My Dad and I used to drive down there when I was a kid. We would call ahead to make sure they would be open and Ed would write a welcome message for us on the whiteboard. Put my first decent vacuum systems together with parts from there tha

Until now, human dev time has arguably been the bottleneck preventing more use of formal verification methods in software. Making it possible will likely involve completely rearchitecting many components, but that has become more realistic

For general compute they will lose to a laptop, but that isn't supposed to be their purpose. I think the best use cases require extra hardware that would make a laptop too bulky or awkward. For example a deck with a VNA, SDR, scope, an

That's what I'm asking... Why not? I'm alluding to what seems to be a culturally self-imposed refusal to seek legal remedies among makers and hackers. We have Jeff Geerling (who I generally like and agree with) disappointingl

Where is the lawyer involvement? Why has no TRO been filed to prevent Bambu from selling in the US? This is a problem with a legal solution, yet we collectively just wring our hands and wish for a technological solution.

This is exactly the business model of Poor Richards in Colorado Springs. They have a pizzarea, book store, and toy store. It's been around for decades and is a local institution.

There is something about the asymmetry of effort that is particularly galling. If a person couldn't be bothered to write something, then I can't be bothered to read it. If someone contributes a software component, they are respons

Recent updates to Microsoft account sign-in now support passkeys with device biometric authentication, making phishing virtually impossible. So according to Microsoft biometric authentication will make people immune to being tricked. Pre

I have dozens of volunteer red maple trees about shoulder to head height in my yard. I have been trying to find information about training them at this size. Do bonsai methods for Japanese maples work? Can two red maples be joined together

I'm also a Libreoffice user and have been since its inception. It's good software and I recommend it to people. The fact is just that gnumeric is better than calc. Not just in terms of features or feel either. I have personally lo

I think I've tried every spreadsheet program still being maintained at this point. Try gnumeric, it's a clear cut above everything else. Mandatory Excel rant: Excel can't be trusted with data destined for publication. It&#x27

The fact that Edison is pervasively over-credited is really another example of the highly visible executive claiming personal credit for the labors of employees.

By leveraging Genie’s immense world knowledge, it can simulate exceedingly rare events—from a tornado to a casual encounter with an elephant—that are almost impossible to capture at scale in reality. The model’s architecture offers high co

It's not too late for a political solution. If Congress stopped abdicating it's constitutional duty all these problems could be solved quickly. If you're in the US, visit your representatives offices IN PERSON, calling is a d

These people aren't temporarily insane, they have always been this way. The same hatred and stupidity have been prevalent in US dinnertable discussions for decades, but much less in the actual halls of power because we used to have mor

A key property of QCD is that unlike electrodynamics, the forces between interacting objects increase with distance (quark confinement). This is what breaks the usual style of expansions used to simplify problems. It's hard to overstat

If it's the computer of an older family member or something, just put Firefox and ubo on their system for them and be done with it. They will use whatever software is preloaded, and being shown how to use it is a much lower barrier to

Part of the problem is that software engineers aren't real engineers. Engineering disciplines formally recognize their responsibilities to the public, and are expected to refuse to build dangerous or harmful systems. The mechanical eng

It might be more convenient to purchase pre-blended mixes for many applications. For example 90% argon 10% isobutane. In welding this would be "impure" but for ionization counting it's exactly what you want.

Interactions between species are scarcely understood in general, if they are known at all. It's only very recently that the existence of mycelial networks was discovered. It's only very recently that the importance of micro biome

That is still cheaper than the index when it came out, and it sounds like a general improvement in all areas. Flagship vr for less than the cost of the latest smartphone seems pretty reasonable given how low adoption is.

Yep I have this and it's total garbage. The scheduling options feel designed to troll, serious MacBook wheel vibes. No way to temporarily disable the schedule if you're going out of town. Either turn your HVAC off entirely, or del
