6 could have worked too, we'd just need a uppercase prefix and let the terminal handle it. In fact given normal English case rules, I'm surprised that we devoted a whole extra 26 characters to uppercase when bit rate was at a prem

This is literally the 'carrier liability exemption' that section 230 is based on, HN gets all up in arms whenever carrier liability is threatened to be taken from internet sites...

It seems to be how the web site is designed, if you use the search function all the ones past those points are there, just don't show up in the lists.

Optical sensor would be the best option - both induction and hall effect will add a very tiny eddy current brake effect that will slow down the pendulum. Probably imperceptively, but it'll be there and will affect time keeping eventual

Not just sainsburys, ebay and amazon give nectar points as a reward, and at least ebay offers vouchers in return for points.

He's wrong because that is an area that the USN actively did carrier training in from 1945 to today, and lots of planes ended up in the ocean after missing a landing, a take-off failure, or just because the pilot had to bail for whatev

Here in the UK the pendolino class trains, at least while operated by Virgin, were notorious for entering into an oscillating open/close loop. So much so that several times the staff would announce which cars had working toilets after

I'd rather they didn't, I recently upgraded our household flashlights and was pleased to be able to get 3-mode rather than the ridiculous 5 and 7 mode that they were replacing, no more having to loop through 'SOS' and se

That's kind of my point, the sonar imagery looks exactly like an utterly intact swept wing jet, rather than a straight wing electra that hit the water at speed. I'm much more inclined to think that what the sonar imagery shows is

'Bent' no, they'd have broken off if at all, and there's no sign of that on that sonar. Plus the horizontal stabilisers on the tail look swept too. It's much much more likely it's a swept wing jet like the Coug

Not unless the Lockheed Model 10 Electra has suddenly become a swept wing plane, no. It looks much closer to the planform of a F9F Cougar.

A little OT, but does twitter not show tweets in (reverse) chronological order anymore? It seems to be a random stream of Dec, Dec, Nov, Jan, Nov, Dec type posts that render a resource like this somewhat useless.

It's not the cleanroom that's the issue, it's mostly hazardous materials and some of the processes (gas deposition, sputtering) aren't garage friendly. That said, there are people on youtube that are doing it, and it&#x2

It's just strips of thin metal and thin 'plastic', insanely cheap to produce and replace if they get damaged. Dishes are also fairly easy to damage, especially if they're torn down and moved. That said, what's shown

Embraer exist for many of the short hop trips United also covers. edit: to add some elucidation, United operate 40 737-700s that they may consider replacing soon, the E195 would be an option against the A320 or 737-MAX7 options.

I really doubt anyone is using a 128k for anything but occasionally tickling their nostalgia buds. The 128k was drastically ram starved even at release, 512k really was the minimum required very quickly.

One thing I think C++ (or at least, most C++ users) gets right is suggesting that you should use 'auto' if you don't really care that much about bit width, and the specified sizes otherwise. Thankfully C23 takes this approach

The headline is kind of misleading, as most people are likely to read it and go 'well duh, fossils are rock'. It means a specific set of fossils aren't of plant nor animal. Stripping the 'Bizarre' from the start o
