Is the VC funding part important or just the lots of money part? I've got the impression that VCs aren't really interested in hardware so it's governments that have to step in and fund it. I also believe the Chinese governmen

That looks good! I’ll have to give it a try. I’ve been trying to make some resources to encourage my son to pick up more from my wife and have been using hambaanglangs graphical generator[1]. It’s good but can be a bit fiddly to use. [1] h

I’d love to see some more information about these fairs if you have a link. My wife likes watching a lot of British YouTubers in Japan and it’s made me want to see more about how the Japanese view British culture.

Does the Japanese government pay for or in some way support articles like this? Do people in Japan get articles about how amazing coppicing is in the UK? Articles like this about Japan make me feel a bit weird but I kind of wish we were bet

I got a new laptop recently and decided to give pop a go. So far I am very happy. I think if you want something like Ubuntu but not Ubuntu then Pop is a good choice.

I think this depends a lot on the time scales you are looking at. COVID isn’t going to go anywhere once the pandemic is declared over. The chance of you getting it at some point is very high.

I just tested this and don't get any message. What version are you using?

That sounds like an awful experience and I’m sorry your wife had to go through that. I just wanted to add that when my wife gave birth in the UK on the NHS last year she had an amazing experience and the level of support before during and a

Just to clarify yocto is not a distro but a project that allows you to create your own custom distro. Two yocto builds could be completely different from one another even using different package managers.

I think a hybrid model would be my ideal setup. Something like flextime core hours but extended to days of the week.

Huh I guess I assumed that was only for businesses and not personal use. Thanks I'll take a look!

I would be happy to pay Google a monthly fee for all their services. Mainly just so I feel like a customer instead of a product and to give me the peace of mind that if something goes wrong I can talk to a person that can help me. At the mo

The best use I found for it was making a kind of granola. I can't remember the exact recipie I used but a bunch come up when searching.

I always feel like I have to point out that something like 80% of soya world wide goes to animal feed(I think the oil may be extracted first as well).

Huh this reminds me of the TacTip from the Bristol Robotics Lab. I'm guessing the sensor works in a pretty similar way. Oh it seems there are some instructions on how to build one yourself: https://softroboticstoolkit.com&#x

Wow this sounds incredible. Part of me would love to try something like this. The Wikipedia article has more information on their struggles and is a fascinating read. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosphere_2

I think a lot of people underestimate how difficult it is to move manufacturing out of China. Manufacturing isn't all unskilled labour that can be moved to whatever the cheapest country is. There is a lot of expertise needed in modern

I bought a Go for my wife for Christmas as I had heard good things about them. To us it seemed like a rubbish tablet combined with an awful laptop with the terrible windows 10 on it. In the end she has just gone back to using her 8 year old

I recently bought a book from waterstones online but only because amazon would have taken at least 3 weeks to get it to me. It was the same price as amazon but I did have to pay a couple of pounds for postage. Though another reason to not b

I think arduino is a good place to start. If you want something slightly different I like the teensy which is arduino compatible and can plug into a breadboard. I'd pick up a basic electronics kit as well that includes a bread board an

My wife suspects it started in Hong Kong. People started buying all the toilet paper so they could make masks from them. Then people in other countries saw on the news that toilet paper was running out in Hong Kong so they started panic buy

I'm planning on moving back to HK this May so I hope this has all blown over by then. I just heard my boss managed to get back to HK a day before they stopped people leaving the village he was in. Now he has to work from home for 2 wee

I've heard from relatives that it is the same thing in Hong Kong. Last time I talked to them they said it has been quite difficult so far. I'm not sure if they have had any training to prepare for this at all or if they are just w

If anyone is interested in Japanese wood block prints I really suggest checking out David Bulls channel on YouTube. He did a whole series on his own copy of the Great Wave. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAhiMCSvtCc&lis
