It seems you're talking about about self-hosting a website or web-app that you are developing for the public to use. My vision of self-hosting is basically the opposite. I only self-host existing apps and services for my and my family&

The other infuriating thing is that the search filters appear to be deliberately non-functional and interpreted as mere suggestions. Distance, price and listing date, for example. Try filtering for new listings in the past week and you will

I'm in eastern Canada, and unfortunately, FBM has completely overtaken the previous leader for online classifieds, which was kijiji (owned by ebay). So if you want to to buy/sell used goods, FBM is pretty much your only option aro

All correct. To add, the main problem with ceramics is their fragility under tensile stresses. Spinning at high speeds puts the blades into tensile stress, which tends to "open up" microscopic defects in the crystal structure and

Agreed, I like to have a "general use" environment to use for various one-off interactive python sessions, scripts or jupyter notebooks.

And no Pink Floyd fans. Gapless is definitely a must for any music enthusiast, I believe. I use Jellyfin btw, it does support gapless.

Yes, idiot proof would be a correct translation. Or more literally, since "détrompe couillon" is a noun, an "idiot proofer", or "idiot-proofing feature".

Correct. A 10% error can be calibrated out if it is constant (in practice it probably varies a bit with temperature). But for measuring thermocouples or strain gauges, for example, 50 mV (your example) can be 100-500% of the signal, which b

Since December, Trump has repeatedly "joked" on social media about Canada being the 51st US state and Trudeau being a "Governor". The whole thing is pretty stupid, but Trump is so chaotic that chances of bad things happe

JuliaSim looks interesting! From my understanding, it's 100% proprietary/commercial, but built on top of the open source https://github.com/SciML/ModelingToolkit.jl ?

I nominate Molex SL. 2.54 mm for easy fit on breadboards and such (EH is 2.5 mm), can fit multiple connectors side by side (just like "dupont" connectors), they have latches (molex KK, for example, has no latch) and many variants:

My first thought as a mechanical engineer is whether this could be useful for PID controllers. Getting a usable derivative value for the "D" term is often a challenge because relatively small noise can create large variations in t

In the hakko line, fx-951 is the step-up which uses a heater and sensor in the tip (t15/t12 tips). The alternative, for a hobbyist, would be something like this new iFixit iron, the Pinecil, Miniware TS80/TS100 or one of the varie

Same, the first thing I looked for is what tip it uses. I want to like the miniware, pine, etc irons, but I'd really like being able to buy T15 tips from my local electronics supplier, who carries Hakko. If the product isn't suces

Yep, I live in eastern Canada, and cars here typically don't reach end-of-life due to engine mileage, but due to the frame eventually being too rusted.

I'm really not a "truck guy", but it seems to me from the outside that the price of the F150 and similar pick-ups has been really jacked up since they are now a "status symbol" in many areas. Plus, the standard bed

From my understanding, the only thing volatile does (IIRC this is implementation specified as the standard is vague) is prevent the compiler from optimizing out reads or writes when it thinks they are "useless". That is, is tells

The built-in nbconvert tool can already do that. Maybe not the most beautiful output by default, but you can give it custom CSS or latex template (for PDF output) via CLI flags.

Yes, unless there's a de laval nozzle inside that thing, which I wouldn't expect. If you've ever used a compressed air gun from a compressor or at a tire fill station, it's also very likely choked flow, sonic exit speed.
