It's confounding to me. AAA/AA has always been an unhelpful designation. Much of PC gaming's recent hallmarks have used Unity to great success, for example Hollow Knight. Developers used to proclaim their games were based on

Do you know of any research focused on lead-related health issues from areas of popular general aviation? Or around the supply chain for leaded fuel?
33.
by bdefore 4y ago
General aviation is expensive certainly and for a select few very wealthy individuals. I call it cheap because there is a way to solve it, but owners of small planes are choosing not to do so (and they're not compelled to do so despite

Are there unique design constraints for engines used in general aviation that these components couldn't have a lubrication strategy akin to engines that work with unleaded fuel?

by bdefore 4y ago
Presumably 'valve gear components' could be designed to function without reliance on a toxic lubricant. Ultimately this comes down to being cheap.

All the additional detail in the nebulae shots in particular! What's resonating with me today: As a web dev, I cannot imagine the feeling of so much dedication and effort from so many people finally unfolding to release after 30 years.

The additional detail of the red spiral galaxy around 12:30 is stark by comparison to others. Any ideas on why?

Add Netlix to the pile. Each of these services leveraged a brief window of technological advantage before the trundling entrenched industries and governments caught up. Now that they have, they must compete on a dramatically different front

Thanks for these. I listened to the July 4th one. For others who may be interested, the first 20 mins are unrelated and you may want to skip ahead to the 45 minute mark or so for their conclusions. Here is the brunt of why they think the de

You speculate too far. One may wish to share their work for many motivations aside from needing to be liked. A gift is best given with no expectation of reciprocation. Open source has a definition, but some movements have saddled it with ad

Agreed that the labels matter and some of them are slippery. Some are made slippery with cavalier intent by influential people, either by redefining or hitching their movement's cart to a better known thing. Stallman and others want to

it's quite a thrill! until the months fly by and you get a particular kind of tone on an issue opened on your repository for a thing you can't devote time to anymore. and that burn can scar.

while i agree that open contribution software is a genuine good for this world for the reasons you enumerate, it is a _subset_ of open source software. OSS by itself does not imply that the author wishes to manage a community around the cod

Expectations can be set by the license, most of which used for open source explicitly outline that the author is under no obligations. There's quite a distance between your example and the behavior of most open source developers. Are y

What is growing up?

It's a problematic word. Barring death or a rare physical condition, all human children biologically reach maturity. The colloquialism of 'mature' (or as the opposite of 'immature') varies notoriously person to pers

Email suffers from other problems. Chat protocols have the ability to be either. It is a small act of violence to expect a chat message warrants an immediate response. To me, the most important feature of any messaging service is to queue u

Ah, 'Real quick' and 'Quick question'. If you suffer from saying either of these two phrases, ever, know that I think less of you when you do. It's aggressive, dismissive, and presumptuous. Usually patently false. P

I've definitely faded out of connection with folks easier by behaving asynchronously to messages. I'm also not on social networks, so you'll need to Signal/SMS/email me. Sometimes I'll bring up the Deep Work bo

Excellent advice. I'll add one more, having made the same mistake twice, twenty years apart: Don't live in an apartment at the corner of a four-way stop. The noise of squeaking brakes + engines accelerating from a stop is far wors

Much better thanks. I see now what my mistake was: clicking the logo in top left of TFA takes you to blog.flipperzero.one when I was expecting it to be what you've linked.

Your example has always been a common conversation. And a bit like The Neverending September, at some point the training became overwhelming. This misunderstanding about velocity has become prevalent, you could maybe say more common than it

There was definitely the flavors you speak of. Companies suffered from individual pieces more than others and you rolled the dice when you changed jobs. What I anecdotally perceive has changed in the last five years or so is that the no goo

One missing component (last I heard) to the Obsidian story: there's no web app. With Dendron and others, you can use code-server to use VS Code in a browser. It's a better workflow for ChromeOS, iPad nomads, Wayland users.

Got it. What particular business types do you feel your search currently provides good results for?

This is interesting. I'll need a few days to try some more searches out. But my initial thoughts is this is presenting unique results. One query that could use some cleanup is 'router', which is filled with 'Route Packag
