Highly recommend any work that has a non-trivial creation/publishing threshold, regardless of medium or domain. To tie the back to a HN context - this works great for academic papers. I've had some great email exchanges from origi

That's always been the cycle. As key acts from any sub-genre are subsumed into increasingly polished, expensive, and bland, club nights, festivals, and tours that community will eventually bifurcate into a properly dodgy and fun underg

You don’t need fixed base stations. Just infra on the train that rolls bassid based on location data the train already has. This would silently hook into native location services already on devices without additional sensing or models train

Bit of a meta note: grown adult here who never got into cubing earlier in life. Recently picked one up as some non-screen entertainment for some long haul flights and train travel. Highly recommend.

Same experience with an induction cooktop with touch controls. At least once a week this is what that looks like: 1. Place pot of water on element to boil 2. Enable boost mode 3. Water reaches boil as I'm distracted with other prep &#x

That history extends back the other direction too with mechanical tide prediction machines, or even early marine chronometers for navigation - the OGps if you will.

That seems like an efficient approach for a commercial scale version. The form would essentially mirror center-pivot irrigation [1] so you can keep a fixed point for delivering energy, water, fertiliser etc and cover larger circular patch w

Every astonishing feat of humanity is built on a tower of accreted now mundane technology (with that word meant in the wider sense, not computers).

Assuming this event itself isn't malicious, what an excellent POC for something that is. I sure hope every org out there with this level of market reach has good security in place. It's certainly going to be getting some probing a

I don't think the 'code' side of code base can be considered in isolation. What makes a project objectively good (from subjective experience) is a combination of code, design, documentation, and often the humans involved.

Products (and particularly ideas) can be explored in a pull pattern too. Pushing things—physical items, concepts of identity, or political ideology—in the fashion endemic to the ad industry is a pretty surefire way to end up with an extreme
