Yeah, it assumes a good deal of prior knowledge about violins.

I manage to keep my main side project (~20,000 lines of code) in my head despite not meeting conditions #1 (I'm always distracted), #2 (I work in my free time at home), and #3 (C++, woo) because I have extensive documentation about the

There is a Let's Split kit with Kailh Choc low profile keys. It's not chiclet, but it's short travel.

From your link: >But the battery only functions properly at temperatures above room temperature and up to 150°C It doesn't have to be over 150 Celsius, it has to be over room temperature.

Have you tried PhotoFlow? It's a newer open source photo editor (though not pixel editor) that allows you to compose your own non-destructive processing pipeline from individual operations.

Max Q occurs at roughly 40,000 feet for ground launched rockets. If you start at 40,000 feet, you can accelerate largely sideways and reduce gravity losses without running into the atmosphere too hard and needing a stronger structure.

There was a video going around a while back where a Model S floated through a puddle without the wheels touching the ground.

You could get a terminal Model M or Model F, the 122 key kind.

Phoronix had it compiling the Linux kernel in 32 seconds, compared to 37.5 for the 7980XE.

If you check Phoronix, they found it doesn't actually take much more power than the 7980XE.

The goal is to maintain DOF and field of view; if you crop to the same field of view, and the entrance pupils are the same size, then you have the same DOF. 100mm at f/32 is the same as 50mm at f/8 only if you don't crop 50mm

by CarVac 8y ago
I just tested 100mm at f/32 against 50mm at f/16, which have the same entrance pupil size, and when cropped to the same part of the subject, the longer focal length simply wipes the floor with the shorter focal length. https:&#x2

by CarVac 8y ago
If you zoom out and crop, you still lose the same angular resolution to diffraction as if you had just stopped down at the longer focal length. Object space lens resolution is diffraction limited by the size of the entrance pupil, in exact

This mixes up front and back light. Otherwise it's very comprehensive. Generally I just go by feel when composing, but these guidelines do match my photographic instincts.

The Prius is still more efficient on the highway than other cars because nobody (at least in the US) would buy a similar-sized car with a 1.3L engine and no hybrid system to boost power.

Toyota's style of hybrid is far less mechanically complicated than an automatic transmission.

In the fansubbing world, footnotes are kinda reviled, such as the infamous Death Note "Just as keikaku. (Keikaku means plan)" translation. But for things that make cultural references, like Gintama, even someone who knows the lang

That indeed is one of the hardest things, I find. Japanese writing is especially fond of intentional ambiguity, and it's really hard to decide how much to localize away. Keep the ambiguity and it sounds unnatural, but if you want it to

by CarVac 8y ago
As someone who does fan translation of Japanese stuff, I've come to the conclusion that all non trivial translations are inadequate. Even my own. There's so much nuance and implied connotation that simply cannot be expressed acros

I drive a 2004 Prius and my friend recently bought a 2000 Insight. The Insight is pretty much strictly a commuter car: it's laughably tiny, like a roadster without any power. But it's really fun, and gets outrageously good fuel ec

Laying your hands flat is just asking for making your wrists hurt in the long term, no matter what board you do it on.

Kailh low profile switches are getting decently popular, and they even offer clicky ones. They're not MX mount compatible though. Cherry also has new low profile MX mount switches too. But all of these sacrifice travel.

This page shows mostly full-custom keyboards, which you have to compile the firmware for yourself. Naturally, that affords ample customization.

There's a reason it's like that: the right side has arrow keys, so I made them all G20. The left side has page up/page down so I made them both SA R3.

It uses Kailh Choc low profile switches, and you can build your own board using them if you want, in any layout you want ranging from bog-standard to off-the-wall crazy.

by CarVac 8y ago
Build your layout with keyboard-layout-editor, paste the raw data into builder.swillkb.com, order plates from Lasergist or export files for a different service, buy switches of your choice (I recommend Kailh Box switches), hand wire them up

I was referring to the use for GTO-GSO orbit raising, where it's less mass efficient than both hydrazine and ion engine propulsion. But the Isp might be so low only because of scaling issues on a device that has to fit in a microsatell
