I'm surprised nobody mentioned radio communication. The AM (Amplitude Modulation) transmission is even quite simple to understand and build. You can even create an electric arc between the ground and the transmitting tower as a cheap (

Also why it's still a subsonic flight even with a ground speed greater than the speed of sound (~1200 km/h). Edit: as explained in the article, hum.

I would disagree with you: the headings are the actionable advice. To paraphrase: - Eliminate distractions - Facilitate yourself getting in the flow - Optimize your schedule around your productivity peak - Record your screen to do

I used to enjoy reading the bugfixes section in the patch notes. They make me wonder "how the heck is this game implemented ?!" due to the weirdly specific interactions. Eg: Winter Wonder Neeko will no longer lose a significant a

I don't know if the mechanism is loose enough to accept multiple combinations as valid inputs but it can drastically reduce the search space. For instance, if the safe also accepts the numbers before and after the correct one the searc

I'm not certain it would be bad for knowledge intensive industries. My reasoning is that people would use their time more wisely and get more done. As for young people (also affects older), I think the implication `more time working =&

It saddens me that Apple used to make (almost) perfect laptops – price aside – and it's no longer the case, leaving a bunch of geeks looking for a replacement. In 2017 after searching the market, filtering on required specs and reading

I tend to take this kind of article with a grain of salt, especially when there are definitive statements like: "To be successful over the course of a career requires the application and accumulation of expertise". This idea that

It should be noted that – contrarily to my first thoughts when reading the title – the implant won't work if the spinal cord was cut. It only serves as a sophisticated 3D printed titanium splint for the spine, which is already a big ac

One thing I miss on Vim I have on Spacemacs with the Evil layer is the "a" object (for "argument"). With it I can delete/change an argument of a function in a flash. Example (cursor on the last arg): importAntig

On first sight, with only my knowledge in hand, I do think it is a good idea. I'm also really interested in knowing if there are issues that could arise or people that annoyed by this kind of automatic conversion and why. What are your

DOT is just the name of the calculus used to prove the core of the language (and Dotty the name of the new compiler). It won't appear often in the literature meant for the general public so I don't think there will be much confusi

While the article is interesting, I find it quite confusing to read with its paragraphs once ironic once advisory...

Why not even trying to get something fair? I have the feeling that you don't value much your work to accept this state of affairs between you and whoever employs you. If you deliver quality products and can negotiate a bit, employers w

It feels like they put a lot of efforts to make the presentation look like an Apple presentation when their product seems clumsy and not-so-usable... The result is meh. :/

I'll add that the book has a good amount of exercises, both theoretical and implementation-related. It's worth noting that the book also includes the Haskell implementations of the data structures. Not that Standard ML is difficul

In case you are wondering how it works: it converts 8-bit chunks of data into 10-chars string, with the normal space as the '1' and non-breaking space as the '0' (the remaining two chars are used for control and to mark
