Not these ones. There's no controller so you can't fly them anywhere - they just follow a predetermined flight path.

Ahh! I thought the idea of 'to street' sounded familiar. 17776 is excellent.

The Lotus that the GP refers to is probably Lotus Development Corporation / Lotus Software, the makers of the hugely popular Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet from the 80s. It's still around-ish: it was owned by IBM until 2017 then was sold

Huh! I had no idea Yamaha made routers.

Yep. Motorbikes are surprisingly cheap, e-bikes are surprisingly expensive. The difference though, at least in the UK, is that for a motorbike you have to shell out more money and time to go sit a series of driving tests before you're

Schwarzenegger films? Don't recognise the middle two, but the first one is obviously Conan and the last one is presumably Terminator?

Really surprising that the communication is two-way, and sends signals with such a high bit rate. I wonder why this would be so? It's not like there's any closed-loop control going on, other than the loop formed by the user's

The article on ceramic CRTs was fascinating! I had no idea that CRTs could be made out of ceramic - I always assumed they were all glass. A short excerpt: "Scope faceplates used to be round, simply because glass CRT bottles were round,

Huh, I had no idea they were that cheap! Always assumed it would be some multi-hundred-$ professional gadget.

He tends to do several videos in a row on a theme - for instance, slicing through 'cut-proof' bags, or snapping shackles with spanners, etc. But you just need to go back maybe ten videos and you'll find that the majority of h

I think the Ramset videos might count as 'cheating' - there probably aren't many locks designed to take the force of a .22 blank powder charge to the body and survive. And the ones about shooting locks with a 50 cal rifle de

Yeah. Balance is important. I worked on a few teams where I really liked the people, but ultimately we were building a stupid product that existed only because some exec thought it would be a good idea, rather than because any users actuall

Gaslighting seems to have mutated to mean "asserting strongly that something isn't true, which I've personally experienced to be true", or in the more extreme cases, "...which I believe to be true." IMO it&#x27

I think that linking skin sensations to proprioception is pretty dubious. Think about walking in a high gale. The air will be pressing your outer layers to your body in a way that adds extra 'weight', but there's not even the

Huh, fascinating! I always imagined that, if adjustments were needed, they'd be done on some sort of off-line jig where deflection could be precisely controlled. But no, it's just some guy using his body weight to bend the door in

Game addiction is a multi-year struggle for me that comes and goes. At one point I even set limits for myself using Blizzard's excellent parental controls, but even then I found myself disabling them when I was convinced that I just de

Very interesting! Reminds me a bit of ladder logic, a 2D visual programming paradigm based on wiring together relays - but at a higher level of abstraction, since ladder logic is mostly based on simple boolean operations and doesn't re

For the people who are confused: this is a fairly common thing on landlines in some countries, where the telephone exchange doesn't drop the connection until both ends have hung up, or in some cases when the caller hangs up but not the

This is really nice, and (to this non-beekeeper) looks like it was actually made by people familiar with beekeeping, unlike the original post.

I also loved the linked article - the concept of Type II Fun is definitely one I'll be adding to my vocabulary :)

And that's pretty much the exact same infrastructure you'd need for distributing authorized_keys. Instant revocation seems to be a giant hole in this article's argument which isn't addressed at all. If you fire somebody
