Yikes. Was kinda hoping to see it just be an NFC sticker you have to slap on your drone after registration, but this reads like they want an active radio and per-flight generated IDs, the devices need internet connections and all kinds of b

Well of course they did. The business model for the established journals is gatekeeping knowledge, so why would they be for open science?

Let's face it, Ridesharing ate their lunch. I was a religious SuperShuttle user until Lyft showed up - it usually cost me roughly the same amount to take a Lyft shared, I didn't have to wait on the right van to show up, and instea

BT and Above and Beyond are my #1 and #2 favorite artists... BT's new ambient album has been a fun listen while coding, but I'm always out for more music since I tend to listen constantly. Thanks for the link!

Is there a mix among these that isn't so... dark? I tend to go for lighter tone colors/airier ambient works when I want to really engage.

Not what I'd consider a killer feature, but it's definitely one of the advantages. Now, what is killer is that the recording is just a text file, so I can edit it and check it in to my source control system, rather than having to

Pretty favorable experience with working with this tool at $dayjob, all but the compiling of it. Luckily they release precompiled js/css files that are fairly straightforward to consume. The downside is that the recording format is a b

Sure. Criminals could also hack into Ring's servers and delete footage there too... Of course, neither of these are likely to happen, as criminals that are doing burglaries are in a hurry and not looking for security camera DVRs and da

Great. Now let's work on standardizing a footprint description language for components so we don't have to create a new footprint library for every new tool on the planet. (And maybe even so manufacturers will just release their f

This post didn't "drag Airbus through the dirt," it proved that there's no issue with the testing process at hand. Airbus did nothing wrong, nor did Boeing in this instance. Both "failed" to hit the target safe

The test on the Boeing 787 broke the load test machine - the composite wing was so strong, they literally couldn't break it. And let's just put this on record, so people can really shut up about this: The Airbus A380 failed at 145

Sure. They'll update their models saying "yeah, this can happen sometimes at 148.5% of max designed wing load. So... don't fly the plane into any >F5 tornadoes." These max overload wing tests are scary dangerous, but

The low to midrange Xeons with this kind of memory capacity have ECC. If you're not buying for your particular specifications, you're doing it wrong anyway... There are plenty of workloads tolerant to ECC errors (e.g. just about a

Err, have you ever bought a first-gen Apple product? Not something you walk into lightly... Apple has a tendency to let customers find their flaws rather than actually test for them and shake them out. I'd rather not volunteer $3000 to
