Interesting, sounds like it would be a good question for engineering roles too.

In a diesel engine, only fresh air is in the cylinder during the compression cycle. At the top of the compression cycle, that's when the fuel starts to be injected and immediately burns/explodes. There's other reasons why pet

I agree with this, the process of mechanical design very much involves messing around with things visually. I've interned in a place that still used "good old" 2D, non-parametric autocad, and a lot of the "premilinary&qu

I've been looking into that space once in a while out of curiosity but had never found Solvespace for some reason. Thanks!

As a frequent user of Solidworks for ~4 years, I'd have to guess that CAD constraint solvers are not an easy problem. It happens pretty often that you'll modify a single constraint (flipping it is a common culprit), the solver wil

This is the way I learned to do it in grad school. There a lot of litterature out there and most chances are 97% is irrelevant to what you're interested in. So, a lot of "reading papers" is efficiently figuring out if it is i

Thanks, makes sense. Cool for having access to your work stuff on your laptop with having to vpn in all the time.

Might be just me not being an IT guy, but from that copy I'm not sure how it differs from a traditional file server with cifs/whatever shares like most businesses already have.

Don't thind that's true. My 4 year program was definitely very challenging. It was tough, there was a lot of pressure to achieve Great Things (culture and history of large, successful student projects). There were no suicides. And

It does not have live preview, it uses latex in the backend so you have to compile to view your changes. I have found the interface mostly intuitive myself (ymmv). It has absolutely no problem doing simple documents, quite the opposite actu

Check out LyX! Not affiliated or anything, just great software that for me hits the sweetspot between Writer and hand-coding Latex. It's simple and lightweight yet powerful and easy to learn. http://www.lyx.org/

What? Why? Word and md/html solve quite different problems, the way I see it. Word is very much for paper-oriented documents while md/html are for screen-first. Word is far from my favorite document preparation system [1] (let&#x2

Sorry for being a bit off-topic, but re: heroin for palliative care, I was reminded of The Barbarian Invasions. Just a movie rec for you HN'ers, it's really great (IMHO).

Except administration is what should be mostly automated. Or at least, with computers, it should take far less people than when secretaries were banging on typewriters and financialists and accountants were sliding slide rules. I can't

I don't know anything about watch-making, but gold is pretty soft and likely easy to machine. Ceramic-based composites, on the other hand... I'd be surprised if this were the case.

This is likely right, it's also the reason when you start up most car you'll see the rpm stay higher than normal idle for a couple seconds. Heating up the catalyzer so it can do its job.

I think gas-cap tightness sensors are pretty common, possibly mandatory? My 2004 hyundai accent, probably the cheapest car you could get in NA in that time, throws a CEL if you don't tighten the gas cap past 3 clicks or so, it's e

Interesting, didn't know about the interpolation. Watching the xiph video right now. Out of curiosity, do you have any links that explained how this interp is done?

Edit: Below is probably wrong and I should have actually watched parent's video. Per Nyquist's Theorem, 44.1 kHz can represent frequencies up to 22050 Hz, which is higher than human hearing's estimated bandwith of 20 Hz - 20

I won't dispute the fact that you can distinguish, 160k vs 320k. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, I'm ready to believe people can hear artifacts at 160k even with the best encoders, especially if these people are train
