Looks like Plex Pass (paid [1]) features are all aimed towards people running their own media center and Plex is targeting casual users with free features that the core audience of Plex doesn't care about or use. I understand that the

After messing with the desktop version for a few minutes the note editor is weird. It doesn't modify the original pdf or the copy of the pdf it makes, the only way to get the highlights is to export it as a pdf. I expected something si

I've used Fusion 360 pretty extensively. It is pretty buggy and has performance issues especially for even small assemblies. I also worry that with Autodesk moving towards ridiculous pricing that I'll lose access to everything I&#

As a graduating Engineering student that is about to lose access to some really powerful and incredibly expensive CAD software I can't agree enough. I think I just need to say goodbye to parametric modelling and embrace Blender.

Very happy to see this. An old side project of mine randomly became a very popular bot on discord and when discord.py shut down I decided to just let my bot die whenever the API no longer supported discord.py. I likely still will let it die

One of the best SaaS websites I've seen. Lets you play with the tool as much as you want without signing up and the business model is totally aimed at businesses with a very generous free tier. Chart tools seem very powerful as well.

I wonder if it would be possible for wallets to look at a smart contract before a transaction and determine if your input will cause any kind of action or if you are just burning your coins.

Noise of a rocket launch is a pretty big issue that's likely not going to be overcome for a long time.

The military applications of this are pretty impressive. Elon has said before that he plans on moving people with this and you can get between any two points on earth in under 30 minutes. Being able to go from a crisis happening anywhere on

A large part of the wait is for the telescope to cool down, many of the instruments are likely to not function at all until they reach extremely cold temperatures. The other issue is that the complexity of the instruments means that without

Great idea. I was honestly pretty disappointed by how hard it was to put a blog post I wrote in Pluto onto my static website. I still really think Pluto needs a way to generate static markdown similar to jupyter and maybe create a button to

If your argument is that animations in SVG don't work well then wouldn't it be best to use TinyVG in place of static SVG assets and make something new that is better suited for animation?

This game gets out of hand quickly. Before you know it you'll have about a dozen scripts automatically hacking every server in the game automatically. Highly recommended.

Never done symbolic math in Mathematica but I have done it extensively in SymPy and Matlab. The symbolic toolbox is surprisingly powerful and performant compared to SymPy and I've never really been left wanting more.

Agreed. I'm actually doing a VRP using genetic algorithms for a final project right now. That said I feel like I know enough about the problem to know that I don't know enough about the problem to contribute to HN about it. Space

The average relative velocity between objects in LEO is ~10 km/s with a maximum of about 14km/s [1]. You would have a very hard time shielding against even tiny pieces of metal at those speeds. [1] The new SMAD

This was likely due to the anti satellite test performed by Russia. There really needs to be international law completely forbidding tests like this. Kessler Syndrome would do much more damage than just keep us from getting to space. Life a
