwork Rocket” trilogy stands far above for me. A multi-generational hard sci-fi story. Characters who are intelligent, curious researchers who

The drag introduced by the bucket would help align your boat as a makeshift drogue. If you can find a way to rig it up so you can adjust the angle from port to starboard, you could very roughly steer.

“Badass: Making Users Awesome” by Kathy Sierra. I don’t see it often in lists like these. But it’s an awesome and approachable book for framing your products, services, user journey, and marketing from the viewpoint of how they’ll make your

This might be an old issue, but try turning of the hard drive space indicator in iStats Menu. It was a major drain for me a couple years ago. After a restart, energy use went way down.

It’s difficult to tell from the photo, but I suspect this developer still had enough privilege to elect a more free-range lifestyle.

Agreed. I use a few filters which take seconds to update, sometimes disappearing and then redrawing on any change in the tables. And recently some of my filters and views have been changing, leading me to have to tweak and adjust some of my

I don’t have this device, but reading the manual there is no mention of any off-switch or off procedure. There is only syncing, charging, programming back buttons, adjusting the lights, changing light modes. And as for the lights, there are

I’m curious how much plasticity the neurons in the gut may have to be able to pick up the slack, particularly in cases such as the Peter Watts link.

I took the lift at a too-early level and encountered no such obstacle. I wandered around a large part of that area and fought no bosses.

In “Time & The Art of Living”, Robert Grudin structured his chapters and verses after this calendar. In the last (or so) chapter he explicitly discusses decimal time, and the beauty of being able to calculate and reason about the calend

Just to point out that this isn't ready as a consumer device quite yet. This is from down the page: > We’re seeing a lot of excitement and “shut up and take my money, I’ll throw out my other e-ink devices tomorrow!” responses to th

Quite a few answers took the “how to draw” question literally, but this is an incredible series of book when it comes to distilling and communicating information and concepts. It’s a book that goes far beyond drawing, and improves thinking

This sounds similar to exercises in the book "Play it Away" by Charlie Hoehn; a book on recovering from burnout via play. In that book you look back and create a "play history" to find common elements for your recovery a

That's great, I was using a Wacom tablet, and assumed that was the issue. This will help a lot, thank you.
