I think Polyolefin Primer (Permabond POP) is magical in what it can superglue. Beautiful chemistry allowing something like Teflon or steel to be glued. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9yz8OqThJk

Regarding hardware, it's not entirely true that it doesn't need maintenance/development. See "stepping" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepping_level . There are sometimes ways to tweak the masks

The discharge was described as black. Unless I’m missing something regarding the allowable discharges, it would reason they are also discharging something else which isn’t being looked for.

I caution PayPal would only work if you trusted the original shopping site, and perhaps your "credentials" got breached and used illicitly elsewhere. I got banned from PayPal after I tried to buy an electrical switch, was on an (a

There's somewhere in the ballpark of 166,000 employees at Apple, just unfathomable scale [1]. It is not unreasonable to ask that someone specific is responsible for each particular small feature and ensuring it keeps working. Trying to

Retrieval is $0.03 / GB, so more on the order of 10’s of dollars. This use case is offsite location of the 3-2-1 storage backup rule. I think this is an underserved market with current consumer-facing backup providers.

I think another aspect is regarding fundamentals. In order to stay engaged in the early years, you will skip over the minutia. But to achieve the next level, you must go back and drill the fundamentals, unlearning any bad habits in the proc

A family member has uploaded a backup of all of the family photos to Amazon Glacial Storage, on the order of a few hundred GB, and gleefully sends me screenshots of the <$1/mo charges.

Even structural items can be made quite thin! There is a college design competition to make concrete canoes which can be 3/8" to 7/16" thick: https://www.concretecanoe.org/2008Triva/Florida2008Design

I scrolled with the mouse wheel and the origin drifts off screen. Is there an open-source "cleanroom" re-implementation of the Parasolid kernel? I just like the way Solidworks does things vs. Autodesk.

I think that would be a great article! For your specific app, I can see how the "super modern" sparse UI fits nicely, since the controls are nice and simple. However, for a more involved app knowing what possibilities there are to

I’m still confused which frameworks are tied to which “visuals”. Ignoring the web-frameworks, do Win32 apps inherently look like Windows XP buttons or can they look more modern? It might be nice if the article could add screenshots, a few o

This is an interesting perspective, because from my point of view, the criminals ceasing their illegal activity would be a "win". Whereas, the alternative is the government knowingly allowing illegal activity to continue as they b

The "free" federal tax filing service I use in Florida, makes their money by charging for state filings. It will add an additional hour or two of effort to every resident of the state, even if they are below the state income thres

Did you consider trying the iPhone accelerometer? Perhaps lay the phone face down on the table and then lay the watch on the back? Wondering if this would have higher or lower SNR.

Not to mention, those same carbon emission regulations/targets they are lobbying/fighting against did not come about in a vacuum. The regulations were intentionally cranked up to "unachievable" levels for ICE vehicles fr

Part of the issue is that somehow you can buy just the "assets" half of a company and ignore the "liabilities" portion. And the assets include all the branding and brand name. So an essentially new copy of the previous c

I'm sorry for not elaborating. My original complaint is with Anthropic! The article is about how Anthropic's published "tips" are incorrect, but I am saying of course it's flawed because there is no way for the AI

That first image, “Structure Prompts with XML”, just screams AI-written. The bullet lists don’t line up, the numbering starts at (2), random bolding. Why would anyone trust hallucinated documentation for prompting? At least with AI-generate

Even better, start a new company with the previous coworkers who are all versed in the same industry as you just left! Block is profitable, so there’s a lunch to eat.
