Oh, I'm with you on a lot of things here, and I've just typeset my PhD manuscript with it, being a longtime (10 years) user. LaTeX does not feel like a programming language. It is first and foremost designed as a macro language, w

Look, call 35K cold if you want. It's relatively easy to make some fusion at home [1] at even colder temperatures. However, the real issue here is __producing__ energy (edit: more than you put in). This has never been done in a sustain

In short: restore tributaries to create pockets of biodiversity, even if the main river is subjected to toxic event. They create suitable breeding grounds by undoing previous canalization work, and restore the riverbed by adding gravel. Of

The system is not supposed to draw any power while hibernating (suspend-to-disk). Maybe you're thinking of suspend-to-ram (sleep)? To diagnose hibernation issues, I'd double check the kernel command line (resume=<disk or inode&

You are talking about two different things. Parent was explaining what federation was. Both XMPP and Matrix are federated, just like e-mail. And I'd say that Matrix is closer to e-mail and XMPP than you seem to assume. Once the databas

Even if that where true (note that the wind is not pushing the blade directly away, but sideways), the tip of the blade is not responsible for most of the force (since it mostly depends on the cross section area, intuitively). In other word

They say the green drop is actually lowered after ranging, so the user knows how to aim with the gravity-induced drop. Pretty cool :)

Sounds like it should be illegal. That said, changing my User Agent to IE+Win7 changed the identifier for me. Looks like Firefox's "resist fingerprinting" setting also works. I wish there was a separare setting for private

Not necessarily. 1. 18+website tells the browser age verification is needed, gives a random token 2. Browser signs a verification request with the local ID card (or a key temporality allowed to do so), forwards it to government server 3. Go

Probably both? At least the first. For integrated circuits, I think lead is a hard pass (for now), and the deposition process needs to be worked out. Ideally, this could be useful for the hottest paths: clock tree, high-speed buses, as well

Hmm, maybe the atomic bomb? The wright brothers's first flight took place about 120 years ago, so it doesn't qualify. However, in both cases, people knew it was a matter of time before someone figured the proper recipe. Room tempe

I agree that it can still be used in a lot of applications, but this would probably restrict its use in everyday items, such as over-the-counter magnetic bearings,long-distance transmission lines, or consumer electronics (RoHS). Lead batter

I don't think you actually need reversibility if you don't discard the energy but return it to the power supply? In other words, "reversibility", but you can actually pool the useless results together, you don't nee

That also means that electrons flow unimpeded from one side to the other. Great for energy transmission (though you can't put too much current, superconductivity breaks down under strong fields). Great for fast circuits, such as CPUs,

Are you sure you don't just want client certs? I can also imagine an IPv7 with ephemeral addresses based on private keys (like on yggdrasil), and a way for the browser to remember keys if wanted by the user. Authenticate sessions with

It reminds me of the "cozy web" concept, which is defined as walled gardens with community gatekeepers, such as group chats. Small bubbles where you feel safe and not exposed to outside trolls, corporate or advertisers. https:&#x

Another nice alternative is pmbootstrap, postmarketOS's one-stop tool to setup cross compilation environments, cross-compile packages, run tests in qemu, flash devices, etc. I know some projects picked it up and adapted it to their pur

Something like 10BASE-T1S (802.3cg) would be nice. Single-pair Ethernet with PoE (PoDL) and bus-like connectivity (from what I've read, I haven't had the opportunity to try it in practice). https://www.ieee802.org/

A random lock (or a street-level camera FWIW [1]) would be better positioned to extract enough data to reproduce the key. U2F tokens are "Trusted Platform Modules" of sorts. The keys themselves are never visible to the devices you
