It would be interesting to get a breakdown of what goes into something like the MQ-9, given they were introduced back in 2007 I wonder how difficult it would be to spin up a replacement using more COTS tech to lower the price and lead time

Nifty little low poly 3d modeling software that I didn't even realised released a v2. It's fun for hobbiests and artists (nothing close to blender).

Unfortunately the share button doesn't seem to save the state fully, the sensor selection/bookmarking doesn't carry through. Cool app though, have it on a large screen at our work to visualise the constellations we work with

Would you consider using cache storage for enabling offline capabilities? Maybe I am in the minority but I usually go to organic maps for offline usage.

This is my regular hiking and cycling map, fantastic for offline use as well! Edit: didn’t know about the ads / proprietary server issues. I guess this is the only sort of place to find out unless users are browsing the GitHub repo.

I got a Sovol Sv07+ and it’s decently fast, large build space, and can crank out miniatures that are ‘good enough’ for table top. Wish the resin printers didn’t have the toxic fumes problem though, then I’d get one of them too.

QGIS for ArcMap/ArcGIS Geoserver for their REST based servers (ArcGIS Enterprise). GRASS and GDAL do the leg work of much processing found in the spatial toolboxes and such. However those tools do not have the polish that ESRI kit does

Those shaped charges weren’t envisioned coming from directly above, especially precisely dropped on the engine or on hatches, hence the drones are hitting spots with little to no armour compared to the front and sides.

Usually shrapnel, working out the depth at which it exploded, the nature of the explosion (recorded on video), and historical evidence of bombing. There is a buch of forensic methods around this.

This is a great initiative from Ross, fingers crossed it picks up momentum.

To be devils advocate here we also have to promote healthy eating, getting screened for cancer, or smoking PSAs. Just because something might be classified as "superior" doesn't mean that it will always self promote or be acc

That's not exactly how it works. The satellite operator will be taking paid orders to scan over specific areas of the earth, about 4km in width or so. So you have to have a pretty good idea where the carrier is, and then you get an ima

likewise, learning to sail as a kid and having to go around these large partially submerged objects just kicked off some irrational fear in me (and stil does today, though to a lesser degree).

I think there is some cost associated with iPhone app development ($100-$300 plus submission costs), as opposed to android, when it comes to publishing, it seems fair enough for an individual to charge a dollar or two to recoup that.

I stumbled across this and thought it would be an interesting thing to share. The tool is web-based (electron too) and can generate entire continents that also zooms down to the dungeon level. Ontop of this it has generated encounters and s
