Small correction: It's Mark Rober, not Roper

Sounds more like a combination of pitch and yaw: "I trimmed the aircraft to fly in a kind of sidelong skid: nose high and with the tail swung around slightly to the right"

Oh no, now the vacuum of space is leaking into the base of a mountain!

I think a solar sail mostly works at a broad reach or a run, so it would be more of a jibe than a tack ;)

Why does the WC take so much more prep than other tournaments? Is it because of the format, or just the pressure to win?

Honestly, that's awesome and I'm glad you're having fun with it haha

Do you think that benefit outweighs the wild variance in valuation of most cryptocurrencies? I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm genuinely curious.

Why try your absolute best to not think about it, instead of taking some steps to reduce your animal consumption and actually feel better about it? I get that something like mortality is an intrusive thought that you can do nothing about, b

Airflow uses it for task ordering within a DAG, but that's used in the parsing step that happens before/outside of any actual task execution so it's not really in the source code of tasks at least.

I completely agree, with the exception of wanting easy support for powering from a lipo battery and also charging that battery without disconnecting it. This has led me to use the Adafruit Feather RP2040 lately because it has a builtin lipo

I've always wondered about this too, but kind of landed on something like this: Sure, there might be (and probably is) life out there that falls so far outside our definition of "life" that we would never detect it. If it&#x2

I felt the same way for a while (this is FUN, this isn't work!), but at one point I came back to the game after a few months off, started a new factory, got to something like "automate green circuits", and immediately felt li

There's a "Pokerbots" class/competition at MIT (during January aka Independent Activities Period), along with a robotics competition and a real time strategy video game bot competition. I did both the robotics and poker

Wow, that's a great test of spatial reasoning (or something akin to spatial reasoning). You kind of have to rotate the shape in your brain to figure out which direction to turn from the line's perspective. I've driven with pe

I think it would be neat if you could get bonus points for multiple clicks within the same arc. So like if you click right when the ball enters the arc, and there's sufficient distance left before the end of the arc, you could click ag

Your second version of it makes me think of WallStreetBets' "loss porn", where people are fans of others losing money.

Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series is also rich with detail about sailing in the Age of Sail more generally (with some in-depth details about whaling in many of the books). I've been slowly working my way through them fo

Wow, how are you pulling that off (the freely seeing friends and family part)?

Hmm, I wouldn't say this is nonsense. I can consistently reproduce the issue by charging on the left side (making the computer completely unusable), and then switching to the right side and having it run perfectly fine. Since I started

I think "100 billion business" means that the business (Shopify) is valued at $100 billion. (I'm not sure if that's true, that's just how I interpreted it)

There's that word again. "Heavy." Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?

That would only give you one-directional communication, while the hilltop-to-hilltop systems described in the article would work both ways.

Well said, and I just want to add some detail about how square-rigged ships are able to sail close-hauled: They typically (or maybe always?) have "staysails", which run fore-and-aft between the masts, which works mostly like the m

Calling AirPods “those air pods”, but also having something as “young” as “big_chungus” as your username... I’m having a hard time figuring out your age!

The weird part of this sentence is that "...will be the first to..." has an implied "arrive at" or "develop" after it -- so it could be read as "Helion Energy is breaking the fusion barrier and will be the

I was actually wondering recently if there has ever been a huge spike in, say, a new species of algae or something, that caused a large change in the atmosphere. I know that what we're doing as a species isn't "natural",

Haha no problem, you're not an idiot! You still explained why this is relevant to pilots, which is helpful to know.

"Upwind" means "into the wind", right? This seems to be written correctly to me.

I wish I had known this advice about serratus anterior a year ago! I started lifting again about a year ago for the first time since I was a teenager, and started getting some shoulder pain after a few months. Strengthening my serratus ante

Just copying and pasting this link from a sibling comment to yours to point out that oatmeal, nuts, and beans are generally good enough to cover the amino acids that are otherwise hard to get from a vegan diet https://vegfaqs.com
