Also no power required. I loved the hydraulic tooling I got to use, but almost every time we would turn to the manual option for simplicity.

The density or complexity of traffic really has nothing to do with whether a car has been designed in such a way that it significantly impedes vision where it is most critical. In this case, a quiet roundabout with one other car almost dire

I've had an entire Mazda 2 hidden from view in a roundabout, by the A-pillar and associated airbag of a VE commodore. Pedestrians and bicycles required much more effort to see in that car than any other I've ever driven.

Going through compliance at the moment. It's a lot for a high voltage medical device, headache inducing even.

Very impressive. Due to my work at the moment, the sight of the CE mark gave me an instant headache though.

Flinders University (South Australia) covered some large carparking with solar panels just a couple of years ago. The solution to the problem of funding seemed to be to get the staff and students to subsidise it through drastically increase

I'm surprised yet extremely excited at seeing how quickly all this new info is coming out of JWST. I would have completely understood if they'd taken much longer once at L2, and the interesting results to be far slower and further

I rarely found the bottleneck of Matlabs inefficiency to be a major issue with my work, and found the speed to get analysis started and finished a great benefit. I've used a lot of more 'real' programming languages when the n

I learned real Matlab using project Euler in my first year of uni. I'd been taught it previously as 'just a calculator', but working through the problems opened up a world of skills I knew nothing about. Those learnings pushe

I recall driving a borrowed Mercedes in early 2020, the car was maybe two years old, two door coupe, nice but not super sporty, automatic. As is my habit, one of the first things I did was put it in to manually shifted mode. I found with ac

I spent a week in a workshop a few years ago helping make damascus style steel and titanium. Hot and hard work and had a brilliant time. One of my more favourite memories from vacations.

Honestly whenever someone at the uni, staff or student, couldn't get access to a paper we just turned to scihub. That was current as of late 2021.

When I was a university researcher, after publishing my first paper in the role I carefully read the policy requiring making data available, as I wanted to be correct by the book, but also have my data (which I took pride in) publicly avail

Yes indeed, though not necessarily the cause in this case. While it could be coincidence, magnetization of components can result in reduced accuracy. Some companies have started to release watches with silicon springs, though very expensive

County comm mid pilot watch, it's advertised as Sapphire. Comparing with colleagues at the time, it was a far sight tougher than their watches.

A demagnetizer is on the shopping list, but at the same time, a quick adjustment every now and then is easy enough. I also love my watch, so a switch to antimagnetic isn't high on my priorities.

I've been using the same mechanical watch, more or less every day, for a little over 12yrs now. Miyota movement, stainless body, Sapphire window, about $300. In years of machine shop work the movement survived fine, and has one scratch

The claim has been deemed premature by the primary research organisation involved in this project. I'd call that a pretty big red flag.

Thank you for the insight. I've had a bit to do with apprentices before, but only recently started supervising interns. It's nice to see another view of things as my only experience as an intern was awful.

I've got to agree with this. While I am a fan of some of the assistances that come with vehicles, I am not a fan of the level of assistance some vehicles build in. I've lost power steering and powered brake assistance before (sepa

I had the pleasure of visiting Tokyo years ago, but after having visited many more cities since I only retrospectively realised how great it really was. I've been making plans to head back since 2019 and am excited to see how my experi

Not all tension controlled scenarios are dirty though. Working with a lot of stainless recently in controlled environments, galling is a big friction variable so instrumented bolts can be crticial.

Unfortunately, I agree with this. I was an early backer on the mini, and got it with the aluminium case. While the case looked great, it mechanically interfered with the antennae, meaning they didn't actually make a connection. Their s

Yep, pretty much exactly this. I understand it enough to use it as a tool and do some rudimentary troubleshooting, but to explain how it works would require some waving of the hands to fill in my knowledge gaps.

That indeed works, but is a time consuming manual process, pipes arent always leaking clearly (visually), and that only works when a failure has occured. I built a few fibre based instruments three or four years ago that could detect and ga

There's also OFDR now, frequency based. My understanding of it is pretty hand-wavey, but it's a lot more sensitive.

That's exactly what I did for my first benchtop supply. Being a student, 'free' was a pretty good deal. Used it regularly for a good many years until one project I had drew so much current it really accentuated the voltage ri

Thanks for writing this up, I'm always on the look out for alternative methods for DFTs and the like, currently concentrating on interpolation of low frequencies (after DC, but still within the first 5% of wave numbers) . I'll see
