I believe the author just gave this as a popular example where tracker music can be found. Not a lot of people are fully aware of the "demoscene", where this music/tech is still quite popular. The cracker scene and demoscene

I agree with you: We could have impactful measures without a forced lockdown. However, people in these other countries, did they act like usual or did they practice a strict regime of (voluntary) social distancing? After all, as long as the

2d later, not that anyone still sees this. But: I know from a friend that their university lab is making plans to have their PCR-cabable equipment and staff on standby to run corona tests.

It's absolutley frustrating that this is even necessary - after all that's happening worldwide, people should just stay at home and avoid meeting people. A lot of us are not THAT relevant for society to not collapse at an instant,

With FDM it's difficult to impossible, yes. Even with a really fast delta & klipper. With SLS this is however realistic. Maybe two hours for a batch.

It's more like "We already have implemented dropbox for .jpg-files, also doing it for .png-files is trivial". You won't be doing all this [PCR] from scratch at home McGyver-style (okay, maaaaaybe with a biochemical educa

Depends a lot on the part and on the printer. Did you see the update? Some company "massprinted" them using a powder based printer. From the image I'd say 40 or 50 pieces.

Nope, I doubt that this translation is somehow more tweaked than other translations: Last year around this time I was shopping to import a dutch car. As a German native speaker I find dutch to be pretty well readable with some practice, but

For those who speak no dutch (neither do I), from what I understand the title gives the most important point. The google translation also seems pretty good: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=http

The difference is in the quarantine: If I have to assume it's SARS2-CoV, I don't leave the house, my partner should stay at home as well because she's most likely also infected by now; also we need to get someone to bring us

Not much better here: You're only tested for the virus if you had contact with someone who has previously been tested positive. That's the policy. A colleague comes back from an conference (embedded systems, international attendee

Hm, everyone mentions chairs. Biggest improvement bang-for-buck was setting up better lighting in my home office: I now got three decent 5.5W 4000K MR16 LED spots over each of my tables and oriented to my liking. Also, props for letting the

Not sure if you're talking about industrial revolution or present day labor conditions...? Okay, we have child labor outsourced to poorer countries, but still confusing.

Why the beat from the net? Just analyze the lyric's measure and produce a beat based on that. I know, it's lame because that doesn't even need ML :P Or, as a drummer, I recommend just going with (1)bumm (2)tzz (3)bumm (4)tz :

BT channel-hops 1600 times/second - at least that's what it did years ago when I memorized this for an exam. I don't recall audio getting some special handling, but it was only SBC and maybe AptX back then. Yes, WiFi can run

Something always worth remembering: The brain is not even as well understood as we'd like to. For what it's worth, they might just be measuring something that's analogous to a data bus. E.g. in PC terms: I can probe the data

Exactly. If this wasn't persecuted the message would be "yeah, screw people over and ruin the swiss reputation, we don't really care". Now even if the evidence isn't court-proof, or it's not possible to attach

Hm, I'd try 2x27" instead. My 27" UHD is 4.6kg without mount and power brick. Feels pretty light, but there seem to be lighter (found a 3.2kg AOC, but that's only FullHD). Packaging two of these only requires four 3d pri

Depending on the server build and your physical strength you'll have a lot of trouble lifting it there. My 3U/12x3.5" lives on a cupboard (few inches lower than overhead bins), and I would never dare to (re-)move it (from) th

The normal operation for an OTP is xor. Now if you reuse the random key K on messages A and B, you get encrypted messages A' = K xor A and B' = K xor B. Now, an attacker who learns A' and B' just needs to do A' xor

Careful: It's not clear if the 9 to 15% number covers bots overall or only the relevant subgroup for disinformation campaigns. Though I suppose it's more likely to plainly cover ALL bots. Now lets wildly assume 6 to 10 %-points of

They also do weird stuff like having on bus for the safety critical systems and another for fun stuff like the window lifter. Sometimes the infotainment uses a third bus! /s

Absolutely, scaling is one of the imho two keys here: As per [1], in 2019 Tesla sold 158k Model 3 in the US (pop ~329M). Local news[2] said VW sold 204k Golf in 2019, in Germany (pop ~83M), and they have many more well selling cars on the S

Thanks for the link, nice to know it can be done at the hobyyist-level. But it's still a lot of work I (personally) do not enjoy spending time with. If I had the space I'd probably setup my (hypothetical) MPCNC for milling PCBs, s

This only fights a symptom, the real problem is that these smart assistants need to stream the input to a company. Of course I understand that this allows for better recognition, but while I personally would like to have a well-working voic
