   I call those thinkos. They're weird to notice. Why did my brain do that? Do I do it often? No idea.

   Even if everything about remote workspaces were bad for professional developers, they will accept it if that's what companies are offering. Just like they accepted open offices, standup meetings, all-day video calls, agile, etc. And th

   Where do you get 1/4 wall perforated tube? It sounds expensive compared to regular box tube straight from the mill. And each bolted connection made with graded fasteners is going to cost several dollars, which adds up very quickly. A c

   I think the parent's point is that there's a lot of cellular infrastructure that needs power (and connectivity) for cellular communication to work. Point-to-point radio only needs power at either end, and when your radio runs on 1

   Speaking of good relay datasheets, some will also show contact resistance vs current. I recall one which noted that for small signals the resistance was very low, but if higher current was applied, the contact coating would burn off and the

   I remember seeing my friend’s Isuzu Trooper 4x4 in a parking lot next to a “Mini” that dwarfed it. I don’t hate minis, but that moment made me realize what a silly brand they are.

   It varies by state. Limiting them to roads with speeds <50 or so is somewhat common.

   I think it’s possible to load 4x8 sheets by flipping the gate halfway down and putting 2x4s across the bed using the pockets in the sides. Good enough of you need the capability for an occasional project.

    I remain unconvinced. You didn't actually provide any examples of the Exxon article being edited nefariously. And the reason the BP article is better is because their PR people gave up? Nah. They're both awful companies doing terr

    That paragraph calls it "one of the worst oil spills in American history," and links to an entire article about it. What underhanded editing do you think has happened here?

    It's a nice round metric measurement. 508 dots per inch = 20 dots per mm.

    I'm envious of people who can work with freely available standards. In my industry (machine design, industrial automation), almost all of the standards cost money. UL, CSA, NSF, ANSI, ASME, BSi, IEC, ISO, DIN, etc. Our library contains

    FWIW I signed up for CR recently when I was car shopping, and I canceled my subscription within the first month. They assured me that I would still have access for the remainder of the period. Of course, you're forced to subscribe rath

    Hah! I recently bought a brand new truck, and while I haven't been quite that bad about it, I did find it painful to put scratches into the pristine paint. A week or so ago I had to hide my pain as my friends helped me load a pair of

    I can just imagine going to that HOA meeting: Here's the plan for the reactor installation. Does it look good to everyone? Yes. Okay, next item: What color shall we paint the bike shed?

    Same here. I like using twitter, it connects me with a lot of amazing people in my various hobby communities. Retro computers, cars, ham radio... It's fun to be able to talk to folks I hear / hear about in podcasts, blogs, and you

    That covers all of the amateur HF bands, so you'll have lots of signals of known types that you can try to decode.

    Do physical units exist yet? Where is the manufacturing done? It looks expensive to manufacture in small quantities. I do like the idea, but I'm afraid that this will become e-waste if Framework doesn't exist, grow, and succeed fo

    That really isn't systemd's fault. Software needs to manage the efi variables, so systemd mounts efivarfs writable.

    alternativeto.net has a better database and a better interface, imo. You search for the software you want an alternative to, then choose your platform and license, and get a list of alternatives sorted by popularity. For instance, look up A
