   I get the impression that this article is mostly about dating bones. When people talk about DNA-based-panspermia, I've always assumed that they meant either a living or dormant organism (with the potential for DNA replication/erro

   I don't know why the original comment is being downvoted. I think this is a fair point. It should be possible to give the readers a taste of the actionable business intelligence without giving it all away, shouldn't it? They have

   Social policies are usually not as rigorously-defined as things like programming rules. Thus, it is important to consider the motives of people who may end up enforcing them, because there's potentially a large difference between the l

   This might be a case where there's overlap between ad-hominem attacks and a relevant critique of the argument itself. I interpret the comment as: "if the author can't follow his own guidance, or if the author's own compl

   Yeah, I think it's fluff. They also make some pointless distinction between "simulating" versus "replicating" Conway's game of Life. It's ridiculous to suggest that the game is not representable as a Turin

   I think the appropriate market response is to start pricing this behavior into our salary asks as younger engineers. Rather than assuming a long career with increasing pay, point to cases like this in salary negotiations. Your highest incom

   I've found it almost impossible to sit down and "come up with projects". I would look for a problem and try to solve it. Start broadly at first. You might run into something that seems like a block to solving the problem. Sol

    Similar to https://github.com/puzzledqs/BBox-Label-Tool but better for farming out huge quantities of tagging. This tool outputs training sets in the YOLO format. Admins can upload lists of image URLs (tested up to 10K

    There's some demand for niche accessory boards for the RPi. Relatively easy to design, too - get a basic copy of Eagle or KiCAD. I don't know if any single tutorial is going to give you what you want. I'd just dive right in,

    I would skip your search for the "right stack" and think about working on real, profitable applications. Develop whatever needs to be developed to solve a real problem. Most things calling themselves 'robotics stacks' no

    1. You're correct, those requirements aren't trivial. They're also not impossible, it's just a considerable amount of work. Phone libraries won't magically solve any of your issues. 2. I would attempt to drastically

    I think your point is basically correct - this is an economics question rather than a technical question. My conclusion isn't that society doesn't value human lives; it's that the government isn't very efficient, and 911

    This is the 3rd "low cost" Linux board to "come out" in the last year or two (Chip and RPI Zero) but none of them are available on the market. All of these projects have endless streams of explanations why the product is
