Yeah, I'm less than a year into this hobby so I'm far from an authority. Re: TX16S. I have both the TX16S (running EdgeTX) and the T-Lite. I strongly prefer the T-Lite for it's compactness and portability. If I succeed in shi

Depends on who's GPL3 code is being distributed. If it's 100% Gyroflow's code, couldn't they distribute in the app store under whatever license is necessary while also hosting a GPL3 repos somewhere? Admittedly, not a gr

What are you looking to do? Tripod-in-the-sky? Acrobatic crazy stuff? Cruising around? Speaking for myself, I wanted to feel like I was piloting something, not just stiffly moving a camera around. I thought I wanted long flight times but ha

USB-C is a standard and would be better understood by 3rd parties than a custom connector developed in-house. I hope the physical form factor for Framework's modules/adapters becomes a standard in itself because I think it would e

I can do you one better, create a master sketch: a sketch that you don't pad/revolve/etc to form a 3D object. All your future sketches should attach to references on the master sketch. Make the existing object/shape invi

Looking around here, there's not a lot of FreeCAD fans I guess :) I use FreeCAD to create custom parts for my 3D printer. I also strongly prefer Open Source solutions. They won't change terms, add spyware, or compromise the design

Isn't embedded a big piece of RISC-V? How important is portability? And that being said, why have a software implementation anyway? Doesn't that risk destroying performance in unexpected ways?

There's so many angles to politics. It sounds reasonable that a Senator with prior expertise and personal enthusiasm will push forward a bill more than one without the background. OTOH, it's all backroom deals and negotiations any

It's funny how all the machinist youtubers share the same sense of humor. Like, you'd think Quinn and This Old Tony were siblings or something.

Examples of common and "hidden" car centric subsidies: - Roads are basically free to use, transit users must pay a fare. Gas tax and other fees do not come close to the listed or actual cost (e.g. missing DOT salaries, equipment)

Once you get past the acceptance of the premise, you'll find people objecting to adopting that lifestyle. For many Americans, the nearest city is not a desirable place to live so they don't know what they're missing. For the

If you're using your tech stack as a hiring filter, it doesn't count as "Boring Technology".

Nah, we'll just mandate that every business provide 4 parking spots per expected customer instead /s. If people _need_ to drive somewhere, they will want their own car and they will demand that others cater to their choice. I stil

This article would be enhanced with concrete examples. The "Boring Technology" argument is hard to attack because it's an opinion, an ideal. It's a good ideal, mind you, but it has the problem of being different for each

Whoa, easy there. I would caution against painting with too broad a brush. There are many nice cities in the US and yes, many are quite livable without owning a car. You are correct that the US has a major problem with a polarized and paral

These are significant and general problems with society right now but perhaps orthogonal to transportation. Being able to drive past the homeless encampment might be convenient(?) right now but we've graduated from ignoring our crumbli

I'm not optimistic that a significant number of people who need car transportation will give up personal vehicles. You would lose a lot of things: - Spontaneity: You need to wait for the car to show up - Independence: I would rather be

The specific concern is that your car will drive you to work, turn around, then drive home again to park in your driveway. Doubling the trips will result in twice the congestion.

It's hard to tell people "just take the bus" when the nearest suitable home to the bus stop starts at $1M. Alt transit is making slow but measurable progress but the housing situation is the real priority if you want people o

You're going to have to expand your pithy take there. Rush hour still exists. Bumper to bumper traffic still exists. There's an awful lot of people who apparently need a lot of cars all at the same time.

How do you sync between devices? Dropbox or Syncthing? I find myself favoring self-hosted webapps over local running apps. It eliminates the "no client for X platform" problem while also providing syncing across devices.

I think there's a new phenomenon that needs to be addressed: poor WFH communication channels. By encouraging radio silence, so as to not "interrupt anyone", things get missed. Also some people feel the need to tightly control

Sorry, I think you misunderstood. This is installing both types of card in the same computer: one for desktop/Wayland (AMD), and the other for ML/CUDA (Nvidia).

Maybe because Herschel was active for only a few years while Hubble is still going? Hubble has also produced some of the most recognizable images of space. It's clearly a name with more awareness in the general public.

I think it would be nice if English evolved to only ungendered pronouns. Eliminates accidental offense while also reducing everyone's cognitive load. Also, you reminded me of a quote from yesterday: "The problem with defending the

It's really amusing contrasting the brains going around in that family with them both goofing off with a lawn mower carburetor in the garage.
