I had trouble with that, always going back to the "SohCahToa" mnemonic. Nowadays, I always use the unit circle. Cos is abs[cissa] (horizontal), Sin is ordinate (vertical). Rotate the unit circle (or your drawing) to align as neede

Yes, I've used this in the past, though it can take a while for maps to be generated from their website, and the API is rate-limited. It's quite impressive overall, though it could use some help, especially as buildings are quite

One of the elecrodes of the battery (-) is generally connected to the metal body. You only need a cable touching your ring while your hand rests on the frame to cause a short, which can happen. Or a loose cable touching the car frame. It&#x

Lead-acid batteries cannot sustain high amps for a long time, so they are less dangerous in that regard. I should also point out that electric drivetrains can be in excess of 400-800V to reduce amperage. Any well-designed battery pack shoul

IIRC (I could be wrong on this one) protobuf isn't really a specification, it's a single implementation, and is quite hard to reimplement. Here's a short comparison of serializing formats: https://drewdevault.com&#

FWIW, the regular (or rather, lite) duckduckgo runs nicely in a TUI browser like elinks. THat's my search engine of choice when text-browsing.

If that's the case though, why not keep DNS for now, especially for the initial handshake? Then, similar to HSTS, the browser could remember the mapping and use the DNS name as a pet name for the target. Another alternative would be to

While I agree with the second, this is an implementation "detail" of the routing layer. Universal multicast is much more interesting as an usage, though I am not sure about the feasibility. As far as human-assignable names go, I a

I haven't used either, but one of the catches with yggdrasil is that you have to peer manually over the Internet. On the other hand, you could install it on every router on a network, and everything would work automatically. There are

Thanks for mentioning this, it's the first time I hear about that project, and will definitely have a look!

See also: yggdrasil/cjdns/hyperbora that also provide p2p routing in a mesh network (without DHT), but also map public keys to an unused chunk of IPv6. IPFS p2p is more similar to that project, with a DHT, though I am not sure abo

I've read the term defined as MMORPG. Virtual reality MMORPGs, maybe. But it sounds like some non-gamer marketting people discovered MMOs and decided the name wasn't cool enough.

Just like how google services handle push notifications on your phone: a persistent connection. Without GCM though, every app needs to maintain a separate connection, which drains more battery. That's why we need more alternatives to G

Would be nice to get zulip to support UnifiedPush as a replacement to FCM, you can use gotify as a transport.

I mean you can produce methane trough CO2 capture and a lot of solar power. That's basically what musk said was the goal on mars, so they could develop that tech as well. Or space-based solar. If anyone has the capability, it's sp

I really dislike that, I prefer having an occasional cheater than a kernel mode anti-cheat. Everybody agrees it's a cat-and-mouse game. What's the endgame? Requiring signed peripherals to play? With mouse and keyboard detecting a

In truth, it's because text is quite easy to handle. It's easy to make a program that handles text, too. And so we have a lot of text editors, diff tools, efficient compression, tools like sort and uniq: the whole unix ecosystem.

It's a reminder of how liberating it can be to have modular tools. Prosthetics are a bad fit for our current industry as they need to be customized for each wearer. Lego is quite intuitive to understand, most wearer could adjust their

It looks like you can fix it yourself, or ask someone, as long as you have a legal copy. I think (IANAL) redistributing is okay as log as it requires a lawfully acquired copy of the program. I wonder if that would help the open source GTA r

Interesting how they raise their wings vertically: - this way, there is much less drag during the ascending part - I imagine the air above is laminar, so that should provide much better lift too.

As we are witnessing multiple relatively small companies entering the server CPU market, it would be a really great thing if they could standardize on a compatible socket. This way, instead of designing a motherboard for a single CPU vendor
