It's absolutely routine for hobby and artisan turners and carvers, though. In between the first turn and the second turn, you can air dry, kiln dry, and other techniques. With air drying, you actually want to slow the drying so that it

Where I work, three different people had exactly the same reaction to this news when I showed them: "Uh-oh." The IBM acquisition of RedHat initiated a series of changes that wound up taking us out of RedHat. I think we expect the

With equal evidence, one might say that you didn't even spend one minute thinking about how such a scheme would necessarily be implemented before going "wooha, awesome!" The idle compute power of millions of Tesla idle vehicl

Sorry, that was a joke. The Snark is described in detail, with but a single additional caution that some Snarks are Boojums, with no description whatsoever of the difference. And, in the end, only a Boojum is found. The band of snark-hunter

Email search is poor. It's not important enough to me to switch, but it's almost surprising when a search returns the emails I'm looking for. Calendar is too separate from email, especially in the apps. I can't accept in

Can someone just ask Foone or lcamtuf to help them get it running off an internet-connected toothbrush or something? It seems like there are so many people doing complex reverse-engineering of ancient stuff _just for kicks_ that this floppy

They have hundreds of patents, though. One key patent - which IIRC is on the verge of expiration - does not mean that it's possible to build a saw that doesn't infringe one or more of the others.

I have two theories here, and I don't know which I believe more. It's probably a combination of both: 1) Tesla executed a remarkable 0->1 strategy, working from the Roadster (high-end luxury price, low volume) to the S (high-en

It's problematic as heck for a regulation to require a feature that's comprehensively patented by a single vendor, even when it's as important an innovation as the SawStop blade brake. Other SawStop thoughts: - Beyond the ins

The point is not just to have universally unique identifiers, but to collect common metadata that's associated with the identifiers. Like this: https://www.bowker.com/siteassets/files/pdf-files/datasubmis
