I love the note regarding the rearview mirror being an actual, you know, mirror. A friend was teasing me the other day for using my mirrors while I backed up, ignoring the various screens and camera feeds dotting the dash. I reminded him th

That’s great, unfortunately it is quite rare for CS undergrad programs in the US to require the basic engineering and science classes the other engineering/science majors require.

It is funny, almost as funny as an entire cadre of people with “engineer” in their title who've never had to draw a free body diagram, learn circuit analysis, understand the basics of thermodynamics, or the mechanics of materials.

It’s crude, but you can overcome the degraded quality imparted by gpu accelerated encoding by specifying a higher video bitrate. Find a complex short scene in your cpu encoded video, extract it, ffprobe it to get average video bitrate, and

AnandTech was one of the websites that helped me as a child. I found it around 2002, and the clear-headed manner in which it discussed chip fabrication, function, lithography and the associated engineering and scientific foundations of them

I use Tree Style Tabs, yeah. This is how I like it configured, nice and tight: https://i.imgur.com/fWonbjC.png To get it that way takes a bit of code in the advanced options, and tinkering with a user definition file in FF

On desktop, FF supports the best vertical nested tab tree I have seen. What I’ve seen on chrome is laughably amateurish with huge chunks of wasted space due to unmodifiable(?) padding elements

You shouldn’t approach it from such a detached, cynical angle. The import is as if the OSI embedded senior agents in the postal system during the labor unrest in the US during the 1910s-20s, and the FBI in Ma Bell during the second red scar

Exciting times! Any physicist here aware of how these two papers would impact the applicability or validity of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND)? background: my lay understanding of MOND is that it modifies the gravitational interaction pa

this article reads like it was written by a LLM "Anyway, we all already know this because we all experience human life in 2023."

there it is! enough arm-chair theorizing by computer "scientists", an actual material scientists! or condensed matter physicist, or crystallographic expert, or inorganic chemist...

It sounds like your suggestion came about by mis-reading the parent comment, but I will offer my 2 cents: yandex.com's english results for hard to find, technical terms are infinitely better than google's. as someone who remembers

Hah, I'm not anti-stew. It's a conception you run into a lot, that healthy vegetarian food is a brown stew of chickpeas. I threw that in there for the skeptical.

no, they are not "terrible", they're not complex proteins - excepting eggs. you have to mix two sources of simple protein to equal complex. good, bad; whatever your characterization of them may be, that's the foundation.

Seeing this response so high up makes me a bit sad. There's a lot of ways to eat vegetarian, and all the ones that I can think of that require supplementing protein and vitamins are unhealthy. It should be obvious that eating a way t

As others have pointed out, the choice of the age range has a significant impact on the conclusions one is able to draw. In particular, this paper defines "Children and Adolescents" as 1 to 19 years old, which captures a lot of fi

Interesting. I cynically view this (brushed motors with reduced lifetime as compared to brushless, sold as a benefit b/c free of rare earth) as just another self-serving decision automakers can make in the push to reduce the usable lif

Centrifuges are used for separation. An ultra is usually used for separating nominally-stable colloids (such as fine nanoparticle colloids), and miscible liquids where such high centrifugal force causes them to density separate.
