to add to this, I think spaced repetition is to learning, the way typing speed is to programming. It's good at solving for the minor frustrations and slowdowns that stand in between you & the complex reasoning to get to a solution.

Something that's interesting is that most of our agricultural crops are bred for full sun (ie, a big flat field). I wonder if there's room for new partial-shade versions of crops, so they work better alongside solar panels. I doub

The panel and the breakers in it are different things. If you get the right size breakers, that's fine, and even a good idea (breakers go bad over time from what I know. Maybe due to number of trips?). Putting in a new panel can get yo

What do you mean? An amplifier that can drive speakers that's also a streaming device? That exists at various price points. Anywhere from a raspberry pi taped to a "dumb" amplifier all the way to various Roon streamers. Altho

These exist. Mostly they have moved upmarket to serious audiophile nerds, but some are still below the price of an OG iPod. https://www.whathifi.com/us/best-buys/portable/best-portable... Can't speak to

I really like these exact pens as a lefty who holds the pen a little oddly. They write best straight vertical, and that happens to be how I hold the pen. It just feels so right, and it makes my handwriting look great, which it normally does

Seems like a lot of the article is about just that. A really robust, reliable structure & foundation, with progressively less permanent things attached. A brick facade can easily last hundreds of years, but not a big deal to replace. In

The basic concept of an NFT seems like it's the same as a signed print of a physical piece of art. It's a limited edition, identifiable unique object, and conveys little to no 'ownership' rights of the underlying art (in

Check out the Hermes Lite, it's an SDR with a transmit ability, and some other additional features. I think it's 10w by default, but a lot of people put that right into an amp to get up to 100+ watts.

There's a fun toy I just got called 'TinySA' (tiny spectrum analyzer). For $60, plus an adapter + some wire (another $20 maybe), you can get a live battery powered little receiver that shows noise across the whole spectrum f

An additional first-run issue - after I got logged in (two links to do so?), the dashboard loaded. I click 'Add Course', and I get a box that says that happened, but no row on the course table. A reload shows the course created.

I have an old Aeron I bought during my first work from home stint 10+ years ago. It's my daily chair for hours of time, and has held up wonderfully. Cost me something like $600 back then, so at $60/year so far of service, it'

I'd recommend watching Max Miller's Tasting History on youtube - it's a fun nerdy diversion of old cooking, which includes old, rare, and unusual spices.

I just bought a little teardrop camping trailer, and it was amazing how much it impacted my gas mileage. I tow with a Subaru outback, and I went from low 20s (23/24 on highway) to mid teens. Almost ran out of gas on our first trip sinc

That's the cancer my dad has - non-smoker, just a surprise stage 4. He's had great success with a few different inhibitors over the years. His doctor's approach has been using them to reduce the cancer to near-zero, and then

We enjoy mild backroads - dirt, sometimes rutted or washboarded or sandy, but not strictly "offroading" in the sense of Jeeps. I drive a Subaru Outback. My dad & I have done driving around Bears Ears, Grand canyon, various nat

The underlying problem seems to be that companies confuse identification with authentication. A drivers license number is a unique ID. The physical card with security features and a photo is the authentication that it belongs to me, holding

Yep - a pepper is an app-wide value that forces an attacker to get both a configuration value (from the source, or env vars) and also the hashes of the passwords (a db dump). Just another incremental thing for an attacker to overcome that i

If you have a Ham license that gives you permission on the right bands, and you are careful to only transmit on those bands, then it's legal. There are power & frequency rules, among others. It'd be a pretty big DIY project, a

Something like this was a minor plot point in Accellerando (book by Charles Stross). IP being rapidly bought & sold between a network of related inter-owned companies, to avoid ever holding it long enough to be sued or something.
