This reminds me of frangibolts: https://www.ebad.com/tini-frangibolt/ Conop: an electric heater temporarily modifies the crystal structure and axially overloads the bolt, breaking it. We used these on a satellite that

One could generalize this quite widely :) I think humans can always find a pain point...

Tie between Julia and Haskell, for different reasons. Julia has an intuitive and expressive syntax, while having good flexibility and the ability to work in multiple paradigms. Also, being a scientific programming language, it lends itself

Sometimes I wish there were a more modern replacement for Graphviz. There are things that it doesn't handle very well (e.g., nested subgraphs) and I feel like there are good (albeit proprietary) algorithms which could make their way in

Blender is one of the highest quality open-source projects. Companies that are known for their good products or work (to me, at least, and not considering the work environments) include Galois, Boston Dynamics, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Space

FLIR has a good handbook on some of the physics: https://www.flirmedia.com/MMC/THG/Brochures/T559243/T559243_... The rest is light transport, e.g. lensing via index of refraction: https://cour

Are AMD and NVidia GPUs on par nowadays? Or is it still an NVidia-first world when it comes to compute support.

I really like how simply Julia unifies many computational concepts. For example, MPI is a classic solution to some of the same problems, but it is only for coarse parallelism. OS-specific threading libraries are available for fine-grained p

I do the exact same thing you do, and sometimes I think about enabling comments so I can have arbitrary tokens to CTRL+R toward. I have been using vi mode in zsh for so long, I never learned about Alt+.; thank you so much for introducing me

CTRL+R is a bigger timesaver for me, but I could see this being useful if my memory weren't as keyword-based.

I built a program that lets me parse the saved files from my camera (an old Nikon), including the read-only file attribute set using the camera UI, into Darktable. This also lets me assign ratings and manage files accordingly (i.e. 1 = dele

Telemetry interception could be a problem for sensitive (i.e. government) launches. I wonder if they will need to mitigate this for the first stage.

I'm surprised the article didn't suggest just buying bagged wine. The bag takes the shape of the contents, so no oxygen enters. El cheapo bagged wine lasts way longer.
