I we had the same here in the Netherlands. Never helped me one bit. I even had to go to after-school handwriting coaching. My handwriting is still horrible. I think my main problem is that handwriting is so slow. I get impatient and rush it

They have become popular in the last few years. They are smaller, lighter and thus more portable than traditional mounts. They also don’t need to be balanced with a counter-weight (although they usually allow for a counter weight to increas

Cool project. Strain wave mounts are fantastic. Just ordered a wave 150i myself. Can’t wait to not having to waste time balancing my scope anymore.

I'd say it's way more obvious than using a 3rd party email service. And that's another thing: if you use a 3rd party e-mail service then you have to trust a 3rd party not to abuse that. If they have control of that email addr

You can throw away a passkey just as well as you can throw away an email address.

But so can the email address.

No, it’s not based on anything. A QC charger will output 5v by default and only increase the voltage after a negotiation. This is exactly as described: a USB-A style charger brick only it outputs 12v instead of 5v, no negotiation, nothing

It’s not about the maintenance cost, it’s about continuity of service. If you scrape a website things may break at any time. If you use a proper API and have a contract with the supplier you will have the opportunity to make any changes bef

It’s a cute idea, but ultimately not very useful. An API is more than just an endpoint that gives easy to parse results. The most important part is that an API is a contract. An API implies that things won’t suddenly break without prior ann

Particles are indistinguishable, this means that the specific particles that make up a physical object (like a human) are not important, you could replace all of them with different particles, ship of Theseus style, and it would be the same

It’s been a while since I set it up. I use dnsmasq as my DHCP server and if I recall correctly it includes everything needed to set this up.

I have a bunch of network-bootable installers set up on my DHCP server. If I want to install a new machine I simply set it to boot from the network. From there I can just select whichever distro I want. I also added some utils like Memtest8

Is that a single exposure? How did you prevent the foreground from blowing out on that, were you in a super dark location? Unfortunately I'm in a Bortle 5 to 6 area so I'd need quite a bit of integration time to get a decent SnR.

Amateur astrophotographers, like myself, also often use the HSO palette. The nice thing about deep space objects is that they don't change at a rate that there is any visible difference over timespans relevant to humans. This means tha

I'll wait for the re-release regardless. No need to jump through any hoops to get it on my Kindle plus the author gets paid for their work. Plus, I imagine it'll benefit from the work of an editor.

Not really. It's just an API key + the user agent. There is no mechanism to detect the browser hasn't been tampered with. If you wanted to do that you'd at least include a hash over the browser binary, or better yet the in-me
