Strangely, if you use an alt keyboard layout, dropping most of the vowels actually makes it a little less comfortable to type. Coleman and (particularly) Dvorak both put a lot of effort into making common words either alternate hands or rol

"Gimballed" might be a better term for it. The airship would work by thrust vector control: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust_vectoring

Fully 90 percent of my Instagram explore page is variations of one meme, which I don't remember ever clicking on. It's the blue guy from avatar with captions like "Selfish? How much does it cost?" I just opened my explor

I love my X1 tablet gen 1, but I need to repair the screen on it. Not sure if it's still true for the gen 3, but the gen 1 had a lot of modular parts you could add, like an extra battery that also gives you an HDMI port. Plus, I had th

That was quite fun and a very satisfying experience on mobile! It would definitely be a good base to expand on for further demos.

Which is a good reason to avoid giving your data to either one in the first place. If I don't have a choice though, I'll take the company over the government any day.

I love my P50! Although I'm still a little salty that I couldn't find any decent P51 models on eBay when I was buying, because I have a P51 mustang sticker on the back and the joke doesn't quite... land.

Leaded gasoline is an issue because it's a very bioavailable form of lead. It contains tetraeythyl lead, which is extremely volatile and likes to absorb into your cells. Solid lead, on the other hand, is much more inert. The main dange

I've been building a website in Grav and I've found it a really nice introduction to the world of dynamic content. I was pleasantly surprised by how familiar PHP felt coming from Python, and all the frontend skills of static websi

The textbook for this course is probably one of the finest Strang ever wrote. It's also worth looking at the original edition of the textbook, which was called "Introduction to Applied Mathematics" and has a much more thoroug

So perhaps this is convergent evolution? "Character" can also mean symbol, like a key on a typewriter. That would make more sense as a descendant from "engraving".

This looks fantastic. It would be really great to have some proper competition to McMaster in terms of making part information accessible. I'll keep this in mind for future products, good luck bringing it fully to market!

That's super cool! I worked last year on an algae bioreactor. I was growing chlorella in plastic bottles in my room, just for the heck of it. That year I also met some people working for a University of Edinburgh startup using algae to

Every part of your first sentence is inaccurate. Submarines are glued tight; all the body panels are welded together. They do this because making waterproof riveted joints is hard [0]. Riveted joints would flex and open up, requiring consta

Yeah, the waterproofing concerns me. Neither of the examples they brought up in the article had ip67 water resistance, which I consider a bare minimum after water damaging too many cheap phones. The best phones are more water resistant th

Seconded! I got really annoyed with Feedly because I would accidentally swipe between articles and it wouldnt save my spot, among other mobile issues. Inoreader has no such problems and 100% gets out of the way. I love it

I really liked marginalia when I first used it (when it was released) but it seems to have a little more cruft now. Not sure if that's other peoples experience too?

Hey, another extend user! I literally can't imagine using a computer for a long time if it didn't have extend and colemak-dh. The friction with trying to make extend work on Linux is the main reason I'm stuck on Windows.

Ads and websites in general have been expanding to fill available space for years, so it's hard to notice how large that space has gotten. Browsing without ads is like unclipping a ball and chain.
